Automatic transmission

Risk of accident
The movement of the pedals must not be re-
stricted. Always keep the driver's footwell
free from objects. Make sure that floormats
or carpets do not obstruct the pedals.
Always apply the parking brake when park-
ing.
Never leave children unsupervised in the ve-
hicle. They could move the selector lever
and the vehicle could roll away on uphill or
downhill gradients.
Do not change down for additional engine
braking on a slippery road surface. The drive
wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle
could skid.

Risk of fire
Make sure that the exhaust system does not
come into contact with easily ignitable ma-
terial, such as dry grass or petrol. The flam-
mable material may otherwise ignite and set
fire to parts of the vehicle.
You will find information about driving with
an automatic transmission in the "Getting
started" section ( page 36).

The automatic transmission automatically
G
adapts to your individual driving style
by continuously adjusting its shift points.
These shift point adjustments take into
account the current operating and driving
conditions. If the operating or driving con-
ditions change, the automatic transmis-
sion reacts by adjusting the gearshift
pattern.

On vehicles with a petrol engine, the
automatic transmission shifts after a
cold start at higher engine speeds.
This helps the catalytic converter to
reach its operating temperature more
quickly.
