for instance in a car wash or to be pushed.
Engaging selector lever position N
NOTICE
Selector lever position P is automatically en-
gaged when standby state is switched off.
The wheels are blocked. There is a risk
of damage to property. Do not switch off
standby if the vehicle is meant to coast, e.g.,
in a car wash.
To engage selector lever position N, do the
following:
1. Switch on drive-ready state while pressing
on the brake pedal.
2. Depress the brake pedal.
3. Engage selector lever position N.
4. Switch off drive-ready state.
In this way, standby state remains switched
on, and a Check Control message is dis-
played.
The vehicle can roll.
Selector lever position P is engaged automati-
cally after approximately 35 minutes.
If the system is not operational, you may not
be able to change the selector lever position.

Driving
Kickdown
Kickdown is used to achieve maximum driving
performance.
Step on the accelerator pedal beyond the re-
sistance point at the full throttle position.
Without shift paddles: LOW mode
Principle
LOW mode is recommended when the engine
braking effect needs to be increased, for in-
stance on steep downhill gradients.
General information
In LOW mode, the transmission continues
shifting automatically, but generally in lower
gears than in selector lever position D.
LOW mode can therefore also be used to ac-
celerate faster.
Enabling LOW mode
To activate LOW mode, pull the selector lever
from selector lever position D to D/L.
The engaged gear is displayed in the instru-
ment cluster, for instance L1.
The transmission's LOW mode is enabled.
Exiting LOW mode
To exit LOW mode, pull the selector lever to
D/L.
D is displayed in the instrument cluster.
