ActiveSelect (manual mode)

Shift the selector lever from D first to the left
and then forward or rearward.
+
Shift to a higher gear
-
Shift to a lower gear
If a higher gear is selected at too low a
speed or a lower gear selected at too high
a speed, there is no change. This avoids
revs that are too low or too high.
If the engine speed is too slow, the
transmission automatically shifts to a lower
gear, but not if the gear was selected
below a certain speed.
If a higher gear is selected below a certain
speed a downshift does not take place.
When engine speed is high, there is no
automatic shift to a higher gear.
For reasons of safety, Kickdown also
functions in manual mode – see page 182.
The selected gear is shown in the
transmission display – see page 179.
