As before, the gearshift (gate-type gearshift P, R, N, D) for the 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic
transmission is integrated in a center console built into the vehicle interior.
The following selector lever positions are possible:
P = parking interlock and engine starting position
R = reverse gear
N = neutral and engine starting position (no transfer of power)
D = all 7 forward gears are available in the shift range
Selector lever position P activates a parking lock. Selector lever position P is the only position
in which the ignition key can be released. The selector lever can only be moved out of
position P when the brake pedal is depressed and the ignition switched on.
The current transmission mode in the selected shift range is shown on the instrument cluster
display. Various transmission modes cannot be selected. In selector lever position D, the
vehicle always moves off in 1st gear, and the transmission control unit subsequently selects
the most appropriate gears automatically based on engine speed and road speed. Upwards of
approx. 6 km/h [3.7mph], it is not possible to change from D into R. When the transmission
is in automatic mode (D), it is possible to limit the shift range by nudging the selector lever
towards - or +.
Each time the selector lever is nudged from position D towards -, the shift range is reduced
by one gear, conditions permitting. To prevent excessive engine speeds and maintain the
power flow, downshift requests which would cause the engine to overrev are not carried out.
If the selector lever is pressed towards - and held, the transmission changes down by several
gears, conditions permitting. Each time the selector lever is pressed towards + the shift range
moves up a gear, before finally the transmission changes to automatic mode (D). If the
selector lever is pressed towards + and held, the transmission changes to automatic mode
and shifts accordingly.
