not completely in the selected position. In such an instance, press the brake
pedal and put the selector lever into the required position.

When accelerating, the gearbox automatically shifts up into the higher gear
just before the maximum permissible engine speed is reached. If a lower gear
is selected, the gearbox does not shift down until there is no risk of the engine
overrevving.
Note
It may be beneficial, for example, when travelling downhill, to use manual
shifting of gears. Shifting to a lower gear reduces the load on the brakes and
hence the wear of the brakes.
Starting-off and driving


Moving off and pausing temporarily
›
Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal.
›
Start the engine.
›

The selector lever position N does not have to be selected when stopping for a
short time (e.g. at a crossroads). However, the brake pedal should be de-
pressed, in order to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Accelerating hard while in motion (kick-down function)
If the accelerator pedal is depressed while the vehicle is in forward drive mode,
the kick-down function is turned on.
The gear change is adjusted accordingly to achieve maximum acceleration.
WARNING
Rapid acceleration ( e.g. on slippery roads) can lead to a loss of control over
the vehicle – risk of accident!
