Do not shift the transmission to i
while driving. The automatic trans-
mission could otherwise be dam-
aged.
No power is transmitted from the
engine to the drive wheels.
Releasing the brakes will allow you to
move the vehicle freely, e.g. to push
it or tow it.
®
If ESP is deactivated or faulty: shift
the transmission to position i if the
vehicle is in danger of skidding, e.g.
on icy roads.
If you switch off the engine using the
Smart ey or the Start/Stop button,
the automatic transmission shifts to
neutral i automatically.
!
Coasting in neutral i may
cause damage to the drive train.

The automatic transmission shifts through the
individual gears automatically when it is in trans-
mission position h. This automatic gear shift-
ing behavior is determined by:
the selected drive program (
R
the position of the accelerator pedal
R
the road speed
R
Accelerator edal osition
Your style of driving influences how the auto-
matic transmission shifts gear:
little throttle: early upshifts
R
more throttle: late upshifts

A dynamic driving style with high longitudinal
and lateral acceleration delays the shift points
to higher engine speeds.

ouble clutch function
When shifting down, the double-clutch function
is active regardless of the currently selected
drive program. The double-clutch function
reduces load change reactions and is conducive
to a sporty driving style. The sound generated by
the double-clutch function depends on the drive
program selected.

Use kickdown for maximum acceleration.
In the automatic drive programs, depress the
X
accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point.
Depending on the engine speed and the selec-
ted drive program, the automatic transmis-
sion shifts to the lowest gear permissible to
give optimal acceleration.
Ease off the accelerator pedal once the
X
desired speed is reached.
The automatic transmission shifts back up.
ickdown is not available in manual mode
Roc in the vehicle free
Rocking the vehicle free may help to free the
vehicle if it has become stuck in slush or snow.
To do so, shift back and forth repeatedly
between transmission positions h and k.
The vehicle's transmission management
restricts shifting between transmission posi-
tions h and k to speeds up to a maximum of
mph ( km/h).
To shift back and forth between transmission
positions h and k, move the E-SELECT lever
up and down beyond the pressure point.
