AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
How to drive as economically
as possible
Leave the selector in position D
on the open road, depress the
accelerator pedal slightly to ensure
automatic gear changes at
comparatively low engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal fully
(so that it goes beyond the kickdown
point).
This will enable you to change
down to the optimal gear within
the engine range.

Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left.
Pushing the lever repeatedly allows
you to change gears manually.
- to move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards.
- to move up through the gears,
push the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on
the instrument panel.
Special cases
Under certain driving conditions
(e.g.: engine protection, with
electronic stability program (ESP)
operational: etc.) the "automatic
system"
may
change
automatically.
Likewise, to prevent "incorrect
manoeuvres", a gear change may
be refused by the "automatic
system": in this case the gear display
flashes for a few seconds as a
warning.
