Manual gearshifting
General notes
You can change gear yourself using the steering
wheel gearshift paddles. The transmission must
be in position D.
Depending on which gearshift paddle is pulled,
the automatic transmission immediately shifts
into the next gear up or down, if permitted.
To use manual shifting, you have two options:
temporary setting
R
permanent setting
R
If you activate manual gearshifting, the multi-
function display will show the current gear
instead of transmission position D.
If manual gearshifting is deactivated, the gears
will be selected automatically.
