rently in use:

gear shift pattern is instead R, N, D or M.
For manual shifting, the gear indicator in the
instrument panel displays the gear currently
being used.

transmission to help avoid damage to any
of the drive system components. If there is
a risk of overheating, a warning symbol will

Gear selector positions for
automatic transmissions
With an automatic transmission, a suitable
gear is selected automatically according to
current speed and power requirements.
Selecting gears
The gear selector is a shift-by-wire selector,
where shifting is done electronically instead of
mechanically. This makes shifting easier and
the gear positions more distinct.
