Please see the following page for information on using the Geartronic manual shift mode.
pg. 77 Automatic transmission (Geartronic)
Manual shifting - Geartronic
You can move the gear selector freely between the (MAN)ual and (D)rive positions while driving.
Gears 2, 3, and 4 have a "lock-up" function which reduces engine speed and helps save fuel.
The currently selected gear will be displayed in the instrument panel (see
To access the (MAN)ual shifting position from (D)rive, pull the gear selector back slightly from D
and move it to the left to MAN.
To return to the (D)rive position from MAN, move the gear selector to the right and push it
forward to the (D)rive position.
While driving
If you select the (MAN)ual position while driving, the gear that was being used in the (D)rive
position will also initially be selected in (MAN)ual position.
Move the gear selector forward (toward "+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward "-") to
shift to a lower gear.
If you hold the gear selector toward "-", the transmission will downshift one gear , and will utilize
the braking power of the engine. If the current speed is too high for using a lower gear, the downshift
will not occur until the speed has decreased enough to allow the lower gear to be used.
If you slow down to a very low speed, the transmission will automatically shift down.
When starting in the (MAN)ual position, 3rd gear is the highest gear that may be selected.
NOTE: Kickdown (see previous page) does not function when the transmission is in the manual
shift (geartronic) mode. The gear selector must be in D (Drive) position.
W Winter/Wet driving mode - enhanced vehicle traction
Mode W will only function if the gear selector is in the (D)rive position.
Press the button at the base of the gear selector to engage/disengage this driving mode (see
illustration).
An LED in the button will light up to indicate that W is engaged and this will also be displayed in
the instrument panel (see
This mode may be selected for starting/moving off on slippery roads.
