Depress the button on the front of the gear
selector knob to move the gear selector
between the R, N, D, and P positions.
The gear selector can be moved freely
between the Geartronic (manual shifting) and
Drive (D) positions while driving.
CAUTION
The transmission's temperature is moni-
tored to help prevent damage to the trans-
mission or other drivetrain components. If
there is a risk of overheating, the warning
symbol on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate and a text message will be displayed.
Follow the instructions provided there.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
HSA makes it easier to start or back up on a
hill by retaining pressure on the brake pedal
for several seconds after the pedal has been
released in order to keep the vehicle at a
standstill.
The brakes will be released after several sec-
onds or when the driver presses the accelera-
tor pedal.
Park: position P
Select the P position when starting or park-
ing.
Shiftlock
When P has been selected, the transmission
is mechanically blocked in this position. The
brake pedal must be depressed and the igni-
tion must be in at least mode II (see page 84)
before the gear lever can be moved from the
P position.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when the
vehicle is parked, particularly when park-
ing on a hill. The transmission's P mode
may not be able to keep the vehicle sta-
tionary if it is parked on an incline.
Press the control to apply the parking brake,
see page 130.
