Control options
Selector lever module
Selector lever positions "P", "R", "N" and "D" can be selected
by pressing the selector lever module in the center console
forwards or pulling it backwards.
If the selector lever is pushed to the left in the "D" position,
the transmission switches to "Manual" transmission mode. It
is then possible to upshift and downshift in this position by
pushing the selector lever forwards or pulling it backwards.
Steering wheel gearshift
In addition to operating the system using the selector lever,
it is also possible to perform gear shifting via the steering
wheel gearshift buttons on vehicles equipped with the "Multi-
function sport steering wheel with shift paddles".
Transmission modes
It is possible to select two different transmission modes
using the Economy mode switch:
• Economy "E" transmission mode: The "Economy" trans-
mission mode is designed for optimal fuel consumption. It
is characterized by early upshifting and a low rpm level.
• Standard "S" transmission mode: The "Standard" trans-
mission mode is designed for active driving. It is characte-
rized by its readiness to downshift and a higher rpm level.
