Driving

R Reverse

Select only when the vehicle is stationary.

N Idle

Always engage before starting engine.

If the driving situation requires, e.g. when down-

shifting on a slippery road surface, the Sequen-

tial Manual Transmission automatically

clutches and then declutches again, i.e. it is not

necessary to engage idling manually.

N is automatically engaged after just a

few seconds when you open the driver's

door or the hood with the engine running and do

not operate either pedals, shift paddles or the

selector lever. In these cases, to start off after

closing the driver's door or the hood, first move

the selector lever into the position N and then

into the drive position.<

S Sequential mode

You can shift up and down using the shifting

paddles or the selector lever. You do not need

to remove your foot from the accelerator to do

so.

After every engine start, as soon as the selector

lever is pushed to the right into the drive posi-

tion Β and the brake pedal is pressed, the

Sequential mode is activated.

Starting off is also possible on a level road sur-

face in second gear, e.g. in case of ice.

In the following situations, the Sequential Man-

ual Transmission thinks for you:

> Upshifts and downshifts are executed only

when they will result in a plausible combina-

tion of engine and vehicle speed; thus, for

example, a downshift that would cause the

engine to overrev will not be executed by

the system.

> When the vehicle is stationary, the trans-

mission automatically downshifts into first

gear.

> Shortly before dropping below a gear-

dependent minimum speed, the transmis-

sion downshifts automatically even without

your intervention.

D Drive mode

In the Drive mode, all forward gears are shifted

automatically.

Shifting from Sequential mode to Drive mode:

press selector lever to the right toward D/S.

To switch back into the Sequential mode: press

selector lever to the right again toward D/S or

shift using the shift paddles or the selector

lever.

Kick-down: for rapid acceleration, e.g. when

passing, press the accelerator pedal as far

down as it will go. You achieve maximum accel-

eration.

hood with the engine running and the vehicle

stopped, and do not operate either pedals, shift

paddles or the selector lever.<
