CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (CVT)*
In order to accelerate rapidly in the
M/S + – Manual mode and in the
Sport program, e.g. when passing, shift
downwards manually or by kickdown.<
Whenever you want to return to automatic
shifting, just move the selector lever
toward the left to position D.
Switching from M/S + – Manual mode into
the selector lever positions P, R and N is
only possible via D.
Shifting on the steering wheel*
Available displays
The shift paddles allow the gears to be
changed rapidly and, above all, safely, since
both hands can remain on the steering
wheel.
P R N D SD 1 2 3 4 5 6 EP
Malfunction
EP appears on the display. The transmission
system is malfunctioning. Avoid high loads.
All selector lever positions can still be
engaged; in the forward driving positions,
however, the vehicle can only be driven
with a limited gear selection.
Use one of the two shift paddles to shift
upwards or downwards:
>Pull shift paddle toward body:
Transmission shifts upwards
>Push shift paddle away from body:
Transmission shifts downwards.
Have the system checked immediately.
Jump-starting and towing, refer to
pages 134, 136.
1 to 6 appear in the gear indicator.
The transmission will only execute upshifts
or downshifts that will result in a plausible
combination of vehicle speed and engine
rpm, e.g. downshifts that would result in
excessive engine speed are not executed.
