The sport program is activated and DS appears
in the instrument cluster. This position is rec-
ommended for a performance-oriented driving
style.
When you briefly press the selector lever in the

and Steptronic changes gear. The instrument

ing selector lever positions R and P. To cancel
the lock, press the button on the front of the

Upshifts and downshifts are executed only
when they will result in a plausible combination
of engine and vehicle speed; thus, for example,
a downshift that would cause the engine to
overrev will not be executed by the system. The
gear selected appears briefly in the instrument
cluster, followed by the gear actually in use.
P Park
Select only when the vehicle is stationary. The
rear wheels are locked.
