The sport program is activated and SD appears
in the instrument cluster. This position is
recommended for a performance-oriented
driving style.
With the vehicle stationary, press the brake
pedal before shifting out of P or N; the shift
command will not be executed unless the brake
is applied.
When the selector lever is moved briefly
towards + or –, manual operation is activated
and the Steptronic shifts gears. The instrument

To prevent the vehicle from 'creeping' after you
select a gear, maintain pressure on the brake
pedal until you are ready to start.
To prevent the vehicle from rolling,
always select position P and engage the
handbrake before leaving the vehicle with the
engine running.<
Upshifts and downshifts are executed only
when they will result in a plausible combination
of engine and vehicle speed; as a result, for
example, a downshift that would cause the
engine to overrev will not be executed by the
system. The gear selected will appear briefly in
the instrument cluster followed by the current
gear.
P Park
Select only when the vehicle is stationary. The
transmission locks to prevent the rear wheels
from turning.
