Sequential mode
To switch from sequential mode to Drive mode:
press the selector lever towards the right in the
direction of D.
After every engine start, sequential mode is
activated when you press the selector lever
towards the right while the brake is depressed.
Kick-down: to accelerate rapidly, e.g. when
passing another vehicle, depress the accelera-
tor pedal all the way. You will achieve maximum
acceleration.
You can shift up or down using the shift paddles
or the selector lever. You do not need to lift your
foot from the accelerator pedal while doing so.
To switch back to sequential mode: press the
selector lever again towards the right in the
direction of D or shift gears via the shift paddles
or the selector lever.
It is also possible to start off in second gear, e.g.
on slippery surfaces.
SMG assists you in the following situations:
>
Upshifts and downshifts are executed only
when they will result in a plausible combina-
tion of engine and vehicle speed; for exam-
ple, a downshift that would cause the
engine to overrev cannot be executed by
the system.
On uphill slopes, drive off without delay.
Do not hold the vehicle in place by
depressing the accelerator pedal; engage the
handbrake instead. Otherwise, the transmis-
sion could overheat.<
>
>
The system shifts down into first gear auto-
matically when the vehicle comes to a stop.
Dynamic Driving Control
Dynamic Driving Control enables you to drive
your BMW in an even more performance-ori-
ented manner at the touch of a button:
The system shifts down automatically just
before the engine speed falls below the
minimum speed required for a certain gear;
the driver does not need to intervene.
>
>
Gears are shifted more quickly.
In Drive mode, the engine speed range is
utilized optimally.
