R Reverse
To use the automatic function again, move the
selector lever to the right into position D.
Select only when the vehicle is stationary.
Malfunction
N Neutral
The warning lamp lights up. A malfunc-
tion has occurred in the transmission
system. Avoid heavy loads.
You can shift into neutral, for example, in auto-
matic car washes. The vehicle can roll.
While it will still remain possible to move the
selector lever to any desired position, the trans-
mission will revert to its default mode with only
a limited number of forward gears.
D Drive, automatic position
Under normal operating conditions, fuel con-
sumption is the lowest when the vehicle is
driven in position D.
Have the system checked as soon as possible.
Instructions on towing, tow starting and jump
starting begin on page 108.
Kick-down
The kick-down mode provides maximum accel-
eration.
Press the accelerator pedal past the increased
resistance point at the full-throttle position.

Move the selector lever from position D toward
the left into the M/S shifting slot.
The Sport program is activated and SD appears

ommended for a performance-oriented driving
style.
Headlamp flasher
Turn signals
Atypically rapid flashing of the indicator
lamp indicates that a turn signal bulb has
gone out.<
When you push the selector lever forward or
pull it back, this activates the manual mode and
Steptronic changes gear. The instrument clus-
ter shows M1 through M5.
Signaling briefly
Press lever to resistance point and hold for as
long as you wish to signal.
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.
Touch signaling
Press lever to resistance point.
The signal flashes three times.
If you wish, you can have this function
activated.<
