D Drive, automatic position
To use the automatic function again, move the
selector lever to the right into position D.
Position for normal vehicle operation. All for-
ward gears are available.

Manually releasing transmission lock
Kick-down
In case of a power failure, e.g. when the
battery is drained or disconnected, or an
electrical malfunction, the transmission lock
must be manually released, as otherwise the
rear wheels are blocked and the vehicle cannot
be towed.<
The kick-down mode provides maximum accel-
eration.
Depress the accelerator pedal past the
increased resistance point at the full-throttle
position.
When manually releasing the transmis-
sion lock, depress the brake pedal, as
otherwise there is a danger of the vehicle rolling
when the transmission lock is manually
released.<
Sport program and manual mode M/S
The transmission lock should only be released
for towing. Reengage the transmission lock
after parking the vehicle at its destination.
If it also becomes necessary to manually
release the parking brake, follow this sequence:
1.
2.
Secure the vehicle against rolling.
Move selector lever from transmission posi-
tion D toward the left into the M/S shifting slot:
The selector lever remains in the M/S shifting
slot, the sport program is activated and DS is
shown in the instrument cluster. This position is
recommended for a performance-oriented driv-
ing style.
Manually release the parking brake, refer to
page 58.
3.
Manually release the transmission lock of
the automatic transmission.
Information on jump starting and towing from
page 237.
When the selector lever is pressed forward or
back, the manual mode is activated and the
Steptronic shifts the gear. The instrument clus-
ter shows M1 through M6.
Releasing
1.
Slide back the cover of the cup holder and
remove the floor mat on the bar between
the cup holders.
>
Press selector lever forward:
The transmission downshifts.
2.
Open the cover in the bottom of the cup
holder with the releasing tool.
>
Press selector lever back:
The transmission upshifts.
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
selected gear is briefly displayed in the instru-
ment cluster, followed by the current gear.
