Upshifts and downshifts are executed only
when they will result in a plausible combina-
tion of engine and vehicle speed; thus, for
example, a downshift that would cause the
engine to overrev will not be executed by
the system.
Select this only when the vehicle is stationary.
N Neutral
You can select this in a car wash, for example.
The vehicle can roll.

When the vehicle stops, the transmission
automatically shifts down to first gear.
N remains engaged after the engine is
switched off if you leave the remote con-
trol in the ignition lock. Use this function in an
automatic car wash, for example. P is automati-
cally engaged after approx. 30 minutes.<
Shortly before the vehicle slows down to
below the minimum speed of the gear cur-
rently engaged, the transmission automati-
cally shifts down without requiring your
intervention.

Rapid downshifting: In sequential mode, you
can skip several gears to achieve optimal accel-

In drive mode, all forward gears are shifted auto-

steering wheel to shift gears in automatic
mode, the transmission switches to
manual mode.
When you press the selector lever forwards or
backwards, or when you move the shift paddles,
the manual mode is activated and Steptronic
changes gear. M1 through M7 are displayed in
the instrument cluster.
