engaged gear are displayed in the instrument
panel. This position is recommended for a per-
formance-oriented driving style.

the manual mode remains active.
With the sport program activated, the combus-
tion engine is always started.
When the selector lever is pressed forward or
back, the manual mode is activated and the

Changing gears in automatic mode D

executed using the shifting paddles.
The combustion engine starts.
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
Then if a certain amount of time passes without
a gear change being executed using the shifting
paddles or a corresponding acceleration, then
the transmission returns to automatic shifting
of the forward gears.
