Driving tips
A
Neutral
Do not shift the transmission to N
while driving. The transmission
could otherwise be damaged.
Kickdown
Use kickdown for maximum acceleration.
No power is transmitted from the
engine to the drive wheels.
X Vehicles for USA: fully depress the
accelerator pedal.
The transmission shifts to a lower gear
depending on the engine speed.
X Vehicles for Canada: depress the
accelerator pedal beyond the pressure
point.
Releasing the brakes will allow you
to move the vehicle freely, e.g. to
push it or tow it.
If ESP® is deactivated or faulty:
only shift the transmission to
position N if the vehicle is in danger
of skidding, e.g. on icy roads.

Drive
When working on the vehicle, engage the
parking brake and shift AUTOTRONIC into
park position P. Otherwise the vehicle could
roll away which could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury.
The automatic transmission
changes gear automatically. All
forward gears are available.
Gearshifting
Trailer towing
The automatic transmission shifts to the
individual gears automatically when it is in
transmission position D. This automatic
gearshifting behavior is determined by:
X When towing a trailer and driving downhill,
shift to a lower gear if the automatic
transmission constantly shifts between
two gears.
X Engaging a lower gear and reducing the
speed reduces the risk of the engine
overheating.
