Manual Description
Automatic transmission with Steptronic. When you change from D to M/S, the Sport Program is activated. This is indicated by "D S" in the gear selection display. The Sport Program is designed for performance-oriented driving.
With the first brief touch, the automatic transmission shifts from the Sport Program to the manual mode. When you move the selector lever forward in the "+" direction, the transmission shifts up. When the lever is moved back in the "–" direction, the transmission shifts down. Depending on the equipment version, 1 to 5 or M1 to M5 is indicated in the transmission range display.
Upshifts or downshifts will only be carried out by the ATC at appropriate engine speeds and road speeds. If the engine speed is too high, for instance, the downshift will not be executed. The gear selected will appear briefly in the instrument cluster followed by the current gear.
