Geartronic–manual shifting
Geartronic allows you to manually shift among
your vehicle's six forward speeds. Geartronic
can be selected at any time.
•
To access the manual shifting position
from Drive (
D
), move the gear selector to
the right (to the area marked
M
in the illus-
tration or to
S
on models equipped with
Sport mode).
NOTE
On models equipped with Sport mode, the
transmission will not switch to manual shift-
ing mode until the gear selector is moved
forward or rearward. The selected gear will
then be shown in the information display
(see page 75).
•
To return to the
D
position from the manual
shifting position or Sport mode, move the
gear selector to the left.
While driving
•
If you select the manual shifting position
while driving, the gear that was being used
in the Drive position will also initially be
selected in the manual shifting position.
•
Move the gear selector forward (toward
"+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward
(toward "–") to shift to a lower gear.
•
If you hold the gear selector toward "–", the
transmission will downshift one gear at a
time and will utilize the braking power of
the engine. If the current speed is too high
for using a lower gear, the downshift will
not occur until the speed has decreased
enough to allow the lower gear to be used.
•
If you slow to a very low speed, the trans-
mission will automatically shift down.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N)
If the gear selector is in the
N
position and the
vehicle has been stationary for at least 3 sec-
onds (irrespective of whether the engine is run-
ning) then the gear selector is locked.
To be able to move the gear selector from
N
to
another gear position, the brake pedal must be
depressed and the ignition must be in posi-
tion
II
, see page 81.
Geartronic–starting on slippery surfaces
Selecting 3rd gear in Geartronic’s manual shift-
ing mode can help provide better traction when
starting off on slippery surfaces. To do so:
1.
Depress the brake pedal and move the
gear selector to the right from the
D
posi-
tion to the manual shifting position. The
text in the instrument panel display will
change from
D
to
1
.
2.
Press the gear selector forward and
release it (this selects 2nd gear). Press the
selector forward again and release it to
select 3rd gear.
3.
Release the brake pedal and press gently
on the accelerator pedal.
Shiftlock override
G031390
If the vehicle cannot be driven, for example
because of a dead battery, the gear selector
must be moved from the
P
position before the
vehicle can be moved
3
.
Lift away the rubber mat on the floor of the
storage compartment behind the center
console to expose the small opening for
overriding the shiftlock system.

If the battery is dead, the electric parking brake cannot be applied or released. Connect an auxiliary battery if the battery voltage is too low, see page 110.
