Shift gate positions
Automatic transmission - adaptive system
The automatic transmission is controlled by an adaptive control system that constantly monitors the way in which the
transmission functions. It senses and adapts each gear shift for optimal performance. The system also monitors your
particular driving style and adapts gear shifting accordingly.
Automatic transmission - shift gate positions
You can move the gear selector freely between the
(MAN)
ual and
(D)
rive positions while driving.
Depress the selector knob on the front side of the gear selector to move between the R, N, D and P positions.
Please see the following page for information on using the manual (Geartronic) shifting function.
pg. 68 Automatic transmission (Geartronic)
Manual shifting - Geartronic
You can move the gear selector freely between the
(MAN)
ual and
(D)
rive positions while driving. Gears 2, 3, and 4
have a "lock-up" function which reduces engine speed and helps save fuel.
The currently selected gear will be displayed in the instrument panel (see
page 23
).
· To access the (MAN)ual shifting position from (D)rive, pull the gear selector back slightly from D and move it to the
left to MAN.
· To return to the (D)rive position from MAN, move the gear selector to the right and push it forward to the (D)rive
position.
While driving
If you select the (MAN)ual position while driving, the gear that was being used in the (D)rive position will also
initially be selected in (MAN)ual 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 you slow down to a very low speed, the transmission will automatically shift down.
· When starting in the (MAN)ual position, 3rd gear is the highest gear that may be selected.
NOTE:
Kickdown (see previous page)
does not function
when the transmission is in the manual shift (geartronic)
mode.
