can only close them). For this purpose, the key must be in the lock
of the driver’s door and held in the locking or open position.

When the vehicle is stopped for a short period, for example at
trafficlights, it is only necessary to apply the brakes. It is not
necessary to move selector lever to “N N
”. The engine should
however only be running at idling speed.

On a gradient the handbrake should be applied firmly first and
then the parking lock engaged. This will ensure that the locking
mechanism is not too heavily loaded and makes the lock easier to
disengage.

In case of an electronic failure of the gearbox, emergency programs
are activated depending on the type of failure.
• The gear box continues to shift automatically, but strong jerking
is noticeable. Consult a Technical Service Centre.
• The gear box no longer shifts automatically.
In this case, you can shift manually. Only the 3 3r
rd
d
gear is available
in the positions "D D
", "3 3
" and "2 2
" of the selector lever.
In the positions "1 1
" and "R R
" of the selector lever, the 1 1s
st
t
gear and
reverse gear, respectively, are available as customary.
It may happen that the gear oil is overheated when the torque
converter has to work harder, especially if2 2n
nd
d
gear is missing.
In such cases, go to a Technical Service Centre as soon as possible.
