The automatic transmission adapts to your
individual driving style by continuously ad-
justing its shift points. These shift point ad-
justments take into account the current
operating and driving conditions.If the operating or driving conditions
change, the automatic transmission reacts
by adjusting the gearshift program.
The individual gears are selected automat-
ically. The gear selected depends on:
\4the selector lever position in shift rang-
es D, 4, 3, 2 and 1 (\2page 123)
\4the position of the accelerator pedal
(\2page 123)
\4the road speed
\4resistance (load, uphill gradient, trailer
towing)
The selector lever position engaged or the
current shift range is shown in the display.

When the selector lever is in position D,
you can perform gearshifts yourself, even
on vehicles with automatic transmission.
Downshifting
\1Press the selector lever to the left to-
wards D–.
The automatic transmission restricts
the shift range (\2page 123) by one
gear. The automatic transmission shifts
to the next gear down, depending on
the gear currently engaged.Upshifting
\1Press the selector lever to the right to-
wards D+.
The automatic transmission extends
the shift range by one gear. The auto-
matic transmission shifts to the next
gear up, depending on the current
gearshift program.
Derestricting the shift range
\1Press and hold the selector lever to-
wards D+ until
D is shown once more in
the display.
The automatic transmission shifts from
the current shift range directly to D.
ë
Neutral
No power is transmitted from
the engine to the drive wheels.
Releasing the brakes will allow
you to move the vehicle freely,
e.g. by pushing or towing.
Do not move the selector lever
to N while the vehicle is in mo-
tion. The automatic transmis-
sion could otherwise be
damaged.
If ASR is deactivated or ESP
®
has malfunctioned: only move
the selector lever to N if the ve-
hicle is in danger of skidding,
e.g. on icy roads.
ê
Drive
The automatic transmission
changes gear automatically. All
5 forward gears are available.
One-touch gearshifting Warning
G
Do not downshift for additional engine brak-
ing on a slippery surface. The drive wheels
may lose their grip and the vehicle could
skid.
iThe automatic transmission does not
shift down if you press the selector le-
ver towards D– and the speed of the
vehicle is too high. The engine could
otherwise overrev.

drive the vehicle closer to the obstacle
than the minimum distance.Warning displays

CAUTION
Pay particular attention to obstacles
above or below the sensors when park-

bars.
Parktronic does not detect such ob-
jects in the immediate vicinity. You
could damage the vehicle or objects.
Parktronic can malfunction as a conse-
quence of:
\4ultrasonic sources such as a truck’s
compressed-air brakes, an auto-
matic car wash or a pneumatic drill
\4attachments to the vehicle, e.g.
load-bearing implements or trailer

The warning display is divided into 5 yellow
and 2 red segments for each side of the ve-
hicle. Parktronic is operational if yellow in-
dicator segments3 and5 light up.The selector lever position determines
whether the front and/or rear area is mon-
itored.
One or more segments light up as the vehi-
cle approaches an obstacle, depending on
the vehicle’s distance from the obstacle.From the:
\4sixth segment, an intermittent warning
tone sounds for approximately
2seconds
\4seventh segment, a continuous warn-
ing tone sounds. You have reached the
minimum distance.
Roll-back warning
Parktronic automatically begins to monitor
the area behind the vehicle if the vehicle
begins to roll backwards without reverse
gear engaged, e.g. after stopping on an up-
hill gradient.
If Parktronic detects an obstacle no more
than 31 in (80 cm) away,
\4all the segments of the warning dis-
plays light up
\4a continuous warning tone sounds as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle
and for a further 2 seconds after the ve-
hicle has come to a halt N54.65-2075-31
