Reverse gear inhibitorThe reverse gear inhibitor hinders the possi- bility of mistakenly attempting to engagereverse gear during normal forward travel.
• Follow the gearing pattern printed on the gear lever and start from neutral position,N
before moving it to R position.
• Engage reverse gear only when the car isstationary.
NOTE
With the upper variant of the shifting pat- tern for 6-speed gearbox (see previousillustration) -
first press down the gear
lever in the N position in order to engage
reverse gear.

Gear shift indicator*
The gear shift indicator notifies the driver when it is appropriate to engage the nexthigher or lower gear. An essential detail inconnection with environmental driving is todrive in the right gear and to change gear inplenty of time.
Manual gearboxGear shift indicator for man-ual gearbox. Only onemarker is illuminated at atime - during normal drivingit is only illuminated in thecentre.
When gearing up/down as recommended, theupper one is illuminated at +" or the lower at
" -", marked red in the illustration.
Automatic gearbox
Combined instrument panel "Digital" with gear shift indicator. An indicator is available as an aid on some variants - GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) - whichnotifies the driver when it is appropriate toengage the next higher or lower gear in orderto obtain the lowest possible fuel consump-tion. However, taking into consideration cha-racteristics such as performance and vibra- tion-free running, it may be advantageous tochange gear at a higher engine speed. Theframed number indicates the current gear.
With "Analogue" combinedinstrument panel, the gearpositions and indicatorarrows are shown in theinstrument's centre.

Geartronic - Sport mode* (S) 9The Sport programme provides sportier characteristics and allowshigher engine speed for the gears.At the same time it responds more
quickly to acceleration. During active driving,the use of a lower gear is prioritised, leadingto a delayed upshift.
To activate Sport mode: • Move the gear selector to the side from
D
position to the end position at " +S–" - the
combined instrument panel changes indi- cation from
D to S.
Sport mode can be selected at any time while driving.
Geartronic - Winter modeIt can be easier to pull away on slippery roadsif 3rd gear is engaged manually.
1. Depress the brake pedal and move the gear selector from D position to the end
position at " +S–" - the combined instru-
ment panel changes indication from
D to
the figure
110 .
2. Scroll up to gear 3 by pushing the lever forward towards " +" (plus) twice - the dis-
play shifts the indication from
1 to 3.
3. Release the brake and accelerate care- fully. The gearbox "winter mode" means that the car moves off with a lower engine speed andreduced engine power on the drive wheels.
Kick-downWhen the accelerator pedal is pressed all theway to the floor (beyond the position normallyregarded as full acceleration) a lower gear isimmediately engaged. This is known as kick-down. If the accelerator is released from the kick- down position, the gearbox automaticallychanges up. Kick-down is used when maximum accelera- tion is needed, such as for overtaking. Safety function To prevent overrevving the engine, the gear- box control program has a protective down-shift inhibitor which prevents the kick-downfunction. Geartronic does not permit downshifting/ kick-down which would result in an enginespeed high enough to damage the engine.Nothing happens if the driver still tries to shiftdown in this way at high engine speed – theoriginal gear remains engaged. When kick-down is activated the car can change one or more gears at a time depend-ing on engine speed. The car changes up when the engine reaches its maximum speedin order to prevent damage to the engine.
