The gearbox automatically shifts up or down into
the next gear before a critical engine speed is
reached.
Applies to RS model: When accelerating, the
gearbox does not automatically shift up into the
next gear shortly before the maximum engine
speed is reached. Remember to shift to the next
gear in good time.
The gearbox only allows manual gear changes if
the engine speed would remain within the per­
missible range.
Kick-down feature
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The kick-down feature is designed to give maxi­
mum acceleration.

the next higher gear is delayed until the engine
reaches maximum rpm.
A WARNING
Please note that if the road surface is slippery
or wet, the kick-down feature could cause the
driving wheels to spin, which could result in
skidding.
Coast ing mode
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
In coasting mode, you can use the vehicle's kinet­
ic energy to drive without using the accelerator
on certain stretches of road. This saves fuel by al­
lowing you to take your foot off the accelerator
earlier and let the vehicle coast (for instance
when approaching a speed restriction in a built­
up area).
Switching on coa sting mode
Important: Selector lever must be in D, gradient
must be less than 12 %.
� Select efficiency mode in drive select*
¢page 100 (you only have to do this once).
� Take your foot off the accelerator.
If you have selected the "on-board computer"
display, the message Coasting mode will then
appear. The gearbox automatically disengages
the clutch at speeds above 20 km/h and lets the
vehicle coast without the engine braking effect.
The engine ticks over at idling speed while the ve­
hicle is coasting.
Stopping coasting mode
� Press the brake pedal or accelerator.
To use the engine braking effect and overrun fuel
cut-off again, all you need to do is tap the brake
pedal briefly.
You can improve your fuel economy and help to
reduce emissions by using a combination of the
coa sting mode (i.e. coasting with low fuel con-

on a longer stretch of road) and the
overrun fuel cut-off (i.e. using the engine brak­
ing effect with no fuel consumption on a shorter
stretch of road).
A WARNING
- If you are approaching an obstruction when
coasting mode is switched on, please re­
member that the vehicle will not slow down
as quickly as usual when you take your foot
off the accelerator -risk of accident!
- The vehicle can pick up speed if you are driv­
ing down a slope in coasting mode -risk of
accident!
- If other people are using your car, you
should draw their attention to the coasting
mode.
ijJ) Note
- Coasting mode is only available in efficien­
cy* mode (drive select*).
- The message Coasting mode only appears
when the current fuel consumption display
is selected. The gear is no longer displayed
when you are in coasting mode (e.g. E in­
stead of E6).
- The coasting mode is deactivated tempora­
rily on gradients of 15 % or greater.
Launch control programme
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The launch control programme enables maxi­
mum acceleration.
Important: The engine must be warm and the
steering wheel must be pointing straight ahead.
