Automatic transmission
Introduction
The automat ic transmission is controlle d elec­
tronica lly . Power is transfe rred using a torque
converte r.
When a
m oderate driving styl e is used , the
transmission selects the most economical driving mode. The t ransmission upshifts at a lower RPM
D rivi ng
and downs hifts at a higher RPM to improve fue l
efficiency.
T he tra nsmission switches to a sporty mode after
a kick-down or when the driver uses a
s porty
dri ving style
characterized by quick acce lerator
peda l movements, heavy acceleration, frequent
changes in speed and t raveling at the maximum
speed .
If desired, the driver can also se lect the gears
manually ( tiptronic mode ) c::, page 94.

Electronic stabilization
control (ESC)
Description
Elect ronic stabilization control (ESC) supports
driver safety.
It red uces the risk of slipping and
improves driving stability. ESC detects crit ica l sit­
uations such as when the vehicle is oversteering
and understeering or the wheels are spinning.
The vehicle is stabilized by applying the brakes or reducing eng ine torq ue. When the ESC engages,
the
DJ ind icator light blinks in the instrument
cluste r.
The fo llow ing systems are integrated in the ESC:
Ant i-loc k bra king system (ABS)
ABS prevents the whee ls from locking when brak­
ing. The vehicle can sti ll be steered even during
hard brak ing. Apply steady pressure to the brake
pedal. Do not pump the pedal. A puls ing in the
brake pedal indicates that the system is acting to
stabilize the vehicle .
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can decrease brak ing dis­
tance . It increases braking power when the driver
presses the brake pedal quick ly in emergency sit­
uations . You must press and hold the b rake pedal
until the dangerous situat io n is over . In veh icles
with adapt ive cr uise control*, the bra ke assist
sys tem is more sensitive if the d ista nce detec ted
t o the vehicle dr iv ing ahead is too small.
O n ve hicles w ith act ivated and funct io ni ng night
vision assist*, the brake ass ist system ca n re­
spond more sens it ively if there is a warning.
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR )
ASR reduces eng ine power when the drive wheels
begin spinning a nd adap ts the force to the road
conditions . This makes it easie r to start, acceler­
ate and dr ive up h ills.
Electron ic differential lock (EDL )
EDL applies the brakes to a wheel that starts
spinning and transfers the drive power to the
148
other driving whee ls. This function is not avai la ­
ble at higher speeds.
In extreme cases , ED L automat ica lly swi tches off
to keep t he b rake on the braked wheel from over ­
heating. The veh icle is still working correct ly. ED L
will switch on again automatically when condi­
tions have returned to normal.
Steering recommendat ion
The ESC he lps to stabilize the vehicle by chang ing
t h e s teer ing torque.
Select ive wheel torque control
Se lective wheel to rque cont rol is used when d riv­
i ng on curves. Braking is targeted toward the
whee ls on the inside of the curve as needed . T his
a ll ows mo re precise dr iving in cu rves .
Automatic post -collision braking system
The "automat ic post -collis io n braking system"
can help to reduce the risk of sliding and of addi­
tiona l co llisions after an acc ident. If the a irbag
contro l modu le detects a collision, the veh icle is
braked by the ESC.
The veh icle does not brake automatically if:
- the driver presses the accelerator pedal, or
- the ESC, the brake system or the veh icle elect ri-
cal system are not functioning.
A WARNING
- The ESC and its integrated systems cannot
overcome the lim its imposed by natura l
phys ical laws . This is espec ially important
on s lippery or wet roads . If the systems be­
gi n ac ting to stabilize yo ur vehicle, you
should immediately a lter your speed to
match the road and traffic conditions. Do
not let the inc reased safety provided tempt
you into taking risks. This could increase
your r isk of a coll is ion.
- Please note the risk of a collision increases
when driving fast, especially through curves
and on slippery or wet roads, and when dr iv­
ing too close to objects ahead. The ESC and
its integrated systems cannot always pre­
vent co llisions -there is st ill a risk of acci­
dents!
