0044 Neutral
Do not shift the transmission to
005C
while driving. The automatic trans-
mission could otherwise be dam-
aged.
No power is transmitted from the
engine to the drive wheels.
Releasing the brakes will allow you to
move the vehicle freely, e.g. to push
it or tow it.
If ESP ®
is deactivated or faulty: shift
the transmission to position 005Cif the
vehicle is in danger of skidding, e.g.
on icy roads.
If you switch off the engine using the SmartKey or the Start/Stop button,
the automatic transmission shifts to
neutral 005Cautomatically.
! Coasting in neutral
005Cmay
cause damage to the drive train. 003A Drive
The automatic transmission changes
gear automatically in the automatic
drive programs (Y page 122). All
forward gears are available. Driving tips
Changing gear The automatic transmission shifts through the
individual gears automatically when it is in trans-
mission position 005B. This automatic gear shift-
ing behavior is determined by:
R the selected drive program (Y page 116)
R the position of the accelerator pedal
R the road speed
Accelerator pedal position Your style of driving influences how the auto-
matic transmission shifts gear:
R little throttle: early upshifts
R more throttle: late upshifts
A dynamic driving style with high longitudinal
and lateral acceleration delays the shift points
to higher engine speeds. Double-clutch function When shifting down, the double-clutch function
is active regardless of the currently selected
drive program. The double-clutch function
reduces load change reactions and is conducive to a sporty driving style. The sound generated by
the double-clutch function depends on the drive program selected.
Kickdown Use kickdown for maximum acceleration:
X In the automatic drive programs, depress the
accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point.
Depending on the engine speed and the selec- ted drive program, the automatic transmis-
sion shifts to the lowest gear permissible to
give optimal acceleration.
X Ease off the accelerator pedal once the
desired speed is reached.
The automatic transmission shifts back up.
Kickdown is not available in manual mode M.
Rocking the vehicle free Rocking the vehicle free may help to free the
vehicle if it has become stuck in slush or snow. To do so, shift back and forth repeatedly
between transmission positions 005Band 005E.
The vehicle's transmission management
restricts shifting between transmission posi-
tions 005Band 005Eto speeds up to a maximum of
5 mph (9 km/h).
To shift back and forth between transmission
positions 005Band 005E, move the E-SELECT lever
up and down beyond the pressure point.
