Driving and operating147Automatic transmission
electrified
This vehicle is a plug-in hybrid
vehicle. It has a combustion engine
and an automatic transmission with
integrated electrical engine which
enables electrical driving and
charging of the battery during the
deceleration and the braking of the
vehicle. Additionally, the battery can
be charged using a cable, e.g., at
domestic electric outlets or public
charging stations. The all-wheel drive version has a second electrical
engine for the rear axle.Gear selectionP:park position, front wheels are
locked, engage only when the
vehicle is stationary and the
parking brake is appliedR:reverse gear, engage only
when the vehicle is stationaryN/P:neutralD/B:automatic mode / automatic
mode with one-pedal driving
Do not accelerate while engaging a
gear. Never depress the accelerator
pedal and brake pedal at the same
time.
When a gear is engaged, the vehicle
slowly begins to creep when the
brake is released.Shifting in / out of P
To shift into P, press P on the selector
lever.
To shift out of P:
1. Depress brake pedal and press the release button.
2. To shift into R, push the selector
forwards beyond the point of

2. Push the selector backwards without passing the point of
resistance.
To shift from B to D, push the selector
backwards without passing the point
of resistance.
One-pedal driving With one-pedal driving, the
accelerator pedal can be used to
control the deceleration of the vehicle
down to a complete stop.
Quick releasing of the accelerator
pedal will result in aggressive
deceleration. Slow releasing of the
accelerator pedal will allow the
deceleration of the vehicle to be
adjusted as desired.
To use one-pedal driving, shift into B.
B is only selectable when the vehicle
is in D. Press the accelerator pedal to
achieve the desired speed. The
deceleration provided by one-pedal
driving provides full regenerative
braking by charging the high voltage
battery.Automatic transmission
The automatic transmission permits
automatic gearshifting (automatic
mode) or manual gearshifting
(manual mode).
Manual shifting is possible in manual
mode by tapping the selector lever to + or - 3 149.

gate as shown in the illustration
above.

150Driving and operatingIn manual mode, no automatic
shifting to a higher gear takes place
at high engine revolutions.
Gear shift indication
The symbol R or S with a number
beside it is indicated when
gearshifting is recommended for fuel
saving reasons.
Shift indication appears only in
manual mode.
Electronic driving programmes
● Following a cold start, the operating temperature
programme increases engine
speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature.
● Special programmes automatically adapt the shifting
points when driving up inclines or
down hills.
● In snowy or icy conditions or on other slippery surfaces, the
electronic transmission controlenables the driver to select
manually first, second or third
gear for starting off.
Kickdown Pressing down the accelerator pedal
beyond the kickdown detent will lead
to maximum acceleration
independent of selected driving
mode. The transmission shifts to a
lower gear depending on engine
speed.
