Transmission positions
Park position
Do not shift the transmission into
position P unless the
vehicle is stationary. The parking
lock should not be used as a brake
when parking. In addition to
engaging the parking lock, you
must always apply the parking
brake to secure the vehicle.
The SmartKey can only be removed
if the transmission is in position P.
If the SmartKey is removed from
the ignition lock, the selector lever
is locked.
If the vehicle electronics are
malfunctioning, the selector lever
may be locked in position P. To
release the selector lever lock, see
"Releasing the parking lock
manually".
Reverse gear
Only shift the transmission to R when the vehicle is stationary.
Neutral
Do not shift the transmission to N while driving. The transmission could otherwise be damaged.
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:
only shift the transmission to position N if the vehicle is in danger of skidding, e.g. on icy roads.
Rolling in neutral N can damage the drive train.
Drive
The automatic transmission changes gear automatically. All forward gears are available.
