Automatic transmission
WARNING
It is dangerous to shift the automatic
transmission out of parking position P or
neutral position N if the engine speed is
higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly
on the brake pedal, the vehicle could
accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. You
could lose control of the vehicle and hit
someone or something. Only shift into gear
when the engine is idling normally and when
your right foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
It is only possible to shift the
transmission
from position P to the desired position if
you depress the brake pedal. Only then is
the selector lever lock released.
Depress the brake pedal and keep
it depressed.
Shift the transmission to position
D or R.
Release the parking brake.
Release the brake pedal.
Carefully depress the accelerator
pedal.
If a warning tone sounds and the
Release Park. Brake message appears
in the multifunction display, the parking
brake is still applied. Release the parking
brake.
The vehicle locks centrally once
you have
pulled away. The locking knobs in the doors
drop down.
You can open the doors from the inside at
any time.
You can also deactivate the automatic
locking feature.
Upshifts take place at higher
engine
speeds after a cold start. This helps the
catalytic converter to reach its operating
temperature more quickly.
