Transmission position and drive program display
The current transmission position and drive program appear in the multifunction display.

1. Transmission position display
2. Drive program display
The arrows in the transmission position display show how and into which transmission positions you can change using the DIRECT SELECT lever.
If the transmission position display in the multifunction display is not working, you should pull away carefully to check whether the desired transmission position is engaged. Ideally, you should select transmission position D and drive program E or S. Do not restrict the shift range.
