146 Driving and operating

General

If a higher gear is selected when

vehicle speed is too low, or a lower

gear when vehicle speed is too high,

the shift is not executed. This can

cause a message in the Driver

Information Centre.

In manual mode no automatic shifting

to a higher gear takes place at high

engine revolutions.

Electronic driving

programmes

temperature programme increases

engine speed to quickly bring the

catalytic converter to the required

temperature.

automatically shifts to idling when

forward gear engaged and the

brake pedal is pressed.

the vehicle shifts at higher engine

speeds (unless cruise control is

on). SPORT mode 3 153.

■ Special programmes automatically

adapt the shifting points when

driving up inclines or down hills.

conditions or on other slippery

surfaces, the electronic

transmission control selects a

higher gear automatically.

down completely in automatic mode,

the transmission shifts to a lower gear
