CAUTION
• When starting in cold weather, the auto- matic transmission may shift up at slightlyhigher engine speeds than normal untilthe automatic transmission fluid reachesnormal operating temperature.
• Do not race a cold engine immediatelyafter starting. Oil flow may not reachsome lubrication points fast enough toprevent engine damage.
• The engine should be idling when youmove the gear selector. Never accelerateuntil after you feel the transmissionengage. Accelerating immediately afterselecting a gear will cause harsh engage-ment and premature transmission wear.
• Selecting
P or N when idling at a stand-
still for prolonged periods of time will helpprevent overheating of the automatictransmission fluid.

Available drive modes
COMFORT
This is the default mode. When the engine is started, COMFORT drive mode will be selected and the Start/Stop func-tion will be activated. This setting offers drivingcomfort, light steering and relatively soft suspen-sion.
ECO
ECO drive mode is designed to help promote fuel-efficient driving. In this mode, Start/Stop is activated and certain climate system functions will be reduced. There is an ECO gauge in the instrument panel to indicate the current level of fuel-efficiency. Seealso the article "ECO drive mode."
DYNAMIC
Dynamic drive mode is designed to provide
sportier driving characteristics. Gear shifting will be faster and more distinct and will occur athigher rpm. Steering response will be more immediate and the suspension will be stiffer 3
to help reduce
body roll when cornering.
Start/Stop will be
deactivated.

ECO drive mode
The Eco drive mode is a function designed to give the driver the opportunity to drive more eco-nomically and to help reduce fuel consumption.
When this mode is activated, the following cha- racteristics are modified:
• The automatic transmission's shifting points
• The engine management system and accel-erator pedal response
• Eco Coast functionality is activated: enginebraking is disabled at speeds betweenapprox. 40 and 87 mph(65 and 140 km/h)
• Climate system settings: certain functionswill be temporarily reduced or deactivated
• Information is shown in an ECO gauge in theinstrument panel to help promote more eco-nomical driving
NOTE
When Eco is activated, several climate system parameters are changed and the function ofcertain current-consuming systems will bereduced. Some of these functions can be restarted manually but full functionality will not berestored until Eco is deactivated.
Selecting ECO modeWhen the engine is switched off, ECO mode is deactivated and must be reactivated each time the engine is started.
ECO will appear in the
instrument panel when the function is activated.

Eco CoastEco Coast essentially deactivates engine braking,allowing the vehicle to roll freely. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the transmission is automatically disengagedfrom the engine to allow the vehicle to roll as faras possible, which helps reduce fuel consump-tion. This feature is primarily intended to be used in driving situations where the vehicle can roll freely,such as down gentle hills or when a decrease inspeed is expected, such as when approaching anintersection or a traffic light. Eco Coast enables proactive driving with as little braking as possible. Depending on the driving situation, Eco and Eco Coast can be used in different ways to helpreduce fuel consumption: • With Eco activated
: this enables Eco Coast,
which allows the vehicle to roll freely for as
far as possible when the driver releases the
accelerator pedal (e.g., when approaching a traffic light or intersection).
or
• With Eco deactivated
: engine braking can
be used when the vehicle will only roll for

378 a short distance
(in heavy traffic, etc.) or
when driving down hills .
To help keep fuel consumption as low as possi- ble, Eco Coast should not be used in traffic situa-tions where the brakes have to be used fre-quently.
Activating Eco Coast
Eco Coast is activated when the accelerator pedal is released completely if:
• Eco is activated
• The gear selector is in
D
• The vehicle's speed is between approxi-mately 40 and 87 mph(65 and 140 km/h)Always observe posted speed limits
• The gradient of a down-slope is less thanapproximately 6%
COASTING will appear in the instrument panel
when Eco Coast is being used.
Limitations
Eco Coast is not available if:
• The engine and/or transmission have not reached their normal operating temperature
• Cruise control is activated
• The gear selector is moved from
D to " +/-"
for manual shifting
• The vehicle's speed is not within the40 and 87 mph(65 and 140 km/h) range •
The gradient of a down-slope is more thanapproximately 6%
• The steering wheel paddles
* are used for
manual shifting
Deactivating and turning off Eco Coast
In certain situations, it may be advisable to switch off the Eco Coast function, such as:
• When driving down steep hills, in order to uti-lize engine braking
• Prior to passing another vehicle, in order todo so as safely as possible
Deactivating Eco Coast (and reactivating enginebraking) can be done in the following ways: • Move the gear selector to the manual "
+/–"
position
• Change gears using the steering wheel pad- dles
*
• Press the brake or accelerator pedal
Turn the function off by changing drive modes * or
by turning ECO off in the center display's Func- tion view. The vehicle will roll for short distances even if Eco Coast is turned off to help conserve fuel.However, for the best fuel economy, the functionshould be used as much as possible.

Park – P
Park is activated using a switch located next to the gear selector. Select P when the vehicle is parked or when the
starting the engine. The vehicle must be station- ary when P is selected.
The ignition must be in mode II and the brake
pedal must be depressed before the gear selec-tor can be moved from P.
In position P, the transmission is mechanically
locked. Always apply the parking brake when the vehicle is parked.
NOTE
The gear selector must be in the P position
before the vehicle can be locked and the alarm set.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when the vehicle is parked, particularly when parking on a hill. The transmission's P mode may not be
able to keep the vehicle stationary if it is parked on an incline.
Reverse – R
The vehicle must be stationary before R can be
selected.
Neutral – N
No gear is selected and the engine can be started. Always apply the parking brake if thevehicle is not moving and the gear selector is in the N position.
The ignition must be in mode II and the brake
pedal must be depressed before the gear selec-tor can be moved from N.
Drive – D
D is the normal driving position and gear shifting
is fully automatic. The vehicle must be stationary when the gear selector is moved from R to D.
Manual shifting – M (shown on the
instrument panel)
Manual shifting can be selected at any time and engine braking will occur when the acceleratorpedal is released. To select, move the gear selector from D to the
side toward " ±". The current gear (1 - 8) will be
shown in the instrument panel.
• Press the gear selector forward toward "
+"
(plus) and release it to shift up one gear.
• Pull the gear selector rearward toward "

For smooth shifting and engine performance, the transmission will shift down automatically if thevehicle's speed becomes too low for the selectedgear. Move the gear selector to the side toward D at
any time to resume automatic gear shifting.
Safety functionTo help avoid excessive rpm that might cause engine damage, the transmission control modulehas a down-shift protection feature that in somesituations may prevent a down-shift or kickdown. During kickdown, the transmission may shift down one or more gears, depending on theengine's rpm and will shift up again when max.rpm is reached for a specific gear.
