Automatic transmission - shift gate
positions
You can move the gear selector freely
between the (MAN)ual and (D)rive positions
while driving.
Depress the button on the front of the gear
selector knob to move between the R, N, D,
and P positions.
Please see the following page for informa-
tion on using the Geartronic manual shift
mode.

Automatic transmission (Geartronic)
Manual shifting - Geartronic
You can move the gear selector freely between
the (MAN)ual and (D)rive positions while
driving. Gears 2, 3, 4, and 5 have a "lock-up"
function which reduces engine speed and helps
save fuel.

in (MAN)ual position.

W Winter/Wet driving mode -
enhanced vehicle traction
Please refer to the information on page 95.
Sport mode (R-models only)
R-models are equipped with a (S)port button
that can be used to engage/disengage the Sport
shifting mode. An indicator light in the button
will go on when Sport mode is engaged.
With Sport mode engaged, the transmission
will shift up at higher rpm in first and second
gears, and will also shift down at higher rpm
for more immediate engine response during
acceleration and deceleration.

Speed-sensitive power steering
(Option on certain models)
With this feature, the steering is most responsive at lower speeds to
make parking, driving in city traffic, etc., easier. The effect of the power
steering diminishes as you accelerate for greater stability at highway
speeds.
Weight distribution affects handling

Economical driving conserves natural
resources
Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding
rapid starts and stops and adjusting the speed of your vehicle to immedi-
ate traffic conditions. Observe the following rules:

WARNING!
•Driving with the tailgate open: Driving
with the tailgate open could mean that
poisonous exhaust gases enter the
passenger compartment.
If the tailgate must be kept open for any
reason, proceed as follows:
- Close the windows.
- Set the ventilation system to air flow to
floor, windshield and side windows and
blower control to its highest setting.
•Floor mats: An extra mat on the driver's
floor can cause the accelerator pedal to
catch. Check that the movement of the
accelerator pedal is not impeded. Not
more than one protective floor covering
may be used at one time.
Cooling system
The risk for engine overheating is greatest,
especially in hot weather, when:
