124Driving and operatingCaution
It is not advisable to drive with thehand resting on the selector lever.
Manual transmission
automated
This transmission permits manual
(manual mode) or automatic gear
shifting (automatic mode), both with
automatic clutch control.
Transmission display
Shows the mode and current gear.
The display flashes for a few seconds
when A, M or R is selected with the
engine running and the foot brake not
activated.
Starting the engine
Depress the foot brake when starting
the engine. If the foot brake is not
depressed, j illuminates in the
instrument cluster, "N" flashes in the
transmission display and the engine
cannot be started.
Starting is not possible if all brake
lights fail.
When the foot brake is depressed, the
transmission automatically shifts to
N upon starting. There may be a slight
delay.
Selector lever
Page 127 of 231

Driving and operating125
Always move the selector lever in the
appropriate direction as far as it will
go. Upon release, it automatically
returns to the centre position.N=Neutral position.A=Switch between automatic and
manual mode. The
transmission display shows A
or M.R=Reverse gear. Engage only
when vehicle is stationary.+=Shift to a higher gear.-=Shift to a lower gear.
Starting off
Depress the foot brake and move the
selector lever to A, + or -. The
transmission is in automatic mode
and first gear is engaged. If R is
selected, reverse gear is engaged.
The vehicle starts to move when the
brake is released.
To start off without depressing the
foot brake, accelerate immediately
after engaging a gear.
If neither the accelerator nor the
brake pedal are depressed, no gear
is engaged and A or R flashes for a
brief time in the display.
Stopping the vehicle In A, first gear is engaged and the
clutch is released when the vehicle is
stopped. In R, reverse gear remains
engaged.
Engine braking
Automatic mode
When driving downhill, the manual
transmission automated does not
shift into higher gears until a fairly
high engine speed has been reached. It shifts down in good time when
braking.
Manual mode
To utilise the engine braking effect,
select a lower gear in good time when
driving downhill.Rocking the vehicle
Rocking the vehicle is only
permissible if the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud or snow. Move the selector
lever between R and A (or + or -) in a
repeat pattern. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration.
Parking
Apply the parking brake. The most recently engaged gear (see
transmission display) remains
engaged. With N, no gear is engaged.
When the ignition is switched off the
transmission no longer responds to
movement of the selector lever.
Manual mode
If a higher gear is selected when the
engine speed is too low, or a lower
gear when the speed is too high, the
shift is not executed. This prevents
the engine from running at too low or
too high an engine speed.
If engine speed is too low, the
transmission automatically shifts to a
lower gear.

■ pressing the T button again,
■ turning off the ignition,
■ switching to manual mode (when switched back to automatic mode,
the Winter programme is again
active),
■ when clutch temperature is too high.Kickdown
If the accelerator pedal is pressed
past the pressure point, the
transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on engine speed.
Fault
To prevent damage to the manual transmission automated, the clutch is
engaged automatically at high clutch
temperatures.
A illuminates in the event of a fault.
Continued driving is possible. Manual
mode cannot be used for shifting.
If F appears in the transmission
display, continued driving is not
possible.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
Interruption of power
supply
The clutch is not disengaged if there is an interruption of the power supply
when a gear is engaged. The vehicle
cannot move.
If the battery is discharged, start the
vehicle using jump leads 3 187.
If the cause of the fault is not a
discharged battery, seek the
assistance of a workshop.

Service and maintenance195
Fixed service intervalWhen service is due, InSP appears in
the odometer display for approx.
10 seconds when the ignition is
switched on. Have the next service performed by a workshop within
one week or 300 miles (whichever
occurs first).
Flexible service interval The service interval is based on
several parameters depending on
usage and calculated using these
parameters.
If the remaining distance is less than
1000 miles, InSP is displayed with a
remaining distance of 600 miles when
the ignition is switched on and off. If
less than 600 miles remain, InSP is
displayed for several seconds. Have
the next service performed by a
workshop within one week or
300 miles (whichever occurs first).Display of remaining distance:
1. Switch off ignition.
2. Briefly press the trip odometer reset button. The odometer
reading is shown.
3. Press and hold the reset button for
approx. 2 seconds. InSP and the
remaining distance are displayed.Recommended fluids,
lubricants and parts
Recommended fluids and lubricants Only use products that meet the
recommended specifications.
Damage resulting from the use of
products not in line with these
specifiations will not be covered by
the warranty.9 Warning
Operating materials are
hazardous and could be
poisonous. Handle with care. Pay
attention to information given on
the containers.
Engine oil
Engine oil is identified by its quality
and its viscosity. Quality is more
important than viscosity when
selecting which engine oil to use. The oil quality ensures e.g. engine
cleanliness, wear protection and oil
