2. Select neutral gear, set selector lever to N.

Driving and operating129
On vehicles with Open&Start system,
P flashes in the transmission display
when the ignition is switched off if P is
not engaged or the parking brake is
not applied.
If Sport mode is activated, 1 is
illuminated.
If the Winter programme is activated,
T is illuminated.
Selector leverP=park position, front wheels
locked, engage only when the
vehicle is stationary and the
parking brake is appliedR=reverse gear, engage only
when vehicle is stationaryN=neutralD=automatic mode with all gears
The selector lever can only be moved out of P or N when the ignition is on
and the foot brake is depressed
(Selector lever lock).
When the selector lever is in N, the
selector lever lock is activated after a
delay and only if the vehicle is
stationary.
When the selector lever is in the P or
N position, control indicator j in the
gear indicator strip illuminates red
when the selector lever is locked. If
the selector lever is not in the P
position when the ignition is switched
off, control indicator j and P in the
gear indicator strip flash.
To engage P or R, press the release
button on selector lever.
When position N is selected, press
foot brake or engage parking brake
before starting.

Driving and operating131
No automatic shifting to a higher geartakes place at a high engine speed.
For reasons of safety, kickdown is
also available in manual mode.
Electronic driving
programmes ■ Following a cold start, the operating
temperature programme increases
engine speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature.
■ The automatic neutral shift function
automatically shifts to idling when
the vehicle is stopped with a
forward gear engaged.
■ When Sport mode is engaged, the vehicle shifts at higher engine
speeds (unless cruise control is
on). Sport mode 3 140.Winter programme T
Activate the Winter programme to
assist starting off on a slippery road surface.
Activation on vehicles without manual
mode

conditions, e.g. greater load or
gradients.
■ When Sport mode is engaged, shift
times are reduced and the
transmission shifts at higher engine speeds (unless cruise control is
on). Sport mode 3 140.
Winter programme T
Activate the Winter programme if you
have problems starting off on a
slippery road surface.
Activation
Press the T button. The transmission
switches to automatic mode. The

■ 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 highKickdown
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.

140Driving and operating9Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.

the SPORT button. ESPon appears in
the service display. ESP® Plus
is also
reactivated the next time the ignition is switched on.
Sport mode 3 140.
Interactive driving system Interactive driving system (IDS Plus
)
combines the electronic stability
program (ESP® Plus
) with the antilock
brake system (ABS) and continuous damping control (CDC) to improve
driving dynamics and vehicle safety.
Sport mode
Suspension and steering become
more direct and provide better
contact with the road surface. The
engine reacts more quickly to
accelerator pedal movements.
Automatic gear changing is also more
responsive.
Control indicator IDSPlus
3 90.
Activation
Press SPORT button.
Control indicator 1 3 89.

Driving and operating141
Winter programme activation not
possible.
Deactivation
Briefly press the SPORT button.
Sport mode is deactivated the next
time the ignition is switched on or if
the Winter programme is activated.
Continuous damping
control Continuous damping control (CDC)
changes suspension with damping
adaptation of each shock absorber to the current driving situation and road
conditions.
When Sport mode is engaged, the
damping control is adapted to a
sportier driving style.
Control indicator IDS+ 3 90.Automatic level control
The rear level of the vehicle is
automatically adjusted to the load
conditions while driving. Suspension
and ground clearance are increased,
which improves driving conditions.
The automatic level control is
activated after the vehicle has been
driven for some distance, depending
on the vehicle loading and the road
conditions.
Do not use full payload in the event of
a fault. Have the cause of the fault
remedied by a workshop.
Cruise control
The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds of approx.
20 to 120 mph. Deviations from the
stored speeds may occur when
driving uphill or downhill.
For safety reasons the cruise control
cannot be activated until the foot
brake has been operated once.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant
speed.
