Restricting the shift range
Requirements

  • transmission position is engaged More.

  • drive program or is selected More.

To restrict the shift range:
briefly pull the steering wheel gearshift paddle .

The automatic transmission shifts to the next gear down, depending on the gear currently engaged. The shift range is also restricted.

The shift range selected is shown in the multifunction display. The automatic transmission shifts only as far as the selected gear.

Pull and hold the steering wheel gearshift paddle .

The automatic transmission will change to a shift range which allows easy acceleration and deceleration. To do this, the automatic transmission shifts down one or more gears and restricts the shift range.

The shift range selected is shown in the multifunction display. The automatic transmission shifts only as far as the selected gear.

The automatic transmission does not shift down if you pull the steering wheel gearshift paddle whilst travelling at too high a speed.

If the maximum engine speed for the restricted shift range is reached and you continue to depress the accelerator pedal, the automatic transmission will shift up automatically. This protects against engine overrev.

To derestrict the shift range:
briefly pull the steering wheel gearshift paddle .

The automatic transmission shifts to the next gear up, depending on the gear currently engaged. This derestricts the shift range at the same time.

The shift range selected is shown in the multifunction display. The automatic transmission shifts only as far as the selected gear.

To derestrict the shift range:
pull and hold the steering wheel gearshift paddle .
or
engage transmission position again More.

The automatic transmission shifts up one or more gears depending on the gear currently engaged. Simultaneously, the shift range restriction is deactivated and the transmission position appears in the multifunction display .

Recommended shift ranges for the following driving conditions:
  • use the engine's braking effect.
  • use the engine's braking effect on downhill gradients and when driving on steep roads, in mountainous areas as well as under arduous operating conditions.
  • use the engine's braking effect on extremely steep downhill gradients and on long downhill stretches.
