Manual Program
AUTOMATIC SHIFTSThe shift operations can also be influenced manually. For this purpose, move selector lever from the "D" position into the manual shift plane to the right. Short forward tipping (+) shifts the transmission up, while tipping towards the rear (-) shifts down. The transmission control unit monitors the admissible rpm limits in this program as well. If the rpm limits stored in the computer are exceeded or not reached in the individual gears, automatic upshifts or downshifts are made even if the selector lever remains in the manual gate.
Automatic downshifts are only made down to 2nd gear. If it is desired to move off in 1st gear (e.g. after stopping at a red light), 1st gear must be engaged by actuating the rocker switch.
The kickdown feature cannot be used since it is not activated in this program.
The selected gear is displayed in the speedometer.
If the manual selection feature fails, the electronic transmission control unit automatically shifts to the automatic program, and the "D" position is displayed on the selector lever p6sition display.
