Never leave the car unattended when the engine is running. If, by mistake, the gear selector is moved from P, the car may start moving. R (Reverse) Never engage R while the car is moving forward. N (Neutral) Neutral - no gear engaged. Use the parking brake. D (Drive) D is the normal driving position and should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy. The car should not be moving when shifting from R to the D position. Automatic transmission - adaptive system The automatic transmission is controlled by an adaptive control system that constantly monitors the way in which the transmission functions. It senses and adapts each gear shift for optimal performance. The system also monitors your particular driving style and adapts gear shifting accordingly. 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. pg. 136 Geartronic (option ) Manual shifting - Geartronic You can move the gear selector freely between the (MAN) ual and (D) rive positions while driving. Gears 3, and 4 have a "lock- up" function which reduces engine speed and helps save fuel. The currently selected gear will be displayed in the instrument panel (see page 30). To access the (MAN) ual shifting position from (D) rive, move the gear selector to the left to MAN. To return to the (D) rive position from MAN, move the gear selector to the right. While driving If you select the (MAN) ual position while driving, the gear that was being used in the (D) rive position will also initially be selected in (MAN) ual position. Move the gear selector forward (toward "+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward "-") to shift to a lower gear. If you hold the gear selector toward "-", the transmission will downshift, one gear at a time, and will utilize the braking power of the engine. If the current speed is too high for using a lower gear, the downshift will not occur until the speed has decreased enough to allow the lower gear to be used.

Neutral - no gear engaged. Use the parking brake.

D is the normal driving position and should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy. The car
should not be moving when shifting from R to the D position.

Manual shifting - Geartronic
You can move the gear selector freely between the (MAN) ual and (D) rive positions while driving. Gears 3, and 4
have a "lock- up" function which reduces engine speed and helps save fuel.
The currently selected gear will be displayed in the instrument panel (see
page 30
).
To access the (MAN) ual shifting position from (D) rive, move the gear selector to the left to MAN.
To return to the (D) rive position from MAN, move the gear selector to the right.
While driving
If you select the (MAN) ual position while driving, the gear that was being used in the (D) rive position will also
initially be selected in (MAN) ual position.
Move the gear selector forward (toward "+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward (toward "-") to shift to a lower
gear.
If you hold the gear selector toward "-", the transmission will downshift, one gear at a time, and will utilize the
braking power of the engine. If the current speed is too high for using a lower gear, the downshift will not occur until
the speed has decreased enough to allow the lower gear to be used.
