Steptronic changes gear. M1 through M6 are

displayed on the instrument cluster.

quickly since both hands can remain on the

steering wheel.

When you use the shift paddles on the

steering wheel to shift gears in automatic

mode.

If you do not accelerate or shift gears using

the shift paddles for a certain amount of

time, the transmission switches back to

automatic mode.

If the selector lever is in the M/S gear

plane, manual mode remains active.

To shift up: pull one of the shift paddles.

To shift down: press one of the shift pad-

dles.
