- Fig. 1 Detail of the centre console: Selector lever with interlock button
Applies to vehicles: with multitronic
The gears are changed automatically.
Driving away from a standstill
Press and hold the brake pedal.
Press and hold the interlock button (the button in the selector
lever handle), move the selector lever to the desired position,
for instance D/S, and release the interlock button.
Wait for the gearbox to engage the gear (a slight movement can
be felt).
Release the brake and press the accelerator
WARNING!.
Stopping briefly
Apply the foot brake to hold the vehicle when stationary (for
instance at traffic lights).
To prevent the vehicle from rolling away, apply the parking
brake before moving off on steep gradients
WARNING!.
As soon as you accelerate as normal, the parking brake will
automatically be released and the vehicle will start moving.
Parking the car
Press and hold the brake pedal
WARNING!.
Apply the parking brake.
Press and hold the interlock button, move the selector lever
to P and release the interlock button.
The engine can only be started
when the selector lever is at P or N.
On level ground it is sufficient to move the selector lever to P.
On a gradient the parking brake should be applied first and the
selector lever should be moved to P. This reduces the load on the
locking mechanism and makes it easier to move the selector lever
out of position P.
Your vehicle is equipped with the hill
hold assist function which makes it easier to drive away
on a slope. The system is activated when you press and hold the
brake pedal for a few seconds.
When you release the brake pedal the braking force will be maintained
for a moment in order to prevent
the vehicle rolling back when you drive away.
- Do not press the accelerator while selecting a gear with the vehicle stationary and the engine running, as this could cause an accident.
- Please note that some power will still be transmitted when you stop temporarily with the selector lever in position D/S or R. For this reason, to avoid risking an accident, apply the footbrake firmly when stopping to prevent the vehicle rolling away.
- Never move the selector lever to R or P when driving, as this could cause an accident.
