Warning buzzer
An acoustic signal sounds if the SMG
transmission overheats; if possible you
should either stop or increase your pull-
away speed, so that the system can
cool down.
Sport program
You have a choice of two driving pro-
grams: smoothly dynamic or sport.
When you select the sport program
gearshifts are faster in sequential mode
and the shift points are remapped in
Drive mode.
To select the sport program: press the
SPORT button. The LED in the button
lights up.
Acceleration assistance
Acceleration assistance permits opti-
mum racing-style acceleration when
you pull away from rest on surfaces
with good grip.
Do not use the acceleration
assistant over-frequently, as oth-
erwise components would suffer pre-
mature wear.
