Acceleration assistant
The acceleration assistant permits optimum
acceleration of the car from a standstill to motor
racing standards on high-grip surfaces.
Do not use the acceleration assistant too
frequently, otherwise various compo-
nents could be subjected to premature wear. <
1. Activate Dynamic Driving Control.
2. Deactivate DSC, see page 84 .
3. Fully depress the accelerator pedal quickly:
kick-down. The optimum engine speed for
pulling away is established.
You should reactivate DSC subsequently
to maintain vehicle stability.

Automatic transmission with
Steptronic*
In addition to the fully automatic mode, you can
perform manual gearshifts with the Steptronic,
see page

Displays in the instrument cluster
P R N D DS M1 to M6
The selector lever position is displayed, or the
current gear in the manual mode.
Moving the selector lever
> Do not move the selector lever away from
position P until the engine is running: inter-
lock.
> Before moving the lever away from P or N
with the car stationary, first depress the
brake, otherwise the selector lever will
refuse to move: shiftlock.

vertently moved to the R or P position. To dis-
engage the lock, press the button on the front of
the selector lever, see arrow.
