.
Easytronic is in automatic
mode and first gear is engaged (second
gear if the Winter programme is active).

("
A2" if the Winter programme is active).
The vehicle begins to "creep" when the foot
brake is released.
It is also possible to start off without
depressing the foot brake if the accelerator
pedal is operated directly after movement
of the selector lever. If there is no
immediate acceleration or the foot brake is
not depressed, no gear is engaged and "A"
flashes. After a few seconds, the display
resumes showing "N". Start off by
repeating the previously described
procedure.
In Automatic mode, selection of other
gears is automatic irrespective of driving
conditions.

mode.
Manual gearshifting is possible in manual
mode. "M" and the currently engaged gear
appear in the transmission display.
If the engine speed is too low the Easytronic
will automatically shift to a lower gear even
in Manual mode. This prevents the engine
from stalling.
