Gear Selector Switch (gear Lever): Notes

The gear selector switch (selector lever) enables the engagement of the individual drive positions or gears (Steptronic). The selector-lever position is transferred to the transmission by means of a cable. The engaged drive position is shown visually via the shift-indicator illumination.

Vehicles with rocker switches 

In addition to the sequential gear selection by means of the selector lever, the gears can also be shifted at the steering wheel with 2 rocker switches (vehicle-specific).

To upshift, briefly pull one of the two rocker switches.

To downshift, briefly press one of the two rocker switches.
