Function Of Manual Drive Mode Selection (Except Code (128a) Steering Wheel Shift Buttons) (As Of 4/24/04): Notes
With the selector lever and the transmission mode switch (S16/5) on the floor shift it is possible to adapt the automatic gearshift sequence t suit specific operating conditions. See Fig 1.
The shift range can in fact be changed in the forward gears while driving, however the electronic transmission control (ETC) prevents a shift at an unacceptably high engine speed.
In position "C" (comfort program) of the transmission mode switch (S16/5) a lower overall ratio and therefore a lower output torque is available when driving backwards and forwards. This allows the vehicle to move off more gently. In addition, the gears are not driven to maximum revs.
