Manual Program Selection, Function (722.6 In Model 209.376 Up To 05/31/03, 211.076, 230.474 Up To 08/31/03

S16/5 Using the selector lever and transmission mode switch (<>) of the floor shift it is possible to adapt the automatic gearshift sequence to suit specific operating conditions. See Figure.

In the forward gears the shift range can, in fact, be change while driving, but the electronic transmission control (ETC) prevents a shift at an unacceptably high engine speed.

In the "W" (winter program) position of the transmission mode switch (S16/5) a lower overall ratio and, as a result, a lower output moment is available when starting off forwards and when reversing. This allows the vehicle to move off more gently. In addition, the gears are not driven to maximum revs.

In position "M" (manual program) of the transmission mode switch (S16/5) all forward gears can be shifted directly by means of selector lever (touch shifts to "+" or "-") or by operating the steering wheel gear shifter MINUS (S110/1) or steering wheel gear shifter PLUS (S111/1).

Shift operations at unacceptably high or low speed are not carried out.
