Using the selector lever and the transmission mode switch (S16/5) it is possible to adapt the automatic sequence of the shift to particular operating conditions.

In the forward gears the shift range can in fact be changed 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.
