With the selector lever and the transmission mode switch (S16/5) on the floor shift it is possible to adapt the automatic gearshift sequence to suit specific operating conditions.

In the forward gears, the shift range can be altered while driving, however the fully integrated transmission control (VGS) prevents gearshift operations which would result in impermissibly high engine speeds.

In position "C" (convenience program) of the transmission mode switch (S16/5), the overall ratio is longer than in position "S" (sports program) and the output torque available for driving off in forward or reverse direction is thus lower. This allows the vehicle to move off more gently. In addition, the gears are not driven to maximum revs.
