Manual drive mode selection, function:

With the electronic selector lever module control unit (N15/5) and automatic transmission transmission mode button (S16/12) it is possible to adapt the automatic sequence of the shift operation to particular operating conditions.

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.

The driver can choose between transmission mode "C", transmission mode "S" and transmission mode M.

In position "C" (comfort program) of the automatic transmission transmission mode button a taller ratio is available in comparison to position "S" (sport program) and thus a lower output torque when driving forwards and 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 automatic transmission transmission mode button all the forward gears can be engaged directly by actuating the steering wheel downshift button (S110/1), with code (428) Steering wheel shift buttons, or steering wheel upshift button (S111/1), with code (428) Steering wheel shift buttons. A shift operation, which would result in an impermissibly high or low engine speeds is not carried out.
