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.

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.
