The automatic transmission's shiftlock func-
tion helps prevent inadvertently moving the
gear selector between different positions.
There are two types of shiftlocks: mechanical
and automatic.
Gear selector positions for automatic
transmissions (p. 397)
•
From Park - P
To move the gear selector from P to another
gear, the brake pedal must be depressed and
the ignition in mode II. For vehicles with the
small gear selector, the engine must be run-
ning.
•
Mechanical shiftlock
From Neutral - N
If the gear selector is in N and the vehicle has
been stationary for at least 3 seconds (with or
without the engine running), the gear selector
will be locked in that position.
To move the gear selector from N to another
gear, the brake pedal must be depressed and
the ignition in mode II. For vehicles with the
small gear selector, the engine must be run-
ning.
Shiftlock for vehicles with large gear selectors.
Messages in the instrument panel
If the gear selector is locked in position, a
message will appear in the instrument panel,
e.g. Gear lever Press brake pedal to
activate gear lever.
The gear selector can be moved back and
forth between N and D. The other positions
have a shiftlock that is operated using the lock
button on the gear selector.
Press and hold the shiftlock button and move
the gear selector forward or backward
between P, R, N and D.
There is no mechanical shiftlock function.6

STARTING AND DRIVING
Press a small screwdriver or similar object
into the hole and hold it down.
Deactivating the automatic
shiftlock7
The kickdown function
Kickdown can be used when maximum
acceleration is needed, e.g. when passing.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed all
the way to the floor (past the normal full accel-
erator position), the transmission will auto-
matically engage kickdown, i.e. immediately
shift down to a lower gear.
If the vehicle does not have electrical current,
the automatic shiftlock may be disengaged
on vehicles equipped with the large gear
selector. The shiftlock cannot be disengaged
on vehicles equipped with the small gear
selector.
Move the gear selector to N and release
the button.
4. Replace the rubber mat.
If the accelerator pedal is released from the
kickdown position, the transmission will auto-
matically shift up again.
Safety function
The transmission control module is equipped
with a downshift protection feature to help
prevent the engine from overheating.
In some conditions, the transmission will pre-
vent downshifting/kickdown if this would lead
to such high engine speed (rpm) that the
engine could be damaged. If the driver still
attempts downshifting or kickdown at a high
rpm, nothing will happen and the original gear
will remain selected.

If the vehicle cannot be driven (e.g. due to a
discharged battery), the gear selector must be
moved to the N position so that the vehicle
can be moved.

With kickdown, the vehicle can downshift one
or more steps at a time depending on the
engine speed. The vehicle upshifts when the
engine reaches its maximum rpm to prevent
engine damage.
Lift the rubber mat in the storage com-
partment in front of the gear selector.
Locate the hole with a spring-loaded but-
ton in the bottom of the compartment.

STARTING AND DRIVING
once the vehicle is started, e.g. to Individual
mode. Once Individual mode is selected, you
can adjust settings to personal preferences,
e.g. to show the tachometer.
All Wheel Drive (AWD)*
Drive modes*
All-wheel drive (AWD8), also called four-
wheel drive, means that power is distributed
to all four wheels, which improves traction.
To achieve the best traction, power is auto-
matically directed to the wheels that have the
best grip. The system continuously calculates
the need for torque to the rear wheels, and
can immediately redistribute up to half of the
engine's torque to the rear wheels.
Drive modes affect the vehicle's driving cha-
racteristics in different ways to enhance and
simplify the driving experience in certain
types of situations.
Drive modes enable easy access to the vehi-
cle's many functions and settings in different
driving situations. The following systems are
adapted to help optimize driving characteris-
tics in each drive mode:
Comfort
Comfort is the vehicle's default mode. This
setting offers driving comfort, light steering
and soft suspension.
In Comfort mode, no tachometer will be dis-
played in the instrument panel9.

All-wheel drive also has a stabilizing effect at
higher speeds. In normal driving conditions,
most of the engine's power is directed to the
front wheels. When the vehicle is stationary,
all-wheel drive is always activated in prepara-
tion for maximum traction during acceleration.

and eco-friendly driving with Eco mode.
Pneumatic suspension* and shock absorb-
In this mode, the Start/Stop function is acti-
vated, the ground clearance is lower to reduce
air resistance and certain climate settings are
reduced.
