Operation  

The selector lever is guided and positioned in the shift gate. The selector lever positions "P', "R", "N" and "D" 
are transmitted mechanically to the transmission by means of the shift rod. In parallel, all selector lever 
positions are transmitted to the ETC control module (N15/3) by means of the transmission range recognition 
switch (S16/10) in the floor shift. If the selector lever is moved across from "D" to "4", the selector lever is 
isolated from the shift rod. Thus there is no longer any mechanical connection with the transmission. See Fig. 
145. The selector lever positions "4", "3", "2" and "1" are then transmitted electronically to the ETC control 
module (N15/3) via the transmission range recognition switch (S16/10). 

Manual Drive Mode Selection, Function (With Touch Shift)

Operation  

With the selector lever on the floor shift it is possible to adapt the automatic gearshift sequence to suit specific 
operating conditions. See Fig. 146. Although the selector lever position can be changed in the forward gears 
while driving, the electronic transmission control (ETC) prevents over-revving of the engine.
