DRIVELOGIC Control

The DRIVELOGIC control makes it possible for the driver to adapt the gearshift characteristics of the transmission to his own individual style with each driving mode (A-Mode, S-Mode). The DRIVELOGIC control button is located on the center console just to the rear of the shifter. See Fig 1 . The button provides two inputs to the SMG II control unit. Both inputs are momentary switched grounds, one for program mode up and one for program mode down. DRIVELOGIC control provides selection of 5 programs in the A-Mode and 6 programs in the S-Mode. See Fig 2 . The individual programs differ as follows:

• A-Mode: There are 5 automated gearshift programs from A1 (winter mode, vehicle starts off in 2nd gear) to A5 (sport mode, a highly dynamic program).
• S-Mode: There are 6 different sequential gearshift programs from S1 (slow, relaxed shifts with soft clutch engagement) to S6 (very fast shifts with quick clutch engagement, only accessible with DSC turned off).
