The driver selects the next gear up by tapping the shift lever in the direction indicated by the "+" symbol. A downshift by one gear is initiated by tapping the shift lever (1) in the direction indicated by the "-" symbol.

The plausibility of the driver's shift request is tested by the automated manual transmission control module (N15/6). When the gearshift has been executed, the gear currently engaged in the transmission is shown in the display in the instrument cluster (A1).
