gearbox default auto/manual

[EmilysDad]

My 05 Roadster's gearbox defaults to Auto when I start up ..... I believe different software will make it default to Manual. My 'new' 08 Fortwo turbo defaults to Manual on start up, needless to say I forgotten more times than not and have only been reminded to change gear halfway down the road with the car crying out for a gear change. Is it possible to make it default to Auto?

Think you can toggle it via Star

Cast in stone and can't be changed. Luckily, my Smart defaults to the last setting.

Thanks.

I'll have to try and remember what car I'm in then :-)

You can definitely toggle it on/off with Star on a 450 Fortwo or Roadster - not sure about the 451 though but I suspect that you can.

Developer mode is no longer what it was.

Right now I can't remember exactly where but I recently added flappy paddle steering wheel to a car for a lady with disabilities who had a car with no auto button on the gearstick so I enabled the auto from start using MB star - worked a treat so it's definitly there - not in developer either.

Perhaps you just need to look a bit harder,Tolsen - just because you haven't found it doesn't mean it's not there ;-)

This has been discussed many times before on numerous forums and nobody has positively confirmed that default for auto/ manual can be set in Star.

Look harder? I do not need. Mine defaults to last setting.

..... Mine defaults to last setting.

That'd be good

Did you buy your MB Star at the Lidl??
