You don't descent below 5,000 until passing D16.5 GMM (or 17.4 AGP) then either descend to 4,200 to intercept the GS or stay at 5,000 to intercept the GS. You have this option because there are no step-down fixes between D16.5 and the official GS intercept point at D11.7. If the GS is not available then after D16.5 you descend to 3,400 until D9.9, then follow the LOC-only profile.
