therefore enabling rapid acceleration (e.g. when overtaking) without the accelera-
tor pedal having to be depressed into the kickdown range. The original pro-
gramme will be reactivated to match your particular style of driving once the
gearbox has shifted up again.
When driving in hilly regions, the gears are selected to match uphill and downhill
sections. This avoids the gearbox frequently shifting up and down when negoti-
ating an uphill stretch. When driving downhill, it is possible to shift down into the
Tiptronic position, in order to exploit the engine brake torque.
Emergency programme
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 98.
An emergency programme exists in the event of a fault in the system.
The gearbox operates in a corresponding emergency programme if there are
functional faults in the gearbox electronics. All of the display elements illuminate
or go out.
A functional fault can have the following effect:
›
The gearbox only shifts into certain gears;
›
The reverse gear R cannot be used,
›
The manual shift programme is switched off in emergency mode.
Note
If the gearbox has switched to emergency mode, drive to a specialist garage to
have the fault rectified.
