Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Select selector lever position
Selector lever lock
Manual shifting of gears (Tiptronic)
Starting-off and driving
The automatic transmission performs an automatic gear change irrespective of
the engine load, the operation of the accelerator, the vehicle speed and the
selected driving mode.
The modes of the automatic transmission can be adjusted by the driver by
means of the selector lever.
WARNING
Do not use the throttle if the forwards mode has been set using the se-
■
lector lever prior to starting up - risk of accident!
Never move the selector lever to mode R or P when driving – risk of acci-
■
dent!
If the vehicle stalls, with engine running, in the D, S, R or Tiptronic mode,
■
then the vehicle must be prevented from rolling away by means of the
brake pedal, parking brake or using the Auto Hold function. Even when the
engine is idling, the power transmission is never completely interrupted –
the vehicle creeps.
When leaving the vehicle, the selector lever must always be set to P .
■
Otherwise, the vehicle could start to move - risk of accident.
CAUTION
If you want to move the selector lever from position N to position D / S whilst
driving, the engine must be running at idling speed.
