be reactivated to match your particular style of driving once the gearbox has shif-
ted up again.
When driving in hilly regions, the gears are selected to match uphill and downhill

Tiptronic position, in order to exploit the engine brake torque.

It is possible to switch over to manual both when the car is stationary and also
when driving.
When you accelerate, the gearbox shifts up automatically into the higher gear just
before the maximum permissible engine speed is reached.
If you select a lower gear, the automatic gearbox does not shift down until there
is no risk of the engine overrevving.
If you operate the kickdown function, the gearbox shifts into a lower gear in line
with the vehicle speed and engine speed.
