Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is re-
leased automatically only when the driver's
safety belt is engaged in the buckle.
Hill descent control
The hill descent control system assists the driv-
ing when driving down declines.
Hill descent control is activated when the selec-
tor lever is in the Dor S position and you press
the brake pedal. The transmission automatically
selects a gear that is suitable for the incline. Hill
descent control tries to maintain the speed ach-
ieved at the time of braking, within physical and
technical li mitations. If may sti ll be necessary to
adj ust the speed with the brakes. Because hill de-
scent control cannot shift down farther than 3rd
gear, it may be necessary to shift into tiptronic
mode in very steep areas. In this case, shift into
1st or 2nd gear in tiptron ic mode to use the en-
g ine's braking force to relieve the brakes.
Hill descent control switches off once the decline
levels out or you press the accelerator pedal.
On vehicles with a cruise control system*
r::!;>
page 72, hill descent control is also activated
when the speed is set.
A
WARNING
Hill descent control cannot overcome physical
limitations, so it may not be able to maintain
a constant speed under all conditions. Always
be ready to apply the brakes.
