Automatic gearbox/DSG au-
tomatic gearbox*
Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronical-
ly controlled manual gearbox. Torque be-
tween the engine and the gearbox is trans-
mitted via two independent clutches. They
replace the torque converter found on con-
ventional automatic gearboxes and allow for
smooth, uninterrupted acceleration of the ve-
hicle.
The Tiptronic system allows the driver to
change gears manually

– Permanent forward drive position
The lever in the D/S position enables the
gears to be operated in normal mode (D) or
sport mode (S). To select Sport mode S,
move the lever backwards. Pushing the lever
again will select normal mode D. The selec-
ted driving mode is shown on the instrument
panel display.
In normal mode (D), the gearbox selects the
best gear ratio. This depends on the engine
load, the road speed and the dynamic gear
control programme (DCP).
Sport mode (S) should be selected for a
sporty driving style. This setting makes use of
the engine's maximum power output. When
accelerating the gear shifts will be noticea-
ble.
