and the lever is in position N for more than
about one second at a speed of less than 5
km/h (3 mph).
WARNING
●
Take care not to press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped. The vehi-
cle could start moving immediately (in some
cases even if the parking brake is engaged)
resulting in the risk of an accident.
●
Never move the lever to R or P when driving.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in an accident or failure.
●
With the lever in any position (except P),
the foot brake must be pushed down when-
ever the engine is running. This is because an
automatic gearbox still transmits power even
at idling speed.
●
While you are selecting a gear and the ve-
hicle is stopped with the engine running, do
not accelerate. Failure to follow this instruc-
tion could result in an accident.
●
As a driver you should never leave your ve-
hicle if the engine is running and a gear is
engaged. Switch on the electronic parking
brake and select the parking lock (P).

Driving
Note
● If the lever is moved accidentally to N when
driving, release the accelerator and let the
engine speed drop to idling before selecting
gear range D or S again.
● Should the power supply to the lever be in-
terrupted in position P, it will not be possible
to move the lever. If this should happen the

manual release can be used
Note
● If the lever lock does not engage, there is a
fault. The transmission is interrupted to pre-
vent the vehicle from accidentally moving.
Follow the procedure below in order for the
lever lock to engage again:
– With a 6-speed gearbox: press the brake
pedal and release it again.
– With a 7-speed gearbox: press the brake
pedal. Move the lever to position P or N and
subsequently engage a gear.
● If a gear has been selected, the vehicle
does not move forwards or back. Proceed to
the next mode:
– When the vehicle does not move in
the required direction, the system may not
have the gear range correctly engaged.
Press the brake pedal and engage the gear
range again.
– If the vehicle still does not move in the re-
quired direction, there is a system malfunc-
tion. Seek specialist assistance and have
the system checked.

Tiptronic gives the driver the option to change
gears manually.
When you change to the Tiptronic programme,
the vehicle remains in the currently selected
gear. This is possible as long as the system is
not changing gear automatically due to a traf-
fic situation.
Using Tiptronic with the selector lever
It is possible to change to Tiptronic mode, both
when the vehicle is stopped and while driving.
