Changing
betvveen
the
selection
gates
is
possible at any time
the lever is in position "D".
A slip
monitor
is
integrated
in
Tiptronic.
The
converter lockup clutch is
opened and
shifted
into
the next higher gear when
a
specified
difference
in
speed between
the froni
and
rear axles is
exceeded.
This improves
direc-
tional control
under slippery conditions.
Never move the selector
lever
into "R"
or
"P"
while the vehicle
is
moving or
coast-
ing to a stop.
Damage
to
the transmission
may
result.
Stopping
When stopping temporarily, at traffic
lights for
example, the selector lever may remain
in the
drive position
and the vehicle may
be stopped
by
simply
applying
the
brakes.
ln
order
to
save wear on the
clutches, and
excessive heai in the
torque converter
and
transmission, move the selector lever into "N"
(neutral)
if
the vehicle is
stopped
for
a
long
time with the engine running. Do noi hold
the
vehicle on a steep uphill gradient by
acceler-
ating, but instead by
applying
the foot or park-
ing
brake.
Parking
When parking your car in a tight space,
regu-
late
the
road speed
by
releasing
the
foot
brake in very small steps. Depress the
accel-
erator pedal slightly!
Hauling
a
trailer
Move selector lever to desired
range.
Shift
down
at
appropriate time
on
uphill
and
downhill gradients in
order
to
have
sufficient
power or
braking effect
from the
engine
and
to
keep
application
of the
brakes
to
a
min-
imum.
The
rear spoiler can be extended manually
for sufficient cooling
of the engine
when
haul-
ing a trailer or driving on mountain roads.
