When accelerating, the transmission wi ll au-
tomatically shift into the next gear before the
engine reaches its maximum RPM.
If you app ly a ligh t throt t le when accelerat-
ing, tiptronic will automatically shift from 1st
to 2nd gear to save fuel. If you apply a heavy
thrott le, the transmission will stay in 1st gear
until near maximum RPM is reached, or unt il
the dr iver shifts into 2nd gear.
If you take your foot off the accelerator pedal
when dr iving down a steep incline, tiptronic
will downshift from the selected gear into the
next lower gear until it reaches 1st gear,
based on road speed and eng ine RPM. Auto-
mat ic downshifting is interrupted as soon as
you apply the thrott le again.
