Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with mult itro nic or tiptro nic
Applies to vehicles with a multitronic ®
transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically
controlled, continuously variable transmis-
sion (mu ltitron ic® ). In contrast to convention-
al automatic transmissions using shifting op-
erations, the transmission ratio in the contin-
uously variable transmission is changed con-
t inuously . This optimizes the comfort level
and conserves fue l.
The gear ratio in the transmission is selected
(upsh ift and downshift) completely automati-
cally as a function of the defined dr iving pro-
grams .
If desired, the driver can also select the gears
manually
(tiptronic mode).
Instead of the torque converter in convention -
al automatic transmissions, your multitronic ®
transmission uses a mul t idisk clutch for pow-
er transm ission . Therefore, the "creep behav-
ior" of the vehicle during idling when tempo-
rar ily stopped in selector lever position D, S,
or R is less pro nounced.
Applies to vehicles with a tiptronic
transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically
controlled automatic transmission. Upshifting
and downshifting take place
automatically.
If desired, the driver can also shift gears
man -
ually
(tiptronic mode).
