Automatic transmission
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Modes and use of selector lever
Selector lever lock
Manual shifting of gears (Tiptronic)
Starting-off and driving
The automatic transmission performs automatic gear changes.
The modes of the automatic transmission can be adjusted by the driver by
means of the selector lever.
WARNING
No throttle when it is set before starting the mode for moving forward
■
with the selector lever - there is a risk of accident!
Never move the selector lever to mode R or P when driving – risk of an
■
accident!
If the vehicle is in the mode selected D, S, R or Tiptronic and the engine
■
stops when at idle speed, then the brake pedal must be pressed. Even
when the engine is idling, the power transmission is never completely in-
terrupted – the vehicle creeps.
When leaving the vehicle, the selector lever is always to put in the P
■
mode. Otherwise the vehicle could then start to move and potentially cause
an accident.
