S tronic transmission
· Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic®
Your vehicle is equipped with a S tronic trans-
mission, also called a double-clutch system/
transmission .
Power is transferred between the engine and
the transmission by means of two independ-
ent clutches. They replace the torque convert-
er of conventiona l automatic transmissions
and allow the vehicle to accelerate without a
not iceable break in the power flow.
With the aid of
tiptronic, the gears can op-
t ionally be shifted
manually ~ page 100.
