mission ratio in the continuously variable transmission is changed
cont inuously. This optimizes the comfort level and conserves fuel.
The gear ratio in the transmiss ion is selected (upshift and downsh ift)
completely automatically as a function of the defined dr iving
programs.
If desired, the driver can also select the gears manually (t iptronic
mod e) .
Instead of the torque converter in conventional automatic transmis-
sions, your multitronic ® transmission uses a mu ltidisk clutch for
power t ransmission. Therefore, the "creep behavior" of the vehicle
during idling when temporarily stopped in selector lever position D,
S, or R is less pronounced.
Appli e s t o v ehicle s with a tip t roni c t ra n sm iss ion
Your vehicle is equipped with an electron ically contro ll ed automatic
transmission . Upshifting and downshifting take place automatically.
If desired, the drive r can also shift gears manually (tipt ronic
mod e) . •
