Introduction
Applies to vehicles: wit h mult itronic/5 tronic/t iptro nic
The automatic transmission is controlled elec-
tronically. The transmission upshifts or down-
shifts automatically depending on which drive
program is selected .
When a
moderate driving style is used, the
transmission selects the most economical
driving mode. It will then change up early and
delay the downshifts to give better fuel econ-

The transmission switches to a sporty mode
after a kick-down or when the driver uses a
sporty driving style characterized by quick ac-
celerator pedal movements, heavy accelera-
t ion, frequent changes in speed and trave lin g
at the maximum speed.
If desired, the driver can also select the gears
manually (tiptronic mode)

Various automatic transmissions may be in-
stalled, depending on the model:
multitronic ® transmission
The multitronic ® transmission is a continuous -
ly variable transmission. Power is transferred
using a multidisk clutch. In contrast to con-
ventional automatic transmissions using shift-
ing operations, the transmission ratio in the
continuously variable transmiss ion is changed
continuously . This optimizes the comfort level
and conserves fuel.
S tronic ® transmission
The S tronic ® is a dual-clutch transmission .
Power is transferred using two clutches that
work independently from one another_ They
replace the torque converter used in conven-
tiona l automatic transmissions and all ow the ..,_
