Automatic transmission
S tronic
Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically-
controlled DSG transmission called S tronic. Two
independent clutches transfer the power be-
tween the engine and transmission . It allows the
vehicle to accelerate without a noticeable inter-
ruption in traction.
The transmission upshifts or downshifts auto-
mat i ca lly. The driving style continuously influen-
ces the selection of the driving program.
When a moderate driving style is used , the
transmission selects the most economical driving
mode. The transm ission upshifts at a lower RPM
and downshifts at a higher RPM to improve fuel
efficiency.
The
transm ission switches to a spo rt y mode after
a kick-down or when the driver u ses a sporty
driving style
characterized by quick accelerator
pedal movements, heavy acceleration, frequent
changes in speed and traveling at the maximum
speed.
If desired, the driver can also select the gears
manually (tiptronic mode).
