Driving
●
As a driver you should never leave your ve-
hicle if the engine is running and a gear is
engaged. Switch on the electronic parking
brake and select the parking lock (P).
Note
●
If the lever is moved accidentally to N when
driving, release the accelerator and let the
engine speed drop to idling before selecting
gear range D or S again.
●
Should the power supply to the lever be in-
terrupted in positionP, it will not be possible
to move the lever. If this should happen the
manual release can be used ›››page133.
Note
●
If the selector lever lock does not engage,
there is a fault. The transmission is interrup-
ted to prevent the vehicle from accidentally
moving. To lock the selector lever again,
press the brake pedal, place the selector
lever in the P or N position and then engage a
gear.
●
If a gear has been selected, the vehicle
does not move forwards or back. Proceed to
the next mode:
–
When the vehicle does not move in
the required direction, the system may not
have the gear range correctly engaged.
Press the brake pedal and engage the gear
range again.
–
If the vehicle still does not move in the
required direction, there is a system mal-
function. Seek specialist assistance and
have the system checked.

Tiptronic gives the driver the option to change
gears manually.
When you change to the Tiptronic pro-
gramme, the vehicle remains in the currently
selected gear. This is possible as long as the
system is not changing gear automatically due
to a traic situation.
Using Tiptronic with the selector lever
It is possible to change to Tiptronic mode, both
when the vehicle is stopped and while driving.
●
Starting from the D/S position, move the
lever to the right. The instrument panel will
show whether the lever is in manual or Tip-
tronic mode (e.g. M4).
