Pedals
●
Make sure that you can always press the ped-
als without any problems.
●
Ensure that the pedals can return unimpaired
to their initial positions.
●
Ensure that the oor mats are securely fas-
tened during the trip and do not obstruct the
pedals ››› .
Only use oor mats which leave the pedals
clear and which are secured to prevent them
from slipping. You can obtain suitable oor
mats from a specialised dealership. Fasteners
for oor mats are tted in the footwells.
Wear suitable footwear
Always wear shoes which support your feet
properly and give you a good feeling for the
pedals.
WARNING
●
Restricting pedal operation can lead to
critical situations while driving.
●
Never lay or t oor mats or other oor
coverings over the original oor mats. This
would reduce the pedal area and could ob-
struct the pedals. Risk of accident.
●
Never place objects in the driver footwell.
An object could move into the pedal area and
impair pedal operation.
Selecting the optimal gear
Depending on the equipment on the instru-
ment panel screen, a recommendation is
shown with the gear that should be engaged

On vehicles with automatic transmission, it is
only displayed when driving in Tiptronic mode
›››page178.
No recommendation will appear if the optimal
gear is engaged. The current gear will be dis-
played.

Information regarding the “cleanliness” of
the particulate lter
When the exhaust system detects that the par-
ticulate lter is close to saturation, this system’s
self-cleaning function recommends the opti-
mal gear for that function ›››page334.
WARNING
The gear change recommendation is an aux-
iliary function and in no case should be a
substitute for careful driving.
●
Responsibility for selecting the correct
gear, depending on the circumstances, rests
solely with the driver.
For the sake of the environment
Selecting the correct gear can help to save
fuel.
Note
The recommended gear display turns o
when you are no longer in tiptronic mode.
Economical and environmentally
friendly driving
Fuel consumption, environmental pollution
and wear to the engine, brakes and tyres all de-
pend largely on driving style. Consumption can
be reduced between 10-15% with an eicient
