Driving
●
The driver must never leave the vehicle
while the engine is running and with a gear
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.
●
If the power supply is interrupted while the
P parking lock is active, it will not be possible
to move the lever. If this should happen the
manual release can be used. In this case, you
should seek professional assistance.
Note
●
If a gear has been selected, the vehicle
does not move forwards or back. Proceed to
the next mode:
–
If the vehicle does not move in the
desired direction, the gear ratio may not
be correctly engaged by the system. De-
press the brake pedal and reselect the gear
range.
–
If the vehicle still does not move in the
desired direction, there is a system failure.
Seek specialist help and have the system
checked.
Changing gear in Tiptronic mode
Fig.119 Steering wheel: automatic gearbox
levers
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 steering wheel pad-
dles
The gear shift paddles can be used when the
selector lever is in the D/S position.
●
Press the
+
gear shift paddle to change up a
gear ›››Fig.119.
●
Press the
–
gear shift paddle to change
down a gear.
●
To exit the Tiptronic mode, pull the right-
hand gear shirt paddle towards the steering
wheel for approximately 1 second.
To keep Tiptronic mode permanently switched
on, move the selector lever to the S position.
If the selector lever is in position D and the
gear shift paddles are not operated for some
time, the Tiptronic mode will automatically be
switched o.
NOTICE
●
When accelerating, if a higher gear is not
selected, it will automatically change shortly
before reaching the maximum permitted
RPM.
●
Also, if a lower gear is selected, the system
will not change until it detects that the en-
gine will not reach its maximum RPM.
Driving with an automatic gearbox
Shifting to a higher or lower gear is automatic.
The engine can only be started with the lever in
the N position and the P button must be lit up
(the parking lock remains active).
Driving downhill
Under certain circumstances it may be advan-
tageous to use the Tiptronic mode to select
the gear manually according to driving condi-
tions ››› .
