Danger!
Risk of accident, resulting in serious perso-
nal injury or death due to uncontrolled vehic-
le movement. The Tiptronic selector lever is
blocked during the shifting procedure. Shif-
ting when driving uphill can cause the vehicle
to stand still or even roll backwards, if the
shifting procedure has not yet been comple-
ted. When driving downhill, the vehicle can
accelerate unintentionally while shifting.
f Increased brake readiness is required.

Fully engaging the center differential lock
in Low Range
Tip on driving
When the center differential lock is fully engaged,
there is no longer any speed difference between
the front and rear axles. If, for example, both
wheels at the front axle lose traction on an icy
road or soft surface, the rigidly linked drive wheels
will permit the vehicle to continue moving never-
theless.
f Push rocker switch A forwards in stages until
engagement of the center differential lock is in-
dicated on the multi-purpose display of the in-
strument panel and by the illumination of the
two light-emitting diodes B and C.
The center differential lock is changed over to
fully engaged state by the automatic control
system.
