DSG automatic transmission
system can automatically start the engine to
ensure that power is supplied to the electrical
system or to ensure its own start-up.
Mild hybrid electric vehicles (mHEV):
●
The function is only available when the
“Eco” or “Comfort” drive profile is selected,
when the accelerator is not depressed and at
speeds between 7 and 160km/h (between 4
and 99mph).
●
If you apply the brakes and the vehicle slows
to a stop below about 40km/h (about 25mph),
the engine switches o until the vehicle comes
to a stop. The system can automatically start
the engine to ensure that power is supplied to
the electrical system or to ensure its own start-
up.
●
If you press the brake when in inertia mode to
stop above about 40km/h (about 25mph), the
inertia mode will be interrupted and the engine
will start.
●
When stopping without braking, the engine
automatically restarts at minimum speed to al-
low manoeuvring.
Start and cancel inertia mode
Start:
1. Select the “Eco” drive profile.
Or, in mHEVs, select the “Comfort” drive
profile.
2. Take your foot o the accelerator. The en-
gine will disengage and run at idle. The ve-
hicle runs without the engine braking eect.
The engine may switch o in vehicles with a
mHEV system.
Cancelling inertia mode:
1. Press the accelerator.
Alternatively, pull the automatic gear shift
paddle towards the steering wheel.
WARNING
●
If the inertia mode has been switched on,
take into account, when approaching an ob-
stacle, that the vehicle will not decelerate in
the usual manner: Accident risk!
●
When using inertia mode while travelling
down hills, the vehicle can increase speed:
Accident risk!
●
If other users drive your vehicle, warn them
about inertia mode.
NOTICE
The operation of the inertia mode in combi-
nation with hybrid engines (mHEV and PHEV)
can cause the combustion engine to switch
o.
NOTICE
The inertia mode will be automatically dis-
connected on gradients steeper than 15%.
Troubleshooting
The engine does not start
The indicator lamp lights up green.
The brake is not depressed, e.g. when trying to
change the gear selector lever.
●
To select a gear range, press the brake
pedal.
Indications on the instrument cluster display:
Clutch
Clutch overheated Please stop!
●
The clutch has overheated and could be
damaged. Stop and wait for the gearbox to
cool with the engine idling and press the P
parking lock button. When the warning lamp
and the driver message turn o, go to a speci-
alised workshop to get the fault repaired. If they
do not turn o, do not continue driving. Seek
specialist assistance.
