General information about driving in Tiptronic mode
When accelerating, the automatic gearbox / DSG automatic gearbox goes
into a higher gear a little before the engine reaches its maximum permitted
revolutions.
If a lower gear is selected, the automatic gearbox / DSG automatic gearbox
will only change down when the engine cannot go over its maximum
permitted revolutions.
If the “Tiptronic” is selected suddenly while the vehicle is in motion and the
automatic gearbox / DSG automatic gearbox is in 3rd gear in selector lever
position D, the “Tiptronic” will then also be in 3rd gear.
