Driving
WARNING
●
Tak
e care not to press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped. The ve-
hicle could start moving immediately (in
some cases even if the parking brake is en-
gaged) resulting in the risk of an accident.
●
Never move the lever to R position when
driving. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in an accident or failure.
●
With lever in any position (except P), the
foot brake must be pushed down whenever
the engine is running. This is because an
automatic gearbox still transmits power
even at idling speed.
●
While you are selecting a gear and the
vehicle is stopped with the engine running,
do not accelerate. Failure to follow this in-
struction could result in an accident.
●
As a driver you should never leave your
vehicle if the engine is running and a gear is
engaged. Switch on the electronic parking
brake and select the parking lock (P).
Note
●
If the le
ver 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.
●
Should the power supply is interrupted
with the P parking block 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 as-
sistance
.
Note
●
If the l
e
ver lock does not engage, there is
a fault. The transmission is interrupted to
prevent the vehicle from accidentally mov-
ing. Follow the procedure below in order for
the lever lock to engage again:
–
With a 6-speed gearbox: press the
brake pedal and release it again.
–
With a 7-speed gearbox: press the
brake pedal. Move the lever to posi-
tion N and subsequently engage a
gear.
●
Despite a gear being engaged, the vehi-
cle does not move forwards or back. Pro-
ceed to the next mode:
–
When the vehicle does not move in the
required direction, the system may not
have the gear range correctly engag-
ed. Press the brake pedal and engage
the gear range again.
–
If the vehicle still does not move in the
required direction, there is a system
malfunction. Seek specialist assistance
and have the system checked.

Tiptronic gives the driver the option to
change gears manually.
When you change t

iptronic 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 traffic situation.
