Automatic gearbox
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Modes and use of selector lever 104
Selector lever lock 105
Manual shifting (Tiptronic) 105
Starting-off and driving 106
The automatic transmission performs automatic gear changes.
The modes for the automatic transmission can be adjusted by the driver by
means of the selector lever.
WARNING
Never accelerate when the mode for moving forward is set with the se-
lector lever - there is a risk of accident!
Never move the selector lever to mode R or P when driving – risk of acci-
dent!
If the vehicle is in the mode selected D, S, R or Tiptronic and the engine
stops when at idle speed, then the brake pedal must be pressed. Even
when the engine is idling, the power transmission is never completely in-
terrupted – the vehicle crawls forward.
When leaving the vehicle, the selector lever is always to be put in the P
mode. Otherwise, the vehicle could be set in motion - risk of accident.
CAUTION
If the selector lever is moved to mode N while driving, the accelerator pedal
must be released and you will need to wait until the engine has reached its
idling speed before moving the selector lever to a forward driving mode again.
When the outdoor temperature is below -10 ° C, the selector lever, when
starting, must always be in P mode.
When stopping on a slope, never try to keep the vehicle in position by using
the accelerator pedal – this may lead to gear damage.
Note
After the ignition is switched off, the ignition key can only be withdrawn if the
selector lever is in the position P.
