Getting into gear with Tiptronic mode
The Tiptronic system allows the driver to manually select
gears
Generalities of driving in Tiptronic mode
Changing gear with the gear stick
– Put the lever in position D and push to the right to enter the
Tiptronic gate ⇒ fig. 142.
– Press the gear lever forwards (+) to select a higher gear.
– Press the gear lever back (-) to select a lower gear.
Changing gear with the steering wheel levers
– Push right paddle (+) towards the steering wheel to change up
⇒ fig. 143.
– Push left lever (-) towards the steering wheel to change down
⇒ fig. 143.
Using the levers on the steering wheel, you can access manual driving mode
regardless of the driving mode pre-selected.
Generalities of driving in Tiptronic mode
When accelerating, the automatic gearbox / direct shift gearbox goes into a
higher gear a little before it reaches the maximum permitted revolutions.
If a lower gear is selected, the automatic gearbox / direct shift gearbox does
not change down until the point is reached where the engine could no longer
overrev.
If the Tiptronic is selected whilst the vehicle is in motion and the automatic
gearbox / direct shift gearbox is in 3rd gear in selector lever position D, the
“Tiptronic” will then also be in 3rd gear.
