Using the system Safety Driving Tips General Maintenance Breakdown assistance Technical Data
speed of the engine to be reached before engaging a drive position in the
selector lever.
WARNING
• Do not depress the accelerator when changing the position of
the selector lever if the car is stationary and the engine is running
- risk of accident!
• Never move the selector lever into position R or P when driving
- risk of an accident!
• If you are stopping at a hill (downhill section), never try to hold
the car stationary with the gear engaged by means of the “acceler-
ator”, this means by letting the clutch slip. This can lead to over-
heating of the clutch. If there is a risk of overheating of the clutch
due to overload, the clutch is opened automatically and the vehicle
rolls backward - risk of accident!
• If you must stop at a slope, depress and hold the brake pedal,
so that you can prevent the vehicle from rolling back.
Caution
• The double clutch on the automatic gearbox DSG is equipped with an
overload protection. If you make use of the uphill function on a vehicle
which is stationary or driving slowly uphill, it will result in an increase of
thermal stress of the clutches.
• An overheating of the clutches can be detected by the flashing of the
selector level indicator and the “jerk” of the clutches, finally the clutches
are opened. The power transmission from the engine to the front wheels
is interrupted and as a result of this the vehicle can no longer be driven. If
the clutch opens automatically, depress the brake pedal, wait a few
seconds and only then continue driving.
