The selector lever always returns to gear position D/S. It is possible to access Tiptronic selection from
gear position D/S when either Drive (D) or Sport drive (S) is active ⇒Shifting with Tiptronic .
Tiptronic mode: In Tiptronic mode, M may appear in the instrument cluster along with the current
Tiptronic gear.
Automatic Shift Lock (ASL)
The Automatic Shift Lock (ASL) in park (P) and neutral (N) prevents drive positions from being en‐
gaged inadvertently, which would cause the vehicle to move.
To release the ASL, depress and hold the brake pedal with the ignition switched on. Press the release
button on the selector lever at the same time (arrow) ⇒Fig.113 .
The ASL is not engaged if the selector lever is moved quickly through neutral (N) (e.g., when shifting
from reverse (R) to drive (D/S)). This makes it possible to rock the vehicle backwards and forwards if
it is stuck in snow or mud. The ASL engages automatically if the brake pedal is not depressed, the se‐
lector lever is in neutral (N) for more than about 1second, and the vehicle is traveling no faster than
about 3mph (5km/h).
WARNING
Moving the selector lever to the wrong position can cause loss of vehicle control, a collision, and
serious personal injury.
Never accelerate when moving the selector lever.
When the engine is running and a drive position is engaged, the vehicle will start to move as
soon as the brake pedal is released.
Never shift into Reverse (R) or Park (P) when the vehicle is moving.
WARNING
Unintended vehicle movement can cause serious personal injury.
Never get out of the driver's seat while the engine is running, especially when the transmission
is in a drive gear. If you must leave your vehicle while the engine is running, always set the
parking brake and shift the transmission to Park (P).
Never leave the vehicle in Neutral (N). It will roll down hills, whether the engine is running or
not.
