When the engine is running and a drive gear - Drive or Sport Drive (D/S) or Reverse (R) - has
been selected, press and hold the brake pedal to keep the vehicle from moving. The vehicle
may creep and move forward or backward even if the engine is idling slowly.
Never shift into Reverse (R) or Park (P) when the vehicle is moving.
NOTE
Even though the transmission is in Park (P), the vehicle may move a couple of inches (a few cen‐
timeters) forwards or backwards if you take your foot off the brake pedal after stopping the vehi‐
cle without first setting the parking brake.
If the selector lever is moved into Neutral (N) by mistake when the vehicle is moving, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal. Wait until the engine speed has dropped to idle speed before mov‐
ing the selector lever into a drive gear.
Leaving the selector lever for a long period of time in any position other than Park (P) when the
ignition is switched off can drain the 12 Volt vehicle battery.
Shifting with Tiptronic
Fig.114Selector lever in Tiptronic position.
Tiptronic lets you upshift and downshift manually with the automatic transmission. When Tiptronic
mode is used, the transmission stays in the current gear and does not upshift or downshift automati‐
cally unless the transmission senses a situation where upshifting or downshifting is necessary to keep
the engine from over- or under-revving.
