WARNING (Continued)
■
If the vehicle stalls, with engine running, in the D, S, R or Tiptronic mode,
then the vehicle must be prevented from rolling away using the brake ped-
al, or using the Auto Hold function. Even when the engine is idling, the pow-
er transmission is never interrupted - the vehicle creeps.

When leaving the vehicle, the selector lever must always be set to P .
Otherwise, the vehicle could start to move - risk of accident.

If you want to move the selector lever from position N to position D / S
whilst driving, the engine must be running at idling speed.

When stopping on a slope, never try to hold the vehicle using the accelerator
pedal – this may lead to gear damage.
