r-T'n First read and observe t h e introductory
L-..kJJ information and safety warnings~ on
page 169.
The gearbox changes th e forwa rd gears up and
down automat ic a lly .
Driving down hills
The steeper the gradi ent, the lower the gear you
will need . Lower gears increase the braking effect
of the engine . Never allow the vehicle to roll down
mountains or hills in the neutral position N.
• Reduce your speed.
• Push the selector lever from posit ion D t o the
r i
ght into the Tiptron ic gate ~page 175.
• Gently push the selector le ver to the rear to
change down gear.
• OR: shift down a gear using the padd les on the
s te
erin g wheel ~page 175 .
Stopping the vehicle and pulling away when
driving uphill
The steeper the incline, the lower the gear you will
need.
If you wish to stop the vehic le or pu ll away when
driv ing uphill you should use the Auto -Ho
ld func­
tion
~page 196.
When you stop the vehicle on an incl ine and the
vehicle remains in gear , the vehicle must always
be prevented fro m rolling by depress ing the brake
pedal or
by applying the electron ic park ing brake .
The brake pedal or the electronic parking brake
should
not be released until you pull away ~CD.
Freewheel driving with dual clutch gearbox
DSG®
In
freewheel mode, the momentum of the vehicle is
used to save fuel with a foresighted driving style.
The engine is declutched and no longer brakes the
vehicle -the vehicle can
roll out over a longer dis­
t a nce.
Switch-on condit io n: the selector lever must be in
positio n D.
Triggering freewheel driving
• Select the Eco driving mode from the Driving
Mode Selection menu ~page 248 .
• Remove foot from accelerator pedal. The en­
gine
w ill be disengaged and run in freewheel
mode. The vehicle rolls without the braking effect
of the eng ine .
Cancelling freewheel mode
• Press the bra e pedal brieny or pull the 1 ft.
hand paddle G towards the stee ring wh 1.
Kick-down
The kickdown function enab~~s ma imum accelera.
tion in the selec tor lever pos1t1ons D and S, or in
th e Tiptron ic posi tio n.
If the acce lerator pedal is d epre ssed fully. the gear.
box will automat ically sh ift to a lower gear, depend­
ing on the speed and engine revs. This will make
use of the full veh icle acceleration ~ Lt.
The gearbox does not shift up to the next gear until
the engine reaches the maximum engine s
peed for
the gear.
When the
Eco driving mode is sel ected in vehicles
with Driving Mode Selection ~page 248 and the
accelerator is depressed
fully beyond the pressure
point, the engine output is automatically regulated
to ensure maximum vehicl e acceleration .
Launch control programme
The launch control programme enables maximum
accelerat ion from a stand ing start .
• Switch off TCS ~page 179.
• Depress and hold the brake pedal with your left
foot.
• Move the selector lever to position S, or into the
Tiptronic position. Alte rnatively , select the Sport
driving mode in vehi cles with Driv ing Mode Selec­
tion ~page 248 .
• With your right foot, depress the accelerator un­
til the engines speed reaches approximately
3,200 rpm.
• Take your left foot off the brake ~ ~. The vehi­
cle will start with maximum acceleration.
• Switch the TCS back on after accelerat ion.
A WARNING
Rapid acceleration can cause loss of traction
and skidding, particularly on slippery roads .
This can cause you to lose control of the ~e­
hicle, which can lead to accidents and sen·
ous injuries.
• Always adjust your driving style in ac·
cordance with the flow of traffic.
• Only use kickdown or fast acceleration if
visibility, weather road and traffic conditions ' t permit, and other road users are not put a
risk due to the acceleration and the driving
style.

A WARNING ~~-~ ,c_. ""]
Incor rec t handling of the wheels and tyres
can lead to a sudden loss of pressure in the
tyres , trea d separation and even tyre blow­out.
• Check tyre pressures regularly and always
keep to the specified tyre pressure value. If
the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre could
warm up to such an extent that the tread may
separate and the tyre could burst
~e monitor indicator lamp
• Always maintain correct cold tyre inflation
pressure as listed on the tyre pressure label
=>page 308 .
• Check tyre inflation pressure regularly
when the tyres are cold. Adjust tyre pressure
in the cold tyre to the recommended tyre
pressure for the tyres installed on your vehi­
cle as necessary.
• Check your tyres regularly for signs of
w ea r or damage.
• Never exceed the top speed and load per­
mitted for the fitted tyres.
