• If you have to bring your vehi cle to a stop while on an incline ,
keep the foot bra ke depressed all the way down so that the vehicle
does not start to roll backward . You should never hold the vehicle
using the clutch pedal if you are going to be stopped on an incline.
If you do, the clutch will start to slip when it overheats caused by
the constant overload. This is dangerous because if the vehicle starts to roll backward , you could cause an accident. If the clutch
should start to slip , you will feel the vehicle "jerk" and the selector
lever display will start blinking .
• Before driving down a steep slope , reduce your speed and shift
into a lower gear w ith utiptroni c".
• Do not ride the brakes or apply the brake pedal too often or too
long . Constant braking causes the brakes to overheat and
substantially reduces braking performance , increases braking
distance or causes complete failure of the brake system . •

Kick -dovvn feature
The kick-down feature allows maximum acceleration.
If you depress the accelerator pedal fully beyond the full-throttle
position, the transmission automatically downshifts one gear,
depending on vehicle speed and engine rpm. The upshift into the
next higher gear takes place as soon as the maximum specified
engine speed is reached.
& WARNING
Please note that the drive wheels can spin if the kick-down is used
on a smooth slippery road -risk of skidding! •
Applies to vehicles : withs t ro ni c®
Launch Control Program
The Launch Control Program permits maximum accelera­
tion .
In order to use Launch Control, the ASR (Anti-Slip Regula­
tion) must be disabled. When ASR is disabled, the ESP
warning/indicator light 9 in the instrument cluster illumi­
nates . So that Launch Control can be used, the engine must
be at operating temperature and the steering wheel must
not be turned .
- With the engine running, briefly press the ESP button.
The message "ASR off" appears in the instrument cluster
d isplay.
- Shift the gear lever to "S" or the tiptronic® position.
- Step on the brake pedal with your left foot and keep the
brake pedal fully depressed for at least one second.
Controls and equip ­
ment
- With your right foot, step on the accelerator to the wide­
open throttle position or Kickdown. The engine speed
settles at about 3,200 rpm.
- Take your left foot off the brake.
The S tronic® in your vehicle is electronically controlled. A special
Launch Control Program provides the best acceleration from a
standing start .
& WARNING
• Always adapt your driving to the traffic flow.
• Only use Launch Control when road and traffic conditions allow
it and other drivers will not be endangered or annoyed by your
driving and the acceleration of the vehicle.
• Make sure that ESP remains enabled. With the ESP disabled,
the vehicle could brake away, particularly on a slick and slippery road -risk of skidding!
• Once acceleration is finished, switch ASR on again by briefly
pushing the ESP button. •

Back-up program
In the event of a system malfunction, there is an back-up
program.
In the event of system malfunctions, the automatic transmission
switches to the fail- safe mode. This is signalled by one segment or
all the segments in the display illuminating or going out .
Th e effect of a system malfunction can be one of the following:
• The program shifts only into certain gears.
• Reverse gear can no longer be engaged.
