Technical Data
Automatic gearbox DSG*Automatic gearbox DSG*IntroductionYour car is equipped with an automatic
gearbox DSG. The abbr
eviation DSG means
Direct shift gearbox (Direct shift gearbox). Two independent clutches are needed for the power transmission between the engine and the gearbox. These replace the torque converter of the conventional automatic gearbox. Their shifting is matched in such a way that there are no jerks when shifting the gear and the power transmission of the engine to the front wheels is not interrupted.Information for driving with the automatic gearbox DSG Shifting up and down through the gears is performed automatically.You can also, however, switch
the gearbox over into the
Tiptronic mode
.
This mode makes it possible for
you to also shift gears manually
⇒
page 134.
Starting-off and Driving – Depress the brake pedal and hold it depressed. – Press the Shiftlock button (button
in handle of the selector lever),
move the selector lever into the desired position, e.g.
D ⇒
page 132,
and then release the Shiftlock button.
– Release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator
⇒
.
Stopping for a short time – The selector lever position
N does not have to be selected when stop-
ping just for a short time, such as at a
cross roads. It is sufficient to hold
the vehicle stationary using the foot
brake. The engine can, however,
be allowed just to idle.
Parking – Depress the brake pedal and hold it depressed. – Apply the handbrake firmly. – Press and Shiftlock button in the
selector lever, move the selector
lever to
P and then release the Shiftlock button.
The engine can only be
started
when the selector lever is in position
P or N
⇒ page 119. At temperatures below -10 °C the engine can only be started in the selector lever position
P.
It is sufficient to engage
selector lever position
P when parking on a flat surface.
When parking on a slope you should first apply the handbrake firmly and then move the selector le
ver into position
P. This is to ensure that there is no excessive
pressure acting on the lock mechanism and
that it is easier to subsequently move
the selector lever out of position
P.
If the selector lever position
N is selected by accident while driving it is first neces-
sary to release pressure on the accelerato
r pedal and wait for idling speed of the
engine to be reached before engaging a drive position in the selector lever.
WARNING
•
Do not depress the accelerator when changing the position of the
selector lever if the car is stationary an
d the engine is running - risk of acci-
dent!•
Never move the selector lever into position R or P when driving - risk of
an accident!

Universal telephone preinstallation GSM III*IntroductionThis enables you to make full use of the
advantages of a norm
al carphone (“hands-
free system” using a microphone integrated in the vehicle, optimal transmission of signals using an external aerial etc.). The equipment includes also the voice control. The telephone is connected using the
rSAP
profile -
Remote SIM access profile
(telecommunication of the SIM data)
by means of Bluetooth
® technology, if your
telephone supports this profile. The equipment includes the following functions:•
Display of the SMS text in the information display.
•
Free talking in the vehicle interior.
•
MUTE signal to the radio.
•
Voice control (with the set-up possibility for “short and long dialogue”,
depending on the user's knowledg
e of the operating structure).
•
Convenience mode with the multifunction
steering wheel and the display in the
information display.•
Handsfree-system.
The voice control of the telephone is acti
vated by pressing the button PTT on the
multifunction st
eering wheel
⇒page 153, fig. 157
.
A phone phonebook is part of the univers
al telephone preinstallation GSM III with
voice control. In the phone phonebook ther
e are 1000 free memory locations avail-
able. This phone phonebook is independent of the appliance used for the mobile phone. Furthermore the volume can be changed indi
vidually at any time with the button
for setting the radio or on vehicles fitted with multifunction steering wheel* with function buttons on
the steering wheel.
Dialogue The period, in which the telephone system is ready to receive voice commands and carry out the voice commands, is called DIALOGUE. The system gives audible feed-back and guides you if necessary through
the relevant functions. You can start or
end the dialogue at any time by pressing the PTT button.
The dialogue is always automatically ended after carrying out an operation, e.g. after erasing the name from the phonebook. The dialogue of the incoming call is im
mediately interrupted and you can accept
the call by pressing the button
.
If a voice command is not detected, the system answers with “
Sorry?
” and a new
entry can be performed. After the 2nd error the system repeats the aid. After the 3rd error the answer “
Cancel
” is given and the dialogue is ended.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on the following factors:•
Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive voice
pauses.•
Avoid insufficient articulation.
•
Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to reduce or stop disturbing
exterior noise.•
It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your
voice is louder than the increased surrounding noise.•
During the dialogue avoid additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. simultaneously
talking occupants.•
Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.
•
The microphone for voice control is in
serted in the moulded headliner and
directed to the driver and front passenger. Therefore the driver and the front passenger can operate the equipment.
WARNING
Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! As the driver you are fully responsible for road safety. Use the tele
phone system only to such an extent,
so that you are in full control of your vehicle at any time.
