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.

button is pressed ~page 227. To se t th e dis ta nce
level, press the (1) button .
When the hig hes t lev el is reached, the distance re­
turns to the low est level when th e butt on is press­
ed again.
The distance level can also be set usi ng the Q or
8 buttons on the mult ifun ction stee ring wheel im­
mediately after the (1) button on the mult ifunction
steering whee l ~Fig. 168 has been pressed .
The~ button and the G and (Dnver ass1stance )
function buttons in the infotainment system can be
used to set the dista nce level that should be selec­
ted when the ACC is sw itched on ~page 31 .
Setting the driving programme
In vehicles with Driving Mode Selection , the selec­
t~d driving mode can affect the vehicle 's accelera­
tion response ~page 248.
The following driving modes can be selected :
• Normal
• Sport
• Eco
In v h' . e lcles Without Driving Mode Selection , the ac-
Celeration response can be affected by the driving
rnode s I IT.Dl ~a e ected by pressing the ~ butto.n and _ the
I . nd @nver assistance ) function buttons 1n the 1nfo­a1nrne t n system ~page 31 .
The following conditions can prevent the
adaptive cruise control from reacting:
• If the the acce le rator is depressed.
• If no g ear is selected .
• If the ESC is taking corre ctive action .
• If the driv er h as no t f astened seat belt.
• If there is a fau lt in seve ral brake lights on the
v e hicle or on a traile r with an electrical
connection
to the vehic le .
• If the vehicle is reve rsing .
• If the vehicle is travelling faster than approxi ­
mately 160 km/h (100 mph).
A WARNING
If you close the gap to a vehicle in front and
the difference in speed between the two vehi­
cles is so great that the braking action of the
ACC is insufficient, you are in danger of col­
liding with the vehicle in front. You should re­
duce the vehicle speed immediately with the
foot brake.
• The ACC may not be able to recognise all
driving situations correctly.
• Leaving your foot on the accelerator will
mean that the ACC will not brake automatical­
ly. This is because manual acceleration over­
rides the system.
• You should always be prepared to brake
the vehicle yourself.
• Observe country-specific regulations re­
garding the minimum distance.
rn
The set speed will be deleted if the ig nition or
the ACC is switched off.
rn
The ACC is automatically deactivated when
the tract ion control system (T CS ) is deactiva-
ted .
rn
In vehicles with a start/stop system, the e n ­
g ine is switched off automatical ly during the
stat ionary phase of ACC and is then restarted for
moving off. Driver assist systems 231

Powertrain (engine and gearbox)
The engine and gearbox will give either a more dy­
namic or more balanced response to the move­
ment of the accelerato r, depending on th e selec ted
driving mode . In vehicles with an automatic gear­
box, the gear shift po ints and the coasting mode
will also change . An active cruise contro l sys tem
(CCS) can affec t the acceleration response.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
When the ACC is active, accele ratio n and deceler­
ation of the vehicle becomes more ecological or
sporty.
Dynamic bend lighting and automatic main
beam assist
The dynamic bend lighting and the automatic main
beam assist will give either a more dynamic or
more balanced respo nse to the current driving sit­
uation, depe nding on the selected driving m ode.
