Dual clutch gearbox DSG®
r-('n First read and observe the Introductory L-.lo:on Information and safety warnings & on page 260.
Description
The DSG® dual clutch gearbox is a gearbox which uses dual-clutch technology to change gear automatically. it uses a dual clutch and two independent gearboxes to enable very fast gear changes with no loss of torque. The DSG® dual clutch gearbox thus combines the performance and economy of a manual gearbox with the com-fort and convenience of a conventional automatic transmission.
How the system works
Engine power is transferred to the drive shafts via the gearbox. In order to change gears, the power transmission between the engine and the gearbox has to be interrupted. This is what the clutch is for.
With the DSG® dual clutch system with its two complementary gearboxes, one gearbox is always connected under load to the engine. When one gear is engaged, another gear is always preselec-
led in the other gearbox. The clutch on the non-driven gear is closed and the other is opened at the same time. This is what makes very fast gear changes possible.
The DSG® dual clutch gearbox is designed to be more efficient than an automatic gearbox. In an au-tomatic gearbox, the torque converter is constantly in use, whereas in the DSG® dual clutch system the idle clutch can be opened, thus saving fuel. With its efficiency, low weight and intelligent control system, the DSG® dual clutch system usually ena-bles fuel consumption equal to or lower than a manual gearbox.
like the manual gearbox, the clutch in the DSG dual clutch system is subject to wear. Regular maintenance is necessary, varying accord-ing to what type of DSG® dual clutch system is in-stalled. For more information see the service schedule. In the DSG® dual clutch system, if one gearbox malfunctions it is deactivated and the oth-er gearbox functions alone *page 267. If this happens, have the system checked as soon as possible by a qualified workshop. DSG® dual clutch gearbox: selecting a gear

264 I While driving
r-('n First read and observe the Introductory L-.lo:on Information and safety warnings & on page 260.
The selector lever is equipped with a selector lever lock. When changing the selector lever position from P to a driving gear, depress the brake pedal and push the lock button in the selector lever in the direction of the arrow *Fig. 221. To move the se-lector lever out of position N to position D or R, first depress and hold the brake pedal.
The current selector lever position or the selected gear will be shown in the instrument duster display if the ignition is switched on. .,..

A WARNING (Continued)
• Never leave the vehicle in driving mode N. The vehicle will roll downhill irrespective of whether or not the engine is running.
CD
If the handbrake is not applied when the vehi-cle Is stationary and the brake pedal is released when then selector lever Is In position P, the vehicle may move a few centimetres forwards or backwards.
Changing gear with Tiptronic
Fig. 222 Selector lever in Tiptronic position (left-hand drive). The controls are mirrored for right-hand drive vehicles.
r--T'n First read and observe the introductory L-lc:J.I Information and safety warnings & on page 260.
With a DSG® dual clutch gearbox, Tip-
Ironic allows the gears to be shifted up
and down manually.
m If the lever is moved accidentally to N when l!J driving, take your foot off the accelerator. Wait for the engine revs in the neutral position be-fore selecting a position again.
m If the selector lever is left in any position oth-L!J er than P for long periods when the engine is switched off, the vehicle battery discharges. The gear that is currently selected will be main-tained when the Tiptronic programme is selected. This remains the case until the system does not perform a gear change due to the current driving situation.
Operating Tiptronic with the selector lever
• Push the selector lever from position D to the right into the Tiptronic gate & in osG® dual clutch gearbox: selecting a gear on page 265.
• Gently push the selector lever forwards G or back 8 to shift gear up or down 222.
CD
• When accelerating, the gearbox automati-cally shifts up to the next gear shortly before the maximum permitted engine speed Is reached.
• When shifting down a gear manually, the gearbox will not change gear until the engine can no longer be overrevved. Driving with dual clutch gearbox DSG®

The gearbox changes the forward gears up and down automatically.

Driving down hills
The steeper the gradient, 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. ,..
