Rev counter
The rev counter indicates the number of engine
revolutions per minute.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the
maximum engine speed which may be used brief
ly in all gears when the engine is warm and after
it has been run in properly. However, it is advisa
ble to change up a gear or move the selector lev
er to D/S (or lift your foot off the accelerator) be
fore the needle reaches the red zone.
CD CAUTION
The rev counter needle must only ever briefly
go into the red zone on the scale; otherwise
there is a risk of engine damage. The start of
the red zone on the dial is different for some
engine versions.
@ For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to save
fuel and minimise engine noise.

gearbox
Automatic gearbox
S tronic
Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
The vehicle is equipped with an electronically
controlled dual-clutch gearbox (S tronic). Torque
between the engine and the gearbox is transmit
ted via two independent clutches. They enable
smooth, uninterrupted acceleration of the vehi
cle.
The gearbox shifts up or down automatically and
continuously adapts the timing of the gear
changes to your driving style.
When you drive at moderate speeds the gearbox
will select the most economical shift programme.
It will then change up early and delay the down
shifts to give better fuel economy.
If you drive at higher speeds with heavy accelera
tion, if you open the throttle quickly, or if you use
the kick-down or the car's maximum speed, the
gearbox will automatically select the more "spor
ty" shift programmes.
If desired, you can also select the gears manually
(tiptronic mode).
Selector lever positions
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
Fig. 76 Instrument cluster: Selector lever positions
The current selector lever position and the cur
rent gear are shown in the infotainment display.
P - Parking lock
When the selector lever is in this position, the
driven wheels are locked mechanically. The park-
70 ing
lock must only be engaged when the vehicle
is stationary ¢.&. .
The interlock button (the button in the selector
lever handle) must be pressed in and the brake
pedal must be depressed before moving these
lector lever either in or out of position P.
R - Reverse gear
Reverse gear must only be engaged when the ve
hicle is stationary and the engine is idling ¢.&..
To move the selector lever to position R, press in
the interlock button and at the same time press
the brake pedal. The reversing light comes on
when the selector lever is in the R position with
the ignition on.
N - Neutral
In this position, the gearbox is in neutral.
DIS -Drive/Sport (standard position for
driving forwards)
In selector lever position D/S, the gearbox can be
operated in either the standard drive mode (D) or
in sport mode (S). To select sport mode (S), brief
ly pull the selector lever back. The gearbox will
switch back to drive mode (D) if you pull these
lector lever again. The selected driving mode is
shown on the infotainment display.
In the standard drive mode (D), the gearbox au
tomatically selects the best gear ratio. This de
pends on the engine load, the road speed and the
driving style.
Select sport mode (S) if you wish to take full ad
vantage of the car's performance. This setting
makes use of the engine's maximum power out
put. When accelerating the gear shifts may be
noticeable.
Press the brake pedal when moving the selector
lever from N to D/S if the vehicle is stationary or
at speeds below 2 km/h ¢ .&..

Gear selection with selector lever
The tiptronic mode can be selected either with
the vehicle stationary or on the move.
,.. From
position D/S, push the selector lever to
the right into the tiptronic selector gate to acti
vate tiptronic mode. As soon as the automatic
gearbox has activated this mode, the letter M
will appear on the infotainment display

,.. To shift down a gear, briefly pull the paddle lev-

If you use the paddle levers when the selector
lever is in positions D/S, the gearbox will remain
in manual mode for a while. To switch back im
mediately to automatic mode after changing
gears manually, pull the paddle lever 0
¢ Fig. 80 for approximately 1 second.
If you want to use the paddle levers permanently,
push the selector lever from position D/S to the
right into the tiptronic selector gate.
The gearbox automatically shifts up or down into
the next gear before a critical engine speed is
reached.
The gearbox only allows manual gear changes if
the engine speed would remain within the per
missible range.
Kick-down feature
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
The kick-down feature is designed to give maxi
mum acceleration.
When the accelerator pedal is pressed right down
past the point of resistance at full throttle, the
gearbox will shift down to a lower gear, depend
ing on road speed and engine speed. The upshift
to the next higher gear is delayed until the en
gine reaches maximum rpm.
A WARNING
Please note that if the road surface is slippery
or wet, the kick-down feature could cause the
driving wheels to spin, which could result in
skidding.
Coasting mode
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
In coasting mode, you can use the vehicle's kinet
ic energy to drive without using the accelerator
on certain stretches of road. This saves fuel by al
lowing you to take your foot off the accelerator
earlier and let the vehicle coast (for instance

.... As
the system is designed for driving on motor
ways and other major roads, it is only active
above a speed of about 65 km/h (may vary in dif
ferent export markets).
Applies to vehicles with side assist*: If you oper
ate the turn signals while the active lane assist
and side assist are active, the steering will be cor
rected just before you cross the lane demarcation
if the side assist detects vehicles approaching
quickly or travelling at about the same speed as
your own vehicle and judges the situation to be
critical. This intervention is intended to keep the
vehicle in the lane.
Applies to vehicles without side assist*: The sys
tem does not warn you if you operate the turn
signal before crossing a lane demarcation. In this
case, it assumes that you intend to change lanes.
_&. WARNING
- The system initiates a corrective steering in
put to warn the driver that the vehicle is
about to leave the lane. As the driver you are
always responsible for staying in your own
lane.
- The system can assist you to keep the vehi
cle in the lane, however it is not capable of
driving on its own. Never take your hands off
the steering wheel.
- In certain situations, e.g. during heavy brak
ing, the system may not correct the steer
ing.
- In certain circumstances, not all of the lane
markings may be detected by the camera. A
corrective steering input can only be initi
ated if the system detects a lane marking on
the side in question.
- Variations in the road surface or objects on
the road may be misinterpreted as lane
markings. In this case, the steering may be
corrected unexpectedly or not at all.
- The camera's view might be obstructed, for
example by vehicles travelling in front, rain,
snow, a lot of water on the road, adverse
light or dirt on the windscreen. If this hap-
l l

pens, the active lane assist may not detect
the lane markings or may respond incorrect
ly.
- In certain circumstances, for instance if visi
bility is poor, the setting for the steering in
put may be switched from "early" to "late"
1)
- In certain driving conditions, such as ruts in
the road surface, adverse cambers or side
winds, the assistance provided by the steer
ing correction may be insufficient to keep
the vehicle in the middle of the lane.
- For safety reasons, the active lane assist
must not be used in poor weather or in diffi
cult or slippery road conditions (such as ice,
fog, loose grit or gravel, heavy rain, snow,
etc.) -risk of accident!
