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. .,..

The cruise control system (CCS) is able to main-tain an individual set speed at forward speeds be-tween approx. 30 km/h (19 mph) and 180 km/h (112 mph).
The CCS slows the vehicle only by easing off the accelerator, not by actively braking. The CCS can-not maintain a constant speed when travelling downhill. The vehicle speed can Increase under its own weight. Shift down gear and brake the vehicle using the foot brake &.
Additional information and warnings:
• Changing gear 260
• Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts '*page 394
A WARNING
The use of the cruise control system (CCS) can lead to accidents and serious Injuries if traffic does not allow you to drive at a safe distance from the vehicle In front at a con-stant speed.
Indicator lamp
A WARNING (Continued)
• Never use the CCS In heavy traffic, with Insufficient distance from the vehicle ahead, on steep or winding roads, or on slippery road surfaces e.g. on snow, Ice, wet roads, loose chlpplngs or flooded roads.
• Never use the CCS when driving off-road or on unsurfaced roads.
• Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
• Always switch cruise control off after use to avoid unintentional operation.
• it Is dangerous to use a set speed that is too high for the prevailing road, traffic or weather conditions.
• The CCS cannot maintain a constant speed when travelling downhill. The vehicle speed can Increase under its own weight. Shift down a gear or brake the vehicle using the foot brake. ro First read and observe the Introductory information and safety warnings & on page 295.
