tom LED blinks red when the fuel level is very
low.
The
fuel tank capacity of your vehicle is listed in
the Technical Data section¢ page 299.

Never drive until the tank is completely emp
ty.
The irregular suppl y of fuel that results
from that can cause engine misfi res. Uncom
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys
tem. Th is can cause overheating and damage
to the catalytic converter.

General information
New engine
The engine needs to be run-in during the first
1,000 mi (1,500 km).
For the first 600 mi (1,000 km):
... Do not use full throttle.
... Do not drive at engine speeds that are more
than 2/3 of the maximum permitted RPM.
... Avoid high engine speeds.
From 600 to 1,000 mi (1 ,000 to 1,500 km):
... Speeds can gradually be increased to the maxi
mum permissible road or engine speed.
During and after break-in period
... Do not rev th e engine u p to high speeds when it
is cold. This
applies whether the transmission is
in N
(Neutral) or in gear.
After the break-in period
... Do not exceed maximum engine speed under
any cir cu
mstances .
... Upshift into th e nex t higher gear before reach
ing th e red
area at th e end of the tachometer
sea le r=:> page 8 .
During the firs t few hours of drivi ng, the engine's
interna l fric tion is higher than later when a ll th e
moving parts have been broken in . How well this
break-in process is done depends to a considera
ble extent on the way the vehicle is driven during
the first 1,000 mi (1,500 km).
@Note
Extremely high engine speeds are automati
cally reduced. However, these rpm limits are
programmed for an engine well r un -in, not a
new engine.
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not drive with unnecessarily high engine
speeds -upshi fting early saves fuel, reduces
noise and protects the environment.

·New tires
If your veh icle is runni ng on new tires, d rive par
t icula rly careful for the first 350 m i (500 km) af
ter fitting.
.&. WARNING
-New tires tend to be slippery and must a lso
be "broken-in". Be sure to remember this dur
ing the first 350 m i (500 km). Brake gently .
Avoid following closely behind other vehicles
or other situations that might req uire sudden,
hard braking.
Avoid damaging the vehicle
When you are driv ing on poor roads, or over
cu r
bs, steep ramps, etc., make certain that l ow
l y i
ng parts such as sp oile rs and exhaust system
parts do not bottom out and get damaged.
This is especially true for veh icles with low-s lu ng
c h
assis (sports chassis) * and fully loaded
vehicles .
Driving through water on roads
Note th e following to avo id vehicl e damage when
driv ing thro ugh water, for example on flooded
roads:
- The wat
er must not be any higher than the bot
t
om of the vehicle body.
-
Do not dri ve faster than walking speed.
_&. WARNING
Af te r driving through water or mu d, the brak
ing e
ffect can be reduced due to moisture on
the brake d iscs and brake pads. A few careful
b rake applications should dry off the bra kes.
@Note
Vehicle components such as the engi ne,
transmission, su s pension o r electrica l system
can be severely damaged by driving through
water. ..,.

Automatic transmission
S tronic
Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically
controlled DSG transmission called S tronic. Two
independent clutches transfer the power be
tween the engine and transmission. It allows the
vehicle to accelerate without a noticeable inter
ruption in traction.
The transmission upshifts or downshifts auto
matically. The driving style continuously influen
ces the selection of the driving program.
When a moderate driving style is used, the
transmission selects the most economical driving
mode. The transmission upshifts at a lower RPM
and downshifts at a higher RPM to improve fuel
efficiency.
The
transmi ssion switches to a sporty mode after
a kick-down or when the driver uses a sporty
driving style
characterized by quick accelerator
pedal movements, heavy acceleration, frequent
changes in speed and traveling at the maximum
speed.
If desired, the driver can also select the gears
manually (tiptronic mode).
Selector lever positions

DIS -Normal position for driving forward
In the D/S selector lever position, the transmis
sion can be operated either in the normal D mode
or in the S sport mode. To select the S sport
mode, pull the selector lever back briefly. Pulling
the lever back again will select the normal D
mode. The selected driving mode is shown in the
Infotainment display.
In
the normal mode D, the transmission auto
matically selects the suitable gear ratio. It de
pends on engine load, vehicle speed and driving
style.
Select the sport mode S for sporty driving. The
vehicle
makes full use of the engine's power.
Sh i
