also necessary .
Identifying a rolling code
~Press the button in the control unit that is al
ready programmed again and hold it down.
~ Pay attention to the LED@ ¢ page 33, fig. 28.
If the green LED blinks quickly, the system
(such as a garage door) has a rolling code.
~Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating
the system motor unit
~Locate the programming button on the system
motor unit. The exact location and color
of the
button may vary depending on the system man
ufacture r's brand .
~Press the programming button on the system
motor unit (usually this w
ill act ivate a "display"
on the motor unit). You now have approximate
ly 30 seconds to program th e button in the
contro l panel.
Programming the button in the control
panel
~ Press the previously programmed button in the
control pane l for 2 seconds.
~To complete rolling code programming, press
the button again for 2 seconds.
~On some systems, the button might need to be
pressed a third time to end

the system should recognize
the signal and operate when the button in the
control panel is pressed . Now you may program
the other buttons as needed .
(}) Tips
- The rolling code can be programmed more
quickly and more easily with
the help of a

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
