order to hold the vehicle and make it easier for
you to drive away.
Driving off with the hold assist
Applies to: vehicles with hold assist
The hold assist helps the driver if the vehicle is
stationary for a long period or very often, for in
stance at traffic lights, on steep gradients or in
stop-and-go traffic.
Important: The driver's door must be closed and
the engine must be running.
.,. To switch the hold assist on/off, press the but
ton(@) @¢page 74, Fig. 78, ¢A .The LED in
the button will light up or go out.
.,. Once it detects that the vehicle has stopped,
the hold assist keeps the vehicle stationary.
You can now take your foot off the brake pedal.
.,. Drive
off in the normal way: the brake will be
released automatically and the vehicle will
start moving.
In certain situations, the hold assist transfers the
job of holding the vehicle to the parking brake.
As soon as the parking brake is holding the vehi
cle still, the warning lamp. appears in the in
strument cluster. In addition, the LED in the C®)
button will light up.
Driver messages in the instrument cluster

[iJ Hold assist: unavailable
If this message appears, the system require
ments have not been met.
A WARNING
Applies to: vehicles with hill hold assist
If you do not drive away immediately after re
leasing the brake pedal, or if the engine
stalls, the vehicle may start to roll back. You
should therefore immediately press the brake
pedal or apply the parking brake.
A WARNING
The intelligent technology in the hold assist*
and hill hold assist functions cannot defy the
laws of physics. Do not let the extra conven
ience afforded by the hold assist* and hill
76 hold
assist functions tempt you into taking
any risks when driving -this can cause acci
dents.
- The hold assist* and hill hold assist func
tions cannot keep the vehicle stationary in
all conditions on a gradient (e.g. if the road
is slippery or icy).
- Always ensure that the vehicle is stopped
properly and safely -risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
Switch off the hold assist* function before
driving the vehicle into a car wash.
� Note
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
When the hold assist* function is switched
on, it stops the vehicle from creeping for
wards when you take your foot off the brake
pedal.
Automatic gearbox
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with automatic 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 pro
gramme. It will then change up early and delay
the downshifts 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).

Electronic stabilisation
control (ESC)
Description
The electronic stabilisation control (ESC) increa
ses the car's stability. It reduces the tendency to
skid and improves the stability and road holding
of the vehicle. The ESC detects critical handling
situations, such as understeer, oversteer and
wheelspin on the driven wheels. It stabilises the
vehicle by braking individual wheels or by reduc
ing the engine torque. The indicator lamp DJ in
the instrument cluster starts flashing as soon as
the ESC intervenes.
The following systems are integrated in the ESC:
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking up under
braking until the vehicle has reached a virtual
standstill. You can continue to steer the vehicle
even when the brakes are on full. Keep your foot
on the brake pedal and do not pump the brakes.
You will feel the brake pedal pulsate while the
anti-lock brake system is working.
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can shorten the braking
distance. The braking force is automatically boos
ted if you press the brake pedal quickly in an
emergency. You must keep pressing the brake
pedal until the danger has passed.
Traction control system (ASR)
In the event of wheelspin, the traction control
system reduces the engine torque to match the
amount of grip available. This helps the car to
start moving, accelerate or climb a gradient.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
When the EDL detects wheelspin, it brakes the
spinning wheel and directs the power to the oth
er driven wheel (or wheels on quattro* versions).
0 This
function is not available at high speeds.
� To
prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
8 from
overheating, the EDL cuts out automatically
"
Vl Intelligent
technology
if subjected to excessive loads. The vehicle can
still be driven. The EDL will switch on again auto
matically when the brake has cooled down.
Steering recommendation
The ESC helps to stabilise the vehicle by changing
the steering wheel torque.
Selective wheel torque control
Selective wheel torque control intervenes when
cornering by braking the wheel(s) on the inside of
the bend individually as required. This enables
precision cornering. The relevant system may not
intervene in the wet or snow.
Multicollision brake assist system
The "multicollision brake assist system" can help
to reduce the risk of skidding and further colli
sions during an accident. If the airbag control
unit detects that a collision has taken place up
wards of a certain speed, the vehicle is braked by
the ESC.
The vehicle will not be braked automatically if:
- the driver presses the accelerator,
- the brake pressure applied by pressing the
brake pedal is higher than the brake pressure
initiated by the system,
- or the ESC, the brake system or the vehicle's
electrical system are not fully functional.
A WARNING
- The grip provided by the ESC and the inte
grated systems is still subject to the physi
cal limits of adhesion. Always bear this in
mind, especially on wet or slippery roads. If
you notice the systems cutting in, you
should reduce your speed immediately to
suit the road and traffic conditions. Do not
let the extra safety provided tempt you into
taking any risks when driving -this can
cause accidents.
- Remember that the accident risk always in
creases if you drive fast, especially in cor
ners or on a wet or slippery road, or if you
follow too close behind the vehicle in front
of you. Please bear in mind that even the

CX) @
For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres will increase the fuel
consumption. -------------
We recommend always using either the tyre
pressure setting (D for partial loads or the
setting @for full loads.
Wheel bolts and rims
Wheel bolts
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn easily.
A special adapter is required to turn the anti
theft wheel bolts* cc> page 2 73.
Rims Rims with a bolted rim flange* or bolted trim
parts* consist of several components. A special
technique is applied to bolt these components
together. Never attempt to repair or dismantle
them c:::>A.
A WARNING
If the wheel bolts have not been tightened or
serviced correctly, they can come loose, and
you could lose control of the vehicle -risk of
accident! For the correct tightening torque,
refer to cc> page 2 75, A�er changing a wheel.
- Make sure that the wheel bolts and threads
in the wheel hubs are always clean and free
from grease.
- Only use wheel bolts that are designed to
match the rims on your car.
- Always have damaged rims repaired by a
qualified workshop. Never attempt to repair
or dismantle rims yourself -risk of accident!
Winter tyres
In winter road conditions winter tyres will consid
erably improve the car's handling. Due to their
type of construction (width, rubber compound,
tread pattern), summer tyres give less grip on ice
and snow.
� Winter tyres must be fitted on all four wheels . Wheels
� Only use winter tyres of the correct type ap
proved for your vehicle.
� Please note that the maximum permissible
speed for winter tyres may be lower than for
summer tyres cc>.&_ . Your specialist retailer can
advise you of the maximum speed for your
tyres.
� After fitting the wheels you must always check
the tyre pressures cc> page 256.
Winter tyres lose their effectiveness when the
tread is worn down to a depth of 4 mm. The per
formance of winter tyres is also severely impaired
by ageing, even if the tread is still much deeper
than 4 mm.
A WARNING
- Never exceed the maximum approved speed
for your tyres. This causes the tyres to over
heat and can even result in a blow-out -risk
of accident!
- Always adapt your driving style to the pre
vailing road and traffic conditions. Drive
carefully and reduce your speed on icy or
slippery roads. Even winter tyres lose their
grip on black ice.
@ For the sake of the environment
Summer tyres should be fitted again as
soon
as possible; they give better handling on
roads which are free of snow and ice. They are
quieter, do not wear so quickly and reduce
fuel consumption.
(© Note
All-weather tyres can also be used instead of
winter tyres. Please note that winter tyres
with the£ symbol are required by law during
the winter season in some countries.
Snow chains
Snow chains will improve braking ability as well
as traction in winter conditions.
� Snow chains can be used on the front wheels
only. This also applies to vehicles with four-
wheel drive*.

8 following the same procedure as described for the first
� mounting
pin. Mobility
� Then unscrew the mounting pin and tighten the
remaining wheel bolt lightly.
� Carefully lower the car with the jack*.
� Tighten the wheel bolts in diagonal sequence
with the box spanner.
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn easily.
Before putting on the wheel, inspect the condi
tion of the wheel and hub mounting surfaces.
These surfaces must be clean before mounting
the wheel.
.&_ WARNING
Do not use the hexagonal socket in the screw
driver handle to tighten the wheel bolts. It is
not possible to tighten the bolts to the re
quired torque using the hexagonal socket -
risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
When removing/ fitting the wheel the rim
may hit and damage the brake disc/ceramic*
brake disc. For this reason, please take care
and get a second person to assist you.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
A directional tread pattern can be identified by
arrows on the sidewall that point in the direction
of rotation. Always note the direction of rotation
indicated when mounting the wheel. This is im
portant so that these tyres can give maximum
grip and avoid excessive noise, tread wear and
aquaplaning.
To benefit from the advantages of tyres with this
type of tread pattern, the defective tyre should
be replaced and refitted as soon as possible so
that all tyres again rotate in the correct direction.
After changing a wheel
