Automatic transmission
Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically­
controlled DSG transmiss ion called S tronic. Two
independent clutches transfer the power be­
tween the engine and transmission . It allows the
vehicle to accelerate without a noticeab le inter­
ruption in traction.
The transmission upshifts or downsh ifts auto­
mat ica lly. The driving style continuously influen­
ces the selection of the driving program.
When a
mod erat e d rivin g sty le is used, the
transmission selects the most economical d riving
mode. The transmiss ion upsh ifts at a lower RPM
and downshifts at a higher RPM to improve fuel
efficiency.
The transm ission switches to a spo rty mode after
a kick-down or when the driver uses a
s po rt y
d riv ing sty le
characterized by quick accelerator
pedal movements, heavy acce leration, frequent
changes in speed and traveling at the maximum
speed.
If desired, the driver can also select the gears
manually ( tipt roni c mod e).

D IS -Norm al position fo r driving forward
In the D/S se lector lever position, the transmis­
s ion 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 leve r back aga in will selec t the normal D
mode. The selected d riving mode is shown in the
Infotainment display.
In the
n ormal mode "D", the transm ission auto­
matically selects the suitable gear ratio.
It de­
pends on engine load, vehicle speed and driving
sty le.
Select the
s p o rt mod e "S" for sporty driving . The
vehicle makes full use of the eng ine 's powe r.
Shifting may become noticeable whe n accelerat­
i ng.
To move from selector lever pos ition
"N" to "D",
you m ust press the brake peda l and the vehicle
must be traveling less than 1 mph (2 km/h) or be
stationary¢ &.
A WARNING
Read and fo llow all WARNI NGS .
- The vehicle can roll even if the ignit ion is
switched off .
- Never se lect R or P whi le driving, because
this increases the risk of an accident .
- Power is still transmitted to the wheels
when the engine is runn ing at idle. To pre­
vent the vehicle from "creeping", yo u must
63

Driving
keep your foot on the brake in all selector
lever positions (except P) when the engine is
running. Otherwise, this increases the risk
of an accident.
- Do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped if a gear is
engaged. Otherwise the vehicle will start to
move immediately, even if the parking brake
is set . This could result in a crash.
- Do not press the accelerator pedal when changing the selector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
running.
- Never leave your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear.
If you must leave
your vehicle when the engine is running, set
the parking brake and move the selector lev­
er to the "P" position.
- To decrease the risk of an accident, these­
lector lever must be in the P position and
the parking brake must be set before open­
ing the hood and working on a running en­
gine. Always read and follow the applicable
warnings¢ page 233, Working in the en­
gine compartment .
(D Note
Never let the vehicle roll downhill with engine
off and the selector lever in the "N" position,
because this could damage the automatic
transmission and catalytic converter .
{D) Tips
- Drive select: sporty shifting characteristics
can be selected using the
Dynamic driving
mode . The Infotainment display shows Sas
the selector lever position instead of D.
- If you accidentally select "N" while driving,
take your foot off the accelerator pedal im­
mediately and wait for the engine to slow
down to idle before selecting "D" or "S".
- If there is a power failure, the selector lever
will not move out of the "P" position. The
emergency release can be used if this hap­
pens. Left-hand drive

.., Press the brake pedal while pressing the inter-
lock button.
Automatic shift lock (ASL)
The selector lever is locked in the "P" and "N" po­
sitions when the ignition is switched on. You
must press the brake pedal to select another po­
sition. You must also press the interlock button if
you are moving from the "P" position. The follow­
ing message appears in the display when these­
lector lever is in the "P" or
"N" position to remind
the driver:
To select a gear, please press brake pedal and press lock button on selector lever
The automatic shift lock only functions when the
vehicle is stationary or at speeds below 1 mph
(2 km/h). At higher speeds, the lock is automati­
cally deactivated in the "N" position.
The selector lever is not locked when shifting
quickly through "N", for example from "R" to "D".
This makes it possible to free the vehicle when it
is stuck by "rocking" it. The selector lever lock en­
gages if the lever stays in the "N" position longer
than approximately two seconds when the brake
pedal is not pressed.

Hill descent control
The hill descent control system assists the driver
when driving down hills .
Hill descent control is activated when the selec­
tor lever is in the "D" or "S" position and you press the brake pedal. The transm iss ion auto ­
mat ically selects a gear that is suitable for the
h ill. Hill descent con trol tries to maintain the
speed ach ieved at the t ime of b raking, w ith in
phys ica l and technical limi tatio ns. If may still be
necessa ry to adjust the speed with the brakes .
Because hill descent contro l cannot sh ift down
farther than 3rd gear, it may be necessary to
shift into tiptronic mode in very steep areas. In
this case, shift manually into 1st or 2nd gear in
tiptron ic mode to use the engine 's braking force
to relieve the brakes .
Hill descent control switches off once the hill lev ­
els out or you press the accelerator pedal.
On vehicles with a cruise contro l system*
¢ page 71, hill descent control is also activated
when the speed is set .
A WARNING
Hill descent control cannot overcome physical
limitations , so it may not be able to maintain
a constant speed under all condit ions . Always
be ready to apply the brakes .
Shifting manually (tiptronic mode)
The tiptronic mode allows the driver to shift the
gears manually .

Description
App lies to: vehicles with speed warning system
The speed warning system helps you to stay be­
low a specified maximum speed that can be set,
changed or deleted in the Infotainment system .
The speed warning system warns you if you are
exceeding the maximum speed that you have set .
A warning tone will sound as soon as your speed
exceeds the stored value slightly. The
(Ol (USA
