Driving
Electronic torque management (XDS)
When t aking a curv
e
, the driveshaft differen-
tial mechanism allows the outer wheel to turn
at a higher speed than the inner wheel. In this
way, the wheel that is turning faster (outer
wheel) receives less drive torque than the in-
ner wheel. This may mean that in certain sit-
uations the torque delivered to the inner
wheel is too high, causing the wheels to spin.
On the other hand, the outer wheel is receiv-
ing a lower drive torque than it could transmit.
This causes an overall loss of lateral grip on
the front axle, resulting in understeer or
“lengthening” of the trajectory.
The XDS system can detect and correct this
effect via the sensors and signals of the ESC.
Via the ESC, the XDS will brake the inside
wheel and counter the excess driving torque
of that wheel. This means that the driver

It is possible to change to tiptronic mode,
both when the vehicle is stopped and while
driving.

Driving
Kick-down feature The kick-down feature allows maximum ac-
celer
ation t
o be reached.
When the accelerator pedal is pressed right
down past the point of resistance at full throt-
tle, the gearbox will shift down to a lower
gear, depending on road speed and engine
speed. The upshift to the next higher gear is
delayed until the engine reaches maximum
rpm. WARNING
Please note that if the road surface is slip-
pery or wet, the kick -do

wn feature could
cause the driving wheels to spin, which
could result in skidding. Launch control program
 Valid f
or vehicles: with Launch-Control/6-
Speed DSG with diesel engines superior t
o 125
kW and petrol engines superior to 140 kW.
The Launch control programme enables
maximum acceleration. Condition: the engine must have reached op-
erating t
emper

ature and the steering wheel
must not be turned.
The engine speed for launch-control is differ-
ent on petrol and diesel engines. To use the
launch-control you must disconnect the anti-
slip regulation (ASR) through the Easy Con-
nect system menu

Driving
In cit y traffic you do not need to turn so much
on parking, manoeuvring or in v ery tight t
urns.
On the road or on the motorway, progressive
steering transmits, for example, in bends, a
sportier, more direct and noticeably more dy-
namic driving sensation.
Power-assisted steering
Power-assisted steering helps the driver in
critical situations. It recommends the rotation
direction of the steering wheel to perform a
corrective manoeuvre (counter-steering),
thereby causing a small turn of the wheel in
the correct direction to avoid skidding
