ble that the fan turns itself on once more if
the coolant temperature increases due to

Driving
Automatic gearbox/DSG au-
t omatic gearbo
x*
Intr oduction Your vehicle is equipped with an electronical-
ly controlled manual gearbox. Torque be-
tw
een the engine and the gearbo
x is trans-
mitted via two independent clutches. They
replace the torque converter found on con-
ventional automatic gearboxes and allow for
smooth, uninterrupted acceleration of the ve-
hicle.
The Tiptronic system allows the driver to
change gears manually

Start and driving
The assistant attempts to maintain the speed
at which the v ehicl
e was tr
avelling when the
br ak
e was applied, within logical limits. It may
be necessary to correct the speed by press-
ing the brake.
The assistant can only change down as far
as 3rd gear. It is possible that on very steep
slopes you have to switch to tiptronic mode
and change down to 2nd or 1st gear to take
advantage of engine braking and take the
load off the brake system.
Downhill speed control is deactivated as
soon as the road levels out again or you press
the accelerator pedal.
On vehicles with cruise control system*

Driving
cool with the engine at idling speed and the

ver in position
P
. When the warning
lamp and the driver message switch off, have
the fault corrected by a specialised work-
shop without delay. If they do not turn off, do
not continue driving. Seek specialist assis-
tance.
