On l e
vel gr
ound, just use the l
ever to engage
position P. On slopes you should first apply
the parking brake and then set the lever to P.
This makes it easier to remove the lever from
position P when starting.
If the driver door is opened and the lever is
not in position P, the vehicle could move. The
following warning is displayed on the instru-
ment panel:

Driving

Start and driving
The assistant attempts to maintain the speed
at which the v ehicl
e was tr
av
elling when the
brake 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.

Depending on the profile selected, the engine
responds more quickly or smoothly to the ac-
celerator being pressed. When Eco mode is
selected, the Start-stop function is activated.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
gear change timing is changed to put the
changes at higher or lower revolutions. Eco mode activates the Inertia function, thereby
reducing consumption. The rest of the driving
modes will activate the inertia use function
when the selector lever is not in the S posi-
tion, depending on how the accelerator ped- al is released
