Introduction Your vehicle is equipped with an electronical-
ly contr
oll

ed manual gearbox. Torque be-
tween the engine and the gearbox 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 ››› page 230,

When the lever is put in this position, the drive
wheels are locked. The lever must only be put
in P when the vehicle is stationary ››› .
T o put the l

ever in P or take it out of P , the
locking button must be pressed and held and
the brake pedal pressed simultaneously.
 – Reverse gear
Reverse gear must be engaged only when
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
idling ››› .
T o mo

ve the lever to position R, the lock but-
ton must be pressed and held while pressing
the brake pedal at the same time. The reverse
lights come on when the lever is in the R posi-
tion with the ignition on.

With the lever in this position, the gear is in
neutral.

Driving
Engine
Depending on the pr ofil
e selected, the engine
responds more quickly or smoothly to the ac-
celerator being pressed. When the Eco pro-
file 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. The
Eco profile activates the Inertia function,
thereby reducing consumption. The rest of
the driving profiles will activate the inertia use
function when the selector lever is not in the S
position, depending on how the accelerator
pedal is released ››› page 233
. When the ve-
hicle is turned on again, the function is activa-
ted by default to reduce consumption.
With manual transmission, the Eco profile
changes the gear change recommendations
to facilitate more efficient driving.
Dynamic chassis control (DCC)*
DCC continuously adapts the shock absorb-
ers to the condition of the road and current
driving conditions, according to the pre-set
programme.
In the event of a fault in the DCC, the follow-
ing message is displayed on the instrument screen Fault: shock absorber regula-
tion
Steering
The po
wer steering varies its driving modes
and adapts to the profile selected, thus offer-
ing the best behaviour for each situation.
Air conditioning
The Climatronic* can operate in Eco mode
with particularly limited consumption.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Depending on the driving profile, the perform-
ance of the ACC varies, to allow more sporty
acceleration and braking or a more respect-
ful fuel consumption.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
In the Offroad and Snow driving profiles, the
electronic stability Control (ESC)
››› page 278 adjusts to adapt to the terrain.
In addition, hill descent control (HDC) is acti-
vated in the Offroad profile ››› page 236

PreCrash system
The PreCrash system adapts according to
the selected configuration. The Sport and
Offroad driving profiles have specific settings to adapt them to driving and terrain charac-
teristics

Driving
for a minimum of about 5 seconds already
sav es mor
e than the amount of fuel necessa-
ry for restarting.
The engine takes a long time to warm up
when it is idling. Mechanical wear and pollu-
tant emissions are also especially high during
this initial warm-up phase. It is therefore best
to drive off immediately after starting the en-
gine. Avoid running the engine at high speed.
Regular maintenance
Regular servicing helps in saving fuel even
before the engine is started. A well-serviced
engine gives you the benefit of improved fuel
efficiency as well as maximum reliability and
an enhanced resale value. A badly serviced
engine can consume up to 10% more fuel
than necessary.
Avoid short journeys
The engine and catalytic converter need to
reach their optimal operating temperature
in order to minimise fuel consumption and
emissions.
A cold engine consumes a disproportionate
amount of fuel. The engine reaches its work-
ing temperature after about four kilometres
(2.5 miles), when fuel consumption will return
to a normal level. Check tyre pressure
Alw
ays make sure the tyres are inflated to the
correct pressures ››› page 356
to save fuel. If
the pressure is below half bar, fuel consump-
tion may increase by 5%. Due to the greater
rolling resistance, under-inflation also increa-
ses tyre wear and impairs handling.
Do not use winter tyres all year round as
they increase fuel consumption by up to 10%.
Avoid carrying unnecessary loads
Given that every kilo of extra weight will in-
crease the fuel consumption, it is advisable
make sure that no unnecessary loads are be-
ing transported.
Since the luggage rack increases the aero-
dynamic drag of the vehicle, you should re-
move it when not needed. At speeds of
100-120 km/h (62-75 mph), this will save 12%
of fuel.
Save electrical energy
The engine drives the alternator, thereby
generating electricity. This implies that any
increase in power consumption also increa-
ses fuel consumption! For this reason, switch
off any unneeded electrical devices. Devices
that use a lot of electricity includes the blow-
er at a high setting, the rear window heating
or the seat heating*. Plug-in hybrid drive: brak
e early and evenly
to take advantage of energy recovery. Note

Switching the lane assist system on or off
In some countries, the Lane Assist System is
always activated when the ignition is switch-
ed on. The connection status is shown in the
Driver assistance menu of the Infotainment
system or the driver assistance systems menu
after pressing the corresponding button. The
Lane Assist system can be activated and de-
activated in these menus.
The Lane Assist system is ready to actively in-
tervene as of approximately 60 km/h (35
mph) and if it has detected the lane limits
