WARNING (Continued)
vIf the vehicle stalls, with engine running, in the D, S , R or Tiptronic mode,
then the vehicle must be prevented from rolling away using the brake ped- al, or using the Auto Hold function. Even when the engine is idling, the pow-

whilst driving, the engine must be running at idling speed.

This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output
and braking power of the engine.WARNINGIf the engine power and engine braking effect is insufficient in order to
maintain the set speed, the acceleration and brake pedals must be taken
over!
