conventional handbrake, and is mainly intended
to prevent the vehicle from rolling away acciden­
tally.
66 However,
the electro-mechanical parking brake
also offers a number of convenience and safety
features in addition to the functions of a normal
handbrake.
When driving away
- The parking brake auto release function relea­
ses the parking brake automatically when you
wish to start moving ¢ page 67, Driving away
from a standstill.
- When
driving away on a gradient, the parking
brake auto release function prevents the vehicle
from rolling back unintentionally. The braking
force of the parking brake is only released when
there is enough power at the wheels to make
the vehicle move in the desired direction.
Emergency braking function
An emergency braking function enables you to
stop the vehicle even if the conventional foot
brake should fail to work ¢ page 68, Emergen­

gearbox
Automatic gearbox
S tronic
Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
The vehicle is equipped with an electronically
controlled dual-clutch gearbox (S tronic). Torque
between the engine and the gearbox is transmit­
ted via two independent clutches. They enable
smooth, uninterrupted acceleration of the vehi­
cle.
The gearbox shifts up or down automatically and
continuously adapts the timing of the gear
changes to your driving style.
When you drive at moderate speeds the gearbox
will select the most economical shift programme.
It will then change up early and delay the down­
shifts to give better fuel economy.
If you drive at higher speeds with heavy accelera­
tion, if you open the throttle quickly, or if you use
the kick-down or the car's maximum speed, the
gearbox will automatically select the more "spor­
ty" shift programmes.
If desired, you can also select the gears manually
(tiptronic mode).
Selector lever positions
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
Fig. 76 Instrument cluster: Selector lever positions
The current selector lever position and the cur­
rent gear are shown in the infotainment display.
P - Parking lock
When the selector lever is in this position, the
driven wheels are locked mechanically. The park-
70 ing
lock must only be engaged when the vehicle
is stationary ¢.&. .
The interlock button (the button in the selector
lever handle) must be pressed in and the brake
pedal must be depressed before moving these­
lector lever either in or out of position P.
R - Reverse gear
Reverse gear must only be engaged when the ve­
hicle is stationary and the engine is idling ¢.&..
To move the selector lever to position R, press in
the interlock button and at the same time press
the brake pedal. The reversing light comes on
when the selector lever is in the R position with
the ignition on.
N - Neutral
In this position, the gearbox is in neutral.
DIS -Drive/Sport (standard position for
driving forwards)
In selector lever position D/S, the gearbox can be
operated in either the standard drive mode (D) or
in sport mode (S). To select sport mode (S), brief­
ly pull the selector lever back. The gearbox will
switch back to drive mode (D) if you pull these­
lector lever again. The selected driving mode is
shown on the infotainment display.
In the standard drive mode (D), the gearbox au­
tomatically selects the best gear ratio. This de­
pends on the engine load, the road speed and the
driving style.
Select sport mode (S) if you wish to take full ad­
vantage of the car's performance. This setting
makes use of the engine's maximum power out­
put. When accelerating the gear shifts may be
noticeable.
Press the brake pedal when moving the selector
lever from N to D/S if the vehicle is stationary or
at speeds below 2 km/h ¢ .&..

shifts give improved fuel economy because the
full power reserves of the engine are not used.
In this mode, Eis shown on the display instead of
D ¢Fig. 76.
A WARNING
- The car can roll away even if the ignition is
switched off.
- Never move the selector lever to R or P
when driving, as this could cause an acci­
dent.
- In all selector lever positions except P the
vehicle must always be held with the foot
brake when the engine is running. This is be­
cause an automatic gearbox still transmits
power even at idling speed, and the vehicle
tends to "creep" -risk of accident!
- The accelerator pedal must on no account
be pressed inadvertently when a gear is en­
gaged with the vehicle stationary . The vehi­
cle could otherwise start moving immedi­
ately (in some cases even if the parking
brake is engaged) and possibly cause an ac­
cident.
- Do not press the accelerator while selecting
a gear with the vehicle stationary and the
engine running, as this could cause an acci­
dent.
- The driver should never get out of the vehi­
cle when the engine is running and a gear is
engaged. If you have to leave your vehicle
while the engine is running, you must apply
the parking brake and engage the parking
lock P.
- To avoid accidents, apply the parking brake
and put the selector lever in position P be­
fore opening the bonnet and working on the
vehicle with the engine running. Please ob­
serve the important safety warnings
¢ page 220, Working on components in
the engine compartment.

Kick-down feature
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
The kick-down feature is designed to give maxi­
mum acceleration.
When the accelerator pedal is pressed right down
past the point of resistance at full throttle, the
gearbox will shift down to a lower gear, depend­
ing on road speed and engine speed. The upshift
to the next higher gear is delayed until the en­
gine reaches maximum rpm.
A WARNING
Please note that if the road surface is slippery
or wet, the kick-down feature could cause the
driving wheels to spin, which could result in
skidding.
Coasting mode
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
In coasting mode, you can use the vehicle's kinet­
ic energy to drive without using the accelerator
on certain stretches of road. This saves fuel by al­
lowing you to take your foot off the accelerator
earlier and let the vehicle coast (for instance

"' Ta ke your foot off the accelerator.
If you have selected the "on-board computer"
display, the message Coasting will then appear.
The gearbox automatically disengages the clutch
at speeds above 20 km/h and lets the vehicle
coast without the engine braking effect. The en­
gine ticks over at idling speed while the vehicle is
coasting.
Stopping coasting mode
"' Press the brake pedal or accelerator.
To use the engine braking effect and overrun fuel
cut-off again, all you need to do is tap the brake

You can improve your fuel economy and help to
reduce emissions by using a combination of the
coasting mode (i.e. coasting with low fuel con­
sumption on a longer stretch of road) and the
overrun fuel cut-off (i.e. using the engine brak­
ing effect with no fuel consumption on a shorter
stretch of road).
A WARNING
- If you are approaching an obstruction when
coasting mode is switched on, please re­
member that the vehicle will not slow down
as quickly as usual when you take your foot
off the accelerator -risk of accident!
- The vehicle can pick up speed if you are driv­
ing down a slope in coasting mode -risk of
accident!

Speed warning function
Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with speed warning function
The speed warning function can help you keep
below a pre-set maximum speed.
The speed warning function will warn you if the
vehicle exceeds the pre-set maximum speed. The
system gives an audible warning signal if the set
speed is exceeded by about 3 km/h. The indicator
lamp [9] simultaneously appears on the infotain­
ment display. The indicator lamp [9J goes out
when the speed drops below the set speed limit
again.
You are recommended to store this speed limit
warning if you wish to be reminded of a particu­
lar speed limit. This could be when driving in
countries with general speed limits, or if you
need to keep below a particular speed when win­
ter tyres are fitted, etc.
Note
- Please bear in mind that, even with the
speed warning function, it is still important
to keep a check on the car's speed with the
speedometer and to observe the statutory
speed limits.
- On vehicles for some markets, the speed
warning function warns you when you reach
a speed of 120 km/h. This speed limit warn­
ing is preset at the factory.
