Emergency braking
In the event that the conventional brake system
fails or locks.
11-In an emergency, pull the switch@¢ page 77,
fig. 81 and continue to pull it to slow your vehi
cle down with the parking brake .
11-As soon as you release the switch @ or acceler-
ate, the braking process stops.
If you pull the sw itch @and ho ld it above a
speed of about
5 mph (8 km/h), the emergency
brak ing funct ion is initiated. The vehicle is braked
at all four wheels by activa ting the hydraulic
b rake system . The brake performance is similar
to making an eme rgency stop ¢
.&..
In o rder not to activate the emergency brak ing by
mista ke, an audible warning tone (b uzzer)
sounds when the sw itch @ is pulled . As soon as
the switch @ is released, or the accelerator pedal
is depressed, emergency braking stops .
A WARNING
Emergency braking should only be used in an
emergency, when the normal foot brake has
fai led or the brake pedal is obstructed. Using
the parking brake to perform emergency brak
ing w ill slow your vehicle down as if you had
made a full brake a pplicat io n. The laws of
physics cannot be suspended even with ESC
and its associa ted components (A BS, ASR,
ED S). In cor ners and w hen ro ad or weather
condi tions a re bad, a full brake app lication
can ca use the vehicle to skid or the rear end to
break away - risking an accident .
Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep your
driving speed below a set speed limit.
T he speed warning system warns if the driver ex
ceeds a previously stored maximum speed . A
~ war ning tone w ill sound as soon as the vehicle
~ speed exceeds the set speed by about 3 mph
~ (3 km/ h). At the same t ime, a warn ing symbol 1.1'1

exceeds the stored maximum speed by
more than about
25 mph (40 km/h) for at least
10 seconds. The stored maximum speed is delet
ed.
Speed wa rning 2
Stor ing warning 2 is recommended if yo u always
want to be reminded of a certain speed, for ex
amp le when you are traveling in a country that
has a general max imum speed limit, or if yo u do
not want to exceed a specified speed for winter

(D Note
Always depress the clutch pedal fully when
changing gears . Do not hold the vehicle on a
hill with the clutch pedal partially depressed.
This may cause premature clutch wear or damage.

Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic/tiptronic
The automatic transmission is controlled elec
tron ically. The transmission upshifts or down
shifts automatica lly depending on which drive
program is selected .
When a
moderate driving style is used, the
transmission selects the most economical driving
mode. It will then change up early and delay the
downshifts to give better fuel economy.
The transmission switches to a sporty mode after
a kick-down or when the driver uses a
sporty driv
ing style
characterized by quick acce lerator pedal
movements, heavy acce leration, frequent
changes in speed and traveling at the maximum
speed .
If desired, the driver can a lso select the gears
manually (tiptronic mode) c::> page 86.
Various automatic transmissions may be instal
l ed, depending on the model :
S tronic transmission
The S tronic is a dual-clutch transmission . Power
i s transferred using two clutches that work inde
pendently from one another . They replace the
torque converter used in conventio nal automatic
transmissions and allow the vehicle to accelerate
without a noticeable interruption in traction .
tiptronic transmission
In the tiptronic t ransm ission, power is transfer
red by a torque converter.

Aut omatic transm issio n
This prevents too much stress from being placed
on the locking mechanism .
A WARNING ,-
-The vehicle can also roll when the engine is
stopped.
- Unintended vehicle movement can cause se
rio us injury.
- Never leave your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear . If you must leave your
veh icle when the engine is running, activate
the park ing brake and move the selector lev
er to P .
- Power is still transmitted to the wheels
when the engine is runn ing at idle . To pre
vent the vehicle from "creep ing", you must
keep your foot on the brake when the eng ine
is running and the se lector lever is in D/S or
R or "tiptronic" mode is selected.
- Do not press the accelerator pedal when
changing the se lector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the eng ine is
r u nning .
- Never sh ift into R or P while driving ,
- Before driving down a steep s lope, reduce
your speed and sh ift into a lower gear with
" t ipt ronic ".
- Do not ride the brakes or press the brake pedal too ofte n or too long whe n driving
down a hi ll. Constant brak ing causes the
b rakes to overhea t and substantially re
duces braking performance, increases brak ing distance or causes comp lete fai lure of
the brake system.
- To prevent the vehicle from ro lling back
when stopping on inclines, always ho ld it in
p lace with the brake pedal or parking brake.
- Never hold the vehicle on an incline with a
slipping clutch. The clutch opens automati
cally when it becomes too hot from the
overload. An ind icator lamp@] illuminates
and a driver message appears¢
page 87
when the clutch is overloaded .
-If the engine must remain running, never
have any dr iving posit ion engaged when

using the shift paddles, move the s elector lever
to the right out of the 0/5 position.
The t ransmission automatically shifts up o r down
before critica l engine speed is reached.
The transmission only allows manua l shift ing
when the engine speed is within the permitted range .
@ Tips
-When you sh ift into the next lower gear, the
transmission will downshift only when there i s no poss ibility of over -revving the engine.
- When the kick-down comes on, the trans
mission will sh ift down to a lower gear, de
pending on vehicle and engine speeds .
- Tiptronic is inoperat ive when the transmis
s ion is in the fa il-safe mode .
Kick-down
Appl ies to vehicles: with S tro nic/t iptronic
Kick-down enables maximum acceleration.
When you depress the accelerato r pedal beyond
the resistance po int, the automatic transm iss ion
downshifts into a lower gear, depend ing o n ve hi
cle speed and engine speed. The upsh ift into the
nex t higher gear ta kes place once the maximum
specified engine speed is reached .
A WARNING
Please note that the drive wheels can spin if
kick-down is used on a smooth slippery road -
there is a risk of sk idding.
