T he transmission automatically shifts up or dow n
before critical engine speed is reached.
T he transmission only allows manual shifting
when the engine speed is withi n the permitted
range.
@ Tips
- When you shift into the next lower gear, the
transmission will downshift only when there
is no possibility of over-revving the engine.
- When the kick-down comes on, the trans­
mission will shift down to a lower gear, de­
pending on vehicle and engine speeds.
- Tiptronic is ino perative when the transmis­
sion is in the fail-safe mode .
- Hybrid drive*: electric d riving is not possible
in tiptronic mode.
Kick-down
Kick-down enables maximum acceleration .
When you depress the accelerator pedal beyond
the resistance point, the automatic transmission
downsh ifts into a lower gear, depending on vehi­
cle speed and engine speed . The upshift into the
next higher gear takes pla ce once the maximum
specified eng ine 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 skidding.
Transmission malfunction
rm Transmission: Press brake pedal and select
gear again.
Press the brake pedal and select the desired se ­
lector lever position again. You can then cont inue
driving .
