r:::;, page 79, fig. 92 and cont inue to p ull it to
slow your veh icle down with the park ing
brake.
11-As soon as you release the sw itch @ or ac-
c e le rate, the braking p rocess stops.
If you pull t he sw itch @and hold it above a
speed of about 5 mph (8 km/h), the emergenÂ
cy braking fu nction is in itiated. The vehicle is
b raked at a ll four wheels by activating the hy Â
d ra ulic brake system. The b rake performance
is simi lar to making an emergency stop
r:::;, &. .
In o rder not to activate the emergency brakÂ
i ng by m istake, an a udible warning tone (b uzÂ
zer) sounds when the switc h @ is pu lled . As
soon as the switch @is released, or the accelÂ
erator pedal is depressed, emergency brak ing
stops.
A WARNING
Emergency braking should only be used i n
an emergency, when the normal foot brake
has failed or the brake pedal is obstructed.
Using the parking bra ke to perform emerÂ
gency braking will slow you r vehicle down
as if you had made a fu ll brake applicat ion.
The laws o f physics cannot be s uspended
even w ith ESC and its associated compoÂ
nents (ABS, ASR, EDS). In corne rs and
when road or weather conditions a re bad,
a full brake application can cause the vehiÂ
cle to skid or the rear end to break away -
r isking an accident.
Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep
your driving speed below a set speed limit.
The speed warning system warns if the driver
exceeds a prev iously stored maximum speed .
A wa rning tone wi ll sound as soon as the vehi-
On th e ro ad 81
cle speed exceeds the set speed by about
3 mph (3 km/h). At the same time, a warning
symbol appears in the display. The symbo l's
appearance might be different in some modÂ
els.
The speed warning system has two warning
th resholds that funct ion independent ly of
each other and that have somewhat different purposes:
Speed warning 1
You can use speed warning 1 to set the maxiÂ
mum speed while you are driving. This setting
will remain in effect unti l yo u turn off the ign iÂ
tion, assuming that you have not changed or reset the setting.
The . (USA mode ls)
I. (Canada mode ls)
speed warning symbo l in the warning 1 disÂ
play appears when you exceed the maximum
speed . It goes out when the speed falls be low
the sto red maximum speed .
The speed warn ing symbol will also go out if
the speed
exceeds the stored maximum speed
by more than about 25 mph (40 km/h) for at
least 10 seconds . The stored max imum speed
is deleted.
Speed w arning 2
Storing warning 2 is recommended if yo u alÂ
ways
want to be reminded of a certain speed,
for example whe n you are trave ling in a counÂ
try that has a general maximum speed limit,
o r i f you do not want to exceed a specified
speed for w inte r tir es.
The . (USA models) /. (Canada models)
speed warning 2 symbol appears in the dis Â
play when yo u exceed the stored speed limit.

Transmission S tronic ®
Introduction
The automat ic transm iss ion is controlled elecÂ
tronically. The transmiss ion ups hifts or downÂ
shifts automatically depend ing on which drive
program is se lected.
When a
modera te driving sty le is used, the
tra nsmission se lec ts the most econom ica l
driving mode.
It w ill then change up early and
de lay the downshifts to g ive better f uel econ Â
omy .
The transmis sion swit ches to a sporty mode
after a k ick-down o r when the driver uses a
s porty dri ving sty le characterized by quick acÂ
celerator peda l movements, heavy acceleraÂ
tion, frequent changes in speed and traveling
at the maximum speed.
I f desired, the drive r can a lso se lect the gears
manually ( tiptronic mode ) ~ page 89.
The S tronic ® is a dual-clutch transmission.
P owe r is transfe rred using two clutches that
work independently from one anothe r. They
rep lace the torq ue converter used in convenÂ
tional automatic transmiss ions and allow the
vehicle to accelerate without a noticeable inÂ
terruption in traction.

In the norm al mode D, the transmission autoÂ
matically selects the suitable gear ratio. It deÂ
pends on engine load, vehicle speed and drivÂ
ing style.
Select the
sport mode S for sporty driving.
The vehicle makes full use of the eng ine 's
power. Shifting may become noticeable when
accelerating.
When the vehicle is stationary or at speeds
below 1 mph (2 km/h), you must always apply
the foot brake before and while moving the lever to D/S out of N.

88 Transmission
-Unintended vehicle movement can cause
serious injury .
- Never leave your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear. If you must leave
your vehicle when the engine is running,
activate the parking brake and move the
selector lever to P .
- Power is still transmitted to the wheels
when the engine is running at idle. To
prevent the vehicle from "creeping", you
must keep your foot on the brake when
the engine is running and the selector
lever is in D/S or R or "tiptronic" mode is
selected.
- Do not press the accelerator pedal when
changing the selector lever position
while the vehicle is stationary and the
engine is running.
- Never shift into
R or P while driving.
- Before driving down a steep slope, re-
duce your speed and shift into a lower
gear with "tiptronic".
- Do not ride the brakes or press the brake
pedal too often or too long when driving
down a hill. Constant braking causes the
brakes to overheat and substantially reÂ
duces braking performance, increases
braking distance or causes complete failÂ
ure of the brake system.
- To prevent the vehicle from rolling back
when stopping on inclines, always hold it
in place with the brake pedal or parking
brake .
- Never hold the vehicle on an incline with
a slipping clutch . The clutch opens autoÂ
matically when it becomes too hot from
the overload . An indicator lamp
[O] illuÂ
minates and a driver message appears
Q page 90 when the clutch is overloadÂ
ed.
- If the engine must remain running, never
have any driving position engaged when
checking under the hood. Make sure the
selector lever has securely engaged and
is locked in P with the parking brake set
Q page 200, Engine compartment . OthÂ
erwise, any increase in engine speed may set the vehicle in motion, even with the
parking brake applied.
@ Note
- When stopping on an incline, do not try
to hold the vehicle in place by pressing
the accelerator pedal while a driving gear is selected. This can cause the transmisÂ
sion to overheat and can damage it. ActiÂ
vate the parking brake or press the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling .
- Allowing the vehicle to roll when the enÂ
gine is stopped and the selector lever is
in N will damage the transmission beÂ
cause it is not lubricated under those cirÂ
cumstances.
(D Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is reÂ
leased automatically only when the drivÂ
er's safety belt is engaged in the buckle.
Hill descent control
The hill descent control system assists the
driver when driving down declines.
Hill descent control is activated when these Â
lector lever is in D/S and you press the brake
pedal. The transmission automatically selects
a gear that is suitable for the incline. Hill de Â
scent control tries to maintain the speed achÂ
ieved at the time of braking, within physical
and technical limitations. It may st ill be necÂ
essary to adjust the speed with the brakes.
Hill descent control switches off once the deÂ
cline levels out or you press the accelerator
pedal.
On vehicles with the cruise control system*
Q page 82 , hill descent control is also activatÂ
ed when the speed is set.
A WARNING -
Hill descent control cannot overcome
physical limitations, so it may not be able
