Transmission S tronic
Introduction
The automat ic transm iss ion is controlled elecÂ
tronically. The transmiss ion upshifts or downÂ
shifts automatically depend ing on which drive
p rogram is se lected.
When a
moderate driving sty le is used, the
transmission selects the most econom ica l
d riving 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 swi tches to a sporty mode
after a k ick-down or when the dr iver uses a
sporty driving sty le characterized by quick acÂ
celerator peda l movements, heavy acceleraÂ
tion, frequent changes in speed and traveling
at the maximum speed.
If desired, the drive r can a lso se lect the gears
manually ( tiptronic mode ) ~ page 87.
The S tronic is a dual-clut ch tra nsmission.
P ower is transfe rred using two clutches that
work independently from one another . 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.

86 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
l'§J illuÂ
minates and a driver message appears
Q page 88 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 195. Otherwise, any increase in
engine speed may set the vehicle in mo- tion
, even with the parking brake apÂ
plied.
@ 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 81 , 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
to maintain a constant speed under all

When accelerating, the transmission does
not
automatically shift to the next gear shortly
before the max imum pe rm itted engine RPM is
reached.
If you have selected a lower gear than the curÂ
rent one, the automatic transmission will shift
down only when the engine w ill not be overÂ
revved.
With kick-down , the transm ission shifts into a
lower gear depend ing on speed and engine
RPM .
(D Tips
Tiptronic is inoperat ive when the transmisÂ
sion is in the fail-safe mode .
, Kick-down
Kick-down enables maximum acceleration.
When you depress the accelerator peda l beÂ
yond the resistance point, the automatic
transmission downshifts into a lower gear, deÂ
pending on vehicle speed and eng ine speed .
The upshift into the next higher gear takes
place once the max imum specified engine
speed is reached .
.&_ WARNING
Please note that the whee ls can spin if
kick-down is used on a smooth slippery
road -there is a risk of skidding.

confirmed by the video camera, an acute
collision warning.
- For safety reasons, do not use adaptive
cruise control when driving on roads with
many curves, when the road surface is in
poor condition and/or in bad weather
(such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and
hydroplan ing). Using the system under
these conditions cou ld result in a co lliÂ
sion.
- Switch adaptive cruise control off tempo rar ily when driving in turning lanes, on
expressway exits or in cons truction
zones. This prevents the vehicle from ac celerating to the set speed when in these
situations.
- The adaptive cr uise control system wi ll
not brake by itse lf if you p ut your foot on
the accelerator pedal. Doing so can overÂ
ride the speed and distance regulation .
- When approaching stationary objects
such as stopped traff ic, adaptive cruise
control will not respond and braking
guard w ill have limited function.
- The adaptive cruise control system and
braking guard do not react to people, anÂ
ima ls, objects crossing the road or onÂ
coming objects.
- The function of the radar sensor can be
affected by reflective objects such as
guard rails, the entrance to a tunnel,
heavy rain or ice.
- Never follow a ve hicle so closely that you
cannot stop your vehicle safely. The
adaptive cruise cont ro l cannot slow or
brake the veh icle safely when you follow
ano ther veh icle too closely. Alway s reÂ
member that the automatic braking
function cannot bring the vehicle to a sudden or emergency stop under these
condit ions.
- To prevent unintended operation, always
switch ACC off when it is not being used.
(D Note
The sensor can be disp laced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, whee l housing and
underbody . That could affect the adaptive cruise control
system and braking g uard.
