CD CAUTION
- When you have stopped on a gradient, do
not try to stop the vehicle rolling back by ac­
celerating when a gear is engaged. This
could cause the automatic gearbox to over­
heat and become damaged. Apply the park­
ing brake or press the brake pedal in order
to prevent the vehicle from rolling back.
- If you allow the car to roll with the selector
lever in position N with the engine switched
off, the automatic gearbox will be damaged
as it will not be lubricated.
- In certain driving and traffic conditions, for
instance in stop-and-go traffic, if you have
to pull away frequently or if the vehicle
creeps forwards over a long distance, the
gearbox can overheat and become dam­
aged. If the warning lamp. lights up,
stop the vehicle at the first opportunity and
let the gearbox cool down ¢ page 77.

(1) Note
For safety reasons the parking brake will only

is engaged in its buckle.
Downhill speed control
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
The downhill speed control function helps the
driver when driving down steep gradients.
Downhill speed control is activated on a downhill
gradient when the selector lever is in 0/5 and the
driver presses the brake pedal. The gearbox auto­
matically selects a suitable gear for the gradient.
74 The
downhill speed control function attempts to
maintain the speed at which the vehicle was trav­
elling when the foot brake was applied (subject
to the laws of physics and technical limitations of
the power train). It may be necessary to adjust
the speed again using the foot brake. The down­
hill speed control can change down to 3rd gear
but no further, so it may be necessary to change
to tiptronic mode on very steep gradients. In this
case, change down manually to 2nd or 1st gear in
tiptronic mode to use the engine braking effect
and reduce the load on the brakes.
Downhill speed control is deactivated as soon as
the road levels out again or you press the acceler­
ator pedal.
On vehicles with cruise control system*
¢ page 80, downhill speed control is activated
when you set a cruising speed.
& WARNING
The downhill speed control function cannot
defy the laws of physics and may therefore
not be able to maintain a constant speed in
certain circumsta nces. Always be prepared to
use the brakes! -

fessional assistance.
To release the selector lever, you will need the
screwdriver from the vehicle's tool kit, which is
located in the luggage compartment

For safety reasons, the cruise control system
must not be used in city traffic, stop-and-go
traffic, on roads with a Lot of bends or in dif­
ficult or slippery driving conditions (such as
ice, fog, Loose grit or gravel, heavy rain, etc.)
- risk of accident!
- When you take a turn-off, drive along a mo-
torway exit Lane or pass through roadwork
sections, please temporarily switch off the
cruise control system.
- Make sure you do not unintentionally rest
your foot on the accelerator -this will over­
ride the cruise control system which, as a re­
sult, will not brake the vehicle.
- The automatic braking function may be de­
activated if a system fault occurs in the
brake system (e.g. if the brakes overheat)
while the cruise control system is activated.
All the other cruise control functions remain
activated as Long as the indicator Lamp ii is
Lit.
CD CAUTION
Before driving down a Long, steep gradient, it
is advisable to reduce speed and move these­
lector Lever to a Lower gear. In this way you
will make use of the engine braking effect and
relieve the Load on the brakes.
w) Note
- Vehicles with manual gearbox: The set
speed cannot be reached if the currently se­
lected gear is too high or too Low or if the
engine would overrev or fail to run smoothly
at the target speed. Make sure to change up
or down a gear in good time.
- The brake Lights come on when the system
brakes the vehicle.
Adjusting the speed
Applies to vehicles: with cruise control system
• To increase or reduce the cruising speed in
steps of 1 km/h, briefly push the Lever one Lev­
el upwards or downwards towards 010
¢ page 80, Fig. 85.
• To increase or reduce the cruising speed in
steps of 10 km/h, briefly push the Lever two Driver assist
systems
Levels upwards or downwards towards (!)1 0
¢ page 80, Fig. 85.
• To increase or reduce the speed gradually, hold
the Lever towards GY0 until you reach the de­
sired cruising speed.
Overruling the set speed
You can use the accelerator pedal to increase
speed in the normal way, for example to overtake
another vehicle. Once you release the accelerator,
the system will revert to the speed you stored ini­
tially.
However, if the vehicle exceeds the programmed
speed significantly for a Long time, the cruise
control system will be deactivated temporarily.
The indicator Lamp ii in the instrument cluster
will go out, but the programmed speed will re­
main stored.
Pre-selecting a speed
Applies to vehicles: with cruise control system
You can pre-select a desired speed while the ve­
hicle is stationary.
• Switch on the ignition.
• Pull the Lever to position (D ¢ page 80, Fig. 85.
• Press the Lever up towards 0 or down towards
0 in order to increase or reduce the cruising
speed setting.
This function allows you to enter the desired
cruise control setting speed ahead of time, for
example before joining a motorway. Once you are
on the motor way, you can activate the cruise con­
trol system by pulling the Lever to position (D.

As long as you do not operate the turn signal, the
side assist will merely inform you of the presence
of vehicles that it has detected and judges to be
critical. In this case, the warning lamp on the rel­

The intensity of the warning lamp in this infor­
mation mode is kept relatively low, so that it
does not distract you while you are looking at the
road in front.
Warning mode
If you operate the turn signal, the side assist will
warn you if it registers what it judges to be a crit­
ical vehicle. In this case, the warning lamp on the
relevant exterior mirror will flash brightly. Please
check the situation in the exterior mirror and by
looking back over your shoulder ¢.&. in General

power steering
Electro-mechanical power steering assists the
driver when steering.
The degree of power assistance is adapted elec­
tronically, depending on the speed.
If the power steering should fail at any time or
the engine is switched off (for instance when be­
ing towed), the car can still be steered. However,
substantially more effort than normal will be re­
quired to turn the steering wheel.

Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not give full braking effect for
the first 400 km, they must first be "bedded in".
However, you can compensate for the slightly re­
duced braking effect by applying more pressure
on the brake pedal. Avoid placing a heavy load on
the brakes during the running-in period.
Wear The rate of wear on the brake pads depends a
great deal on how you drive and the conditions in
which the vehicle is operated. Negative factors
are, for instance, city traffic, frequent short trips
or hard driving with abrupt starts and stops.
Noises Brake noise may develop in certain situations, de­
pending on the speed, braking force and ambient
conditions (such as temperature and relative hu­
midity).
Effect of moisture and salt
In certain conditions, such as in heavy rain, or af­
ter washing the car or driving through water, the
full braking effect can be delayed by moisture (or
in winter by ice) on the discs and brake pads. The
brakes should be "dried" by pressing the pedal to
restore full braking effect.
When you are driving at higher speeds with the
windscreen wipers on, the brake pads are very
briefly brought into contact with the brake discs.
This automatic process which goes unnoticed by
the driver is carried out at regular intervals and is
intended to improve braking response in wet con-
ditions. ..,..
