Potenti al malfunction s
If a warn ing buzzer sounds for a few seconds
when the ignition is switched on, there is a
system malf unction with the acoustic park as­
sist. If the malfunction persists until the igni­
tion is switched off, there will be no acoustic
warning at the next attempt to activate the
system. Have the problem corrected.
There is no confirmation tone when reverse
gear is engaged if there is a system malfunc­
tion.
For the parking assist to operate, the sensors
must be kept clean and free of ice .
A WARNING
-Sensors have blind spots in which objects
cannot be detected. Pay special attention
to sma ll children and animals. They can­
not always be detected by the sensors -
danger of an accident!
- The parking assist cannot replace the dr iver's attention. The d river alone is re­
sponsible for parking and s imilar driving
maneuvers. A lways watc h where you a re
dr iv ing.
(D Note
Low obstacles al ready signalled by a warn­
ing can disappear from the system's det ec­
t ion range as they are approached and will
no t continue to be sign alled. Objects such
as barrier cha ins, trailer draw ba rs, thin
pa inted vertical poles, or fences may not
be detected by the system -risk of dam­
age .

Transmission S tronic transmission
Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with a S tronic trans­ miss ion, also called a double-clutch system/
transmission.
Power is transferred between the engine and
the transm ission by means of two i ndepend­
ent clutches. They replace the to rque convert­
e r of conventional automat ic transm iss ions
and a llow the vehicle to acce lerate without a
noticeable break in the power flow .
W it h the aid
of tiptroni c, the gears can op ­
tionally be sh ifted
manually¢ page 90.
Selector lever positions
All the selector lever positions are explained
in this section.

the front passenger seat is checked by t he
e lectronic control unit when the i gnition is on .
The control unit mon itors the Advanced Air ­
bag System and turns the airbag indicator
light on when a malfunction in the system
components is detected. The function of the
a irbag ind icator light is described in greater
deta il be low. Because the front passenger
seat conta ins impo rtant parts of t he Ad­
v a nce d Airb ag System, you m ust ta ke ca re to
prevent it from be ing damaged. Damage to
the seat may prevent the Advanced Airbag for
the front passenger seat from doing its job in
a crash.
The f ront Advanced Airbag System
consi sts o f th e following :
-Crash sensors in the front of the veh icle that
measure veh icle acceleration/dece leration
to provide information to the Advanced Air­
bag System about the severity of the crash.
- An electronic contro l unit, with integrated
crash sensors for front and side impacts.
The contro l unit "decides" whether to fire
the front airbags based on the information received from the crash sensors. The contro l
unit a lso "dec ides" w hethe r th e safety be lt
pretensioners should be a ctivated.
- An Advanced Airbag with gas generator for
