remains activated in daytime light conditions.
The lighting is reduced as the exterior light di-
minishes. In some cases, e.g. when driving
through a tunnel without the  function ac- tive, the instrument panel lighting may even
switch off. The objective of this function is to
provide the driver with a visual indication that
he or she should activate the dipped beam.

Driving
To put the lever in P or t ak

locking button must be pressed and held and
the brake pedal pressed simultaneously.

Reverse gear must be engaged only when
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
idling ››› .
T o mo

ve the lever to position R, the lock but-
ton must be pressed and held while pressing
the brake pedal at the same time. The reverse
lights come on when the lever is in the R posi-
tion with the ignition on.
 – Neutral
With the lever in this position, the gear is in
neutral.
Press the brake pedal to move the lever from
N to D/S when the vehicle is stationary or at
speeds below 3 km/h (2 mph) ››› .

orward drive position
The lever in the D/S position enables the
gears to be operated in normal mode (D) or
sport mode (S). To select Sport mode S,
move the lever backwards. Pushing the lever
again will select normal mode D. The selec-
ted driving mode is shown on the instrument
panel display.
In normal mode (D), the gearbox selects the
best gear ratio. This depends on the engine load, the road speed and the dynamic gear
control pr

ogramme (DCP).
Sport mode (S) should be selected for a
sporty driving style. This setting makes use of
the engine's maximum power output. When
accelerating the gear shifts will be noticea-
ble.
Under certain circumstances (e.g. on moun-
tain roads) it can be advantageous to switch
tiptronic mode ››› page 201
, to adapt the
gears to suit the road conditions.
Selector lever lock
In P or N, the lever lock prevents a gear range
from being engaged, and prevents the vehi-
cle from moving off accidentally.
To release the gear lever lock, press and hold
the brake pedal with the ignition on. At the
same time, press the lever lock in the direc-
tion of the arrow ››› Fig. 141
.
As a reminder to the driver, when the lever is
in positions P or N the following indication will
be shown on the screen: When stationary, apply footbrake
while selecting a gear.
The lever is not locked if it is moved quickly
through position N (e.g. when shifting from R
to D). This makes it possible, for instance, to
“rock the vehicle backwards and forwards” if
it is stuck in snow or mud. The lever lock en-
gages automatically if the brake pedal is not pressed and the lever is in position N for mor
e
than about one second at a speed of less
than 5 km/h (3 mph).
Safety interlock for ignition key
Once the ignition has been turned off, the key
may be removed only if the gear selector is in
position P. While the key is not in the ignition,
the selector lever is locked in position P. WARNING

Even if the power steering fails or the engine
is stopped, it is possible to continue to rotate
the steering wheel as long as the key remains
in the ignition lock, but more force must be
applied.

This help assists the driver in critical situa-
tions. It recommends turning the steering
wheel to perform a corrective manoeuvre

Start and driving
Economical and environmentally
friendly driving Fuel consumption, environmental pollution
and w
ear t
o the engine, brakes and tyres all
depend largely on driving style. Consumption
can be reduced between 10-15% with an effi-
cient driving type. The following section gives
you some tips on lessening the impact on the
environment and reducing your operating
costs at the same time.
Active cylinder management (ACT®)*
Depending on vehicle equipment, the active
cylinder management (ACT®) may deacti-
vate some of the engine cylinders if the driv-
ing situation does not require too much pow-
er.
Foresight when driving
If you think ahead when driving, you will need
to brake less and thus accelerate less. Take
advantage of the inertia of the vehicle when-
ever possible, with a gear engaged. This
takes advantage of the engine braking effect,
reducing wear on the brakes and tyres. Emis-
sions and fuel consumption will drop to zero.
Changing gear to save energy
An effective way of saving is to change in ad-
vance to a higher gear. Manual transmission: shift up fr
om first t
o
second gear as soon as possible. Choosing
the right gear enables fuel savings. Select the
highest possible gear appropriate for the
driving situation (the engine should continue
functioning with cyclical regularity).
Automatic transmission: accelerate gradu-
ally and without reaching the “kick-down”
position.
Avoid driving at high speed
Avoid travelling at your vehicle’s top speed,
whenever possible. Fuel consumption, emis-
sion of harmful gases and noise pollution
multiply as speed is increased. Driving at
moderate speeds will help to save fuel.
Reduce idling time
In vehicles with the Start-Stop system idling is
automatically reduced. In vehicles without
the Start-Stop system it is worth switching off
the engine, for example, at level crossings
and at traffic lights that remain red for long
periods of time. When an engine has reached
operating temperature, and depending on
the cylinder capacity, keeping it switched off
for a minimum of about 5 seconds already
saves more than the amount of fuel necessa-
ry for restarting.
The engine takes a long time to warm up
when it is idling. Mechanical wear and pollu-
tant emissions are also especially high during this initial warm-up phase. It is therefore best
to driv
e off immediately after starting the en-
gine. Avoid running the engine at high speed.
Regular maintenance
Regular servicing helps in saving fuel even
before the engine is started. A well-serviced
engine gives you the benefit of improved fuel
efficiency as well as maximum reliability and
an enhanced resale value. A badly serviced
engine can consume up to 10% more fuel
than necessary.
Avoid short journeys
The engine and catalytic converter need to
reach their optimal operating temperature
in order to minimise fuel consumption and
emissions.
A cold engine consumes a disproportionate
amount of fuel. The engine reaches its work-
ing temperature after about four kilometres
(2.5 miles), when fuel consumption will return
to a normal level.
Check tyre pressure
Always make sure the tyres are inflated to the
correct pressures ››› page 278
to save fuel. If
the pressure is below half bar, fuel consump-
tion may increase by 5%. Due to the greater
rolling resistance, under-inflation also increa-
ses tyre wear and impairs handling. »
