Stopping briefly
– If stopping for a short time, keep the vehicle stationary by
pressing the foot brake hard to prevent the vehicle moving
backwards on a slope or “creeping” forwards, e.g. at traffic
lights. The selector lever does not need to be put into the posi-
tions P or N.
– Do not press the accelerator.
Parking
– Press and hold the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a
standstill ⇒ 
.
– Apply the handbrake.
– By pressing the lock button down, move the selector lever to P
and release the lock button.
Driving up and down hills
– Press the selector lever from position “D” to the right into the
tiptronic selector gate.
– Lightly press the selector lever back to change down.
Holding the car on a hill
– The brake must be always pressed down to prevent the vehicle
from “rolling backwards” ⇒ 
. Do not try to prevent the vehicle
from rolling backwards by increasing the engine speed while a
range of gears is selected.
Starting the vehicle up hills
– Apply the handbrake. –
With a selected gear, accelerate slowly and at the same time,
release the handbrake.
The steeper the slope, the lower the needed gear. This increases the brak-
ing effect of the engine. For example, when driving down a very steep slope
in third gear. If the engine brake effect is not enough, the vehicle will speed
up. The automatic gearbox automatically changes up to prevent the engine
over-revving. Use the foot brake to reduce speed and change into 3rd gear
using Tiptronic* ⇒ 
.
Your vehicle has an automatic interlock which prevents the selector lever
from being put into a position for driving forwards or in reverse from posi-
tions P or N if the brake pedal is not depressed.
The ignition key cannot be removed unless the selector lever is in position
P.
Control lamp “Pressing brake pedal” 
When the warning lamp next to the selector lever lights up, press the brake
pedal. This is necessary when the automatic gearbox selector lever is
moved out of positions P or N. A text message or instructions to perform
necessary operations may appear on the instrument panel.
WARNING
● As a driver, you should never leave your vehicle if the engine is run-
ning and a gear range is engaged. If you have to leave your vehicle while
the engine is running, you must apply the parking brake and put the se-
lector lever in position P.
● If the engine is running and D or R are engaged, you will need to hold
vehicle stopped by depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle would keep
on creeping forward as the power transmission is not fully interrupted
even when the engine is idling. 

Front parking aid
The parking aid system will sound an audible warning to in-
dicate of the approach of any object towards the front or
rear of the vehicle.
Description
The acoustic parking aid system measures the distance between the vehicle
and any possible obstacle using 8 ultrasonic sensors (4 of which are loca-
ted on the rear bumper and 4 of which are located on the front bumper).
The measuring range of the sensors starts approximately and depending on
the nature of the obstacle at a distance of:
● side of the front bumper: 0.6 m
● middle of the front bumper: 1.2 m
● side of the rear bumper: 0.6 m
● middle of the rear bumper: 1.6 m
Activation
The system may be activated in the following ways:
● Engage the reverse gear (a brief, sharp acoustic signal confirms activa-
tion and the correct operation of the system) or
● Push the central console button  (a brief confirmation signal will
sound and the button’s LED will light up).
Disconnection
The system may be deactivated in the following ways:
● Drive forwards at more than approx. 10 km/h (6 mph) or else
● Press the  button, or
● Switch the ignition off Manoeuvres
The distance warning will begin as soon as an obstacle is detected in the
system's field of detection (front and rear). The frequency of the bleeps
emitted by the system will increase rapidly as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle. Two speakers, one in the front and one in the rear, indicate the lo-
cation of the obstacle (either front or rear).
After a distance lower than approximately 30 cm, a continuous signal
sounds (stop signal). At this point the driver should halt the vehicle.
Models with a factory-fitted towing bracket: When the vehicle is less than
0.35 m away from the obstacle the warning tone will sound continuously.
The driver should then not reverse any further.
The warning tone volume decreases by 30% 3 seconds after it is triggered if
the detected obstacle stays at a constant distance from the vehicle.
Provided that it is not in continuous mode, the tone on the parking aid sys-
tem stops when it detects a wall parallel to the vehicle.
Trailer towing
For vehicles factory-fitted with a towing bar, the parking aid system will not
be activated by the engagement of the reverse gear when pulling a trailer,
as the trailer's electric connector will be plugged into the vehicle.
Possible faults
If a continuous, sharp beep sounds for various seconds, there is a fault in
the parking aid system.
If the fault continues until the ignition is turned off, the audible warning of
the fault will not be emitted every time the system is reactivated (by engag-
ing the reverse gear or pressing the button). Thus, the system ready indi-
cation will not sound either. Have the fault repaired by a Technical Service
as soon as possible.
If there is no ready signal or no acoustic warning signal, then the parking
aid loudspeaker is faulty and may not warn of obstacles. To ensure that the
