A WARNING
Unintentional vehicle movements can cause
serious injury.
• The driver must never leave the driver
seat when the engine is running and a posi·
tion has been selected. If you have to leave
the vehicle while the engine is running , al·
ways switch on the electronic parking brake
and move the selector lever to position P.

The gearbox changes th e forwa rd gears up and
down automat ic a lly .
Driving down hills
The steeper the gradi ent, the lower the gear you
will need . Lower gears increase the braking effect
of the engine . Never allow the vehicle to roll down
mountains or hills in the neutral position N.
• Reduce your speed.
• Push the selector lever from posit ion D t o the
r i
ght into the Tiptron ic gate ~page 175.
• Gently push the selector le ver to the rear to
change down gear.
• OR: shift down a gear using the padd les on the
s te
erin g wheel ~page 175 .
Stopping the vehicle and pulling away when
driving uphill
The steeper the incline, the lower the gear you will
need.
If you wish to stop the vehic le or pu ll away when
driv ing uphill you should use the Auto -Ho
ld func
tion
~page 196.
When you stop the vehicle on an incl ine and the
vehicle remains in gear , the vehicle must always
be prevented fro m rolling by depress ing the brake
pedal or
by applying the electron ic park ing brake .
The brake pedal or the electronic parking brake
should
not be released until you pull away ~CD.
Freewheel driving with dual clutch gearbox
DSG®
In
freewheel mode, the momentum of the vehicle is
used to save fuel with a foresighted driving style.
The engine is declutched and no longer brakes the
vehicle -the vehicle can
roll out over a longer dis
t a nce.
Switch-on condit io n: the selector lever must be in
positio n D.
Triggering freewheel driving
• Select the Eco driving mode from the Driving
Mode Selection menu ~page 248 .
• Remove foot from accelerator pedal. The en
gine
w ill be disengaged and run in freewheel
mode. The vehicle rolls without the braking effect
of the eng ine .

ing on the speed and engine revs. This will make
use of the full veh icle acceleration ~ Lt.
The gearbox does not shift up to the next gear until
the engine reaches the maximum engine s
peed for
the gear.
When the
Eco driving mode is sel ected in vehicles
with Driving Mode Selection ~page 248 and the
accelerator is depressed
fully beyond the pressure
point, the engine output is automatically regulated
to ensure maximum vehicl e acceleration .
Launch control programme
The launch control programme enables maximum
accelerat ion from a stand ing start .
• Switch off TCS ~page 179.
• Depress and hold the brake pedal with your left
foot.
• Move the selector lever to position S, or into the
Tiptronic position. Alte rnatively , select the Sport
driving mode in vehi cles with Driv ing Mode Selec
tion ~page 248 .
• With your right foot, depress the accelerator un
til the engines speed reaches approximately
3,200 rpm.
• Take your left foot off the brake ~ ~. The vehi
cle will start with maximum acceleration.
• Switch the TCS back on after accelerat ion.
A WARNING
Rapid acceleration can cause loss of traction
and skidding, particularly on slippery roads .
This can cause you to lose control of the ~e
hicle, which can lead to accidents and sen·
ous injuries.
• Always adjust your driving style in ac·
cordance with the flow of traffic.
• Only use kickdown or fast acceleration if
visibility, weather road and traffic conditions ' t permit, and other road users are not put a
risk due to the acceleration and the driving
style.

Emergency programme
There is a fault in the system if all the displays on
the mstrument clu ste r for the se lector le ve r posi
tions have a light background. The automatic gear
box is running in an emergency programme. The
vehicle can still be driven in the eme rg ency pro
gramme, but only at reduced speed and not in all
gear s.
In vehicles with a dual clutch gearbox DSG®, y o u
may
no longer be able to select reverse gear.
In all cases the automatic gearbox should be
checke d
by a qualified workshop immediately.
Overheating of the dual clutch gearbox

The ParkPilot assists the driver when manoeuvring
and parking . If the vehicle is approaching an obsta
cle located in the range of the ultrasound sensors ,
an intermittent acoustic warning is sounded , de
pending on the distance . The shorter the distance ,
the shorter the intervals . The acoustic warning will
sound continuously if the obstacle is very close .
The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers transmit
and receive ultrasound waves. The system uses
the time difference between the ultrason ic waves
(i.e. between the transmission and reflection from
obstacles and the point of reception) to continu
ously calculate the distance between the bumper
and the obstacle.

• Braking , stopping and parking ~page 179
• Reverse assist system (Rear Assist)

• Accessories , modificat ions , repairs and renewal
of parts ~page 320
A WARNING
The ParkPilot cannot replace the full concen
tration of the driver.
• Unintentional vehicle movements can
cause serious injury.
• Always adapt your speed and driving style
to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con
ditions.
• Ultrasound sensors have blind spots in
Which obstacles and people cannot be detec
ted '--.
A WARNING (Continued) ~-
• Always monitor the area around the vehi
cle as the ultrasound sensors will not always
detect infants, animals and objects.
• Certain surfaces of objects and clothes
cannot reflect the signals from the ultrasound
sensors. The system is unable to detect
these objects or people wearing this type of
clothing, or they may be detected incorrectly.
• External sources of sound can affect the
signals of the ultrasound sensors. In certain
circumstances, the system may not recog
nise people or objects.
A WARNING ~-.
Automatic activation of the ParkPilot only oc
curs at very low speeds. An inappropriate
driving style can cause accidents and serious
injuries.
• Always bear in mind the time delay be
tween the signals.
• The ultrasound sensors may not always be
able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars,
thin rails, fences, posts, trees and open or
opening tailgates. This can result in damage to
your vehicle.
• If the ParkPilot has detected an obstacle
and issued a warning, the obstacle may move
out of the detection range of the sensors as the
vehicle approaches it, particularly if the object
is very high or very low. These objects are no
longer registered.
• The vehicle can sustain considerable dam
age if the warning given by the ParkPilot is ig
nored.
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumper can
be displaced or damaged through impacts, e.g.
when parking.
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers
must be kept clean and free of ice and snow
and not be covered up by stickers or other
items, as these may prevent the system from
working properly.

A WARNING
Using cameras to estimate the distance from
obstacles (persons, vehicle etc. ) is inaccurate
and can cause accidents and severe injuries.
• The camera lens enlarges and distorts the
field of vision and makes objects on the
screen appear to be different and imprecise.
• Certain objects, for example narrow posts
or grids , may be difficult or impossible to see
on the screen because of its low resolution or
poor light conditions.
• The camera has blind spots within which
obstacles and people cannot be detected.
• Keep the camera lens clean, free of snow
and ice and do not cover it.
A WARNING
~------------~--------~~~------~ The technology of the Rear Assist system
cannot overcome the laws of physics or sys
tem-related vehicle limitations. Careless or
unintentional use of the Rear Assist system
can cause accidents and severe injuries. The
system is not a substitute for the full concen
tration of the driver.
• Adapt your speed and driving style to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
• Keep looking to check the direction in
which you are parking and the relevant area
around the vehicle. The front of the vehicle
swings out more than the rear of the vehicle.
•
Do not allow the images shown on the
screen to distract you from the traffic around
you.
• Always monitor the area around the vehi
cle as the cameras will not always detect in
fants, animals and objects.
• The system may not be able to d isplay all
areas clearly.
• The Rear Assist system should only be
used when the tailgate is fully closed.
• The camera only shows two-dimensional
images on the screen. The lack of depth of field
means that recesses and protruding objects on
the ground may only be detected with difficulty,
or may not be detected at all.
• The camera may not always be able to de
tect objects such as thin rails, fences, posts,
trees etc. This can result in damage to your ve
hicle.
