Selector
lever
position
Designation Meaning ⇒ 
. Neutral Transmission is in Neutral position. No
power is transmitted to the wheels and no
engine braking is available.
$ Drive
(standard
driving
position)
All forward gears shift up and down auto-
matically. The transmission shifts as need-
ed depending on engine load, individual
driving style, and vehicle speed.
3 Sport Drive
(sport driving
position)
All forward gears automatically upshift later
and downshift earlier than in the D (Drive)
position, to take full advantage of the en-
gine's power reserves. The transmission
shifts as needed depending on engine
load, individual driving style, and vehicle
speed.

Automatic Shift Lock (ASL)
The Automatic Shift Lock (ASL) in Park (P) and Neutral (N) prevents
drive positions from being engaged inadvertently, which would cause
the vehicle to move.
To release the ASL, depress and hold the brake pedal with the igni-
tion switched on. Press the release button on the selector lever at the
same time.
The ASL is not engaged if the selector lever is moved quickly through
Neutral (N) (e.g., when shifting from Reverse (R) to Drive (D)). This
makes it possible to “rock” the vehicle backwards and forwards if it is
stuck in snow or mud. The ASL engages automatically if the brake
pedal is not depressed and the lever is in Neutral (N) for more than
about 1 second and the vehicle is traveling no faster than about
3 mph (5 km/h).
In rare cases, the ASL may not engage on vehicles with DSG® Direct
Shift Gearbox. If this happens, power to the drive wheels will be inter-
rupted to prevent the vehicle from moving unexpectedly. The green
