Special feature:
The countdown from approx. 10 seconds to
return to normal automatic operation is inter-
rupted, in the event that cornering is detected
or the vehicle is in overrun operation.
When normal driving conditions are detected
again, the countdown recommences from
approx. 10 seconds.
An innovation for all automatic gearboxes is
the "Tip in D " function. This means that the
steering wheel "tiptronic" function is now
also available in selector lever position "D".
The transition to the "tiptronic" function is
effected by actuating one of the two tip
switches on the multi-function steering wheel
(selector lever in position "D"). The system
then switches to the "tiptronic" function for
approx. 10 seconds. All gears can be shifted
within the range of permissible engine
speeds.
The system returns to normal automatic oper-
ation approx. 10 seconds after the last tip
request.
