Driving
Automatic gearbox/DSG au-
tomatic gearbox*
Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronical-
ly controlled manual gearbox. Torque be-
tween the engine and the gearbox is trans-
mitted via two independent clutches. They
replace the torque converter found on con-
ventional automatic gearboxes and allow for
smooth, uninterrupted acceleration of the ve-
hicle.
The Tiptronic system allows the driver to
change gears manually

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 programme (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.
