Driving
engage the handbrake firmly and the move
the selector lever to the parking position. This
reduces the load on the lock mechanism
while making it easier to move the selector
lever from position
P .
If, while the vehicle is moving, the selector lev-
er is accidentally moved to position
N , re-
lease the accelerator and wait for the engine
to idle before moving it back into position.
WARNING
●
Never press the accelerator when select-
ing the automatic gearbox operating mode
when the vehicle is stationary. Risk of acci-
dent!
●
Never move the selector lever to posi-
tions R or P when driving. Risk of accident!
●
If the vehicle is to be stopped with a gear
selected and the engine idling (e.g. waiting
or moving slowly at traffic lights), press
down on the brake pedal because the
transmission is not entirely interrupted
when the engine is idling and the vehicle
will tend to start moving.
●
Apply the handbrake firmly and put the
selector lever in position P before opening
the bonnet and working on the vehicle with
the engine running. Risk of accident! Strict-
ly follow the safety instructions
›››
page 244, Engine compartment .
● When stopping on a slope (hill), try not to
stop the vehicle from moving by pressing
the “accelerator” with a gear selected.
This could overheat the clutch. If the clutch
risks being burnt due to this force, it would
switch off and the vehicle could move
backwards. Risk of accident!
● If you have to stop on a hill, press down
on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle from
moving.
●
The drive wheels could lose traction on a
slippery road surface when the kick-down
function is activated. Risk of sliding!
CAUTION
●
In DSG automatic gearboxes, the double
clutch is protected from overloads. If the
hill hold control is used, the clutches are
subjected to greater force if the vehicle is
at a standstill on a slope or suddenly ac-
celerating on a slope.
●
Should the clutches overheat, the

symbol is shown on the informative display
with a warning message
Gear overheated.
Stop! Instruction Manual!
An audible
warning is also heard. Stop the vehicle in
this case, stop the engine and wait until the
symbol

has switched off. Danger of dam-
age to the gearbox! You can continue driv-
ing once the symbol is switched off.
