fig. 146 .
Shifting down gears
– One-touch back of the selector lever (in the Tiptronic position) .
It is possible to switch over to manual both when the car is stationary and also when
driving.
When you accelerate, the gearbox shifts up automatically in gears 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
into the next higher gear just before the maximum permissible engine speed is
reached.
If you select a lower gear, the automatic gearbox does not shift down until there is
no risk of the engine overrevving. (Does not apply for the shifting from 2nd to 1st
gear.)
If you operate the kickdown function, the gearbox shifts into a lower gear in line
with the vehicle speed and engine speed.
Emergency programme
An emergency programme exists in the event of a fault in the system.
The gearbox operates in a corresponding emergency programme if there are func-
tional faults in the gearbox electronics. This is indicated by all of the segments in the
display lighting up or going out.
A functional fault can have the following effect:
•
The gearbox only shifts into certain gears.
•
The reverse gear R cannot be used.
•
The manual shift programme (Tiptronic) is switched off in the emergency mode.
If the gearbox has switched over to emergency mode, drive to the nearest
specialist garage in order to have the fault rectified.
