Selector Lever Positions
P – Parking lock

mechanically locked.
f Engage parking lock only when vehicle is
stationary.
f Engage parking lock after applying the

The ignition key can be withdrawn only in selector

R – Reverse
f Select reverse only if car is stationary and the

N – Neutral
Selector lever position N must be selected for

f

( D, M or R ) only when the engine is idling and
when depressing the brake pedal.
D - Automatic selection mode (in the road
driving program)
f Use selector lever position D for “normal”
driving.
The gears are shifted automatically according
to the accelerator position and speed.
Depending on the way the vehicle is driven and on
the resistance (e.g. uphill), the gear-changing
points are shifted towards higher or lower engine-
speed ranges. Movement of the accelerator,
driving speed, longitudinal and lateral acceleration
and the road profile all have an influence on the
gear-changing characteristic.
When PSM is switched off, transmission gear
changes are done at higher engine speeds.
Unwanted upward shifts, e.g. before corners, are
prevented by swiftly releasing the accelerator
pedal.
Depending on lateral acceleration, upward
changes on corners are not made until the engine-
speed limit is reached.
During braking, and depending on the amount of
deceleration, the Tiptronic changes down earlier.
For subsequent cornering, the right gear is
engaged when pressure is applied to the brakes
before the corner.
