General information about driving in Tiptronic mode
When accelerating, the automatic gearbox / direct shift gearbox goes into a
higher gear a little before it reaches the maximum permitted revolutions.
If a lower gear is selected, the automatic gearbox / direct shift gearbox does
not change down until the point is reached where the engine could no longer
overrev.
If the “Tiptronic” is selected whilst the vehicle is in motion and the automatic
gearbox / direct shift gearbox is in 3rd gear in selector lever position
D , the
“Tiptronic” will then also be in 3rd gear.
Note
•
The gearbox controls on the steering wheel can operate with the gear stick
in any position and with the vehicle in motion.
Handbrake
Using the handbrake
