Selector lever lock

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-

ings on page 121.

Automatic selector lever lock 

With the ignition on, the selector lever is locked when it is in the positions P and

N. The brake pedal must be depressed to move the selector lever out of this posi-

tion. The indicator light  » page 26, Selector lever lock/starting (KESSY system)

 illuminates in the instrument cluster as a reminder for the driver when the se-

lector lever is in the positions P and N.

The selector lever is not locked when quickly moving across the position N (e.g.

from R to D). This, for example, helps to rock out a vehicle that is stuck. The selec-

tor lever lock will click into place if the lever is in the N position for more than 2

seconds without the brake pedal being pressed.

The selector lever lock is only active if the vehicle is stationary or moving at speed

of less than 5 km/hour. The lock is switched off automatically into position N

when the car is travelling at a higher speed.

Shiftlock button

The Shiftlock button in the handle of selector lever prevents certain selector lever

positions being engaged inadvertently. The selector lever lock is cancelled when

the Shiftlock button is pressed.

Ignition key withdrawal lock

After the ignition is switched off, the ignition key can only be withdrawn if the se-

lector lever is in the position P. If the ignition key is withdrawn, the selector lever

is blocked in position P.

Kickdown function

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-

ings on page 121.

The kickdown function provides you with maximum acceleration power.

When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the kickdown function is activated

in the desired driving program. This function has precedence over the driving pro-

gramme and serves for maximum acceleration of the vehicle when exploiting the

maximum power potential of the engine without taking into account the current

selector lever position (D, S or Tiptronic). The gearbox shifts down to one or sev-

eral gears in line with the driving state and the vehicle accelerates. The gearbox

does not shift up into the highest gear until the engine has reached its maximum

revolutions for this gear range.

Dynamic shift programme

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-

ings on page 121.

The automatic gearbox of your vehicle is controlled electronically. Shifting up and

down through the gears is performed automatically on the basis of pre-defined

driving programmes.

Adopting a moderate style of driving will cause the gearbox to select the most

economical driving programme. Shifting up into a higher gear as soon as possible

and shifting down as late as possible will have a favourable effect on your fuel

consumption.

When adopting a sporty style of driving with rapid movements of the accelerator

pedal combined with sharp acceleration, frequent changes in speed and exploit-

ing the top speed of the car, the gearbox will adjust to this style of driving once

the accelerator pedal (kickdown function) is depressed and will shift down earlier,

frequently by several gears in comparison to a moderate style of driving.

Selecting the most appropriate driving programme for the particular style of driv-

ing is a continuous process. Irrespective of this it is, however, possible to switch

or shift down into a dynamic shift programme by depressing the accelerator rap-

idly. The gearbox shifts down into a lower gear in accordance with the speed,

therefore enabling rapid acceleration (e.g. when overtaking) without the accelera-

tor pedal having to be depressed into the kickdown range. The original pro-

gramme will be reactivated to match your particular style of driving once the

gearbox has shifted up again.

When driving in hilly regions, the gears are selected to match uphill and downhill

sections. This avoids the gearbox frequently shifting up and down when negoti-

ating an uphill stretch. When driving downhill, it is possible to shift down into the

Tiptronic position, in order to exploit the engine brake torque.
