Introduction
to the subject
All forward gears shift up and down automatically.
Driving on hills
The steeper the grade, the lower the gear that must be selected. Lower gears increase the braking effect of the engine. Never coast downhill in Neutral (N).
Stopping and starting on hills: If you stop on a hill with the
vehicle in gear, you must depress the brake pedal or engage the electronic parking
brake to keep the vehicle from rolling. Do not release the brake pedal or the parking
brake until the vehicle has started to move forwards ⇒ .
Kick-down acceleration
The kick-down feature permits maximum acceleration when the selector lever is in the Drive (D), Sport Drive (S) or Tiptronic mode.
If you push the accelerator all the way down, the vehicle will automatically
downshift, depending on vehicle speed and engine speed (rpm). This feature lets
you take advantage of the full acceleration capacity of the vehicle ⇒ .
With kick-down actuated, the transmission will stay in the current gear longer and not upshift until the engine reaches maximum rpm.
