Selector Designation Meaning ⇒ lever position R Reverse The reverse gear is engaged. Shift into Reverse only when the vehicle is not moving. N Neutral Transmission is in Neutral position. No power is transmitted to the wheels and no engine braking is available. D Drive (standard All forward gears shift up and down automatically. The driving position) transmission shifts as needed depending on engine load, individual driving style, and vehicle speed. S Sport Drive (Sport All forward gears automatically upshift later and downshift driving position) earlier than in the D (Drive) position, to take full advantage of the engine's power reserves. The transmission shifts as needed depending on engine load, individual driving style, and vehicle speed. Automatic Shift Lock (ASL) The Automatic Shift Lock (ASL) in Park (P) and Neutral (N) prevents drive positions from being engaged inadvertently, which would cause the vehicle to move. To release the ASL, depress and hold the brake pedal with the ignition switched on. Press the release button on the selector lever at the same time. The ASL is not engaged if the selector lever is moved quickly through Neutral (N) (e.g., when shifting from Reverse (R) to Drive (D)). This makes it possible to “rock” the vehicle backwards and forwards if it is stuck in snow or mud. The ASL engages automatically if the brake pedal is not depressed and the lever is in Neutral (N) for more than about 1 second and the vehicle is traveling no faster than about 3 mph (5 km/h). ® In rare cases, the ASL may not engage on vehicles with DSG Direct Shift Gearbox. If this happens, power to the drive wheels will be interrupted to prevent the vehicle from moving unexpectedly. The green indicator light k will blink and a text message will be displayed. To engage the Automatic Shift Lock (ASL): x Depress and then release the brake pedal. Try to engage the ASL again. WARNING Moving the selector lever to the wrong position can cause loss of vehicle control, a collision, and serious personal injury. x Never accelerate when moving the selector lever. x When the engine is running and a drive position is engaged, the vehicle will start to move as soon as the brake pedal is released. x Never shift into Reverse or Park when the vehicle is moving.
