x Reduce speed. x Switch to Tiptronic mode by moving the selector lever from Drive(D ) to the right into the Tiptronic position ⇒ Shifting with Tiptronic®. x Downshift by pulling the selector lever back briefly (-). If you stop and start up again when going uphill, you should use Hill Hold ⇒ Starting assistance sys- tems as long as the engine is running. Vehicles without Hill Hold: If you stop on a hill with the vehicle in gear, you must depress the brake pedal or engage the 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 forward ⇒ . 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. WARNING Rapid acceleration can cause skidding and loss of traction, especially on slippery roads, resulting in a loss of vehicle control, collisions, and serious personal injury. x Only use the kick-down feature or fast accelraetion if visibility, weather, road, and traffic conditions permit and other drivers will not be endangered by your driving and the vehicle's acceleration. x Always adapt your driving to the traffic flow. NOTICE x When stopping on hills with te htransmission in a drive gear, do not use the accelerator to help prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards. This can cause the automatic transmission to overheat and be damaged. x Never let the vehicle coast or roll down a hilin l Neutral (N), especially when the engine is not running. The transmission will not be lubricated and will be damaged. Automatic transmission malfunction ¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS Emergency shift program If all selector lever position indicators in the instrument cluster display are highlighted against a bright background, there is a system malfunction.

It is then impossible to drive the vehicle backwards.
