NOTE: In kickdown mode with the selector in position D or with manual control engaged «Tiptronic» provides the highest possible acceleration.
When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the automatic transmission shifts to the lowest possible gear, depending on the vehicle speed and engine speed, in order to achieve the highest possible acceleration of the vehicle.
In the kick-down mode, the subsequent inclusion into the next higher gear occurs only when the maximum permissible engine speed has been reached.
WARNING: Sudden acceleration on slippery road surfaces can result in loss of vehicle control and subsequent serious injury.
WARNING: On slippery road surfaces, be extremely careful when using the kickdown. Strong acceleration can cause loss of traction and vehicle drift.
WARNING: Engage kickdown only when road conditions permit.
