Dynamic shift program (DSP)
Early upshifts and late downshifts ensure optimal fuel consumption. The control unit automatically selects the program.
With a restrained driving style, the automation selects an economical switching program.
With a sporty driving style with sharp acceleration and frequent speed changes, using the maximum speed or after a sharp press on the accelerator pedal, the automatic system operates in the range of sports programs. Late shifting to higher gears allows you to fully utilize the power reserve of the engine. Downshifting is carried out at higher engine speeds compared to the economy program.
The choice of the optimal traffic program for specific conditions is a continuous process.
However, regardless of this, you can switch to a more sporty program by pressing the accelerator pedal sharply. At the same time, the gearbox shifts to a lower gear corresponding to the actual speed of movement, providing the possibility of dynamic acceleration (for example, when overtaking) without the need to sharply press the accelerator pedal all the way.
After shifting back to a higher gear and with the appropriate driving mode, the operation according to the original program is restored.
Tiptronic
System «Tiptronic» It also allows for manual gear shifting. To switch to manual mode, press the control lever from the position «D» to the right. You can switch to manual mode both while driving, and while parking or stopping. When the manual mode is on, the display shows the gear engaged «5, 4, 3, 2, 1».
When shifting the gear lever forward (+) there is a switch to higher, back (-) - downshifts. When accelerating in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears, the transmission will automatically shift to the next higher gear shortly before reaching the maximum engine speed for that gear.
The transfer of the gearbox control lever from a higher to a lower gear is realized only on the condition that the maximum allowable engine speed for this gear is not exceeded.
Manual gear shifting can also be done by pressing the corresponding buttons on the steering wheel. To switch to higher gears, press the top of one of the keys (+), to switch to lower gears - on the lower part of one of the keys (-).
