Glossary (cont’d)
Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG)
DSG is a manual gearbox in which the gearshifts are controlled electronically. What makes the DSG
unique is that it has 2 separate gear sets operated by 2 wet multi-plate clutches. The benefit of 2 gear
sets and 2 multi-plate wet clutches is that one gear set and clutch is engaged driving the vehicle with
the second clutch having already pre-selected the next gear awaiting for power to be transferred. As
the next gear has already been pre-selected prior to power being applied, the gear change only takes 3-
4 100ths of a second. There is virtually no interruption to power, traction or acceleration. The DSG also
offers Tiptronic gear selection and sports mode.
Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD)
Electronic, more sophisticated means of regulating the ratio of front/rear brake pressure. Settings are
varied according to driving and load conditions to ensure each wheel is braked to the optimum extent.
Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP)
ABS and ASR traction control systems are integrated into the Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP). In
short, ESP helps ensure that the vehicle goes where you steer it even in extreme driving conditions. The
ESP system constantly compares the actual movement of the vehicle with pre-determined values and
should a situation arise where the vehicle starts to skid, ESP will apply the brakes to individual wheels
and automatically adjust the engine’s power output to correct the problem. ESP prevents the vehicle
from losing control when trying to avoid an accident, for example. It also prevents spinning off on a
curve due to either understeer or oversteer.
Front Assist with City Emergency Brake (City EB) function*
The Front Assist ambient traffic monitoring system uses a radar sensor to detect critical distance
situations and thus help to shorten the braking distance, reducing the risk of a rear-end collision.
The traffic ahead is monitored constantly by the radar at the front. If a vehicle is detected ahead of you
in the lane, the distance and the speed relative to it are calculated. If the gap is closing too fast, Front
Assist initially warns the driver by means of an audible as well as a visual signal. At the same time, the
brake pads are brought into contact with the brake discs and the sensitivity of the Brake Assist is
increased. This primes the braking system for a possible emergency stop.
If the situation escalates, the City EB function provides automatic braking and/or boosting of the
driver’s braking force up to maximum braking.
Front Assist with City EB cannot replace the driver’s assertiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle and must
monitor the speed and distance in relation to other vehicles.
Lane Assist*
Lane Assist is a lane departure warning system that is designed to help reduce the likelihood of the
vehicle leaving the road or crossing into on oncoming lane and therefore the risk of accident as a result
of driver distraction or a lapse in concentration.
The Lane Assist system monitors the road ahead with the aid of a camera (located near the interior rear-
view mirror) which recognises lane markings and evaluates the position of the vehicle. If the vehicle
starts to leave the lane, the Lane Assist system takes corrective steering action. If this is not sufficient
the driver is warned about the situation by a steering vibration and is asked to take over the steering.
Additionally, if no active steering movements by the driver are recognised for longer than approximately
8 seconds, a message will appear in the Multi-Function Display (MFD Plus) in conjunction with a
warning tone. The corrective steering function can be overridden by the driver at any time and the
system does not react if the turn indicator is set before crossing a lane marking.
Lane Assist cannot replace the driver’s assertiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle and therefore staying in
the lane at all times. The system will not work if there are no recognisable lane markings. The camera vision can be reduced by
rain, snow, heavy spray or oncoming lights. This and vehicles in front of you can lead to the lane markings not being recognised
by the Lane Assist system. The Lane Assist system does not activate at a vehicle speed of less than 65km/h.
