Steering wheel - Tiptronic
The steering wheel switches offer an optimal
ergonomic actuation for gear selection.
Here you use:
- the switch on the right to move up a gear and
- the switch on the left to move down a gear.
If the selector switch is in the ”D” or ”S” setting
while the steering wheel switches are pressed,
the control unit for the automatic gearbox enters
the Tiptronic mode.
The control unit automatically reverts to the
previously selected ”D” or ”S” programme if the
steering wheel switches are not pressed again.
