Gear shift point variations for hills
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Audi TT and 2008 Audi TT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
An additional gear shift map automatically selects gear shifts for hills dependent upon accelerator pedal position and driving speed.
- The gear shift map for extreme inclines is matched to engine output.
- The gear shift map for extreme declines is matched to engine braking action.
- By selecting a gear directly in Tiptronic mode, the engine braking effect can be used with a specific gear engage, for example when driving downhill with a trailer.
