Shift Point Changes On Inclines And Declines

An additional gear change map automatically selects the gear changes for gradients dependent upon accelerator pedal position and driving speed.

• The gear change map for extreme uphill stretches is matched to engine output
• The gear change map for extreme downhill stretches is matched to the braking effect of the engine.
• Direct gear selection by way of the Tiptronic function permits utilization of engine braking action with a specific gear engaged, for example, on a downhill gradient with a trailer.
