Shift Point Changes on Inclines and Declines

An additional gear change map automatically selects the gear changes for gradients depending on the accelerator pedal position and vehicle 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 via the Tiptronic function also permits utilization of the engine braking effect with a specific gear engaged, for example, on a downhill gradient when towing a trailer.
