Manual Description
Change speed in increments of 1 mph (1 km/h) by lightly pressing the lever. If you keep the lever pressed down, you will alter your speed in 5 mph 10 km/hl increments. You can also press the accelerator pedal down to increase your speed, e.g. if you want to pass someone.
The speed you saved earlier will resume as soon as you release the accelerator pedal. If, however, you exceed your saved speed by 5 mph (10 km/h) for longer than 5 minutes, the cruise control will turn off temporarily. The symbol will go out but the saved speed will be retained. Vehicles with manual transmission: You can attain the set speed only if the currently engaged gear allows it and the engine is not stressed.
Shifting to a higher or lower gear promptly will allow the engine to run smoothly. The cruise control cannot maintain a constant speed when driving downhill. The vehicle will accelerate under its own weight. Downshift to a lower gear or use the brakes to slow down.
Your vehicle is equipped with a S tronic transmission, also called a double-clutch system/transmission. Power is transferred between the engine and the transmission by means of two independent clutches. They replace the torque converter of conventional automatic transmissions and allow the vehicle to accelerate without a noticeable break in the power flow. With the aid of Tiptronic, the gears can optionally be shifted manually (page 118).
