Audi Q3 Gear Shifting Operation Method?
2 Answers
After switching to D gear, you can shift up or down by controlling the up and down lever. This type of road section requires high torque intervention, so you can use D- to downshift. You can use D+ to upshift, use 3rd gear for gentle slopes, and 2nd gear for steep slopes to protect the brake pads from premature wear.
I've been driving an Audi Q3 for two years, and the gear operation is actually quite smooth. Before starting, press the brake and hold the unlock button on the side of the gear lever to shift out of P mode. For reversing, just shift to R mode, and the display will show a panoramic image to assist. During normal driving, leave it in D mode, and the transmission will shift gears intelligently on its own. If you want a more spirited drive, pull the gear lever back once to enter S mode, keeping the RPM higher for instant power. On long downhill slopes, you can switch to manual mode and use the +/- buttons on the gear lever to control the gears. When parking, press the P button on top of the gear lever after coming to a complete stop, and the electronic parking brake will engage automatically. Remember, never touch the P button while driving—the clicking sound gives me chills every time.
