How to Overtake with a Tiptronic Transmission?
1 Answers
When overtaking with a tiptronic transmission, you need to press the accelerator pedal deeply. At this time, the transmission will automatically downshift, and the engine speed will increase, allowing for smooth overtaking. If the vehicle's transmission responds relatively slowly, the driver can directly switch to manual mode when quick overtaking is needed, then manually downshift and press the accelerator deeply to achieve rapid overtaking. A tiptronic transmission is an automatic transmission with a manual mode. After switching to manual mode, the driver can manually control upshifting or downshifting. The manual mode of a tiptronic transmission is used during aggressive driving or when quick overtaking is required. A manual transmission allows the driver to select any gear, while the manual mode of an automatic transmission only permits the driver to manually control upshifting and downshifting, without the ability to directly select a specific gear.
