How to Shift from Automatic to Manual in a Tiptronic Transmission?
1 Answers
The steps to shift from automatic to manual in a tiptronic transmission are: 1. Turn the ignition key to the second position (power mode), allowing the car's computer system to perform a self-check; 2. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from P (Park) to N (Neutral), then start the engine; 3. While keeping the foot brake pressed, shift from N to D (Drive); 4. In D mode, move the gear lever to the left to engage manual mode—push forward to upshift and pull backward to downshift. Important precautions when using the gears in a tiptronic transmission include: 1. Only engage reverse gear after the car has come to a complete stop, and avoid coasting in N (Neutral); 2. While driving in D (Drive), only switch to manual mode—do not shift into other gears; 3. Avoid pressing the accelerator when changing gears; 4. If the gear lever accidentally shifts into N (Neutral) while driving, immediately release the accelerator and wait for the engine to idle before shifting back to D (Drive).
