To use a tiptronic transmission, release the accelerator while driving and shift the gear lever to the M position. A tiptronic transmission is a gearbox that combines manual and automatic shifting functions. Structurally, it mainly consists of a conventional gearbox, an electronically controlled clutch, an automatic shift control mechanism, and an electronic control unit. The tiptronic transmission was developed to enhance the fuel efficiency and controllability of automatic transmissions, allowing the driver to regain control over shift timing from the computer, thereby improving driving operability. The gear positions of a tiptronic transmission include: 1. D (Drive) for forward movement, used when driving on roads; 2. R (Reverse) for backing up, which can only be engaged after the vehicle has come to a complete stop;
