Should You Downshift or Upshift When Overtaking with a Tiptronic Transmission?
1 Answers
To accelerate for overtaking, you should downshift. Under good road conditions, the gear should be increased as the vehicle speed rises, meaning you should progressively upshift during acceleration to match the speed. Areas with heavy pedestrian traffic: Frequently encountered pedestrian crosswalks, intersections, or urban areas with high traffic volume. Narrow bridges, steep slopes, etc.: In addition to these common no-overtaking zones, areas like narrow bridges, steep slopes, railway crossings, curves, and tunnels are also prohibited for overtaking. Overtaking is not allowed in any situation where conditions are unsuitable.
