Why does the Audi A6 gear shift change to E?
1 Answers
E stands for Economy mode; switching to other driving modes will revert it back to D. Solution: First, pull the gear lever down to engage "D" mode, then push the lever to the right to enter manual mode. When needing to shift up or down, push the lever forward to upshift and pull it backward to downshift. Notes: Upshifting is not possible if the vehicle speed and engine RPM do not meet the requirements. Each operation must be approved by the transmission control unit. In manual mode, the transmission will downshift at low speeds but will not upshift automatically. Return the lever to the right to restore automatic mode. Manual and automatic modes can be switched at any time without braking, and the throttle does not need to be released.
