Lowering slopes

lever to the right to the Tiptronic selection track

steering wheel → page 126.
Stopping and starting uphill
The steeper the climb, the shorter the selected
gear should be.
The Auto-Hold function → p. 155 should be used
when the vehicle is stopped or driving uphill while
the engine is running.
When stopping uphill with a gear engaged, always
prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards by
depressing the brake pedal or engaging the
electronic parking brake. Do not release the brake
pedal or disengage the electronic parking brake
until you have started to drive.
