From position D, push the selector lever to the right to activate tiptronic mode. As soon as the automatic gearbox has activated this mode, the letter M will appear on the display; e.g. M4 means that the vehicle is in 4th gear.

If you use the paddle levers when the selector lever is in positions D/S, the gearbox will remain in manual mode for a while. To switch back immediately to automatic mode after changing gears manually, pull the paddle lever -+- Fig. 2 for approximately 1 second.
If you want to use the paddle levers permanently, push the selector lever from position D to the right into the tiptronic selector gate.
