Audi RS 7 Sportback  Setting off  Automatic gearbox  tiptronic gearbox
The kick-down feature is designed to give maximum acceleration.
When the accelerator pedal is pressed right down past the point of resistance at full throttle, the gearbox will shift down to a lower gear, depending on road speed and engine speed. The upshift to the next higher gear is delayed until the engine reaches maximum rpm.
In the tiptronic (manual) mode, the gearbox will not automatically shift down to a lower gear. Please remember that you must shift down manually (e.g. when accelerating to overtake another car).
WARNING!
Please note that if the road surface is slippery or wet, the kick-down feature could cause the driving wheels to spin, which could result in skidding.
