Characteristic Features of Tiptronic Vehicles (Slip Upshift)

- When a maximum permissible speed difference between front and rear axle is exceeded, an integrated slip monitoring shifts into the next highest gear. This increases the driving stability on slippery roads.
- When the PSM is switched off, the slip monitoring (slip upshift function), as of model year 2002 (2 range), is also switched off. In this way, the Tiptronic enables an active sporty driving style also when the friction coefficient is low as is the case with manual transmission vehicles.
