Audi A6 Typ 4G: Automatic transmission
Introduction
The automatic transmission is controlled electronically.
The transmission shifts up or down automatically
depending on which drive program is
selected.
When a moderate driving style is used, the
transmission selects the most economical driving
mode. The transmission upshifts at a lower RPM
and downshifts at a higher RPM to improve fuel
efficiency.
The transmission switches to a sporty mode after
a kick-down or when the driver uses a sporty
driving style characterized by quick accelerator
pedal movements, heavy acceleration, frequent
changes in speed and traveling at the maximum
speed.
If desired, the driver can also select the gears
manually (tiptronic mode).
Applies to: vehicles with S tronic transmission
The S tronic is a dual-clutch transmission. Power
is transferred using two clutches that work independently
from one another. They replace the
torque converter used in conventional automatic
transmissions and allow the vehicle to accelerate
without a noticeable interruption in traction.
Applies to: vehicles with a tiptronic transmission
Power is transferred using a torque converter.
