Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) O<br />

DSG is a new and advanced 7-speed transmission in which the clutch and<br />

gearshift are controlled electronically. What makes DSG unique is that the next<br />

gear is already pre-selected and awaiting power to be transferred, resulting in a<br />

gear change that takes only 3-4 hundredths of a second. The benefi ts are virtually<br />

no interruption to power, traction or acceleration, and additional fl exibility.<br />

Furthermore, because it ensures optimum transmission of the engine power,<br />

DSG provides excellent fuel consumption and driving satisfaction.<br />

Hill-Start Assist<br />

Hill-start assist holds the vehicle stationary for 1.5 seconds on hills with an<br />

incline greater than 5 percent, when the foot brake is released, by temporarily<br />

locking the brake pressure. This intelligent feature provides a comfortable hill<br />

start, which importantly avoids any rolling back.<br />
