How Can One Use The Tiptronic Gear Transmission?? by Lagusta(m): 10:51am On Sep 24, 2013
Most new cars with auto tranny usually have the tiptronic transmission installed with it. I believe it is an alternative that allows the driver to engage gears manually, by tipping the lever upwards to increase gears and downwards to decrease it.....

Now the question: since there is no clutch, how do we shift gears Or do we use the button on the gear lever to shift

Car gurus and petrol-heads?

simple in tiptronic mode you just tap the shifter either UP (+) or DOWN (-)

If you are in gear 2 and tap UP (+) if shifts to gear 3 repeat the same for higher gears

for shifting down tap DOWN (-) eg from 4th gear to 3rd

are you saying if one is on the top gear like gear 5 and eventually come to a full stop, we should downshift
serially or just once?

It will drop down to 1 on its own when you come to a stop but if you slowed down you should downshift
