Everything you need to know about the R-Tronic transmission.
"
Standing Start Characteristics
Automatic transmissions usually produce a certain
amount of drive torque when the engine is idling and
a gear selected. This is known as creep torque. The
vehicle begins to move away if it is not held with the
brake.
R tronic does not generate creep torque when the
engine is idling and a gear is selected.
R tronic automatically opens the clutch wide and
interrupts power fl ow when the vehicle is stationary,
the engine idling, and a gear is selected. This
state is similar to that which occurs with a manual
transmission when the clutch is depressed. No
noticeable feedback is provided as to whether a gear
has been selected or not.
For safety, Neutral is engaged after approximately
10 seconds when the engine is idling and a is gear
selected, unless the throttle or brake is applied during
this time.
