Video of New Gear Change DIS Function

[JamS3]

I know it has been mentioned before the new A/S3 facelift has a new function on the DIS where it prompts a gear change and the correct gear to be in at a certain speed.

People wanted to see this in action (me too!) so I found this vid of a new S3 (facelift) which shows the function about halfway through!

Enjoy

that's interesting.

at first I thought it was a DSG, but obviously it isn't.

No DSG. every A3 facelift model has this function apparently.

that's pretty nifty!

Just noticed this function on the car that I picked up today - very nifty indeed! It can be turned off in the settings of the DIS as well.

I remember noticing it on the 2.0TDI-140 I drove a couple of weeks OK.

Thanks Jamie. Good use of the dead space in the DIS on non DSG cars.

Very cool - reminds me of those economy lights (which suggested when to change gear) that used to get on cars 15 or so years ago - Can remember my Mums old Scirocco having one
