Switching into Tiptronic mode on the fly

Here I am after Launch putting ESP back on, and switching into Tiptronic mode to show it's versatility. I can reach 0-60mph in about 6.7 seconds as advertised.

I work on these cars, from VW to Bentley...you can slap the shifter between drive and tiptronic mode all day long, from 1-200 MPH. It's designed to be able to give the driver instant control in any situation. I advise you to read your owner's manual.

@PhoenixOrion602x That's good to know thanks!

I have owned an a4 with a tiptronic and now an S4 and yes, you can switch on the fly without harming anything whatsoever.

@mhitchner Great... But I do not like doing it unless I am stopped :(

@Paintball4Life94 you can switch it back into to normal anytime.

the tiptronic is a very strong transmission, it will NOT hurt to shift from drive to tiptronic.

i have done my research have you?
