Additional shift stage
Malfunctions
If it is not possible to complete a shift action
before clutch engagement, the selector
sleeve will be returned to neutral position
(centre position) in order to prevent
mechanical damage.
In this case, despite a gear having been
selected, there will be no power transmission.
The “LOW RANGE” display will flash.
The shift procedure must be repeated.
The following reasons may cause a shift into
neutral:
• Excessively rapid clutch engagement.
• Incorrect setting of the clutch pedal switch
F194 or floor mat has slipped under clutch
pedal.
• Due to extremely low temperatures, the
shifting time is longer than the clutch
engaging procedure (only engage the
clutch when “LOW RANGE” appears or
extinguishes).
• Air in the system
• Insufficient pump output (e.g. voltage at
the pump for additional shift stage V190 is
too low), pump is defective or suction/
pressure lines are blocked).
• Faulty synchronisation.
• Faulty hydraulic regulator.

Error messages
Flashing “LOW RANGE” display signals an
undesirable condition. This could be a speed
in excess of > 50 km/h in low range or
incomplete shifting procedure.
An inverted “LOW RANGE” display indicates a
fault in the system, and prompts the owner to
contact an Audi dealership urgently.
An intermittent warning tone signals a
critical condition in the following cases:
• If the additional shift stage remains in
neutral when the engine is switched off,
an acoustic signal warns the driver that
there is no transmission power even
though a gear has been selected.
• At a speed of > 50 km/h in low range.
