Automatic transmission
Both 5-speed automatic transmissions are cur-
rently already in use in other vehicles from the
Volkswagen Group. They have been modified
and adapted for installation in the Phaeton. An
electronic/hydraulic system is used for control-
ling the two automatic transmissions.
Furthermore, both 5-speed automatic transmissions have:
- a dynamic shift programme and also a sport programme,
- a regulated torque converter lockup clutch,
- and a Tiptronic shift programme with steering wheel switches.
To this end, the automatic transmission's control
unit registers operating conditions, the driver's
wishes as well as external influences such as
travelling uphill or downhill. Shifting between the
5 gears is effected by the control unit with
regards to all incoming data.
