Explanatory notes on content of table for Limp-home mode 1: 

Power switch (in Tiptronic control unit): 

With the power switch (in Tiptronic control unit) 'ON', the Tiptronic control unit can control the transmission.

With the power switch (in Tiptronic control unit) 'OFF', the Tiptronic control unit cannot control the transmission.

Where the state given in the table is shown with a '*' or '**', then the state is modified as follows:

In the event of a 'solenoid valve modulation pressure (main)' fault, the torque is limited as follows:
