Audi figures in some emergency situations if someone was.......

in a high gear in Tip mode he may need all the acceleration the car can provide without having to take their hands off the wheel to down-shift.

You don't have to take your hands off the wheel to downshift.

That was the reason I did not get the Tip on the S4...

but I think that there may be a cure. I believe that the gas pedal can be floored or floored past a some kind of resistance - lamost like a button under the pedal. I believe that flooring it pastthat button overrides manual setting. Se if you can figure it out.
