You don't need manual, you need to use punctuation marks and clearer posts so we can understand what you're trying to say lol

Why do you put the car into neutral when at a stop?

I think what hes trying to say is:

- failed 2nd grade
- drove the car in M mode
- Came to a stop (still in M mode)
- pressed the gas and the car thought he was in Neutral, wouldnt drive
- Moved the lever into D
- warning screen showed "no key"
- car drove off normally.

OP please correct me if I am wrong. Also please speak clearly and use correct punctuation marks. We cant help you if you cant speak correctly.

Or he means.. When hes driving.. Hes around 4th gear, downshifts to 3rd - 1st automatically.. Then he pops it into neutral. and hes stuck when he pops it back to DRIVE when the green light is up?

me no idea what he saying, where you put you're key at?

Edited Post:

Hey guys.. So I always drive my car in tiptronic mode but today I was at a complete stop (in neutral) and put it into gear (Manual mode, 1st gear.. most likely?). The car basically thought that I was in neutral.. although I was in gear, I would touch the gas and the RPM's would go up but the car would not move. I then moved the shifter over to D, and everything seemed normal. What could have caused this? This is the second time this has occurred.. during the process the cluster also showed "NO KEY" but then it seemed to be fine after it came out of tiptronic and was put into "D"

OP please tell me if i correctly translated your post.

Needing posts translated = Fail. haha.

Based on the corrected post, it seems to me like a software glitch of some sort. As White Lightening said, because there were no weird sounds, grinding, clunking, etc, I would think that it is fine, but worth taking to the dealer.

Lol at this thread.
