DCT limitations are covered about page 49 in the owners manual. You will find several helpful tips in that section.

You can deactivate Low Speed Assistant by braking to a full stop.
Also there is a warning not to ride the brake pedal while using Low Speed Assistant.

This is the same as a manual transmission clutch except that it is cooled by the transmission fluid and the temp sensor is able to warn us about an over heat condition. When the Low Speed Assistant is being used the clutch is slipped to allow the vehicle to move slowly in stop and go traffic. With a manual transmission clutch you would fully release (pedal down) most of the time and not slip the clutch on hills to prevent rolling backward. Full release is achieved by a full braking stop with the DCT system.
