co nsole: Sw itch for
A udi m agn etic ride
Press the switch ~ fig. 83 to turn sport setting on or off.
Audi magnetic ride is an e lectronically controlled damping system.
This chassis system assists the driver by adap ting to the particular
situation through imperceptib le control processes. The
damping
provides individua l modulation of damp ing forces. For example,
with damping characteristics set to provide greater comfort ,
damping is set somewhat harder for a brief period only as required,
when rounding a curve and when braking .
Standard setting
Select the standard setting if you prefer a suspension setting
emphasizing comfort .
Spo rt setting
Se lect the sport setting if you prefer a sporty suspension setting .
The LED in the switch comes on to indicate sport setting.
[ i ] Tip s
The warning/indicator light in the ins trument cluster comes on in
the event of a malfunction. Drive to the c losest authori zed Audi
dea ler as soon as possible and have the malfunction repaired. •

& W ARNING !continued )
• If you have to bring your vehi cle to a stop while on an incline ,
keep the foot bra ke depressed all the way down so that the vehicle
does not start to roll backward . You should never hold the vehicle
using the clutch pedal if you are going to be stopped on an incline.
If you do, the clutch will start to slip when it overheats caused by
the constant overload. This is dangerous because if the vehicle starts to roll backward , you could cause an accident. If the clutch
should start to slip , you will feel the vehicle "jerk" and the selector
lever display will start blinking .
• Before driving down a steep slope , reduce your speed and shift
into a lower gear w ith utiptroni c".
• Do not ride the brakes or apply the brake pedal too often or too
long . Constant braking causes the brakes to overheat and
substantially reduces braking performance , increases braking
distance or causes complete failure of the brake system . •
