Audi drive select
The control is located on the shift gate:::::, fig. 142 in vehic les
with a radio, and in vehicles with
MMI*, it is located in the
center console :::::, fig . 143 .
- Turn on the ignition.
- Press the left or right arrow button until the desired mode
appears in red.
You can change the driv ing mode when the vehicle is stationary or
w hil e driving. If traffic permits, after chan ging modes, briefly take
your foot off the accelerator pedal so that the recently selected mode
is also activated for the eng ine and transmission .
COMFORT
The COMFORT mode prov ides a comfo rtable vehi cle se tting . The
engine and automatic t ransm ission * respond in a balanced manner
when the accelerator pedal is pressed or released. Steering is light
and ind irect*, and adaptive dampers* provide a soft suspension . The
setting is ideal for driving on long stretches , such as on freeways.
AUTO
Full use of AUTO provides a comfortable, yet dynamic feel. The
sett ing is perfect for daily use .
DYNAMIC
DYNAMIC gives the vehicle a sporty feeling. The eng ine responds
quickly to accelerator pedal movements, and steer ing is sporty and
more direct. The adap tive dampers* are adjus ted to provide a stiffer
suspension and the automatic t ransmission* sh ifts at higher RPMs.
The setting is ideal for sporty driving .
INDIVIDUAL*
You can adap t this mode to your personal needs in the
MMI* =>
page 149.

Transmission Ill _______________ ___.
Before you move the selector lever to R, press both the button in the
hand le of the se lec tor lever
and the brake peda l at the same t ime .
When the ignition is on, the backup lights illuminate when the
selector lever is moved into
R .
N -Neutral
The transmission is in neutral in this position. Sh ift to th is position
for standing with the brakes applied~
page 153.
When the vehicle is stationary or at speeds below 3 mph (5 km/h) ,
you must always apply the footbrake before and wh ile moving the
lever out of
N .
D -Normal po sition for driving forw ard
Posit ion Dis for normal city and highway driving. It ranges from zero
to top speed and al l gears shift automatically, depending on engine
load, driving speed and automatically selected shift programs .
When the vehicle is stat ionary or at speeds below 3 mph (5 km/h),
you must always apply the foot brake before and while moving the lever to
D out o f N.
In certa in circumstances it may be advantageous to temporarily
switch to the manual shift program to manually select gear rat ios to
match specific driving conditions~
page 155.
S -Sport position *
Select this position for sportie r performance. In this position, the
transm ission will not upsh ift as soon, allowing the vehicle to use the
increased power available at higher eng ine speeds to ach ieve livelier
acceleration .
When the vehicle is stat ionary o r at speeds be low 3 mph (5 km/h),
you must always apply the foot brake before and while moving the lever to
S out of N .

Automatic selector lever lock
The selector lever is locked in the P and N positions when the ignition
is turned on . To move the lever from these positions the driver must
depress the brake pedal. As a reminder to the driver, the following
warning appears in the instrument cluster display when the selector
is in
P and N:
When stationary apply footbrake while selecting gear
A time delay element prevents the selector lever from locking when
it is moved through the
N position (going from R to D). The locking
element will lock the selector lever if the lever is left in N (Neutral) for
more than approximately 1 second, without the brake pedal being
pressed .
At speeds above about 3 mph (5 km/h) the Automatic Shift Lock is
automatically deactivated in the
N position.
Interlock button
The lock button on the selector lever prevents the lever from being
accidentally shifted into ce rtain positions. Pressing this button deac­
tivates the selector lever lock. Depending on the direction of the
shift, the selector lever locks at different positions . The positions are
highlighted in the illustration ~
page 153, fig. 147.
Ignition key safety interlock
The key cannot be removed from the ignition unless the selector lever
is in the
P park position . When the ignition key is removed, the
selector lever will be locked in the
P position. •
Applies to vehicle s: with au toma tic tr ansm is si on
Kick-down
The kick-down feature allows the vehicle to generate
maximum acceleration.
When you press the accelerator pedal beyond the resistance point
that is reached at full throttle, the transmission will select a lower
gear ratio based on vehicle speed and engine RPM . The engine RPM will be controlled to produce maximum vehicle acceleration as
long
as you continue to press the accelerator pedal beyond this resistance
point .
& WARNING
Be careful when using the kick-down feature on slippery roads.
Rapid acceleration may cause the vehicle to skid. •
Applies to ve hicles : with automatic t ransm iss ion
Dynamic shift program (DSP)
The automatic transmission is electronically controlled.
The transmission is self adapting and will automatically select the
best shift program suited to the driving conditions and driving style .
The transmission will select one of the
economy programs when you
drive at a steady speed or a gradually changing speed without heavy
acceleration . This achieves optimum fuel efficiency, with early
upshifting and delayed downshifting.
The transmission will automatically select the
sporty shift programs
when you drive at higher speeds, or with heavy acceleration and
frequently changing speeds. Upshifts are delayed to make full use of
engine power . Downshifting takes place at higher engine speeds than
in the economy programs.
The selection of the most suitable shift program is a continuous,
automatic process . The driver can also make the transmission switch
to a sporty program by
quickly pressing down the gas pedal.
This causes the transmission to shift down to a lower gear to achieve rapid acceleration, e.g. for quickly passing another vehicle. You do
not need to press the gas pedal into the kick -down range. After the
transmission has upshifted, the original program is selected
according to your driving style.
An additional shift program allows the automatic transmission to
select the proper gear for uphill and downhill gradients.

& WARNING
• Sens ors have dead space s in whi ch objects cannot be dete cted.
Be especi ally alert for small children and animals , since they are
not alway s detected by the sen sors.
• The acou stic parking system is not a substitute for the dr iver 's

Switching on/off
The rear view camera switches on automatically together
with the acoustic park assist when you put the vehicle in
reverse.
Switching on
- Put the vehicle in reverse gear, the acoustic parking
system with rear view camera is activa ted automatically .
Activation of the acoustic parking system is confirmed by
a brief acknowledgement sound.
Switching off
-Drive faster than 6 mph (10 km/h), or
- take the vehicle out of reverse gear. The acoustic parking
system is immediately deactivated, and the rear view
camera picture is deact ivated automatically after a period
of about 15 seconds, or
- switch off the ignition.
T he delay in deactivating the camera provides an uninterrupted view
behind the vehicle espec ially when maneuver ing in tight parking
spaces and prevents the picture from tu rning off the every time you
shift out of reverse .
