Audi drive select (vehicle
set-up functions)
Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with Audi drive select
Drive select allows you to use different set-ups on
your vehicle. The four modes efficiency*, com­
fort, auto and dynamic allow the driver, for ex­
ample, to change from a sporty mode to a more
comfortable one via the �:11
� button in the centre
console or via the infotainment system. In addi­
tion, the individual mode allows you to adapt the
vehicle set-up to suit your personal driving style.
For example, you might choose to combine a
more dynamic engine set-up with a lighter steer­
ing response.
Description
Applies to vehicles: with Audi drive select
The possible vehicle set-up in each mode de­
pends on which equipment is installed on your
vehicle. The engine and steering are basic parts
of your vehicle which are always included in the
set-up.

aids
General notes
Applies to vehicles: with rear parking aid/parking system
plus/park assist
Various systems are available to help you when
parking or manoeuvring in tight spaces, depend­
ing on the equipment fitted on your vehicle.
The rear parking aid gives an acoustic warning if
there are any obstacles behind the car
¢page 93.
When you are parking, the parking system plus
warns you acoustically and optically about obsta­
cles detected in front of and behind the vehicle
¢ page 94. On vehicles with park assist, the
area detected at the side of the vehicle ®
¢page 94, Fig. 101 is also monitored.
The park assist helps you to find suitable parking
spaces, to manoeuvre the vehicle into spaces par­
allel or perpendicular to the roadside and to drive
out of spaces parallel to the kerb ¢ page 95.
.&_ WARNING
- Always watch the road and the area sur­
rounding the vehicle. The electronic systems
cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and all other manoeu­
vres.
- Please note that certain surfaces, such as
clothing fabrics, cannot be detected or dis­
played by the system -risk of accident!
- Sensors have blind spots in which neither
people nor objects are registered. It is par­
ticularly important to ensure that there are
no small children or animals near the vehi­
cle -risk of accident!
- Always keep a close watch on the area
around the vehicle and make full use of the
rear-view mirrors.
CD CAUTION
- The system may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as the following:
- Chains, trailer draw bars, posts or fences Parking
aids
- Objects above the sensors, such as wall
protrusions, etc.
- Objects with certain surfaces or struc­
tures, such as wire fences or powder snow
- As your car moves closer to low obstacles,
they may disappear from the sensors' field
of vision. Please note that you will no longer
be warned about these obstacles.
- Impacts or damage to the radiator grille,
bumper, wheel arches or underbody can
cause misalignment of the sensors. This can
impair the effectiveness of the parking aids.
Have the systems checked by a qualified
workshop.
{D) Note
- In certain situations, a warning may be giv­
en by the system even if there is no obstacle
within range of the sensors. This can be
caused by the following, for instance:
- Certain road surfaces or long grass
- External ultrasound sources, e.g. from
street cleaning vehicles
- Heavy rain or snow or dense exhaust
fumes
- To familiarise yourself with the system, we
recommend that you practise parking in a
quiet location or a car park. The weather
and light conditions should be good.
- You can adjust the volume of the beeps.
- To ensure that the acoustic parking aid
works properly, the sensors must be kept
clean and free of snow and ice.
- There is a slight delay in the picture display.

out of spaces parallel to the kerb. The parking
space can be located between two vehicles or be­
hind one vehicle. The park assist takes over the
steering while the driver is parking the vehicle in
the usual way.
The parking system plus is an integral compo­
nent of the park assist ¢ page 94 and helps you
during the parking manoeuvre.
The park assist sensors are located on the sides
of the front and rear bumpers. Please ensure that
the sensors are kept free of stickers, deposits and
any other substances which could impair the
function of the system. Notes on cleaning
¢page 236.
In short parking spaces, the parking aid warning
tone will sound continuously when the vehicle is
less than approx. 0.20 m away from the obstacle.
Stop moving immediately!
A WARNING
- Please observe the safety warnings ¢ & in
General notes on page 93.
- Please note that the park assist only han­
dles the steering. As the driver you are al­
ways responsible for braking and accelerat­
ing.
- It is the driver's responsibility to decide
whether a parking space shown in the dis­
play is suitable for the vehicle.
- The front of the vehicle swings out during
the parking manoeuvre. Please take all nec­
essary measures to ensure that other road
users are not endangered.
- The steering wheel turns rapidly on its own
when parking the vehicle and leaving the
space. Injury may result if a person reaches
between the spokes on the steering wheel
when it is turning.
CD CAUTION
- Please observe the safety warnings ¢0 in
General notes on page 93.
- In certain situations, the park assist will
guide the vehicle onto or across the kerb,
for instance if other vehicles are parked on
the kerb. You should always be ready to take
96 over
the steering wheel in order to prevent
damage to the tyres and/or wheel rims.
- Certain conditions in and around the park­
ing space can cause unexpected results
when parking.
- Objects such as pillars, posts, etc.
Road surfaces such as loose gravel, snow,
ice, etc.
CD CAUTION
- The sensors may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as trailer draw bars, thin
rails, fences, posts, waste bins and trees,
etc. This could result in damage to your car.
- Please note that the system may not always
be able to detect the surface of certain ob­
jects or substances, such as wire fences or
powder snow, etc. You should therefore
check that the parking space is really large
enough before parking the vehicle.
- Please note that low obstacles detected by
the system may no longer be registered by
the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
system will not give any further warning.
Failure to respond to a parking system
warning can result in damage to your vehi­
cle and other property. Please bear this in
mind, for example, when using the park as­
sist to park behind a truck. Always keep a
close watch on the area in front of and be­
hind the vehicle while parking, and inter­
vene promptly if necessary.
- To prevent damage to the sensors when
washing the vehicle with a high-pressure
cleaner or a steam cleaner, do not hold the
cleaner less than 10 cm away from the sen­
sors and do not keep the cleaner pointed di­
rectly at the sensors.
({D Note
- The electronic stabilisation control (ES()
must not be switched off during the parking
manoeuvre ¢page 104.

106 Power
management
This system helps to ensure reliable
starting
The power management controls the distribu­
tion of electrical energy and thus helps to ensure
that
there
is always enough power available to
start the engine.
If a vehicle with a conventional electrical system
is left parked for a long time, the battery will
gradually lose its charge because certain electri­
cal equipment (such as the immobiliser) contin­
ues to draw current even when the ignition is off.
In some cases there may not be enough power
available to start the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent pow­
er management system to control the distribu­
tion of electrical energy. This significantly im­
proves reliability when starting the engine, and
also prolongs the life of the battery.
The main functions incorporated in the power
management system are battery diagnosis, re­
sidual current management and dynamic power
management.
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis function constantly regis­
ters the condition of the battery. Sensors detect
the battery voltage, battery current and battery
temperature. This enables the system to calcu­
late the current power level and charge condition
of the battery.
Residual current management
The residual current management reduces power
consumption while the vehicle is parked. It con­
trols the supply of power to the various electrical
components while the ignition is switched off.
The system takes the battery diagnosis data into
consideration.
Depending on the power level of the battery, the
individual electrical components are switched off
one after the other to prevent the battery from
losing too much charge and to ensure that the
engine can be started reliably.

Fastening rings
Unsecured loads are a hazard to all vehicle occu­
pants.
Fig. 180 Location of fastening rings in luggage compart­
ment
.,. Use the fastening rings to secure items safely in
the luggage compartment ¢ A in Luggage
compartment on page 201.
During a collision or an accident, even small and
light objects can possess so much energy that
they can cause very severe injuries. The amount
of this "kinetic energy" depends on the speed of
the vehicle and the weight of the object. The
most significant factor, however, is the speed of
the vehicle.
For example: an object weighing 4.5 kg is lying
unsecured in the vehicle. During a frontal colli­
sion at a speed of SO km/h, this object generates
a force corresponding to 20 times its weight.
That means that the effective weight of the ob­
ject increases to about 90 kg. You can imagine
the severity of the injuries which might be sus­
tained if this "projectile" strikes an occupant as it
flies through the passenger compartment.
A WARNING
If items of luggage or other objects are se­
cured to the fastening rings with inappropri­
ate or damaged tensioning straps, injuries
could result in the event of sudden braking or
a collision.
- To prevent pieces of luggage or other ob­
jects from flying forward, always use appro­
priate tensioning straps which are properly
secured to the fastening rings.
202 -
Never secure a child seat on the fastening
rings.
Pedestrian protection
system
Description
Applies to vehicles: with pedestrian protection system
The pedestrian protection system will automati­
cally be activated when the front of the vehicle
collides with a pedestrian. The bonnet is raised
several centimetres to create an additional crush
zone above the engine.
The sensors of the pedestrian protection system
are located in the front bumper. In rare cases, the
system can be triggered because the possibility
that a pedestrian has been hit cannot be ruled
out by the sensors, for example:
- in a coll ision with a street post,
- in a collision with an animal, or
- if you drive into a pile of snow, or
- in the event of ground contact, e.g. when driv-
ing on extremely poor road surfaces.
If the system has been activated, press the bon­
net back into its original position¢&. in Servic­
ing the pedestrian protection system on
page 203 and have the system serviced by a
qualified workshop.
.&_ WARNING
- Never change or replace the bumper or bon­
net as a part of tuning measures. This can
impair the effectiveness of the pedestrian
protection system and invalidate the operat­
ing permit for your vehicle. The manufactur­
er cannot be held liable for damage which
occurs as a result of failure to comply with
these stipulations, and such damage is not
covered under warranty.
- False activation of the pedestrian protection
system is possible.
