You can improve your fuel economy and help to
reduce emissions by using a combination of the
coasting mode (i.e. coasting with low fuel con­
sumption on a longer stretch of road) and the
overrun fuel cut-off (i.e. using the engine brak­
ing effect with no fuel consumption on a shorter
stretch of road).
A WARNING
- If you are approaching an obstruction when
coasting mode is switched on, please re­
member that the vehicle will not slow down
as quickly as usual when you take your foot
off the accelerator -risk of accident!

conditions.
- Only use the launch control programme
when road and traffic conditions permit,
and make sure your manner of driving and
accelerating the vehicle does not inconven­
ience or endanger other road users.
- Please note that the driven wheels may
start to spin when the sport mode is switch­

gramme places a heavy load on all parts of
the vehicle. This can result in increased wear
and tear.
Back-up programme
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
A back-up programme is in place should a fault
occur in the control system.

torway exit Lane or pass through roadwork
sections, please temporarily switch off the
cruise control system.
- Make sure you do not unintentionally rest
your foot on the accelerator -this will over­
ride the cruise control system which, as a re­
sult, will not brake the vehicle.
- The automatic braking function may be de­
activated if a system fault occurs in the
brake system (e.g. if the brakes overheat)
while the cruise control system is activated.
All the other cruise control functions remain
activated as Long as the indicator Lamp ii is
Lit.
CD CAUTION
Before driving down a Long, steep gradient, it
is advisable to reduce speed and move these­
lector Lever to a Lower gear. In this way you
will make use of the engine braking effect and
relieve the Load on the brakes.
w) Note
- Vehicles with manual gearbox: The set
speed cannot be reached if the currently se­
lected gear is too high or too Low or if the
engine would overrev or fail to run smoothly
at the target speed. Make sure to change up

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.
Engine and automatic gearbox*
The response of the engine and automatic gear­
box* to accelerator pedal movements will be
more spontaneous or balanced, depending on
which mode you select. In efficiency* mode the

formation on steering movements, braking and
acceleration input by the driver, road surface
quality, road speed and vehicle Loading. With
drive select you can choose between dynamic and
comfort-oriented suspension set-ups (dynamic

The air conditioner runs in a particularly econom­
ical mode when the efficiency* setting is selec­
ted. When this function is selected, eco* is shown
in the display of the automatic air conditioner.
