.,. To turn on EV mode, press the l.,,;v l button. The
indicator light in the button will turn on. The
• indicator light also turns on in the instru­
ment cluster display.
The functions and operating modes described be­
low are selected automatically by the veh icle con­
trol system, depending on the vehicle operating
status. This ensures that the vehicle is always in
the correct operating mode. One exception is the
enhanced elect ric driving mode
(E V mode), which
is activated by the driver ¢
page 101.
Driving with the combustion engine
The vehicle is powered by the combustion engine.
The high voltage battery is charged simultane­
ously, if needed.
Full acceleration (boost)
In full acceleration, the vehicle is powered by
both the combustion eng ine and the electric mo­
tor . This operating mode is called
Boost and is
only available for a short amount of time because
i t uses so much energy. Availability depends on
the high voltage battery charge level.
The boost operating mode is activated by press­ in g the accelerator peda l all the way down.
Electric driving
The vehicle can be driven completely electrically
depending on the high voltage battery charge
level and the driving res istance . The combustion
engine turns off at that t ime .
Hybrid
The combustion engine starts when accelerating
or when the high voltage battery charge level drops below a certain thresho ld. The vehicle re­
sumes electric driving once the acceleration and
the high voltage battery charge level permit .
Enhanced electric driving mode (EV mode)
Pressing the 1~· 1 button r::!> fig. 111 can extend the
usual limits on e lectric driving so that you can a l­
ways drive in electric mode, if the condition of
the electrical system permits. The operating
mode is then set to maximum electric drive @,
@ <:!> page 99, fig . 110. It can be driven com­
pletely electrically for up to 1.8 miles (3 km) at a
constant
37 mph (60 km/h).
The following conditions must be met to activate
the enhanced electric drive:
- The high voltage battery must be sufficiently
charged.
- The temperature of the
12 volt batteries and
the high voltage battery must be sufficient.
- The vehicle speed must not be higher than
62 mph (100 km/h).
- The transmission must not be in tiptronic
mode.
- Offroad mode and hill descent assist must not
be turned on

the enhanced ele ctric drive mode when the vehi­
cle is acce lerated. The gray ind icator light
I§ a l­
so turns on in the display. The enhanced electric
drive mode resumes automatica lly once accelera­
tion stops.
The enhanced electric drive mode is
deactivated
if at least one of the following conditions is met :
- The ignition is turned off.
- The
l~ ·I button is pressed aga in.
- The high voltage battery charge level is low .
- The vehicle speed is higher than approximately
62 mph (100 km/h) .

Audi drive select
Driving settings
Introduction
Applies to veh icles: w ith Audi drive select
Drive select provides the possibility to experience
d ifferent types of vehicle settings in one vehicle.
F or instance, using the three
Comfort, Auto and
Dynamic modes, the driver can switch from a
sporty to a comfortable driving mode with the press of a button.
Addit ionally, in vehicles with MM I*, the vehicle
setup for
Individual* mode can be customized by
you. This makes it possible to combine settings
such as a sporty engine tuning with comfortable
steering .
A WARNING
-
Improper use of the drive select can cause
collisions, other accidents and serious person­
al injury.
Description
Applies to veh icles: w ith Audi dr ive select
The vehicle setup in each mode depends on the
veh icle's features . However, the engine, automat­
ic transmission and steering are always involved.
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode, the engine and the au­
tomatic transmission respond quicker or in a
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements. In the sporty dynamic mode, the au­
tomatic transmission shifts at higher RPMs.
Steering
The steering adapts in terms of steering effort and steering ratios. Indirect steer ing that moves
easily, like the steering in comfort mode, is best
suited to long drives on a highway. In contrast,
dynamic mode provides sporty, direct stee ring.
The follow ing applies to vehicles with dynam ic
steer ing*: the steering ratio changes based on ve­
h icle speed in order to maintain optimum steer­
ing effort for the dr iver at all times. This sets the
s teer ing to be less sensitive at higher speeds in
120
order to provide improved vehicle control. At re ­
duced speeds, however, steering is more direct in
order to keep the steer ing effort as m inima l as
possib le when the driver is maneuvering the vehi­
cle. At low and average speeds, dynamic steering
additionally provides more responsive steering
performance.
Adaptive dampers*
The adaptive dampers* use sensors to record in­
formation regarding steering movements, brak­ ing and acceleration operations by the driver,
road surface, driving speed, and load. This makes
i t possible to adapt damp ing to the driving situa­
tion virtually in real t ime . Drive select also makes
i t possible to sat isfy the desire fo r sporty suspen­
s ion (Dynamic) and comfortable suspension
(Comfo rt) without giving up ba lanced tuning (Au­
to).
Engine sound*
T he sound of the engine is adapted to the select­
ed mode and ranges from subtle to sporty.
Adaptive cruise control*
The behavior when accelerating can be adjusted
from comfortable to sporty, depending on the
drive select mode . Adaptive cruise control a lso
r esponds to the driving behavior of the vehicle
ahead in a more conse rvative or sporty manner.
@ Tips
- In some models, the maximum vehicle
speed can only be reached in the
Auto and
Dynamic modes.
- Selecting the
Dynamic mode resu lts in spor­
ty shifting characteristics. The 5 gear pos i­
tion engages automatical ly.
- In vehicl es that have dynamic stee ring*, op­
erating noise is heard when starting or stop­
ping the engine. This does not indicate a
problem .
