.. Set the parking brake.
.. With the driving gear selected, press the accel­
erator pedal carefully. The parking brake will
re l
ease automatically if your safety belt is fas­
tened.
Under certain circumstances, such as driving in
the mountains, it may be useful to switch tempo­
rarily
to the manual shift program in order to
manually adjust the gears to the driving condi­
tions¢ page 68.
When parking on a level surface, simply place the
selector lever in the P position. On inclines, acti­
vate the parking brake first and then move the
selector lever to the P position ¢ page 61. This
prevents the loc kin g mechanism from being
loaded too heavily and will make it easier to
move the selector lever out of the P position.
A WARNING
-The vehicle can roll even when the engine is
switched off.
-Unintended vehicle movement can lead to
serious injuri es.
- Never leave
your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear. If you must leave
your vehicle when the engine is running , set
the parking brake and move the selector lev­
er to the P position.
- Power is still
transferred to the wheels
when the engine is running at idle. To pre­
vent the ve hicle from "creeping", you must
keep your foot on the brake when the en­
gine is running and the selector lever is in
the D, Sor R position or "tiptronic" mode is
selected.
-Do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stationary. Other­
wise the vehicle will start to move immedi­
ately, even if the parking brake is set. T his
could resu
lt in a crash.
-
Do not press the accelerator pedal when
changing the selector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
running .
Automatic transmission
-Never engage the R or P selector level posi­
tions while driving. It could cause a crash .
- Before driving
down a steep slope, reduce
your speed and shift into a lower gear with
"ti ptronic".
-Do not ride the brakes or press the brake
pedal too often or too long when driving
down a hill. Constant braking causes the
brakes to overheat and substantially re­
duces braking performance, increases brak­
ing
distance or causes complete failure of
the brake system.
-If you must stop on an incline, always hold
the vehicle in place with the foot brake or
parking brake to prevent it from rolling
back.
- N
ever hold the vehicle on an incline with a
slipping clutch. The
clutch opens automati­
cally when it becomes too hot from the
overload. The mJ indicator light turns on
and a message appears¢ page 70 when
the clutch is overloaded.
-If the engine must run while you are work­
ing
in the engine compartment with the
hood open, make sure a gear is not engag­
ed. The selector lever must be firmly in the
P position and loc ked in place and the park­
ing brake must be set¢ page 236. Other­
wise, the vehicle could begin moving when
increasing the engine speed, even with the
parking brake set.
@Note
-When stopping on an incline, do not try to
hold the veh icle in place by pressing the ac­
celerator pedal while a driving gear is se­
lected. This can cause the automatic trans­
mission to overheat and can damage it. Ac­
tivate the parking brake or press the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
- Allowing
the vehicle to roll when the engine
is stopped and the selector lever is in the N
position will
damage the automatic trans­
mission because it is not lubricated under
those circumstances.

-The transmission can overheat and be dam­
aged under certain driving and traffic condi­
tions such as frequent starts, creeping for a
l
ong time, or stop-and-go traffic. When the
@]or. indicator light turns on, stop the
vehicle at the next opportunity and let the
transmission cool r::!;> page 70.
- Allowing the veh icle to roll when the engine
is stopped will damage the S troni c trans­
mission because it is not lubricated
r::!;> page 290, Towing with a tow truck.
@ Tips
For
safety reasons, the parking brake is re­
leased automatically only when the driver's
safety belt is engaged i n the buckle.
Hill descent control
The hill descent control system assists the driv­
ing when driving down declines .
Hill descent control is activated when the selec­
tor lever is in the Dor S position and you press
the brake pedal. The transmission automatically
selects a gear that is suitable for the incline. Hill
descent control tries to maintain the speed ach­
ieved at the time of braking, within physical and
technical
limitations. If may still be necessary to
adj ust the speed with the brakes. Because hill de­
scent control cannot shift down farther than 3rd
gear, it may be necessary to shift into tiptronic
mode in very steep areas. In this case, shift into
1st or 2nd gear in tiptronic mode to use the en­
g ine 's braki ng force to relieve the brakes.
Hill
descent control switches off once the decline
levels
out or you press the accelerator pedal.
On vehicles with a cruise control system*
r::!;> page 72, hill descent control is also activated
when the speed is set.
A WARNING
Hill descent control cannot overcome physical
limitations,
so it may not be able to maintain
a
constant speed under all conditions. Always
be ready to apply the brakes.

transmission only allows manual shifting
when
the engine speed is within the permitted
rang e.
(D Tips
-If you shift to the next lowest gear, the
transmission will only shift if the engine will
not be over-rewed.
- With kick-down, the transmission shifts to a
lower
gear, depending on vehicle speed and
engine speed.
-tiptronic does not work if the transmission
is running in emergency mode.
Kick-down
Kick-down enables maximum acceleration.
When you press the accelerator pedal down be­
yond
the resistance point, the automatic trans­
mission downshifts into a lower gear, depending
on vehicle speed and engine RPM. It shifts up in­
to the next higher gear once the max imum speci­
fied
engine RPM is reached.
A WARNING
Please note that the wheels could spin on
s
lick or slippery roads when kick-down is ac­
tive.

collisions, other accidents and serious inju­
ries.
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
The vehicle setup in each mode depends on the
vehicle's features. However, the engine and
steering are always affected.
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode, the engine and auto­
matic transmission respond more quickly or i n a
more balanced
manner to accelerator pedal
movements.
Adaptive dampers (Audi magnetic ride)*
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. With dri ve
select, you can adjust the adaptive dampers to
sporty (dynamic), comfortable (comfort) or ba l­
anced (auto).
Steering
The power steering adapts. Indirect steering that
moves easily as in comfort mode is especially
suited to long drives on a highway. The dynamic
mode provides sporty, direct steering.
Cruise control system*
The acceleration performance is especially fuel­
efficient in efficiency* mode.
Engine sound*
The engine sound is adapted to the applied mode
and can be subtle to sporty.
@ Tips
In some models, the maximum vehicle speed
can only be reached in the auto and dynamic
modes.
