rl1 Not ready: the indicator light turns on if the
system is switched on but is inoperable. This may
be
due to the following reasons:
- There
is no lane boundary line.
-
The relevant lane marker lines are not detected
(for example, markings in a construction zone
or because they
are obstructed by snow, dirt,
water or lighting).
- The vehicle
speed is below the activation speed
of approximately 40 mph (65 km/h) (the speed
may vary depending on your country).
- The lane

Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
Drive select makes it possible to experience dif
ferent types of vehicle settings in one vehicle.
The driver can
select from three modes, Comfort,
Auto and Dynamic, using the~.~;\,~ button in the
center console or by using the Infotainment sys
tem. This allows you to switch between a sporty
and a comfortable driving mode, for example. In
the Individual mode, the settings can be adjust
ed to your personal preferences. This makes it
possible to combine settings such as a sporty en-

& WARNING
Using Audi drive select incorrectly can lead to
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.

Intelligent Technology
Electronic stabilization
control (ESC)
· Description
The Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) reinfor
ces driver safety. It reduces the risk of slipping
and improves driving stability.
ESC detects criti
cal situations such
as the vehicle oversteering
and understeering or the wheels are spinning.
The vehicle
is stabilized by applying the brakes or
reducing engine torque. Once the ESC is activat
ed,
the indicator light DJ blinks in the instru
ment cluster.
The following systems are integrated in the ESC:
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking when brak
ing. The vehicle
can still be steered even during
hard braking. Apply steady pressure
to the brake
pedal.
Do not pump the pedal. A pulsing in the
brake pedal indicates that the system is acting to
stabilize the vehicle .
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can decrease braking dis
tance.
It increases braking power when the driver
presses
the brake pedal quickly in emergency sit
uations .
You must press and hold the brake pedal
until the dangerous situation is over.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
ASR reduces engine power when the drive wheels
begin spinning and adapts
the force to the road
conditions. This makes
it easie r to start, acceler
ate and drive up inclines.
Electron ic differential lock (EDL)
EDL applies the brakes to a wheel that starts
spinning and transfers
the drive power to the
other driving wheels. This function is not availa
ble
at higher speeds.
In extreme cases, EDL automatically switches off
to keep the brake on the braked wheel from over
heating . The vehicle
is still working correctly. EDL
Intelligent Technology
will switch on again automatically when condi
tions have returned
to normal.
Steering recommendation
The ESC helps to stabilize the vehicle by changing
the steering torque.
Selective wheel torque control
Selective wheel torque control is used when driv
ing on curves. The
front wheel on the inside of
the curve or both wheels on the inside of the
curve are braked selectively as needed. This al
lows more preci
se driving in curves . The applica
ble system may
not activate when driving in wet
or snowy condit ions.
Automatic post-collision braking system
The "Automatic post-collision braking system"
can help to reduce the risk of sliding and of other
collisions after an accident. If the airbag control
module detects a collision above a certain vehicle
speed,
the vehicle is braked by the ESC.
The vehicle does not brake automatically if:
-the driver presses the accelerator pedal, or
-the braking force generated by the pressed
brake pedal
is greater than the braking force
that would be initiated by the system, or
-the ESC, the brake system or the vehicle electri
cal system are not functioning.
A WARNING ,..:-
-The ESC and its integrated systems cannot
overcome
the limits posed by natura l physi
cal laws. This is especially important on slip
pery o r wet roads. If the systems begin act
ing
to stabilize your vehicle, you should im
mediately alter your speed to match the
road and traffic conditions. Do not let the
increased safety provided tempt you into
taking risks. This could increase your risk of
a collision.
- Please note
the risk of a collision increases
when driving fast, especially through curves
and on slippery
or wet roads, and when driv-
ing
too close to objects ahead. The ESC and .,..
