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 �.:i.l\:'I 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.
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
automatic gearbox* selects the next gear at low
er engine speeds and the coasting mode is activa-
100 ted
¢ page 82. This helps to reduce fuel con
sumption.
Suspension control (Audi magnetic ride)*
The suspension control uses sensors to collect in
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
and comfort modes), or opt for a more balanced
set-up (auto mode).
Steering
The degree of power assistance can be varied.
The light, indirect steering response in comfort
mode is particularly suitable on long motorway
trips, for instance. The steering has a tighter,
more direct feel in dynamic mode.
Air conditioner*
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.
Cruise control system*
The acceleration response is particularly econom
ical in efficiency* mode.
Engine sound*
The sound of the engine is matched to the selec
ted mode and ranges from subdued to dynamic.
(QJ} Note
- On some models the vehicle's maximum
speed can only be obtained in the auto and
dynamic modes.
- On vehicles with manual gearbox, an E ap
pears in the gear-change indicator when ef
ficiency* mode is activated.
-Applies to vehicles with manual gearbox: If
you press the accelerator right down past
the point of resistance in efficiency* mode,
the engine power is automatically control
led to give your vehicle maximum accelera-
tion. ..,.

CX) Telephone
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with telephone
You have different options for making calls in
your vehicle via the MMI; this depends on your
vehicle's equipment and the features of your mo
bile phone.
Handsfree operation
After connecting your mobile phone to the MMI
system via Bluetooth, you can operate the hands
free system and the telephone functions conven
iently via the MMI. Your phone calls will be made
via the antenna of your mobile phone.
With the Audi phone box*, you can use the vehi
cle's external aerial to make calls. The use of the
external aerial reduces radiation in the vehicle
and also ensures better reception quality
¢page 146.
Car phone d
)
As part of Audi connect*, the Audi phone box* in
cludes a car telephone function which can be
used via a separate mini SIM card in the SIM card
reader* or an rSAP 2
>-enabled mobile phone. With
the car telephone function, you can use the vehi
cle's external aerial to make calls. The use of the
external aerial reduces radiation in the vehicle
and also ensures better reception quality
¢page 146.
Once a connection has been established success
fully, you can also change the profiles at a later
time. Refer to¢ page 213, Connection manag
er.
A WARNING
- According to health organisations, mobile
phones may interfere with the function of
pacemakers. A minimum distance of 20 cm
should be kept between the mobile phone
aerial and the pacemaker.
l) Not available in all markets. On vehicles with Audi con
nect* and Audi phone box*
2 > Remote SIM Access Profile Telephone
- Do not carry a mobile phone in your breast
pocket directly over the pacemaker when
the phone is switched on.
- If you suspect interference, switch the
mobile phone off immediately.
- The speech dialogue system*¢ page 133
must not be used in cases of emergency,
since the voice changes in stressful situa
tions. This could result in a failed or delayed
telephone connection. Always dial emergen
cy numbers manually!
- Switch off your mobile phones in all areas
where there may be a risk of explosion. Re
member that these areas may not always be
adequately marked. Such places are filling
stations, fuel and chemical storage facilities
or transport vehicles and other places where
fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking pro
pane or fuel vapours in vehicles or build
ings) or large quantities of dust particles
(e.g. from flour, wood or metal) could accu
mulate in the air. This warning also applies
to all other places where you would normal
ly switch off your engine.
- Today's driving conditions require the full
attention of drivers. Please always note the
information in the chapter ¢page 121,
Notes on traffic safety.
CD CAUTION
Please always observe the information ¢(Din
Wi-Fi hotspot on page 166.
- For information regarding which Bluetooth
connections and functions your mobile
phone supports, contact your mobile net

Fuel Petrol grade
Applies to: vehicles with petrol engine
The correct grade of petrol is Listed inside the
fuel tank flap.
The vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter
and must only be run on unleaded petrol. Petrol
must be sulphur-free and must comply with the
EN 228 standard. You can fuel your vehicle with
fuels containing a maximum of 10% ethanol
(ElO). The petrol grades have different octane
ratings (RON).
The following headings relate to the sticker on
the inside of your vehicle's tank flap:
Unleaded fuel only RON/ROZ 95 Super,
Premium or min. RON/ROZ 91 Normal
The use of premium petrol (95 RON) is recom
mended. If that type of fuel is not available, reg
ular petrol (RON 91) can be used with a slight
loss of power.
Unleaded fuel only, min. RON/ROZ 95
Super, Premium
Premium petrol (at least 95 RON) must be used.
If premium petrol is not available, the engine can
be run on regular petrol with 91 RON as an emer
gency measure. In this case only use moderate
engine speeds and a light throttle. Fill up with
premium or Super Plus petrol as soon as possi
ble.
Unleaded fuel only RON/ROZ 98 Super Plus
or min. RON/ROZ 95 Super, Premium
The use of Super Plus petrol (98 RON) is recom
mended. If that type of fuel is not available, pre
mium petrol (RON 95) can be used with a slight
loss of power.
If premium petrol is not available, the engine can
be run on regular petrol with 91 RON as an emer
gency measure. In this case only use moderate
engine speeds and a light throttle. Fill up with Checking
and topping up fluids
premium or Super Plus petrol as soon as possi
ble.
CD CAUTION
- Do NOT fuel your vehicle with high-ethanol
fuel blends (e.g. ESQ or E85). This will dam
age the fuel system.
- Just one tank of leaded fuel or fuel with
metallic additives will permanently impair
the efficiency of the catalytic converter.
- You should use only petrol additives which
have been approved by Audi. Additives with
so-called octane boosters or antiknock addi
tives can contain metallic additives that
cause significant damage to the engine and
the catalytic converter. Do not use such ad
ditives.
- Metal-based fuels, which can be identified
from the marking on the fuel dispenser,
must not be used. LRP fuel (lead replace
ment petrol) also contains high concentra
tions of metallic additive. Risk of engine
damage!
- High engine speed and full throttle can
damage the engine when using petrol with
an octane rating lower than the correct
grade for the engine.
((D Note
- You can use higher octane fuel than your en
gine requires.
- In countries where sulphur-free fuel is not
available, you may use low-sulphur fuel in
stead.
Diesel fuel
Applies to: vehicles
with
diesel engine
Please note the information on the inside of the
fuel tank flap.
The use of sulphur-free diesel complying with
the EN 590 standard is recommended.
Diesel can thicken at very low temperatures,
which can result in problems starting the engine
or prevent the engine from running smoothly.
For this reason, filling stations in some countries
offer winter-grade diesel fuel during the cold 1)11,,
