Audi drive select
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 selec t from three modes,
Comfort,
Auto
and Dynamic , using the ~:/:a button in the
center console or by using the Infotainment sys­
tem . This allows yo u to switch between a sporty
and a comfortable driving mode, for example.
Description
App lies to: ve hicles with Audi drive select
The following systems, among other things , are
influenced by drive select:
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode, the engine and auto­
matic transmission respond more quickly or in a
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements. In the sporty dynamic mode, the
transmission shifts at higher speed ranges.
Suspension control*
The adaptive dampers use sensors to record in­
formation regarding steering movements, brak­ ing and accelerat ion operations by the driver,
road surface, driv ing speed, and load . With dr ive
select, you can adjust the adaptive dampers to
sporty (dynamic), comfortable (comfort) or bal­
anced (auto).
Steering
The steering adapts in terms of steering assis­
tance . Indirect steering that moves easily as in
comfort mode is especially su ited to long drives
on a highway . In contrast, dynamic mode pro­
vides sporty, direct steeri ng.
Cornering light*
The cornering light adapts to driving on curves .
The pivoting action and the lighting also adapt to
the mode.
Assist
(D Tips
The 5 selector lever position automatically en­
gages if the dynamic mode is se lected.

cle is stationary or while driving . If traffic per­

foot off the accelerator pedal so that the recently
selected mode is also activated for the engine.

namic driving feel and is suited for everyday use .
Dynamic -gives the driver a sporty driving fee l
and is suited to a sporty driving style.

clothing, are not detected by the system .
- Senso rs and cameras have blind spots in
wh ich peop le and objects cannot be detect­
ed . Be especia lly caut ious of small children
and animals .
- The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator gr ille, bumper,
wheel housing and the unde rbody . The park­

Parking system s
Make sure the sensors are not covered by stick ­
ers, deposits or any other obstructions as it may
impair the sensor function. For informat ion on
cleaning , refer to¢
page 191.
The range at which the sensors begin to measure
is approximate ly:
side 3 ft (0.90 m)
rear center 5.2 ft (1.60 m)
The closer you get to the obsta cle, the sho rter
the interval between the audible signals . A con­
tinuous tone sounds when the obstacle is less
than approximately 1 foot (0 .30 meters) away .
Do not continue backing up¢.&

If the d istance to an obstacle remains constant,
the volume of the distance warning gradually
drops after about four seconds (this does not ap­
ply in the continuous tone range) .
The parking system activates automatically when
the reverse gear is selected. A brief confirmation
tone will sound.

Parking systems
-If the position and the installation angle of
the rearview camera was changed, for ex­
ample after a collision, do not continue to
use the system for safety reasons . Have it
checked by an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility.
- Only use the rearview camera to assist you if
it shows a good, clear picture. For example,
the image may be affected by the sun shin­
ing into the lens, dirt on the lens, or if there
is a malfunction.
- Use the rearview camera only if the luggage
compartment lid is completely closed. Make
sure any objects you may have mounted on
the luggag e compartment lid do not block
the rearview camera.
- The camera lens enlarges and distorts the
field of vision. The object appears both al­
tered and inaccurate on the screen.
- In certain situations, people or objects in the display appear closer or farther away:
- For objects that do not touch the ground,
such as the bumper of a parked vehicle, a
trailer hitch or the rear of a truck . Do not
use the orientation lines in this case.
- If driven from a level surface onto an in­
cline, or a downward slope.
- If driven toward protruding objects .
- If the vehicle is carrying too much load in
the rear .
Q) Note
-Always read and follow the applicable warn­
ings
¢ (I) in General information on
page 85.
- The orange-colored orientation lines in the
Infotainment display show the vehicle path
based on the steering wheel angle . The
front of the vehicle swings out more than
the rear of the vehicle. Maintain plenty of
distance so that an exterior mirror or a cor­
ner of the vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles.
