Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
Drive select provides the possibility to experience
d ifferent types of vehicle settings in one veh icle.
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: vehicles with Audi drive select
The vehicle setup in each mode depends on the
veh icle's features . However, the engine, auto
mat ic transmission and steering are a lways in
volved.
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
easi ly, like the steering in comfort mode, is best
suited to long drives on a highway. In contrast,
dynamic mode provides sporty, direct steering.
The follow ing applies to vehicles with dynam ic
steer ing*: the stee ring rat io changes based on
veh icle speed in order to ma inta in optim um
steer ing effort for the driver at all times. This
122
sets the steering to be less sensitive at higher
speeds in order to provide improved vehicle con
tro l. At reduced speeds, however, steering is
more direct in order to keep the steering effort as
minimal as possible when the driver is maneuver
ing the vehicle . At low and average speeds, dy
nam ic steering addit ionally prov ides more re
spons ive 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 time . Drive select also makes
i t possible to sat isfy the desire for sporty suspen
sion (Dynamic) and comfortable suspension
(Comfort) without giving up balanced tuning (Au
to).
Engine sound*
The sound of the eng ine is adapted to the select
ed mode and ranges from subtle to sporty.
Adaptive cruise control*
The behavior whe n accelerating can be adjusted
from comfortable to sporty, depending on the
drive select mode. Adaptive cruise control also
r esponds to the driv ing behavior of the vehicle
ahead in a more conservative or sporty manner .
(D Tips
- In some models, the maximum vehicle
speed can only be reached in the
Auto and
Dynamic modes.
- Selecting the
Dynamic mode results in spo r
ty shifting characteristics. The S gear posi
tion engages automatically.
- In veh icles that have dynamic steering*, op
erating noise is heard when starting or stop
ping the engine. This does not indicate a
prob lem.
