select, you can adjust the adaptive dampers to
sporty (dynamic), comfortable (comfort) or bal
anced (auto).
Steering
The power steering adapts. Indirect steering that
moves easi ly as in comfort mode is especially
suited to long drives on a highway . The dynamic
mode provides sporty, direct steering.
Torque distribution
The sport different ial d istr ibutes the dr ive power
to the rear axle based on the situation. The distri
bution of power varies depending on the selected
mode from moderate
( Comfort ) to sporty (Dy
namic ).
The goal is a high level of agility and abil
ity to accelerate on curves. The vehicle is very re
sponsive to steering .
Engine sound*
The engine sound adapts to the current mode
and can be subtle to sporty .
(Di Tips
I n some models, the maximum vehicle speed
can only be reached in the auto and dynamic
modes.
Selecting the driving mode
Applies to: veh icles with Audi drive select
You can choose between comfort, auto, dynamic

Intelligent Technology
Electronic stabilization
control (ESC)
Description
Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) supports
driver safety.
It reduces the risk of slipping and
improves driving stability. ESC detects critical sit
uations such as the vehicle oversteering and un
dersteering or the wheels are spinning. The vehi
cle is stabilized by applying the brakes or reduc
ing engine torque. When ESC engages, the
G1 in
dicator light blinks in the instrument 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 easier to start, acceler
ate and drive up hills .
Electronic 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
will switch on again automatically when condi
tions have returned to normal.
88 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 whee l on the inside of
the curve or both wheels on the inside of the
cu rve are braked selectively as needed. This al
lows more precise driving in curves. The applica
ble system may not activate when driving in wet
or snowy conditions.
A WARNING
- The ESC and its integrated systems cannot
overcome the limits imposed by natural physical laws. This is especially important
on slippery or wet roads. If the systems be
gin acting to stabilize your vehicle, you
should immediately 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
its integrated systems cannot always pre
vent collisions -there is still a risk of acci
dents!
- Press the accelerator pedal carefully when
accelerating on even, slippery surfaces such
as ice and snow. The drive wheels can spin
even when these control systems are instal
led and this can affect driving stability and
increase the risk of a collision.
(j) Tips
-The ABS and ASR only function correctly
when all four wheels have a similar wear
condition. Different tire sizes can lead to a
reduction in engine power.
- You may hear noises when the systems de
scribed are working.

Emergency assistance
_& WARNING
You or your passengers could be injured while
changing a wheel if you do not follow these
safety precautions :
- If you have a flat tire, move a safe distance
off the road. Turn off the engine, turn the
emergency flashers on and use other warn
ing devices to alert other motorists.
- Make sure that passengers wait in a safe
place away from the vehicle and well away
from the road and traffic.
- To help prevent the vehicle from moving
suddenly and possibly slipp ing off the jack,
always fully set the parking brake and block
the wheel diagona lly opposite the wheel be
ing changed . When one front wheel is lifted
off the ground, placing the Automatic
Transmission in P (Park) will
not prevent the
vehicle from moving.
- Before you change a wheel, be sure the
ground is level and firm. If necessary, use a
sturdy board under the jack.
- Always store the vehicle tool kit, the jack
and the replaced tire in the luggage com
partment

286
The wheel bolts must be clean and loosen/tight
en easily . Check the contact surfaces for the
wheel and hub. Contam inants on these surfaces
must be removed before installing the wheel.
A WARNING
Never use the hex socket in the screwdriver
handle to tighten the wheel bolts. Using the
hex socket will not achieve the required tight
ening torque, which increases the risk of an
accident.
(D Note
When removing or installing the wheel, the
rim could h it the brake rotor/ceramic brake
r otor* and damage the rotor. Work carefully
and have a second person help you .
(D Tips
- When mounting tires with unidirectional
tread design make sure the tread pattern is
pointed the right way
Q page 286.
-The wheel bolts should be clean and easy to
turn. Check for dirt and corrosion on the
mating surfaces of both the wheel and the
hub. Remove all dirt from these surfaces be
fore remounting the whee l.
Unidirectional tires
A unidirectional tire profi le is identified by arrows
that point in the runn ing direction on the tire
s idewall. You must always adhere to the speci
fied running direction. This is necessary ensure
the tire's optimum performance in regard to ad
hesion , running noise, friction and hydroplaning.
To benefit fully from the advantages of the uni
directional tire design, you should replace faulty
tires as soon as possible and restore the correct
running direction on all of the tires.
