2018 AUDI A5 COUPE ECO mode

-The system only considers traffic signs that
give a speed limit.
- The permitted speed can be exceeded if the
adaptation to a speed limit is incorrect. The dr iver is responsible for adhering to the per­
mitted speed.
- The speed at which a curve is driven through
does not necessarily match your own driving
style . Brake the vehicle yourself when need­
ed to reduce the r isk of a n accident .
(D Tips
-If a speed limit is detected, the stored
speed is also adjusted in the speedometer
L ED line when the adaptive cruise control is
not active .
- The adaptation by the system depends on
the driving mode set in drive select* .
- Switch ing off pred ictive control, for exam­
ple when dr iving in low traffic zones, does
not cause the adaptive cru ise control to
switch off.
-After switching on the ignit ion, the system
i nit ially adjusts to a speed of 80 mph
(130 km/h) when driv ing onto h ighways
wi thou t a speed limit . Then the system ad­
ju sts to the last speed stored by the driver.
- There is no adaptation to speed limits when
driv ing thro ugh highway interchanges and
when driving on o r off the expressway.
- There is no predictive cont rol at speed limits
u nder 20 mph (30 km/h).
- If a speed limit is only detected by the cam­
era and the actual speed is s ignificantly
h igher, then the speed limit will blink i n the
display unti l you have reached the requ ired
speed
~ page 110 .
-Incorrect values from the camera-based
traffic sign recognition* or outdated naviga ­
tion system map data can lead to incorrect
or implausible control.
- When route guidance is switched on, the
system adapts to the route provided by the navigation system. Driving w ithout route
guidance or leaving a route can resu lt in im­
plaus ible control.
A ss is ta nce syst ems
-The system switches off when outside of a
road system that is recorded in the naviga­
tion system map data .

Audi pre sense city
Description
A ppl ie s to: ve hicles w ith Aud i p re se nse c ity
Within the limits of the system, pre sense city
can warn you of impending collisions with
vehicles and pedestrians and initiate the applica­
ble braking maneuver if needed. Pre sense city is
active at speeds of approximately 6 mph (10 km/ h) and higher .
A pedestrian warning can occur at speeds up to
SO mph (85 km/h), and vehicle warnings can oc­
cur at speeds up to 155 mph (250 km/h). A pre
sense city braking maneuver is poss ible at speeds
up to SO mph (85 km/h).
Warnings
A ppl ies to: ve hicles w ith Aud i p re sense c ity
The system recognizes various dangerous situa­
tions. The
early warning occurs if:
- a veh icle driving ahead brakes suddenly,
- your own vehicle approaches a significantly
slower vehicle or stationary vehicle in the direc­
tion of travel.
- a pedestrian is standing in the lane or is moving
into the lane .
When this warning occurs, it may only be possi­
ble to avoid a collision by swerving or braking
strongly . The message
Audi pre sense.
128
¢ page 126, fig. 126 and a warning tone will
warn you about the danger.
Additionally, a jerk on the brakes may occur as an
acute warning when there is an impending colli­
sion . If you do not react to the acute warning, pre
sense city can brake to the point of complete de­
ce leration within the limits of the system . This
reduces the vehicle speed in the event of a colli­
sion. The message
Audi pre sense. also ap­
pears.
The following functions are triggered in conjunc­
tion with pre sense basic/rear :
- Reversible tensioning of the front safety belts.
- Closing the windows and sunroof* .
- Inflating the s ide bolsters* on the seat back-
rest.
Audi drive select*: the function is not active de ­
pending on the mode selected .
&_ WARNING
- Pre sense city cannot overcome the laws of
phys ics.
It is a system designed to assist and
it cannot prevent a collision in every circum­
stance. The driver must always intervene.
The driver is always responsible for braking
at the correct time. Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into taking risks .
This could increase your risk of a collision.
-The system can dep loy incorrectly due to
system-specific limits.
-To reduce the risk of an accident, please
note that the camera does not always detect
every object.
-Pre sense city does not react to animals,
crossing or oncoming vehicles, objects such
as bars, railings or railcars, and objects that
are difficult to detect

Description
Applies to: vehicles 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
mat ic transmission* respond more quickly or in a
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements. In the sporty
Dynamic mode, the
transmission shifts at highe r speed ranges.
Suspension control*
The suspension control* uses sensors to record
information regarding steering movements,
braking and acceleration operations by the driv­
e r, road sur face, dr iv ing speed, and load. This
makes it possible to adapt damping to the driv­
ing situation nearly in rea l time. With drive se ­
lect, you can adjust the suspension control to be
sporty
( Dynamic ), comfortab le ( Comfort ) or bal­
anced
( Auto ).
Steering
The power steering adapts. Indirect steer ing that
moves easi ly as in
Comfort mode is especia lly
suited to long drives on highways. The
Dynamic
mode provides sporty, direct steering.
The following applies to vehicles with dynamic
steering*: the steering ratio changes based on
vehicle speed in order to maintain optimum
steering effort for the driver at all times. This
sets the steer ing to be less sensitive at higher
speeds in order to provide improved vehicle con­
trol. At reduced speeds, steering is more direct in
order to keep the steering effort as min imal as
possible w hen the driver is maneuvering the vehi­
cle . At low and average speeds, dynam ic steer­
in g* add itionally provides more responsive steer­
ing performance.
Sport differential*
As a component of the all wheel drive system
(quattro)
~ page 154, the sport differential dis­
tr ibu tes the dr iv in g power to the rear ax le de­
pending on the situation. The distribution of
power varies depending on the selected mode
Assistance systems
from moderate (Comfort ) to sporty (Dynamic ).
The goal is a high level of agility and ability to ac­
ce lerate on curves . T he vehicle is very responsive
to steering.
Adaptive cruise control (ACC)*
The behavior when accelerating can be adjusted
from comfortable to sporty, depending on the
drive select mode. Adaptive cruise control also
responds to the driving behavior of the vehicle
ahead in a more conservative or sporty manner.
Engine sound*
The engine sound adapts to the current mode
and can be subtle to sporty.
(D Tips
The S selecto r lever position automatically en­
gages when the
Dynamic mode is selected .

A WARNING
You should only switch sport mode on or switch ESC/ASR off if your driving abilities
and road conditions permit .
- The stabilization function is limited when
sport mode is sw itched on . T he driving
wheels co uld spin and the vehicle cou ld
swerve, espec ially on s lick o r sli ppery roa d
surf aces.
- T here is no vehicle stabilization when ESC/
ASR a re swi tched off .
Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not ac hieve the ir full b raking
effect during the first 250 mi (400 km) . They
must be "broken
in " fi rst . However, you can com­
pensate for the slightly reduced bra king fo rce by
pr ess ing firmly o n the bra ke pe dal. Avoid heavy
b ra king dur ing t he b reak -in per io d .
Wear
Brake pad wear depends largely o n the way the
ve hicl e is driven and on operat ing cond it ions .
This is especially t rue if you are d riving freque ntly
in t he c ity and on curves o r wi th a sporty driving
s tyle.
Operating noise
Noises may occur when braking depend ing o n the
speed , braking force and ou ts ide cond it ions such
as te m pe ra ture and humi dity .
Wet conditions or road salt
In certain situations, for example after driving
through water, in heavy ra in or after washing
your car, the braking ef fect may be reduced due
to mo isture or ice on the b rake roto rs and b rake
pads. The b rakes mus t be
"dried" firs t wi th a few
care ful bra ke app lic at ions.
At higher speeds and with t he windsh ie ld wipers
turned o n, the brake pads press against the bra ke
rotors for a s ho rt amoun t of time. This ac tion,
whi ch is not felt by the driver , happens at regul ar
i nte rvals an d ens ures a better reac tion time fo r
the brakes in wet weat her.
Intellig ent Technology
The brak ing effec t can a lso be reduced if yo u are
driving on salted roads and yo u do not app ly the
bra kes for long per iods o f time. The layer of sa lt
on the brake rotors and pads m ust be worn off
first whe n the brakes are applied .
Corrosion
Leaving t he vehi cle pa rked for long periods o f
time, low mileage and avoiding heavy b raking
can contrib ute to corros ion on the b rake roto rs
and to dirty brake pads.
If you usu a lly avoid heavy bra king or if there is
cor rosion prese nt, occasiona l heavy braking at
high speeds is recommended to clean the brake
roto rs and pads
c> ,& .
Brake system malfunction
If you notice that the bra ke pedal trave l has sud ­
denly in crease d, then a brake circuit in the dua l­
circuit b rake system may have malfunctioned.
Drive to an authorized A udi dealer or authorized
Audi Se rvice Facility immed iate ly to have the
problem corrected. On the way there, d rive w ith
reduced speed and keep in mind that you will
need a longer distance to stop and you will need
to press the bra ke ped al ha rder.
Low brake fluid level
When the bra ke fluid level is low, malfu nctions in
the b rake system may occur . T h e brake fluid level
is e lec tron ically moni tored.
Brake booster
The brake booster ampli fies t he p ressure you ap­
ply to the brake pedal.
A WARNING
- On ly app ly the brakes for the purpose of
cleaning the brake system when road and
traffic cond itions permi t. You must not en ­
da nger other road users. This inc reases the
ris k of an a ccid en t.
- Never let the vehicle roll while the engine is
sto pped bec ause t his increases the risk of an
a ccident.
