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 .

Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bulbs for
you.
It is becoming increasing ly more and more diff i­
cult to replace vehicle light bulbs s ince in many
cases, othe r parts of the car must fi rst be re­
moved before you are able to get to the bu lb .
This applies especially to the light bulbs in the
front of your car which you can only reach
through the engine compartment.
Sheet metal and bulb ho lders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, parts must be
correct ly taken apart and then properly put back
together to he lp prevent breakage of parts and
380
long term damage from water that can enter
housings that have not been properly resealed.
Fo r you r safety, we recommend that you have
you r autho rized Audi dea ler replace any bulbs for
you, since your dealer has the proper tools, the
correct bu lbs and the expertise.
Ga s di sc harg e la mp s (Xe non ligh ts):
Due to the h igh electr ical voltage, have the bulbs
rep laced by a qualified technician . Headlights
with Xenon light a re identified by the high volt­
age sticker.
L ED headlight s*
LED headlights require no maintenance. Please
contact your authorized Audi dealer if a bulb
needs to be replaced.
A WARNING
Changing Xenon lamps without the necessary
equipment can cause serious personal injury.
-Bulbs are pressurized and can explode when
be ing changed. Potent ial r isk of injury!
- On veh icles equipped with gas discharge
bulbs (Xenon light) life-threatening injuries
can result from improper handling of the
high-vo ltage portions of such lamps!
-Only your authorized Audi dealer or quali­
fied workshop shou ld change the bulbs in
gas discharge lamps . There are parts with
sharp edges on the openings and on the bulb holders that can cause serious cuts. If
you are uncerta in about what to do, have
the work performed by an authorized Audi
dea ler or qualified workshop. Serious per­
sonal injury may result from improperly per­
formed work.
(D Tips
-If you still prefer to replace the light bulbs
yourself, be aware that the engine compart­
ment is a hazardous area to work
i n c:> & in
Working in the engine compartment on
page 330 .
-It is best to ask your authorized Audi dealer
whenever you want to change a bulb .
