A WARNING
Using Aud i drive select incorrectly can lead to
coll is ions, other accidents and serious inju
ries.
Description
App lies to: vehicles with A udi drive se lect
The veh icle setup in each mode depends on the
vehicle's features.
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.
Suspension control (Audi magnetic ride)*
The suspension control uses sensors to record in
format ion regarding steering movements, brak
i ng and acceleration operations by the driver, as
well as information about the road surface, driv
i ng speed, and load. W ith dr ive se lect, you can
adjust the suspension control to sporty (dynam
ic ), comfortable (comfort) or balanced (auto).
Steering
The power steering adapts . Indirect steering that
moves eas ily as in comfort mode is espec ially
su ited to long drives on a highway . The dynamic
mode provides sporty, direct steering.
Engine sound*
The engine sound adapts to the current mode
and can be subtle to sporty .
(D Tips
In some models, the maximum vehicle speed
can only be reached in the auto and dynamic
modes .

-Never install seat covers or replacement
upholstery over the front seatbacks that
have not been specifically approved by
Aud i.
- Never use add itiona l seat cushions that
cover the areas where the s ide airbags in
flate.
- Damage to the origina l seat covers or to
the seam in the area of the side airbag module must always be repaired immedi
ately by an authorized Audi dealer.
- The airbag system can deploy only once . Af
ter an airbag has been deployed, it must be
rep laced with new rep lacement parts de
signed and approved especially fo r you r
Audi mode l version. Replacement of com
plete airbag systems or airbag components
must be performed by qualified workshops
only . Make sure that any airbag service ac
tion is entered in your Audi Warranty
&
Maintenance booklet under AIRBAG RE
PLACEMENT RECORD.
- For safety reasons in severe accidents, the
alternator and starter are separated from
the vehicle battery with a pyrotechn ic circuit
interrupter.
-Work on the pyrotechnic circu it interrupt
er must only be performed by a qualified
technicians who have the experience, in
formation and special tools necessary to perform the work safely.
-If the vehicle or the circuit interrupter is
scrapped, all app licab le safety precautions
must be followed.
@ For the sake of the environment
Undep loyed airbag modu les and pretension
ers might be classified as Perch lorate Materi
al
-special handling may apply, see
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlo
rate . When the veh icle or parts of the re
straint system including airbag modules and
safety belts with p retensioners are scrapped,
all appli cable laws and regulations must be
observed. Your authorized Audi dealer is fa
m il iar with these requi rements and we re com
mend that you have you r dealer per form this
service for you.
Airbag syste m
Other things that can affect Advanced
Airbag performance
Changing the vehicle's suspension system can
change the way that the Advanced Airbag System
performs in a crash. For example, using tire-rim
combinations not approved by Audi, lowering the
vehicle, changing the stiffness of the suspension, including the springs, suspension struts, shock
absorbers etc . can change the forces that are
measured by the airbag sensors and sent to the
electronic cont rol u nit. Some suspension c hanges
can, for example, increase the fo rce leve ls meas
u red by the sensors and make t he a irbag system
deploy in crashes in which it wou ld not deploy if
the changes had not been made. Other kinds of
changes may reduce the force levels measured by
the sensors and prevent the a irbag from deploy
ing when it should.
A WARNING
-
Changing the vehicle's suspension including use of unapproved tire-rim combinations can
change Advanced Airbag perfo rmance and in
crease the risk of serious personal injury in a
crash.
- Never install suspension components that
do not have the same performance charac
ter istics as the components o riginally instal
led on your vehicle .
-Never use tire-rim combin ations that have
not been approved by Audi .

- Before driving over a workshop hoist,
check that the vehicle weight does not
exceed the permissible lifting capacity of
the hoist.
- Before driving over a workshop hoist , en
