Assist systems
If the system is activated, the displays in the ex-
terior mirrors will turn on briefly when the igni-
tion is switched on.
Adjusting the display brightness
Applies to: vehicles with Audi side assist
The display brightness can be adjusted in the In-
fotainment system.
> Select in the Infotainment system: [MENU] but-
ton > Vehicle > left control button >Driver as-
sistance > Audi side assist
The display brightness adjusts automatically to
the brightness of the surroundings, both in the
information and in the warning stage. In very
dark or very bright surroundings, the automatic
adjustment will set the display to the minimum
or maximum level. In such cases, you may notice
no change when adjusting the brightness, or the
change may only be noticeable once the sur-
roundings change.
Adjust the brightness to a level where the display
in the information stage will not disrupt your
view ahead. If you change the brightness, the dis-
play in the exterior mirror will briefly show the
brightness level in the information stage. The
brightness of the warning stage is linked to the
brightness in the information stage and is adjust-
ed along with the information stage.
G@) Tips
— Side assist is not active while you are mak-
ing the adjustment.
— Your settings are automatically stored and
assigned to the remote control key being
used.

Audi drive select (drive
settings)
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
Drive select makes it possible to experience dif-
ferent types of vehicle characteristics in one vehi-
cle. The driver can select from three modes,
Comfort,
Auto, and Dynamic, using the sist but-
ton in the center console or by using the Infotain-
ment system. This allows you to switch between
a sporty and a comfortable driving mode, for ex-
ample. In the Individual mode, the settings can
be adjusted to your personal preferences. This
makes it possible to combine settings such as a
sporty engine setting with light steering.
Z\ WARNING
Using Audi drive select incorrectly can lead to
collisions, other accidents and serious inju-
ries.
