matically selects the correct gear. It depends on
engine load, vehicle speed and driving style.
Select the sport mode "S" for sporty driving. The
vehicle makes full use of the engine's power.
Shifting may become noticeable when accelerat-
ing.
To move from selector lever position "N" to "D",
you must press the brake pedal and the vehicle
must be traveling less than 1 mph (2 km/h) or be
stationary > A.

Z\ WARNING
Read and follow all WARNINGS.
— Before starting to drive, check if the desired
selector lever position is displayed next to
the selector lever.
— The vehicle can roll even if the ignition is
switched off.
— Never select "R" or "P" while driving, be-
cause this increases the risk of an accident.
— Power is still transmitted to the wheels
when the engine is running at idle. To pre-
vent the vehicle from “creeping”, you must
keep your foot on the brake in all selector
lever positions (except “P”) when the engine
is running. Otherwise, this increases the risk
of an accident.
— Do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped if a gear is
engaged. Otherwise the vehicle will start to
move immediately, even if the parking brake
is set. This could result in a crash.
— Do not press the accelerator pedal when
changing the selector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
running.
— Never leave your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear. If you must leave your
vehicle when the engine is running, set the
parking brake and move the selector lever to
the "P" position.
—To decrease the risk of an accident, the se-
lector lever must be in the P position and

Driving

— If the vehicle does not move in the desired
direction, the system may not have engaged
the drive position correctly. Press the brake
pedal and select the drive position again.
— If the vehicle still does not move in the de-
sired direction, there is a system malfunc-
tion. See an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility for assistance
to have the system checked.
The transmission shifts up and down automati-
cally when in the driving gears.

Stopping temporarily
> Keep the vehicle stationary using the braking
pedal, for example at traffic lights.
> Do not press the accelerator pedal when doing
this.
> To prevent the vehicle from rolling when you
start driving, set the parking brake when stop-
ping on steep hills > A\ and >@.
> The parking brake will release automatically

the accelerator pedal.
Stopping/parking
If the selector lever is not in the "P" position
when you open the driver’s door, the vehicle
could roll. In vehicles with a convenience key*,
the message Shift to P, otherwise vehicle can
roll away. Doors do not lock if gearshift is not in
P appears. A warning tone will also sound.
> Press and hold the brake pedal > A\.
>» Set the parking brake.
> Select the "P" selector lever position.
Under certain circumstances, such as driving in
the mountains, it may be useful to switch tempo-
rarily to the manual shift program in order to
manually adjust the gears to the driving condi-
tions > page 66.
When parking ona level surface, simply place the
selector lever in the "P" position. On inclines, ac-
tivate the parking brake first and then move the
selector lever to the "P" position > page 59. This
prevents the locking mechanism from being load-
ed too heavily and will make it easier to move the
selector lever out of the "P" position.

ZA WARNING
— The vehicle can roll even when the engine is
switched off.
— Unintended vehicle movement can lead to
serious injuries.
— Never leave your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear. If you must leave your
vehicle when the engine is running, set the
parking brake and move the selector lever to
the P position. >

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.

Intelligent Technology

@) Note
— Never let the brakes “rub” by pressing the
pedal lightly when braking is not actually
necessary. This can cause the brakes to over-
heat and increases braking distance and
causes wear.
— Before driving on long stretches with steep
hills, reduce the vehicle speed and shift to a
lower gear to use the engine braking effect.
This reduces the load on the brakes. If you
need to brake additionally, brake in intervals
and not continuously.
@) Tips
— If you retrofit your vehicle with a front spoil-
er, wheel covers or similar items, make sure
that the air flow to the brakes is not ob-
structed. Otherwise the brake system can
overheat.
— Also refer to the information about brake
fluid > page 235.
Steering
Electromechanical steering supports the driver's
steering movements by electronically adapting
the power steering depending on the vehicle
speed. The settings depend on the selected Audi
drive select* mode.
a Steering: malfunction! Please stop vehicle
The power steering may have failed. Adapt your
driving style immediately to compensate for the
fact that it may be more difficult to turn the
steering wheel, and stop your vehicle in a safe lo-
cation as soon as possible. Do not continue driv-
ing. See an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility for assistance.
a Steering: malfunction! You can continue
driving
There is a malfunction. Steering may be more dif-
ficult or more sensitive. Adapt your driving style.
Have the steering system checked immediately
by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility. Please note that the red indicator
light may turn on after restarting the engine. Do
not continue driving if it does.
G@) Tips
If the 12 or al indicator light only stays on
for a short time, you may continue driving.
ALL wheel drive (quattro)
Applies to: vehicles with all wheel drive
In all wheel drive, all four wheels are powered.
General information
In all wheel drive, the driving power is divided be-
tween all four wheels. This happens automatical-
ly depending on your driving behavior as well as
the current road conditions. Also see > page 86,
Electronic stabilization control (ESC).
The all wheel drive concept is designed for high
engine power. Your vehicle is exceptionally pow-
erful and has excellent driving characteristics
both under normal driving conditions and on
snow and ice. Always read and follow safety pre-
cautions > A\.
Winter tires
By using all wheel drive, your vehicle has good
forward motion with standard tires in winter con-
ditions. However, in winter we recommend using
winter or all season tires on all four wheels, be-
cause this will improve the braking effect.
Snow chains
If there are snow chain laws, snow chains must
also be used on vehicles with all wheel drive
=> page 255, Snow chains.
Replacing tires
For vehicles with all wheel drive, only wheels with
the same rolling circumference should be used.
Avoid using tires with different tread depths
=> page 247, New tires or wheels.
