Driving
engine braking effect on a vehicle with a combus-
tion engine. This will happen automatically when
you press the brake pedal while driving in “D”
gear, or when you remove your foot from the ac-
celerator pedal.
When you press the brake pedal, recuperation is
used to brake the vehicle. The brakes will only be
activated if necessary. When driving normally,
this makes it possible to brake using only recu-
peration just before coming to stop and to lose
little energy and range from braking.
Setting options
You can set how strongly the vehicle should be
braked by recuperation while coasting.
> Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen:
VEHICLE > Charging & Efficiency > Efficiency
assist > Recuperation.
Automatic: the recuperation braking effect is ad-
justed proactively* to the route or vehicles driv-
ing ahead, for example. You can temporarily ad-
just the braking effect by selecting a recuperation
level with the shift paddles.
Manual: the recuperation braking effect is con-
trolled manually. You can select a recuperation
level using the shift paddles.
Settings using the shift paddles:
> Select © for a stronger braking effect.
>» Select @ for a weaker braking effect.
Z\ WARNING
In certain situations, the recuperation may
brake proactively. However, the recuperation
braking effect is limited. Always be ready to
brake to reduce the risk of an accident.
@ Tips
If the ESC is limited or switched off, automat-
ic recuperation is not available and will not
brake.

You can display the projected range of the vehi-
cle.

monitor display.

Range potential: the value indicates an addition-
al amount of distance that can be gained by turn-
ing off certain convenience functions. The con-
venience functions with high energy usage are
listed on
the display.
Range mode: to maximize the current range, you
can use the button to switch the vehicle to a
mode with less energy consumption. This will re-
duce the drive system power and the maximum
speed. This can also turn off certain energy con-
sumers. You can exit this mode by either pressing
the button again, pressing the Audi drive select*
button, or switching off the ignition.
G) Tips
— The range can also be displayed in the in-
strument cluster in the on-board computer.
— The range that is indicated is based on the
previous and predicted consumption values.
For example, this may influence the naviga-
tion route guidance or activated conven-
ience functions.
