Audi active lane assist
Description
Appl ies to: vehicles with Audi act ive lane assist
Active lane assist detects lane marker lines with­
i n the lim its of the system using a camera in the
windshield. If you are approach ing a detected
lane marker line and it appears like ly that you
will leave the lane, the system w ill warn you with
corrective steering. You can override this steering
at any time. If you pass over a line, the steering
whee l w ill vibrate lightly. In orde r fo r thi s warn­
i ng vibration to occ ur, it must first be switched
on in the Infotainment system. Active lane ass ist
is ready for operation when the lane marker line
is detected on at least one side of the vehicle.
The system is des igned for driving on express­
ways and highways and therefore on ly activates
at speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/
h) .
Applies to: vehicles with side assist
If you activate a turn s ignal when act ive lane as­
s ist is ready and it classifies a lane change as crit ­
ica l because of vehicles traveling a longside you or
approach ing you, there wi ll be noticeable correc­
tive steer ing shortly before you leave the lane.
This will attempt to keep your veh icle in the lane.
Applies to: vehicles without side assist
The system will not wa rn you befo re c ross ing a
l ane marke r line if you have act ivated the t urn
s ignal. In this case, it assumes that you are
changing lanes intentionally.
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive cru ise control
The corrective steer ing is targeted based on the
driv ing situation . In add it ion to the lane marke r .,.

lines, the system c an also t ake into account other
objects such as guard rails . If they are detected in
close proximity to the veh icle, active lane assist
he lps prevent the vehicle from driving too close
to them. There is also passing assistance . The
system does not provide any corrective steering if
i t detects that you are passing another veh icle .
& WARNING
-The system wa rns the driver that the veh icle
is leav ing the lane using co rre ctive s teer ing.
T he driver is always respo nsible for kee ping
the vehicle within the lane .
- T he system can help you keep the vehicle in
th e lan e, but i t does not drive by itself. Al­
w ays keep yo ur hands on the steering
whee l.
- Corrective steer ing may not o ccur in ce rtain
situations , su ch as during heavy bra king.
- T here m ay be cases where the came ra does
not recognize all lane ma rker lines . Correc ­
t ive steering can o nly take p lace on the side
of the veh icle where lane marker lines are
detected.
- Other road structures or objects could possi­
bly be identified unintentiona lly as lane
marker lines . As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur.
- The camera view can be restricted, for ex­ ample by vehicles driv ing ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray or light shining into the
camera . This can result in act ive lane assist
not detec ting the lane marke r lines or de­
tecting them incor rectly.
- Under certa in conditions suc h as rut s in the
road, a bank ed roadway o r crosswinds , the
co rrective stee ring a lone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the mi ddle of the lane.
- F or safety reasons, active lane assis t m ust
not be used when the re are poor roa d an d/
o r we athe r cond itions s uch a s slippery
roads, fog, grave l, heavy r ain, snow a nd the
potent ial for hydroplaning . Using active lane
assist under these conditions may increase
the risk of a crash.

Audi drive select (drive
settings)
Introduction
Drive select makes it possible to experience dif­
ferent types of vehicle settings in one vehicle.
The dr iver can select
Comfort , Au to a nd D ynamic
modes i n the Infota inment system to switch be­
tween , fo r example, a sporty and a comfo rtable
driving mode .
Sett ings can be ad justed to your personal p refe r­
e nces in
Ind ividual mode. Th is makes it poss ible
t o combine settings such as a sporty engine se t­
ting w ith light steering .
Description
The following systems, among other things, are
infl uenced by drive select :
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on t he mode, the e ng in e and auto ­
mat ic transmission respond more q uick ly o r in a
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
Assist
movements . In the sporty dynamic mode, the
transmission shifts at higher speed ranges.
Adapt ive a ir suspension *
The adapt ive ai r suspension* is an e lectron ically­
co ntro lled air suspens io n and dampi ng sys tem.
T he ad justmen t depends o n the dr iving mode se­
l ected, steering movements, the driver's braking
and acce le ration, and as the road surface, veh icle
speed and load.
T he vehicle groun d clearan ce depends on t he
mode selected and the speed . When you are in
the
auto , the highway setting is activated when
yo u drive above 75 mph (120 km/h) for more
than 30 seconds. The g round clearance is in­
creased automatically if the speed drops be low
44 mp h (70 km/h) for more than 120 seconds .
Suspension control*
With the Audi Dynamic Ride Control damping
contro l, dampening characteristics of the ve hicle
can be individually adjusted us ing drive select.
This makes it possible to satisfy the des ire for
sporty suspens ion
(DYNAMIC) and comfortable
s u spension (COMFOR T) without g iv ing up bal­
anced tu ning (AUTO) .
Steering
The power steering adapts. Indirect steering that
moves easily as in comfort mode is espec ially
su ited to long drives on a highway . The Dynam ic
mode provides sporty, direct steering .
Applies to: vehicles with dynamic steering
The steering ratio changes based on veh icle
speed in order to maintain opt imum steer ing ef­
fort fo r th e driver at all times . Thi s sets the s teer­
i ng to be less sensitive at h igher speeds i n orde r
to provide improved ve hicl e con trol. At reduced
speeds, stee ring is more direct in orde r to keep
t h e s teer ing effort as minimal as possible when
t h e driver is maneuvering the ve hicle. At low and
average speeds, dynamic steering * additionally
provides more responsive steering performance.
Sport differential*
As a compone nt o f the all whee l dr ive system
(qua ttro)
~ page 124, the sport different ia l dis -
t ributes the driving power to the rear axle .,.

depending on the s ituation. The distr ibution of
power varies from balanced (comfort) to sporty
(dynamic) depending on the selected mode. The
goal is a high leve l of agility and ability to accel­
erate on curves. The veh icle is very responsive to
steer ing .
Cornering light*
The cornering light adapts the high beams to the
direction of the curve depending on the speed.
The pivot ing action and the lighting also adapt to
the mode.
Adaptive c ru ise contr ol*
The behavior when acce le rating can be adjusted
from comfortable to sporty, depending on the
drive select mode. Adaptive cruise control a lso
responds to the driving behavior of the veh icle
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 Note
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive air suspension
- Make sure there is enough clearance above
and below the veh icle when parking. The
height of the vehicle (ground clearance) can
change once it is parked due to tempera ture
fluctuations, changes to the load condit ions
and c hanges to the d riving modes.
- When transporting the veh icle on a car car­
r ier, tra in, ship or by other means, only tie
the veh icle dow n at the running surfa ce of
the tires, w hic h is the outer circ umference .
Securing the vehicle at the axle compo ­
nents, suspension st ruts or towing eyes is
not permitted because the pressure in the
air suspension struts can change dur ing
transport . The vehicle may not be secured
sufficiently if this happens.
(D Tips
- In some models, the maximum vehicle
speed can only be reached in the auto and
dynam ic modes.
106
- The S se lector lever position a utomat ica lly
engages if the dynamic mode is selected.
- Applies to: vehicles with dynamic steering:
operating noise is heard when starting or
stopp ing the engine. Th is does not indicate
a problem.
Selecting the driving mode
