This
additional indicator function can help to
save
fuel.

To familiarise yourself with the gear-change
indi­

cator, drive in the normal way to start
with.
A
gear change will be recommended on the instru­
ment cluster display if the
gear
you are in is not
the most economical choice. If no gear change is
recommended, you are already in the most eco­
nomical gear.

Driving
R - Reverse gear
Reverse gear should only be engaged when the
vehicle is stationary and the engine is idling
^A-

To move the selector lever to position R, release
the selector Lever lock and at the same time
press the brake pedal.
N - Neutral
In this position, the gearbox is in neutral.
D/S - Drive/Sport (standard position for
driving forwards)
In selector Lever position D/S, the gearbox can be
operated in either the standard drive mode (D) or
in sport mode (S). To select sport mode (S), brief­
ly pull the selector lever back. The gearbox will
switch back to drive mode (D) if
you
pull the se­
lector lever again. The selected driving mode is
shown in the instrument cluster display.
In the standard drive mode (D), the gearbox au­
tomatically selects the best gear ratio. This de­
pends on the engine
load,
the road speed and the
driving style.
In Sport mode S, the gearbox makes full use of
the engine power. When accelerating the gear
shifts may be noticeable.
Press the brake pedal when moving the selector
lever from N to D/S if the vehicle is stationary or
at speeds below 2 km/h
o A-

E - Efficiency*
In efficiency mode
^>page
131, Audi drive se­

lect,
the gearbox selects the next gear at lower
engine speeds. Earlier upshifts give improved
fuel economy because the full power reserves of
the engine are not used.
In this mode, an
E
is shown on the instrument
cluster display instead of
a D

WARNING
- The car can roll away even if the ignition is
switched off.
- Never move the selector lever to
R
or P
when driving, as this could cause an
acci­

dent.
- In all selector lever positions (except P) the
vehicle must always be held with the foot
brake when the engine is running. This is be­
cause an automatic gearbox still transmits
power even at idling speed, and the vehicle
tends to "creep" - risk of accident!
- The accelerator pedal must on no account
be pressed inadvertently when a gear is en­
gaged with the vehicle stationary. The
vehi­

cle could otherwise start moving immedi­
ately (in some cases even if the parking
brake is engaged) and possibly cause an ac­
cident.
- Do not press the accelerator while selecting
a gear with the vehicle stationary and the
engine running, as this could cause an
acci­

dent.
- The driver should never get out of the
vehi­

cle when the engine is running and a gear is

engaged.
If
you
have to Leave your vehicle
while the engine is running, you must apply
the parking brake and engage the parking
lock P.
- To avoid accidents, apply the parking brake
and
put
the selector lever in position
P
be­
fore opening the bonnet and working on the
vehicLe with the engine running. Please ob­
serve the important safety warnings

the engine compartment.
© Note
- Audi drive select: You can select the sport
program for gear changes by activating the
dynamic mode
^>page
131. The instru­
ment cluster display will show
S
instead of
D.
- If the lever is moved accidentally to
N
when

driving,
take
your
foot off the accelerator
and
let
the engine speed drop to idling be­
fore selecting
D
or
S
again.
- It is not possible to move the selector lever
out of position
P
if the electrical power sup­
ply fails. In this case, the selector lever can
be released manually. Left-hand drive
