Driving


— If the engine must run while you are work-
ing in the engine compartment with the
hood open, make sure a gear is not engaged.
The selector lever must be firmly in the
P position and locked in place and the park-
ing brake must be set > page 200. Other-
wise, the vehicle could begin moving when
increasing the engine speed, even with the


parking brake set.

() Note
— If you have to stop on an incline, always
press the brake pedal to hold the vehicle in
place to reduce the risk of the vehicle rolling
backward. Do not try to hold the vehicle in
place by pressing and holding the accelera-
tor pedal. The transmission can overheat,
which increases the risk of damage.
— Allowing the vehicle to roll when the engine
is stopped and the selector lever is in the N
position will damage the automatic trans-
mission because it is not lubricated under
those circumstances.
— The transmission can overheat and be dam-
aged under certain driving and traffic condi-
tions such as frequent starts, creeping for a
long time, or stop-and-go traffic. When the
i or ij indicator light turns on, stop the
vehicle at the next opportunity and let the
transmission cool > page 85.
— Allowing the vehicle to roll when the engine
is stopped will damage the S tronic trans-
mission because it is not lubricated
=> page 249, Towing.
@® Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is re-
leased automatically only when the driver's
safety belt is fastened.
Hill descent control
The hill descent control system assists the driver
when driving down hills.
Hill descent control is activated when the selec-
tor lever is in the "D" or "S" position and you
press the brake pedal. The transmission automat-

ically selects a gear that is suitable for the hill.
Hill descent control tries to maintain the speed
that was selected at the time of braking, within
physical and technical limitations. If may still be
necessary to adjust the speed with the brakes.
Because hill descent control cannot shift down
farther than 3rd gear, it may be necessary to shift
into tiptronic mode in very steep areas. In this
case, shift manually into 1st or 2nd gear in tip-
tronic mode to use the engine's braking force to
relieve the brakes.
Hill descent control switches off once the hill lev-
els
out or if you press the accelerator pedal.
On vehicles with a cruise control system*
= page 87, hill descent control is also activated
when the speed is set.

ZX WARNING
Hill descent control may not be able to main-
tain a constant speed under all conditions. Al-
ways be ready to apply the brakes.



Shifting manually (tiptronic mode)
The tiptronic mode allows the driver to shift the
gears manually.

Driving

You can shift the gears manually when in “D”
mode. The transmission must be in tiptronic
mode.
Shifting with the selector lever
You can shift into manual shifting mode while the
vehicle is stationary or while driving.
> To switch to manual shifting mode, tilt the se-
lector lever toward the front passenger's side
=> fig. 88. “M” will be displayed in the instru-
ment cluster.
> Upshifting: push the selector lever forward ().
> Downshifting: push the selector lever toward
the rear ().
> To switch back to automatic mode, tilt the se-
lector lever toward the driver's side.
Shifting with the shift paddles
Applies to: vehicles with shift paddles
> Upshifting: press the @) shift paddle > fig. 89.
> Downshifting: press the ©) shift paddle.
> Applies to: RS models: To select the lowest/
highest possible gear, press and hold down the
shift paddle @)/@).
If the shift paddles are tapped while in the D/S
selector lever position, automatic mode switches
off briefly. To switch from manually shifting back
to automatic shifting immediately, tap the shift
paddle @) © fig. 89 for 1 second.
To keep shifting manually, tilt the selector lever
toward the front passenger's side.
@ Tips
— The transmission only allows manual shift-
ing when the engine speed is within the per-
mitted range.
— The transmission automatically shifts up or
down before critical engine speed is
reached.
— Applies to: RS models: When accelerating,
the transmission will not automatically shift
to the next gear shortly before the maxi-
mum permitted engine RPM is reached.
Shift to the next highest gear at the right
time.
84
Kick-down enables maximum acceleration.
When you press the accelerator pedal down be-
yond the resistance point, the automatic trans-
mission downshifts into a lower gear and the en-
gine utilizes its full power, if the vehicle speed
and engine RPM permit. It shifts up into the next
higher gear once the maximum permitted engine
RPM is reached.

ZX WARNING
Please note that the wheels could spin on
slick or slippery roads when kick-down is ac-
tive.
Launch Control
Launch Control provides the best possible accel-
eration when starting from a stop.


Requirements
— The engine must be at operating temperature.
— The steering wheel must not be turned.
— ESC must be limited > page 106.
— Driving program “S” > page 80 or the Audi
drive select* Dynamic mode must be selected
=> page 96.
Using Launch Control
— Press the brake pedal with your left foot and
hold it all the way down for at least one second.
— With the brake pedal pressed, press the accel-
erator pedal all the way down with your right
foot at the same time.
— Once the engine reaches a constant speed, re-
move your foot from the brake pedal.
Once the vehicle has started moving, reactivate
the ESC so that it is fully functional.

Z\ WARNING
Only use Launch Control when road and traffic
conditions allow it and other road users will
not be endangered or impacted by your driv-
ing and the vehicle's acceleration. The driving
wheels could spin and the vehicle could
swerve, especially on slick or slippery road

> Switch the ignition off.
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
ICRUISE| / 3) Speed control system: currently un-
available. See owner's manual
If the indicator light turns on and this message
appears, the cruise control system has been deac-
tivated. There is a temporary malfunction, for ex-
ample the brakes are overheating. Switch the
cruise control system on again later.
Audi active lane assist
Applies to: vehicles with Audi active lane assist
Active lane assist detects lane marker lines with-
in the limits of the system using a camera in the
windshield. If you are approaching a detected
lane marker line and it appears likely that you
will leave the lane, the system will warn you with
corrective steering. You can override this steering
at any time. If you pass over a line, the steering
wheel will vibrate lightly. In order for this warn-
ing vibration to occur, it must first be switched
on in the Infotainment system. Active lane assist
is ready for operation when the lane marker line
is detected on at least one side of the vehicle.
The system is designed for driving on express-
ways and highways and so it only activates at
speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/h)
(depending on the market).
Applies to vehicles with side assist*: If you acti-
vate a turn signal when active lane assist is ready
and it classifies a lane change as critical because

D_ The corrective steering function is not available in all mar-
kets.
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach-
ing you, there will be noticeable corrective steer-
ing shortly before you leave the lane. This will at-
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies to vehicles without side assist*: When
the system is ready, it will not warn you if you ac-
tivate the turn signal before crossing the lane
marker line. In this case, it assumes that you are
changing lanes intentionally.

Z\ WARNING
— The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective steering.
The
driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
— The system can assist the driver in keeping
the vehicle in the lane, but it does not drive
by itself. Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel.
— Corrective steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as during heavy braking.
— There may be cases where the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines. Correc-
tive steering can only take place on the side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.
— Other road structures or objects could possi-
bly be identified unintentionally as lane
marker lines. As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur.
— The camera view can be restricted, for exam-
ple by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray light shining into the
camera or by dirt on the window. This can
result in active lane assist not detecting the
lane marker lines or detecting them incor-
rectly.
— In certain situations where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch internally from “ear-
ly” to “late” steering correction )).
— Under certain conditions such as ruts in the
road, an inclined roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steering alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane.

89

Assist systems


— For safety reasons, active lane assist must
not be used when there are poor road and/or
weather conditions such as slippery roads,
fog, gravel, heavy rain, snow and the poten-
tial for hydroplaning. Using active lane as-
sist under these conditions may increase the
risk of a crash.

Indicator lights
B Ready: the indicator light turns on when the
system is ready for use. The system can now be
operated.
Not ready: the indicator light turns on if the
system is switched on but is inoperable. This may
be due to the following reasons:
— There is no lane marker line
— The relevant lane marker lines are not detected
(for example, markings in a construction zone
90

or because they are obstructed by snow, dirt,
water or lighting)
— The vehicle speed is below the activation speed
of approximately 40 mph (65 km/h) (the speed
may vary depending on your country).
— The lane is too narrow or too wide
— The curve is too narrow
— The driver's hands are not on the steering
wheel

Side assist helps you monitor your blind spot and
traffic behind your vehicle. Within the limits of =>

8S1012721BB
Assist systems

vehicles detected by side assist are indicated by
the time they enter your “blind spot”, at the lat-
est.
@ Vehicles you are passing
If you slowly pass a vehicle that side assist has
detected (the difference in speed between the ve-
hicle and your vehicle is less than 9 mph (15 km/
h)), the display in the exterior mirror turns on as
soon as the vehicle enters your blind spot.
The display will not turn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side assist has detected (the differ-
ence in speed is greater than 9 mph (15 km/h)).
Functional limitations
The radar sensors are designed to detect the left
and right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are
the normal width. In some situations, the display
in the exterior mirror may turn on even though
there is no vehicle located in the area that is criti-
cal for a lane change. For example:
— If the lanes are narrow or if you are driving on
the edge of your lane. If this is the case, the
system may have detected a vehicle in another
lane that is not adjacent to your current lane.
— If you are driving through a curve. Side assist
may react to a vehicle that is one lane over from
the adjacent lane.
— If side assist reacts to other objects (such as
high or displaced guard rails).
— In poor weather conditions. The side assist
functions are limited.
Do not cover the radar sensors > fig. 102 with
stickers, deposits, bicycle wheels or other ob-
jects, because they will impair the function. For
information on cleaning, see > page 235.

ZA WARNING
— Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle. Side assist cannot
replace a driver's attention. The driver alone
is always responsible for lane changes and
similar driving maneuvers.
—Insome situations, the system may not
function or its function may be limited. For
example:

—If vehicles are approaching or being left
behind very quickly. The display may not
turn on in time.
— In poor weather conditions such as heavy
rain, snow or heavy mist.
— On very wide lanes, in tight curves, or if
there is a rise in the road surface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detected
because they are outside of the sensor
range.
() Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. This can impair the system. Have
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility check their function.
@ Tips
— If the window glass in the driver's door or
front passenger's door has been tinted, the
display in the exterior mirror may be incor-
he Ges

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. With different driving modes, the driver can
switch the setting, for example from sporty to
comfortable. In the Individual mode, the set-
tings can be adjusted to your personal preferen-
ces. This makes it possible to combine settings
such as a sporty drivetrain setting with comforta-
ble steering.

Z\ WARNING
Using Audi drive select incorrectly can lead to
collisions, other accidents and serious inju-
ries.
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select

The vehicle setup in each mode depends on the
vehicle's features.
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode, the engine and auto-
matic transmission respond more quickly or ina
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements.
Suspension control (Audi magnetic ride)*
The suspension control uses sensors to record in-
formation regarding steering movements, brak-
ing and acceleration operations by the driver, as
well as information about the road surface, driv-
ing speed, and load. With drive select, you can
adjust the suspension control to sporty (dynam-
ic), comfortable (comfort) or balanced (auto). >
