it is necessary. Always follow traffic laws
regarding mainta ining a safe distance
between your vehicle and veh icles ahead.
- pre sense front works within certain lim­
its and cannot react to situations that
are outside of the system lim its, such as
when approaching a stationary vehicle or
a stationary obstacle (the end of a traffic
jam or a vehicle that has broken down) .
-Always keep in m ind that the radar sen ­
sor for pre sense front only works within defined detection zones, which means
other vehicles may not alw ays be detect­
ed correct ly.
- T he function and range of the radar sen­
sor c an be impaired by rain, snow and
heavy mist. Vehicles ahead may not be
detected right away, o r not detected at
all .
- Reflective surfaces such as guard rails or
entrances to t unnels may impair the
function of the radar sensor .
(D Note
The sensor can be disp laced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, whee l housing and
underbody . The pre sense front sensor can
be damaged by this . Have an authorized
Aud i dea ler or a uthori zed Audi Service Fa­
cility check their function.
(D} Tips
- You can cance l the braking with increas­
ing fo rce that is initiated by the system
by braking yo urself, by accelerating no­
ticeab ly or by swerving.
- For information on dr iver messages
about pre sense, refer to<=> page 97.
- Keep in mind that pre sense front can brake unexpectedly . Always secure any
cargo or objects that you are transport­
i ng to reduce the risk of damage o r in­
Jury .
- Certain pre sense front funct ions switch
off when ESC is sw itched off (sport
mode) or when driving in reverse .

110 Automatic transmission
Automatic
transmission S tronic-transmission
Introduction
Appl ies to vehicles: with S tro nic tr ansmiss ion
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronical­
ly-controlled DSG transmission called S tronic.
Two independent clutches transfer the power
between the engine and transmission. It al­
lows the vehicle to accelerate without a no­
ticeable interruption in traction .
The transmission upshifts or downshifts auto­
matically. The driving style continuously influ­
ences the selection of the driving program.
When a
moderate driving style is used, the
transmission selects the most economica l
driving mode. The transmission upshifts at a
lower RPM and downshifts at a higher RPM to
improve fuel efficiency.
The transmission switches to a sporty mode
after a kick-down or when the driver uses a
sporty driving style characterized by quick ac­
celerator pedal movements, heavy accelera­
tion, frequent changes in speed and traveling
at the maximum speed.
If desired, the driver can also select the gears
manually (tiptronic mode) o page 115,
Shifting manually (tiptronic mode).

matically selects the suitable gear ratio.
It de­
pends on engine load, vehicle speed and driv­
ing style .
Se lect the
sport mode S for sporty driving.

to serious injuries.
- Never leave your vehicle with the engine running while in gear. If you must leave
your veh icle when the engine is running,
set the parking brake and move these­
lector lever to the P position.
- Power is still transferred to the wheels
when the engine is running at idle . To
prevent the vehicle from "c reeping", you
must keep your foot on the brake when
the engine is running and the se lector
lever is in the D, Sor R position or "tip­

Hill descent control
Applies to veh icles: w ith S tronic transm iss io n
Hill descent control assists the driver when
driving down hills .
Hill descent contro l is activated when these­
lector lever is in the Dor 5 position and you
press the brake pedal. The transm ission auto­
matically selects a gear that is su itab le for the
incl ine. Hill descent cont ro l tries to ma inta in
t h e speed ac hieved at the t ime of b raking,
within physica l and tec hni cal limitations. If
may sti ll be necessary to ad just the speed
with the brakes . Because hill descent control
cannot shift down farther than 3rd gea r, it
may be necessary to sh ift into t iptronic mode
i n very steep areas . In this case, shift into 1st
or 2nd gear in t iptron ic mode to use the en­
gine's brak ing force to relieve the brakes .
Hill descent contro l sw itches off once the h ill
levels out or you press the accelerator pedal.
On vehicles with a cruise contro l system*
¢ page 85, hill descent control is also activat ­
ed when the speed is set.
A WARNING
--
H ill descent control cannot overcome
physical lim itations, so it may not be ab le
to maintain a constant speed unde r a ll
conditions. A lways be ready to apply the
b rakes.
