Audi drive select
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
Drive se lect makes it possible to experience dif­
fe rent types of vehicle settings in one vehicle.
The dr ive r can se lect
Comfort , Auto a nd Dynamic
modes in the I nfota inme nt system to switch be­
tween , fo r exa mple, a sporty and a co mfo rtable
d riving mo de. Settings ca n be ad justed to your
p e rs o nal pr efe ren ces in
Individual m ode. This
makes it poss ible to comb ine settings su ch as a
sporty eng ine setting w ith smooth stee ring.
Descript ion
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
The fo llow ing systems, among other things, are
i nfluenced by drive select:
Engine and automatic transmission
D epending on the mode, the en gine and auto­
mat ic transmission respond more quickly o r in a
mo re balanced ma nner to accelerator pe dal
movements . In the spo rty
Dynamic mode, the
transmission shifts at higher speed ranges.
Steering
The power s teering adapts. Ind irect s teer ing t hat
moves easi ly as in
comfort mode is espec ia lly
suited to long drives on highways . The
dynamic
mode p rovides sporty, d irect steering.
The fo llow ing applies to vehicles wi th dynam ic
steer ing* : the stee ring rat io chan ges base d on
ve hicle speed in or der to ma inta in optim um
steer ing effort for the drive r at all times. This
sets the steer ing to be less sensitive at higher
speeds i n order to prov ide improved vehicle con-
Assist
t ro l. At r educed spee ds, steeri ng is more direct in
o rder to kee p the steering effort as minima l as
poss ib le when the drive r is maneuvering t he vehi­
cle. Dynam ic steer ing* also p rovides more re­
spons ive steering performance at low and aver­
age speeds .
Suspension control*
The ada ptive dampers * use sensors to reco rd in ­
f ormat ion regard ing steering movements, b rak ­
ing and accele ration operations by the dr iver,
road s urface, driving speed, and load. This makes
it possible to adapt damping to the d riv in g situa­
t io n virtu ally in rea l ti me . Wi th drive select, you
can ad just th e adap tiv e dam pers to sporty
(Dy ­
nami c),
comfo rtable (Comfort ) or balan ced (Au­
to ).
Cornering light*
T he co rne ring light adapts the high beams to the
direction of the curve de pending on the speed .
T he pivo ting ac tion and the lighting also a dapt to
t h e mode.
Adaptive cruise cont rol (ACC)*
The behavio r whe n accelerati ng ca n be adjusted
from comfortable to s porty, depending on the
dr ive selec t mode . Adap tive cruise control also
r espon ds to the dr iv ing behav ior of t he vehicle
ahea d in a m ore conse rv a tive or sporty m an ner.
Engine sound*
The eng ine sound adapts to the c urrent mode
and can be subtle to sporty .
