The system works at speeds faster than 19 mph (30 km/h) .
& WARNING
• Improper reliance on the side assist system can cause collisions
and seriou s per sonal injury:
- Never rely only on side assist when changing lanes.
- Alway s check rear view mirrors to make sure that it is safe to
change lanes.
• Side assist cannot detect all vehicles under all condition s­
danger of accident!
• Side a ssist cannot detect vehicle s
in time to alert you when
they approach from behind at very high speed , or fall drop bac;k
very quickly .
• The radar sensor's
vision can be reduced o r entirely blocked by
rain, snow, and heavy spray . Thi s can result in side a ssist not
adequately detecting vehicles o r, in some cases , not detecting
them at all. Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle.
• Plea se note that side assi st indi cates there are approaching
veh icles, or vehicles in your blind spot, only after your vehicle has
reached a driving speed of at lea st 19 mph (30 km/h).
• Side assist signal does not work around tight corners (turning
radius le ss than 328 feet or 100 m).
• Side assist is no replacement for the driver's full attention. The
driver alone is respon sible for lane changes and similar driving
maneuvers. Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle .

Introduction
Audi dr ive select makes it possible to exper ience d ifferent types of
vehicle set tings in one vehi cle. For ins tance, using the three
COMFORT, AUTO and DYNAMIC modes, the driver can switch from a
sporty to a com fortab le dr iv ing mode with the p ress of a bu tton .
Add itionally, in ve hicles with MMI*, the veh icle se tup for I NDI­
VIDUAL * mode can be customized by you. This makes it poss ib le to
combi ne sett ings such as a sporty engi ne tuning w it h light stee ring.
& WARNING
• Improper use of the Audi drive select can cause collisions,
other accident s and serious personal injury.
• Never drive at speeds that are too high for traffic , road and
weather conditions. •

Description
Depending on the mode, the engine and automatic transmission
respond more quickly or in a more balanced ma nner to a ccelera tor
peda l movements.
The
Ser votron ic (power steering assistance)=> page 246 can also be
adapted to d riving situat ions.
Dynamic steering changes the steering rat io as a function of the
driv ing speed in order to op tim ize t he d river's required steer ing
effort . This sets the steer ing to be less sensitive at highe r sp eeds in

orde
r to provid e greate r contro l over the ve hicle. At r educ ed spe eds,
howeve r, steering is mo re direct in order to keep the stee ring effort
as minimal as possible whe n the drive r is maneuve ring the vehi cle. At
low and average speeds, dynamic steering add itiona lly p rovides more
responsive steer ing perfo rm ance. The driver can set the basi c
steering rat io characteristics.
Th e
adaptive damper s use sensors to recor d informat ion regar ding
stee rin g movements, b raking and accele ration ope ra tions by the
dr iver, road sur face , d riving speed, and load. This makes it possib le to
adapt damp ing to t he d riving situat ion virt ua lly in rea l time . Audi

Selecting the driving mode
You can choose between COMFORT, AUTO, DYNAMIC and
INDIVIDUAL* modes.

console: Control for
Audi drive select
The control is located on the shift gate~ fig. 149 in vehicles
with a radio, and in vehicles with MMI, it is located in the
center console~ fig. 150.
- Turn on the ignition .
- Press the left or right arrow button u ntil the desired mode
appears in red.
You can change the driving mode when the vehicle is stationary or
whil e driving. If traffic permits, after changing modes, briefly take
your foot off the accelerator pedal so that the recently selected mode
is also activated for the eng ine and transmission .
COMFORT
The COMFORT mode provides a comfo rtable vehicle se tting. The
engine and automatic t ransm ission* react in a balanced manner to
movements of the acce leration pedal. Steering is light and indirect,
and adaptive dampe rs provide a soft s uspension . The setting is ideal
for driving on long stretches, such as on freeways .
AUTO
Full use of AUTO provides a comfortable, yet dynamic feel. The
sett ing is perfect for daily use .
DYNAMIC
DYNAMIC gives the vehicle a sporty feeling. The eng ine responds
quickly to accelerator pedal movements, and steering is sporty and
more direct. The adaptive dampers are adjusted to provide a stiffer
suspension, and the automatic transmission* shift points are set at
higher engine speed ranges. The setting is ideal for sporty driving.
INDIVIDUAL*
You can adapt this mode to your personal needs in the MMI.
& WARNING
Pay attention to traffic when operating Audi drive select to
prevent potential risk of an accident .
(I] Tips
If you remove the ignition key, AUTO mode is set the next time you
start the ignition. •

_& WARNING
• Unintended vehicle movement can cause serious injury.
- When the selector lever is
in a driving position, the vehicle
may creep, even at idle speed. Therefore do not release the
parking brake
or foot brake until you are ready to move,
because power is transmitted to the wheels as soon as a driving
position is engaged.
- Do not accelerate while selecting a driving position . At this
time the engine must be at idle speed so that undue stress is
not placed on the clutches in the transmission.
- Remember : · even when stopped briefly with the automatic
transmission
in " D", "S" or "R", engine power is being trans­
mitted to the wheels. Your vehicle could "creep " forward or
backward. When stopped, keep the brake pedal fully
depressed and use the parking brake if necessary to keep the
vehicle from rolling .
• If the selector lever is unintentionally moved into N while you
are driving, take your foot off the accelerator pedal and wait for
the engine to return to idle speed before selecting a driving posi­
tion.
• Never shift into "R" or "P " when the vehicle is in motion .
• Never get out of the d river's seat when the engine is running.
• If you must get out of the vehicle , move the selector lever
securely into the P position and apply the parking brake firmly .
• If the engine must remain running, never have any driving
position engaged when checking under the hood. Make sure the
selector lever has securely engaged and is locked in "P " with the

N -Neutral
The transmission is in neutral in this position . Shift to this position
for standing with the brakes applied~

When the vehicle is stationary or at speeds below 3 mph (5 km/h),
you must always apply the footbrake before and while moving the
lever out of
N.
D -Normal position for driving forward
Position Dis for normal city and highway driving. It ranges from zero
to top speed and all gears shift automatically, depending on engine
load, driving speed and automatically selected shift programs.
When the vehicle is stationary or at speeds below 3 mph (5 km/h),
you must always apply the foot brake before and while moving the
lever to
D out of N .
In certa in circumstances it may be advantageous to temporarily
switch to the manual shift program to manually select gear ratios to
match specific driving conditions~
page 152.
S -Sport position*
Select this position for sportier performance. In this position, the
transmission will not upshift as soon, allowing the vehicle to use the
increased power available at higher engine speeds to achieve livelier
acceleration . When the vehicle
is stationary or at speeds below 3 mph (5 km/h),
you must always apply the foot brake before and while moving the
lever to
S out of N.
& WARNING
Read and follow all WARNINGS=> & in "Driving the automatic

Coasting downhill with the transmission in N and the engine not
running will result in damage to the automatic t ransmiss ion and

dep ress the brake peda l. As a reminder to the d river, the following
warning appears in the instrument cluster display when the se lector

When stationary apply footbrake while selecting gear
A time delay e lement prevents t he selector leve r from lock ing when

Kick-down
The kick -down feature allows the vehicle to generate
maximum acceleration .
When you press the accelerator peda l beyond the resis tance po int
that is reached at full throttle, the transmission will select a lower
gear rat io b ased on vehicle speed and e ngine RPM . The engine R PM
will be controlled to produce maximum vehicle acceleration as long
as you con tinue to press the acceler ator pedal beyond t his resistance
point .
& WARNING
Be careful when using the kick-down featu re on slippery roads.
Rapid a cceleration may cau se the vehicle to skid .•
