Driving
-Never hold the vehicle on an incline with a
slipping clutch. The clutch opens automati
cally when it becomes too hot from the
overload . The
[i1 indicator Light turns on
and a message appears~
page 81 when
the clutch is overloaded.
(D Note
-When stopping on an incline, do not try to
hold the vehicle in place by pressing the ac
celerator pedal while a driving gear is se
lected. This can cause the transmission to
overheat and can damage it. Set the parking brake or press the brake pedal to prevent
the vehicle from rolling.
- Allowing the vehicle to roll when the engine
is stopped will damage the transmission be
cause it is not lubricated .
@ 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 Dor S position and you press
the brake pedal. The transmission automatically
selects a gear that is suitable for the hill . Hill de
scent control tries to maintain the speed ach
ieved at the time of braking, within physical and
technical limitations. If may still be necessary to
adjust the speed with the brake pedal.
Hill descent control switches off once the hill lev
els out or you press the accelerator pedal.
On vehicles with a cruise control system*
~ page 86, hill descent control is also activated
when the speed is set.
A WARNING
Hill descent control cannot overcome physical
limitations , so it may not be able to maintain
80
a constant speed under all conditions. Always
be ready to apply the brakes .
Shifting manually (tiptronic mode)
The tiptronic mode allows the driver to shift the
gears manually.

Audi active Lane assist
Description
Appl ies to: ve hicles w ith 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
correct ive steering . You can ove rride th is steer ing
at any time . If you pass over a line, the steer ing
wheel will v ibrate l ightly. In order for this warn
ing vib ration to occur, it must fi rst be sw itched
on in the Infotainment sys tem . 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 therefore only activates
at speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/
h).
A pp lies to: ve hicles w ith s ide assist
If you activate a turn sig na l when active lane as
sist is ready and it classifies a lane change as crit
ical because of vehicles traveling alongside you or
approaching you, there will be noticeab le correc
tive steering shortly before you leave the lane.
This will attempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
A ppl ies to: ve hicles w ithout s ide ass ist
The system will not warn you before crossing a
lane marker line if yo u have activated the tu rn
signa l. In this case, it ass umes that you are
changing lanes intentiona lly .
A ppl ies to: ve hicles with adaptive cruise co ntrol
The corrective stee ring is targeted based on the
driving situat ion . In addition to the lane marker
96
li nes, the system can a lso take into account other
objects such as guard rails. If they are detected in close prox imity to the ve hicle, active lane assist
helps prevent the vehicle from dr iving too close
to them. There is a lso pass ing ass istance. The
system does not provide any corrective steering if i t detects that you are pass ing another vehicle .
A WARNING
-The system warns the drive r that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using cor rect ive steering.
The drive r is always responsible fo r keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can help you keep the vehicle in
the lane, but it does not drive by itse lf. Al
ways keep your hands on the steering
wheel.
- Cor rective steering m ay no t occur in certain
si tuations, such as during heavy braking.
- There may be cases where t he camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines . Correc
tive steering can only take place on the s ide
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.
- Other road structures or objects could possi
bly be identified unintent ionally as lane
marker lines. As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur.
- The camera view can be restricted, for ex
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray or light shining into the
camera . This can result in active lane ass ist
not detecting the lane marker lines or de
tect ing them inco rrectly .
- Under certain cond it ions such as ruts in the
road, a banked roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steer ing alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the m iddle of the lane.
- For safety reasons, act ive la ne assist must
no t be use d when there are poor road and/
or weather condi tions such as slippery
roads, fog, gravel, heavy rain, snow and the potential for hydrop laning. Using active lane
assist under these conditions may increase
the risk of a crash.

The adjustment depends on the driving mode se
l ected, steering movements, the driver's brak ing
and accelerat ion, and as the road su rface, vehicle
speed and load.
The vehicle ground clearance depends on the mode se lected and the speed . When you are in
the
auto , the highway setting is act ivated when
you dr ive above 75 mph (120 km/h) for more
than 30 seconds. The g round clearance is in
creased automat ica lly if the speed drops below
44 mph (70 km/h) for more than 120 seconds .
Steering
The power steering adapts. Ind irect steering that
moves easily as in comfort mode is especially
sui ted to long drives on a h ighway. The Dynamic
mode provides sporty, direct steering .
Applie s to: vehicles with dynamic steering
The steering ratio changes based on vehicle
speed in order to maintain optimum steering ef
fort for the dr iver at a ll times. This sets the steer
i ng to be less sensit ive at higher speeds in order
to p rovide imp roved vehicle contro l. At reduced
speeds, steer ing is mo re direct in order to keep
t he s teering effo rt as m inima l as poss ib le when
t he dr iver is maneuvering the vehicle . At low and
ave rage speeds, dynamic steering* additionally
p rovides more responsive stee ring performance.
Sport differential *
As a component of the all wheel d rive system
(quattro)
<=? page 124 , the sport diffe rential dis
tr ib utes the dr iv ing power to the rear ax le de
pending on the situation. The distribution o f
power varies from balanced (comfort) to sporty
(dynamic) depending on the selected mode . The
goa l is a high leve l of agility and ab ility to accel
erate on curves. The ve hicle is very respons ive to
steer ing.
Cornering light*
The cornering light adapts the high beams to the
direction of the curve depending on the speed.
The pivot ing action and the light ing also adapt to
~ t he mode . .... N

Adaptive cruise control*
T he behavio r whe n accelerating ca n be adjusted
from comfortable to sporty, depending on the
drive select mode. Adaptive cruise control also
responds to the driving behavior of the vehicle
ahead in a more conservative or sporty manner.
Engine sound *
The eng ine sound adapts to the c urren t mode
and can be subtle to sporty.
(D Note
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive ai r suspension
- Make sure there is enough clearance above
and be low the vehicle when parking. The
height of the vehicle (gro und clearance) can
change once it is parked due to temperature
fluctuations, changes to the load conditions
and changes to the dr iving modes .
- When transporting the vehicle on a car car
r ie r, train, ship or by other means, o nly tie
the vehicle down at the run ning s urface of
the t ires , which is the outer c ircumference.
Se cur ing the vehicle at the axle compo
nents, sus pen sion str uts o r towing eyes is
no t perm itted because the pressure in the
air suspens ion struts can change d uring
transport . The vehicle may not be secured
sufficiently if th is happens .
(D Tips
-In some models, the maximum vehicle
speed can only be reached in the auto and
dynamic modes.
- The S selector lever position automatica lly
engages if the dynamic mode is selected.
- Applies to: vehicles with dynamic steering:
operating noise is heard when starting or
