Voice recognition system 
General information 
Applies to: vehicles with voice recognition system 
You can operate many functions in the vehicle 
easily using voice commands. 
Using the voice recognition system optimally 
> Speak clearly and distinctly at a normal volume. 
Speak louder when driving faster. 
> Emphasize the words in the commands evenly 
and do not leave long pauses. 
> Close the doors, the windows, and the sunroof* 
to reduce background noise. Make sure that 
passengers are not speaking when you are giv- 
ing a voice command. 
> Do not direct the vents toward the hands-free 
microphone, which is in the roof headliner near 
the front interior lights. 
> Only the driver should speak to the system, be- 
cause the handsfree microphone is aimed to- 
ward this seating position. 
  
  
ZA\ WARNING 
— Direct your full attention to driving. As the 
driver, you have complete responsibility for 
safety in traffic. Only use  the functions in 
such a way that you always maintain com- 
plete control over your vehicle in all traffic 
situations. 
— Do not use the voice recognition system in 
emergencies because your voice may  change 
in stressful situations. The system may take 
longer to dial the number or may not be 
able to dial it at all. Dial the emergency 
number manually.

— PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF #; ON ® indi- 
cator light in the headliner:this indicates if the 
front passenger's airbag is activated or deacti- 
vated 
- indicator light in the instrument cluster: 
this monitors the function of the Advanced Air- 
bag System components to ensure they are 
functioning correctly 
How the components function together 
The passenger occupant detection sensor in the 
front passenger's seat detects if the front pas- 
senger's seat is occupied. The passenger occu- 
pant detection sensor measures the electrical ca- 
pacity on the front passenger’s seat. The pas- 
senger's airbag is activated or deactivated de- 
pending on the electrical capacity that is meas- 
ured. 
The passenger's airbag is activated if: 
— The electrical capacity is higher than the 
threshold stored in the control module 
— The electrical capacity is the same as  or greater 
than the electrical capacity of a typical adult 
The passenger's airbag is deactivated if: 
— The electrical capacity is lower than the thresh- 
old stored in the control module 
— The electrical capacity is the same as  or less 
than the electrical capacity of a typical one- 
year-old child in a child safety seat that has 
been used for certification in accordance with 
FMVSS 208 
If the front passenger's airbag is activated, the 
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON @ indicator light 
will turn on. If the front passenger's airbag is de- 
activated, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF #; 
indicator light will turn on. 
The deployment force of the front airbags adapts 
based on whether or not  the safety belt is used 
and the distance between the seat and the steer- 
ing wheel/instrument panel. For example, if a 
person is too close to the front airbag, the front 
airbag will deploy with less force to help reduce 
the risk of injury. 
Meaning of PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF 3%, ON 
® indicator light 
When the ignition is switched on, the system de- 
tects whether the front passenger's seat is occu- 
pied. PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF #;, ON @ 
will turn on for several seconds during this proc- 
ess. Then it will indicate whether the front pas- 
senger's airbag is activated or deactivated. 
— PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF #%;: the front 
passenger's airbag is deactivated and will not 
deploy in the event of an accident. 
— PASSENGER AIR BAG ON ®: the front pas- 
senger's airbag is activated and could deploy in 
the event of an accident. 
If a change to the occupancy status of the front 
passenger's seat is detected 
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF #; ON @ will 
flash for several seconds and will then display the 
status of the front passenger's airbag. 
Always make sure the indicator light corresponds 
to the occupancy of the front passenger's seat. 
— An adult or individual of similar size in the 
front passenger's seat:  the front passenger's 
airbag must be activated, therefore 
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON ® must remain 
turned on. 
— An individual of smaller size (for example, an 
adolescent or small adult) in the front pas- 
senger's seat: the front passenger's airbag 
must be activated, so 
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON ® must stay on. 
— Child in a child safety seat on the front pas- 
senger's seat:  the front passenger's airbag 
must be deactivated, so 
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF #; must stay on. 
— Front passenger's seat  not occupied: the front 
passenger's airbag must be deactivated, so 
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF #; must stay on. 
  
ZA\ WARNING 
— An adult or a person with a small stature 
(such as a young person or small adult) seat- 
ed on the front passenger's seat will not be 
protected by the passenger's airbag in the 
event of a collision if the passenger's airbag

rear axle will be distributed with the sport differ- 
ential* to be more sporty or moderate 
> page 116. 
In RS models, the sport differential is adjusted 
using a separate menu item. 
Steering 
The power steering will adapt. Light steering is 
suitable for long trips on highways or smooth 
driving around curves, for example. 
Suspension 
The suspension adjusts to be tighter or more 
comfort-oriented when it comes to compensat- 
ing for uneven spots on the road. 
The vehicle ground clearance is adjusted by the 
air suspension* based on the setting. 
Engine sound 
The engine sound adapts and can be subtle to 
sporty. In the automatic setting, the engine 
sound depends on the selected driving program.

Applies to: vehicles with air suspension 
The air suspension is an electronically-controlled 
suspension and leveling system. The firmness of 
the suspension will adapt to the driving condi- 
tions and the driving situation. The system balan- 
ces out changes in load. The vehicle level will also 
adapt gradually to the vehicle speed in order to 
reduce the wind resistance at high speeds and in- 
crease the ground clearance at low speeds. The 
settings depend on the selected Audi drive se- 
lect* mode. 
Displaying the vehicle level 
> Applies to MMI: Select on the home screen: VE- 
HICLE > Audi drive select. 
The filled-in boxes represent the current vehicle 
level. The more boxes that are filled in, the high-

and thus the maximum ground clearance. 
> Press Lower to lower the vehicle down again. 
The Audi drive select* mode will be changed if 
necessary when the vehicle is raised. 
The vehicle will lower at speeds of approximately 
22 mph (35 km/h) and below. This function may 
only be used temporarily when increased ground 
clearance is necessary. It is not intended for long 
drives.

Electronic Stabilization 
Control 
Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) supports 
driver safety. It reduces the risk of slipping and 
improves driving stability. ESC detects critical sit- 
uations, such as if the vehicle is oversteering or 
understeering, or if the wheels are spinning. 
The brakes are applied or the engine  torque is re- 
duced in order to stabilize the vehicle. 
The following stabilization functions are integrat- 
ed into the ESC, among others: 
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) 
ABS prevents the wheels from locking when brak- 
ing. The vehicle can still be steered even during 
hard braking. Apply steady pressure to the brake 
pedal. Do not pump the pedal. 
A pulsing in the brake pedal indicates that the 
system is acting to stabilize the vehicle. 
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) 
ASR reduces drive power when the wheels begin 
spinning and adapts the power to the road condi- 
tions. This will increase the driving stability. 
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) 
The EDL applies the brakes to wheels that are 
slipping and transfers the drive power to the oth- 
er wheels. This function is not available at higher 
speeds. 
In extreme cases, EDL automatically switches off 
to keep the brake on the braked wheel from over- 
heating. The vehicle is still functioning correctly. 
EDL will switch on again automatically when con- 
ditions have returned to normal. 
Selective wheel torque control 
Selective wheel torque control is used when driv- 
ing on curves. Braking is targeted toward the 
wheels on the inside of the curve as needed. This 
allows more precise driving in curves. 
Power steering 
The ESC can also support vehicle stability 
through steering. 
  
ZA WARNING 
— The ESC and its integrated systems cannot 
overcome the limits imposed by natural 
physical laws. This is especially important on 
slippery or wet roads. If the systems begin 
acting to stabilize your vehicle, you should 
immediately alter your speed to match the 
road 
and traffic conditions. Do not let the in- 
creased safety provided tempt you into  tak- 
ing risks. This could increase your risk of a 
collision. 
— Please note the risk of a collision increases 
when driving fast, especially through curves 
and on slippery or wet roads, and when driv- 
ing too close to objects ahead.  There is still 
a risk of accidents because the ESC  and its 
integrated systems cannot always prevent 
collisions. 
— Accelerate carefully when driving on 
smooth, slippery surfaces such as ice and 
snow. The drive wheels can spin even when 
these control systems are installed and this 
can affect driving stability and increase the 
risk of a collision. 
@) Tips 
— The ABS and ASR only function correctly 
when all four wheels have a similar wear 
condition. Different tire sizes can lead toa 
reduction in engine power. 
  
    
— You may hear noises when the systems de- 
scribed are working. 
The So button (or #, depending on the model) 
for controlling the ESC is located in the center 
console, in front of the selector lever. The ESC is 
automatically switched on when the ignition is 
switched on. 
Limiting  ESC 
In some situations, it may make sense to limit 
the stabilizing function of the ESC so that the >

example, the system does not have enough steer- 
ing power in tight curves). Take over steering. 
rg turns white, lane guidance is switched on 
but is not active. This may occur  due to the fol- 
lowing system limits or situations: 
— The necessary lane marker lines have not been 
detected (for example, in a construction zone 
or because the lines are obstructed by snow, 
dirt, water, or lighting) 
— The lane is too narrow or too wide 
— The curve is too narrow 
— Visibility is obstructed by a rise or dip. 
— The driver's hands are not on the steering 
wheel 
— The turn signal was activated. 
Steering intervention request 
If no steering activity is detected or the limits of 
the system are reached, the driver steering inter- 
vention request will alert the driver using audio 
and visual signals, such as B or BE. Take over 
the steering and keep your hands on the steering 
wheel so that you will be ready to steer at any 
time. The system will become inactive after a 
short time and will only be active again later.

If the driver does not take  over steering, adaptive 
cruise assist will be canceled. If the vehicle is 
equipped with emergency assist and it is ready to 
function, it will be activated if possible 
> page 158. 
  
ZA WARNING 
Observe the safety precautions and note the 
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and 
cameras > page 122. 
(i) Tips 
— Always keep  your hands on the steering 
wheel so you can be ready to steer at any 
time. The driver is always responsible for 
adhering to the regulations applicable in 
the country where the vehicle is being oper- 
ated. 
— Audi recommends only switching on lane 
guidance on well-constructed roads. 
—The & fig. 103 button switches lane guid- 
ance availability and the lane departure 
warning on or off simultaneously, if lane

without a speed limit, the system will regu- 
late the speed to 80 mph (130 km/h)». 
Then the system adjusts to the last speed 
set by the driver. 
— There is no adaptation to speed limits when 
driving through highway interchanges and 
when driving on or off the expressway. 
— The system can fail to provide control or the 
control may be faulty if the values from the 
camera-based traffic sign recognition* are 
incorrect or the navigation system map data 
is outdated. 
— When route guidance is switched on, the 
system adapts to the route provided by the 
navigation system. Driving without route 
guidance or leaving a route can result in 
faulty control.

automatically connect to the MMI when the 
Bluetooth function is switched on, when 
they are within  range, and when the ignition 
is switched on. The last connected mobile 
device is given first priority. 
— You can manage additional settings for con- 
nected mobile devices in the Connected de- 
vices menu > page 235. 
— When leaving the vehicle, the Bluetooth 
connection to the mobile device will auto- 
matically disconnect. Depending on your 
mobile device, phone calls in progress may 
be automatically redirected from the MMI 
to your mobile device so that you can con- 
tinue the call on your phone.
