that you are developing enough driving force at
the wheels by depressing the accelerator .
Depending on the weight of the r ig (vehi cle and
tra iler) and the severity of the incline, you may
ro ll backwards as you start . You can prevent roll ­
ing backwards by holding the parking brake
switch pulled out and accelerating -just as you
wou ld when starting on a hill with a conventiona l
h and brake .
Emergency braking
In the event that the conven tional brake system
fails or locks .
~ In an emergency, pull the sw itch and cont inue
to pull it to slow your veh icle down with the
parking b rake.
~ As soon as you release the switch or accelerate,
the b raking process stops .
If you pull the sw itch and hold it above a speed of
about 5 mph (8 km/h) , the eme rgency braking
function is in it iated . The vehicle is braked at all
four wheels by activating the hydraulic brake sys­
te m. T he b rake perfo rman ce is sim ila r t o making
an em ergen cy sto p ~ ,& .
In o rder not to activate the emergency brak ing by
mista ke, an audib le wa rn ing tone (buzze r)
sounds w hen the sw itch is p ulled. As soon as t he
sw itch is rele ased, or the acce le ra to r p edal is de­
p ressed, eme rgency bra king stops.
A WARNING
Emergency bra king should only be use d in an
emergency, w hen the normal foot brake has
fai led or the bra ke pedal is obstructed . Using
the par king b rake to perfo rm emergency
brak ing will slow your vehicle down as if you
had made a full bra ke ap plication . The laws of
physics cannot be suspended even wi th ESC

Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep your
driving speed below a set speed limit.
The speed warning system warns if the driver ex­
ceeds a prev ious ly stored maximum speed. A
warn ing tone w ill sound as soon as the vehicle
speed exceeds the set speed by about
3 mph
(3 km/h). At the same time, a wa rning symbo l
appears in the display. The symbol's appearance
might be different in some models.
The speed warning system has
two warning
thresholds that function independently of each
other and that have somewhat different purpos ­
es:
Speed warning 1
You can use speed warning 1 to set the maximum
speed while yo u are driving. This setting will re­
main in effect unti l yo u turn off the ignition, as-
94
suming that you have not changed or reset the
setting .
The speed warning symbol. (USA models)/ .
(Canada models) in the warning 1 disp lay ap­
pears when you exceed the maxim um speed. It
goes out when the speed falls below the stored
max imum speed .
The speed warning symbol will also go out if the
speed
exceeds the stored maximum speed by
more than about 2S mph (40 km/h) for at least
10 seconds . The stored maximum speed is delet ­
ed.
Setting speed warning 1
¢page 95.
Speed warning 2
Storing warning 2 is recommended if you always
want to be reminded of a ce rtain speed, for ex­
amp le when you are traveling in a country that
has a genera l maximum speed limit, or if you do
not want to exceed a specified speed for winter
tires.
The speed warning 2 symbol ,. (USA mode ls)/
• (Canada models) appears in the display when
you exceed the stored speed limit. Unlike warn­
ing 1, it will not go out until the vehicle speed
drops below the stored speed limit.

(D Tips
Even though your vehicle is eq uipped with a
speed warning system, you should still watch
the speedometer to make sure you are not
driving faster than the speed limit.

Driving with the combustion engine
The vehicle is powered by the combustion eng ine.
The high voltage battery is charged simultane­
ously, if needed .
Full acceleration (boost)
In full acceleration, the vehicle is powered by both the combustion eng ine and the electric mo­
tor . This operating mode is called
Boost and is
only available for a short amount of time because
it uses so much energy. Ava ilability depends on
the high voltage battery charge level.
The boost operating mode is act ivated by press­
ing the accelerator pedal all the way down.
Electric driving
The vehicle can be driven completely electrically
depending on the high voltage battery charge
level and the driving resistance. The combust io n

@ ¢page 98, fig. 110. It can be driven com­
pletely electrically for up to 1.8 miles (3 km) at a
constant
37 mph (60 km/h).
The following conditions must be met to activate
the enhanced electric drive:
- The high voltage battery must be sufficiently
charged.
- Th e temperature of the
12 volt batteries and
the high voltage battery must be sufficient.
- The vehicle speed must not be higher than
62 mph (100 km/h).
- The transmission must not be in tiptronic

Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with Audi drive select
Drive select provides the possibility to experience
d iff erent types of vehicle settings in one veh icle.
F or instance, using the three
Comfort, Auto and
Dynamic modes, the driver can switch from a
sporty to a comfortab le driving mode with the
press of a button.
Addit ionally, in vehicles with MM I*, the vehicle
setup for
Individual* mode can be customized by
you. This makes it possible to combine settings
such as a sporty engine tuning with comfortable
steering.
A WARNING
-
Improper use of the drive select can cause
collisions, other accidents and serious person­
al injury.
Description
App lies to vehicles: with Audi drive select
The vehicle setup in each mode depends on the
veh icle's features . However, the engine, auto­
matic transmission and steering are always in­
volved.
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode, the engine and the au ­
tomatic transm ission respond quicker or in a
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements . In the sporty dynam ic mode, the au­
tomatic transmission shifts at higher RPMs .
Steering
The steering adapts in terms of steering effort
and steering ratios . Indirect steer ing that moves
eas ily, like the steering in comfort mode, is best
suited to long drives on a highway. In contrast,
dynamic mode provides sporty, direct steering.
The follow ing applies to vehicles with dynam ic
steering*: the steering rat io changes based on
vehicle speed in order to ma inta in optim um
steering effort for the driver at all times. This
Audi drive select
sets the steering to be less sensitive at higher
speeds in order to provide improved vehicle con­
tro l. At reduced speeds, however, steering is
more direct in order to keep the steering effort as
minimal as possible when the driver is maneuver­
ing the vehicle. At low and average speeds, dy ­
nam ic steering additionally prov ides more re­
sponsive steering performance .
Adaptive dampers*
The adaptive dampers* use sensors to record in­
formation regarding steering movements, brak­ ing and acceleration operations by the driver,
road surface, driving speed, and load . This makes
it possible to adapt damping to the driving situa­
t ion virtua lly in real time. Drive select also makes
it possible to sat isfy the desire for sporty suspen­
sion (Dynamic) and comfortable suspension
(Comfort) without giving up balanced tuning (Au­
to).
Engine sound*
T he sound of the eng ine is adapted to the select ­
ed mode and ranges from subtle to spo rty.
Adaptive cruise control*
The behavior when accelerating can be adjusted
from comfortable to sporty, depending on the drive select mode. Adaptive cruise control also
responds to the driv ing behavior of the vehicle
ahead in a more conservative or sporty manner.
(D Tips
- In some models, the maximum vehicle
speed can only be reached in the
Auto and
Dynamic modes.
- Selecting the
Dynamic mode results in spo r­
ty shift ing characteristics. The S gear posi­
tion engages automatically.
- In vehicles that have dynamic steering*, op­
erating noise is heard when starting or stop­
ping the engine . This does not indicate a
prob lem.
