A WARNING
Improper use of the A udi drive select can

ous pe rsonal injury.
Description
The vehicle setup in each mode depends on
the veh icl e's featu res. The engine, t ransm is
sion, stee ring, reve rsible sa fe ty belt tension
e rs a nd adap tive air su spension are alw ays in
volved.
Engine and transmission
Depending on the mode, the e ng ine and the
tra nsmission respond quic ker or i n a more bal

the road s urface, ve hicle speed and load. A
sporty setting is generally used in ve hicles
with adaptive air suspension sport*. T
