Driving

P - Park
You can only shift into Park when the vehicle is
stationary > A.
To shift in and out of the P selector lever position,
press the interlock button in the selector lever
while pressing the brake pedal.
R - Reverse
Only shift into reverse gear when the vehicle is
stationary and the engine is running at idle
speed >A.
To select the R selector lever position, press the
interlock button while pressing the brake pedal.
The back-up lights switch on in the R position if
the ignition is switched on.
N - Neutral (idle)
The transmission is in idle in this position.
D/S - Normal position for driving forward
In the D/S selector lever position, the transmis-
sion can be operated either in the normal D mode
or in the S sport mode. To select the S sport
mode, pull the selector lever back briefly. Pulling
the lever back again will select the normal D
mode. The selected driving mode is shown in the
Infotainment display.
In the normal mode "D", the transmission auto-
matically selects the correct gear. It depends on
engine load, vehicle speed and driving style.
Select the sport mode "S" for sporty driving. The
vehicle makes full use of the engine's power.
Shifting may become noticeable when accelerat-
ing.
To move from selector lever position "N" to "D",
you must press the brake pedal and the vehicle
must be traveling less than 1 mph (2 km/h) or be
stationary > A.


— Never select "R" or "P" while driving, be-
cause this increases the risk of an accident.
— Power is still transmitted to the wheels
when the engine is running at idle. To pre-
vent the vehicle from “creeping”, you must
keep your foot on the brake in all selector
lever positions (except “P”) when the engine
is running. Otherwise, this increases the risk
of an accident.
— Do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped if a gear is
engaged. Otherwise the vehicle will start to
move immediately, even if the parking brake
is set. This could result in a crash.
— Do not press the accelerator pedal when
changing the selector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
running.
— Never leave your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear. If you must leave your
vehicle when the engine is running, set the
parking brake and move the selector lever to
the "P" position.
— To decrease the risk of an accident, the se-
lector lever must be in the P position and
the parking brake must be set before open-
ing the hood and working ona running en-
gine. Always read and follow the applicable
warnings > page 200, General information.


Z\ WARNING
Read and follow all WARNINGS.
— Before starting to drive, check if the desired
selector lever position is displayed next to
the selector lever.
— The vehicle can roll even if the ignition is

switched off.

82
@) Note
Never let the vehicle roll downhill with engine
off and the selector lever in the "N" position,
because this could damage the automatic
transmission and catalytic converter.
(i) Tips
— Drive select: sporty shifting characteristics
can be selected using the Dynamic driving
mode. The Infotainment display shows “S”
as the selector lever position instead of “D”.
— If you accidentally select "N" while driving,
take your foot off the accelerator pedal im-
mediately and wait for the engine to slow
down to idle before selecting "D" or "S".
— If there is a power failure, the selector lever
will not move out of the "P" position. The >

Driving

You can shift the gears manually when in “D”

Kick-down enables maximum acceleration.
When you press the accelerator pedal down be-
yond the resistance point, the automatic trans-
mission downshifts into a lower gear and the en-
gine utilizes its full power, if the vehicle speed
and engine RPM permit. It shifts up into the next
higher gear once the maximum permitted engine
RPM is reached.

ZA\ WARNING
Please note that the wheels could spin on
slick or slippery roads when kick-down is ac-
tive.

Audi drive select (drive
settings)
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
Drive select makes it possible to experience dif-
ferent types of vehicle characteristics in one vehi-
cle. With different driving modes, the driver can
switch the setting, for example from sporty to
comfortable. In the Individual mode, the set-
tings can be adjusted to your personal preferen-
ces. This makes it possible to combine settings
such as a sporty drivetrain setting with comforta-
ble steering.


Using Audi drive select incorrectly can lead to
collisions, other accidents and serious inju-
ries.

Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select

The vehicle setup in each mode depends on the
vehicle's features.
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode, the engine and auto-
matic transmission respond more quickly or ina
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements.
Suspension control (Audi magnetic ride)*
The suspension control uses sensors to record in-
formation regarding steering movements, brak-
ing and acceleration operations by the driver, as
well as information about the road surface, driv-
ing speed, and load. With drive select, you can
adjust the suspension control to sporty (dynam-
ic), comfortable (comfort) or balanced (auto).
96

Steering
The power steering adapts. Indirect steering that
moves easily as in comfort mode is especially
suited to long drives on a highway. The dynamic
mode provides sporty, direct steering.
Engine sound*
The engine sound adapts to the current mode
and can be subtle to sporty.


— Certain vehicle settings will be reset when
the ignition is switched off.
— In some models, the maximum vehicle
speed can only be reached in the auto and
dynamic modes.
Selecting the driving mode
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
You can choose between comfort, auto, dynamic
and individual.

Checking and Filling

Checking and Filling
Fuel
Types of gasoline
The correct gasoline grade is stated on the inside
of the fuel filler door.
The vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter
and must only be driven with unleaded gasoline.
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas-
oline. For additional information on TOP TIER De-
tergent Gasoline, visit www.toptiergas.com.
The individual gasoline grades are differentiated
by octane ratings. This value is given with (R
+M)/2 equating to AKI or in RON.
The headings below match the sticker in the fuel
filler door (examples):
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY MIN. (R+M)/2 87
Regular / MIN. RON 91 Regular
Use regular gasoline with minimum 87 AKI /
91 RON >©.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY PREMIUM MIN. (R
+M)/2 91 / SUPER MIN. RON 95
Using premium gasoline with minimum 91 AKI /
95 RON is recommended.
Applies to: TT and TTS models: If premium gaso-
line is not available, you can also use regular gas-
oline 87 AKI / 91 RON. However this does reduce
the engine power slightly.
Applies to: RS models: To achieve the specified
power and torque, Audi recommends using pre-
mium plus gasoline with at least 93 AKI / 98
RON.
Applies to: RS models: If premium gasoline is not
available, you can also use regular 87 AKI /
91 RON gasoline if absolutely necessary. Howev-
er, you must only drive in the middle of the RPM
range and with low engine load. Refuel your vehi-
cle with premium gasoline as soon as possible.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY PREMIUM MIN. (R
+M)/2 93 / SUPER PLUS MIN. RON 98
Using premium plus gasoline with at least 93
AKI / 98 RON is recommended.
196
If no premium plus gasoline is available, you can
also use premium gasoline with 91 AKI / 95 RON.
However this does reduce the engine power
slightly.
C) Note
— Filling the tank just one time with leaded
fuel or other metallic additives will cause
permanent deterioration to the catalytic
converter function.
— When gasoline with an octane rating that is
too low is used, high speeds or heavy engine
load can lead to engine damage.
G) Tips
The vehicle may be filled with fuel that has a
higher octane rating than what is required by
the engine.
Gasoline mixture
Gasoline with alcohol or MTBE (Methyl-Tert-
Butyl-Ether)
You can use unleaded gasoline mixed with alco-
hol or MTBE (generally labeled as oxygenated
compounds) as long as the fuel meets the follow-
ing conditions:
Gasoline with methanol content (methyl alco-
hol or methanol)
— Anti-Knock Index is at least 87 AKI
—No more than 3% methanol
— More than 2% solvent
Gasoline with ethanol content (ethyl alcohol or
ethanol)
— Anti-Knock Index is at least 87 AKI
—No more than 15% ethanol
Gasoline with MTBE content
— Anti-Knock Index is at least 87 AKI
—No more than 15% MTBE
Gasoline adapted to the season
Many gasoline fuels are adapted to the seasons.
When the season changes, refueling at high-traf-
fic gas stations is recommended. It is more likely
that the gasoline will be suitable for the season
there.

New tires or wheels
Audi recommends having all work
on tires or wheels performed by
an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility.
These facilities have the proper
knowledge and are equipped with
the required tools and replace-
ment parts.
>New tires do not yet have the
optimal gripping properties.
Drive carefully and at moderate
speeds for the first 350 miles
(500 km) with new tires.
> Only use tires with the same de-
sign, size (rolling circumfer-
ence), and as close to the same
tread pattern as possible on all
four wheels.
> Applies to: RS models: Only use
tires with the same design, size
(rolling circumference), and the
same tread pattern on all four
wheels.
>Do not replace tires individually.
At least replace both tires on the
same axle at the same time.

Wheels

> Audi recommends using Audi
Genuine Tires. If you would like
to use different tires, please
note that the tires may perform
differently even if they are the
same size > A.
>If you would like to equip your
vehicle with a tire and rim com-
bination that is different from
what was installed at the facto-
ry, consult with an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility before making a
purchase > A.
Because the spare tire® is differ-
ent from the regular tires instal-
led on the vehicle (such as winter
tires or wide tires), only use the
spare tire* temporarily in case of
emergency and drive carefully
while it is in use. It should be re-
placed with a regular tire as soon
as possible.
Applies to: vehicles with all wheel
drive: All four wheels must be
equipped with tires that are the
same brand and have the same
construction and tread pattern so
that the drive system is not dam-
aged by different wheel speeds.
For this reason, in case of emer-
gency, only use a spare tire* that
222
is the same circumference as the
regular tires.

Z\ WARNING
—Only use tire/rim combina-
tions and suitable wheel bolts
that have been approved by
Audi. Otherwise, damage to
the vehicle and an accident
could result.
—For technical reasons, it is not
possible to use tires from oth-
er vehicles. In some cases, you
cannot even use tires from the
same vehicle model.
—Make sure that the tires you
select have enough clearance
to the vehicle. Replacement
tires should not be chosen
simply based on the nominal
size, because tires with a dif-
ferent construction can differ
greatly even if they are the
same size. If there is not
enough clearance, the tires or
the vehicle can be damaged
and this can reduce driving
safety and increase the risk of
an accident.
—Only use tires that are more
than six years old when abso-
lutely necessary and drive

carefully when doing so.
