During emergency brak ing, your vehicle will
brake s imilar to heavy braking. ESC and the
associated components (ABS, ASR, EDL)
cannot ove rcome the laws of physics. In co r­

are bad, a fu ll brake application can cause
the vehicle to s kid or the rea r end to swe rve,

p ar k the vehicle on leve l grou nd and secure
it by plac ing the sele ctor lever in the P pos i­
tion. See an authorized A udi dealer or au -
thorized A udi Service Facil ity for assistance.
~

Driving - The transmission can overheat and be dam­
aged under certain driving and traffic condi­
tions such as frequent starts, creeping for a
long time, or stop -and-go traffic. When the
@] or. indicator light turns on, stop the
vehicle at the next opportunity and let the
transmission cool
r=;, page 68 .
-Allowing the vehicle to roll when the engine
is stopped will damage the S tronic trans ­
mission because it is not lubricated
¢ page 294, Towing with a tow truck.
@ Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is re­
leased automatically only when the driver's
safety belt is engaged in the buckle.
Hill descent control
The hill descent control system assists the driver
when driving down hills .
Hill descent control is ac tivated 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 brakes. Because hill de ­
scent control cannot shift down farther than 3rd
gear, it may be necessary to shift into tiptronic
mode in very steep areas. In this case, shift man­
ually into 1st or 2nd gear in tiptronic mode to
use the engine's braking force to relieve the
brakes .
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 70, 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
a constant speed under all conditions. Always
be ready to apply the brakes.

Shifting manually (tiptronic mode)

(D Tips
- If you sh ift to the next lowest gear, the
transm ission w ill only shift if the engine w ill

Kick-down
Kick-down enables maximum acceleration.
When you press the accelerator pedal down be­

g ine utilizes its fu ll power , depend ing on veh icle
speed and engine R PM.
It shifts up into t he next

Audi active Lane assist
Description
Appl ie s to: ve hicles w ith Audi ac tive lane assis t
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 override 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 vibration to occur, it must first be sw itched
on in the Infotainment system. 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 so it only activates at
speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/h) (depending on the market).
Applies to vehicles w ith side assist* : if you act i­
vate a turn signal when active lane assist is ready
and it classifies a lane change as critical because
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach­
ing you, there w ill be noticeable corrective steer­
ing shortly before you leave the lane. This will at­
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies to vehicles without side assist* : the sys­
tem does not warn when it is ready if you activate
the turn signal before crossing the lane marker line . In this case, it assumes that you are chang­
ing lanes intentionally .
& WARNING
-The system wa rns the driver that the veh icle
is leav ing the lane using co rrective s teer ing.
1 ) The co rrect ive stee ring fun ctio n is not ava ilabl e in all mar ­
ket s.
72
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can assist the driver in keeping
the vehicle in the lane, but it does not drive
by itself. A lways keep your hands on the
steer ing wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in certain situations, such as during heavy braking.
- There may be cases where the 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 poss i­
bly be identified un intent ionally as lane
marker lines . As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected o r may not occ ur.
- The camera view can be restricted, for ex­
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by ra in,
snow, heavy spray light shin ing into the
camera or by dirt o n the window. This can
result in active lane assist not detecting the
lane marker lines or detecting them incor ­
rectly.
- In certain s ituations where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch internally from "ear­
ly" to "late" steering cor rection
ll.
- Unde r certain cond itions such as r uts in the
road, an inclined 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, active lane assist must
not be used when there are poor road and/
or weather conditions such as slippery
roads, fog, gravel, heavy rain, snow and the potential for hydroplaning . Using active lane
assist under these cond it ions may increase
the risk of a crash.

be due to the following reasons:
- There is no lane marker line.
- T he relevant lane marker lines are not detected
(for example, mark ings in a construction zone
or because they are obstructed by snow, dirt,
water or lighting).
- The vehicle speed is below the activation speed
of approximately 40 mph (65 km/h) (the speed
may vary depending on your country).
- The lane is too narrow or too wide.

Introduction
Applies to : vehicles with Audi drive se lect
Drive select makes it possible to experience dif­
ferent types of vehicle sett ings in one veh icle .
The driver can select from three modes,
Comfort,
Auto
and Dynamic , using the ~t.~, button in the
center console or by using the Infotainment sys­
tem. This allows you to switch between a sporty
and a comfortable driving mode, for example. In
the
Individual mode, the settings can be adjust­
ed to your persona l preferences . This makes it
possible to combine settings such as a sporty en­
gine setting with light steering.
A WARNING
=
Using Audi drive select incorrectly can lead to
collis ions, other accidents and serious inju­
ries .
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive se lect
The vehicle setup in each mode depends on the
vehicle's features. However, the engine and
steering are always affected .
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode, the engine and auto­
matic transmission respond more quickly or in a
more ba lanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements.
Adaptive dampers (Audi magnetic ride)*
The adaptive dampers use sensors to record in­
formation regarding steering movements, brak­
ing and acceleration ope rations by the driver,
road surface, driving speed, and load. With d rive .,..

Assist
select, you can adjust the adaptive dampers to
sporty (dynamic), comfortable (comfort) or bal ­
anced (auto).
Steering
The power steering adapts. Indirect steering that
moves easi ly as in comfort mode is especially
suited to long drives on a highway . The dynamic
mode provides sporty, direct steering.
Torque distribution
The sport different ial d istr ibutes the dr ive power
to the rear axle based on the situation. The distri­
bution of power varies depending on the selected
mode from moderate
( Comfort ) to sporty (Dy­
namic ).
The goal is a high level of agility and abil­
ity to accelerate on curves. The vehicle is very re­
sponsive to steering .
Engine sound*
The engine sound adapts to the current mode
and can be subtle to sporty .

I n some models, the maximum vehicle speed
can only be reached in the auto and dynamic
modes.
