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
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.

80
@) 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.
G) 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 >

> Press the brake pedal while pressing the inter-
lock button.
Automatic shift lock (ASL)
The selector lever is locked in the "P" and "N" po-
sitions when the ignition is switched on. You
must press the brake pedal to select another po-
sition. You must also press the interlock button if
you are moving from the "P" position. The follow-
ing message appears in the display when the se-
lector lever is in the "P" or "N" position to remind
the driver:
To select a gear, please press brake pedal and
press lock button on selector lever
The automatic shift lock only functions when the
vehicle is stationary or at speeds below 1 mph
(2 km/h). At higher speeds, the lock is automati-
cally deactivated in the "N" position.
The selector lever is not locked when shifting
quickly through "N", for example from "R" to "D".
This makes it possible to free the vehicle when it
is stuck by “rocking” it. The selector lever lock en-
gages if the lever stays in the "N" position longer
than approximately two seconds when the brake
pedal is not pressed.
Interlock button
The interlock button in the selector lever handle
prevents you from moving the selector Lever in-
advertently while in some selector lever posi-
tions. The positions that require the interlock
button to be pressed are marked in color in the il-
lustration > fig. 86.

Z\ WARNING
Read and follow all WARNINGS. > A\ in Selec-
tor lever positions on page 80.
G) Tips
— If the selector lever does not engage, there
is a malfunction. The engine is disabled to
prevent the vehicle from driving off uninten-
tionally. To allow the selector lever to en-
gage again, proceed as follows:
— Briefly press the brake pedal.
— If the vehicle does not move forward or in
reverse even though a drive position is se-
lected, proceed as follows:
— If the vehicle does not move in the desired
direction, the system may not have engaged
the drive position correctly. Press the brake
pedal and select the drive position again.
— If the vehicle still does not move in the de-
sired direction, there is a system malfunc-
tion. See an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility for assistance
to have the system checked.
The transmission shifts up and down automati-
cally when in the driving gears.

Audi active lane assist
Applies to: vehicles with Audi active lane assist
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
corrective steering. You can override this steering
at any time. If you pass over a line, the steering
wheel will vibrate lightly. In order for this warn-
ing vibration to occur, it must first be switched
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 with side assist*: If you acti-
vate a turn signal when active lane assist is ready
and it classifies a lane change as critical because

D_ The corrective steering function is not available in all mar-
kets.
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach-
ing you, there will 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*: When
the system is ready, it will not warn you if you ac-
tivate the turn signal before crossing the lane
marker line. In this case, it assumes that you are
changing lanes intentionally.

Z\ WARNING
— The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective steering.
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. Always keep your hands on the
steering 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 side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.
— Other road structures or objects could possi-
bly be identified unintentionally as lane
marker lines. As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur.
— The camera view can be restricted, for exam-
ple by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray light shining into the
camera or by dirt on the window. This can
result in active lane assist not detecting the
lane marker lines or detecting them incor-
rectly.
— In certain situations where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch internally from “ear-
ly” to “late” steering correction )).
— Under certain conditions such as ruts in the
road, an inclined roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steering alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane.

Assist systems


— 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 poten-
tial for hydroplaning. Using active lane as-
sist under these conditions may increase the
risk of a crash.

Indicator lights
B Ready: the indicator light turns on when the
system is ready for use. The system can now be
operated.
Not ready: the indicator light turns on if the
system is switched on but is inoperable. This may
be due to the following reasons:
— There is no lane marker line
— The relevant lane marker lines are not detected
(for example, markings in a construction zone
90

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
— The curve is too narrow
— The driver's hands are not on the steering
wheel
@) Tips
— Make sure the camera's field of view
=> fig. 94 is not obstructed by stickers or
anything else. For information on cleaning,
see > page 235.
—Incertain markets: if the system is switched
on, it will switch on automatically each time
the ignition is switched on.
