lever positions
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
Fig. 79 Instrument cluster: Selector lever positions
The current selector lever position and the cur­
rent gear are shown in the infotainment display.
P - Parking lock
The parking lock must only be engaged when the
vehicle is stationary ¢ A.
The interlock button (the button in the selector
lever handle) must be pressed in and the brake
pedal must be depressed before moving these­
lector lever either in or out of position P.
R - Reverse gear
Reverse gear should only be engaged when the
vehicle is stationary and the engine is idling ¢
A.
To move the selector lever to position R, press in
the interlock button and at the same time press
the brake pedal. The reversing light comes on
when the selector Lever is in the R position with
the ignition on.
N - Neutral
In this position, the gearbox is in neutral.
DIS -Drive/Sport (standard position for
driving forwards}
In selector Lever position D/S, the gearbox can be
operated in either the standard drive mode (D) or
in sport mode (5). To select sport mode (5), brief­
ly pull the selector lever back. The gearbox will
switch back to drive mode (D) if you pull these­
lector lever again. The selected driving mode is
shown on the infotainment display.
In the standard drive mode (D), the gearbox au­
tomatically selects the best gear ratio. This de- Driving
pends on the engine load, the road speed and the
driving style.
Select sport mode (S) if you wish to take full ad­
vantage of the car's performance. This setting
makes use of the engine's maximum power out­
put. When accelerating the gear shifts may be
noticeable.
Press the brake pedal when moving the selector
Lever from N to D/S if the vehicle is stationary or
at speeds below 2 km/h ¢ A.
E - Efficiency*
In efficiency mode¢ page 100, Audi drive select
(vehicle set-up functions), the gearbox selects
the next gear at Lower engine speeds. Earlier up­
shifts give improved fuel economy because the
full power reserves of the engine are not used.
In this mode, Eis shown on the display instead of
D ¢Fig. 79.
.&_ WARNING
- The car can roll away even if the ignition is
switched off.
- Never move the selector lever to R or P
when driving, as this could cause an acci­
dent.
- In all selector Lever positions except P the
vehicle must always be held with the foot
brake when the engine is running. This is be­
cause an automatic gearbox still transmits
power even at idling speed, and the vehicle
tends to "creep" -risk of accident!
- The accelerator pedal must on no account
be pressed inadvertently when a gear is en­
gaged with the vehicle stationary. The vehi­
cle could otherwise start moving immedi­
ately (in some cases even if the parking
brake is engaged) and possibly cause an ac­
cident.
- Do not press the accelerator while selecting
a gear with the vehicle stationary and the
engine running, as this could cause an acci­
dent.
- The driver should never get out of the vehi­
cle when the engine is running and a gear is
engaged. If you have to leave your vehicle ..,.

while the engine is running, you must apply
the parking brake and engage the parking
lock P.
- To avoid accidents, apply the parking brake
and put the selector lever in position P be­
fore opening the bonnet and working on the
vehicle with the engine running. Please ob­
serve the important safety warnings
¢ page 244, Working on components in
the engine comportment.
Ct) Note
- Drive select: You can select the sport pro­
gram for gear changes by activating the dy­
namic mode. The infotainment display will
show S instead of D.
- If the lever is moved accidentally to N when
driving, take your foot off the accelerator
and let the engine speed drop to idling be­
fore selecting Dor S again.
- It is not possible to move the selector lever
out of position P if the electrical power sup­
ply fails. In this case, the selector lever can
be released manually. Left-hand drive

Selector lever lock
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The selector Lever Lock prevents gears from being
engaged inadvertently, so that the vehicle is not
set in motion unintentionally.
Fig. 80 Selector lever lock
The selector lever lock is released as follows:
• Switch on the ignition.
78 •
Press the brake pedal and at the same time
press in the interlock button.
Automatic selector lever lock
The selector lever is locked in the P and N posi­
tions when the ignition is on. To move the selec­
tor lever out of these positions the driver must
press the brake pedal. To move out of position P,
the interlock button must also be pressed. The
following message appears in the display as a re­
minder for the driver when the selector lever is in
position P or N:
To select a gear please press brake pedal and in­
terlock button on gear selector lever
The selector lever lock only works if the vehicle is
stationary or driving at speeds up to 2 km/h. At
higher speeds the selector lever lock in the N po­
sition is disengaged automatically.
The selector lever lock is not engaged if the se­
lector lever is moved quickly through position N
(e.g. when shifting from R to D). This makes it
possible, for instance, to "rock" the vehicle back­
wards and forwards if it is stuck in snow or mud.
The selector lever lock engages automatically if
the brake pedal is not depressed and the lever is
in position N for more than about two seconds.
Interlock button
The interlock button on the selector lever handle
prevents the driver from inadvertently engaging
particular gears. The illustration shows the selec­
tor lever positions in which the button has to be
pressed, highlighted in colour¢ Fig. 80.
{(D) Note
- If the selector lever does not lock automati­
cally, a malfunction has occurred. In this
case, the power transmission is interrupted
to prevent the vehicle from moving uninten­
tionally. Proceed as follows to engage the
selector lever lock again:
- Press the brake pedal briefly.
- If the vehicle does not move forwards or
backwards even though a gear is selected,
proceed as follows:

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driving
fully interrupted even when the engine is
idling.
- The accelerator pedal must on no account
be pressed inadvertently when the vehicle is
stationary. The vehicle could otherwise start
moving immediately (in some cases even if
the parking brake is engaged) and possibly
cause an accident.
- Do not press the accelerator while selecting
a gear with the vehicle stationary and the
engine running, as this could cause an acci­
dent.
- Never move the selector lever to R or P
when driving at normal speeds, as this could
cause an accident.
- Before you drive down a steep gradient, re­
duce the speed and use "tiptronic" to select
a low gear.
- Never allow the brake to drag when driving
downhill and do not use the brake pedal too
often or for long periods. Constant braking
will cause the brakes to overheat and will
considerably reduce the effectiveness of the
brakes. It will increase the braking distance
and could cause the brake system to fail.
- To avoid rolling back on gradients always
hold the vehicle with the footbrake or park­
ing brake if you have to stop.
- Never attempt to hold the vehicle with the
clutch when stopping on a gradient. The
clutch is disengaged automatically if it is
overloaded and becomes too hot -accident
risk! If the clutch is overloaded, the indica­
tor lamp 51 will light up and a message will
appear ¢page 83.
CD CAUTION
- When you have stopped on a gradient, do
not try to stop the vehicle rolling back by ac­
celerating when a gear is engaged. This
could cause the automatic gearbox to over­
heat and become damaged. Apply the park­
ing brake or press the brake pedal in order
to prevent the vehicle from rolling back.
- If you allow the car to roll with the selector
lever in position N with the engine switched
off, the automatic gearbox will be damaged
as it will not be lubricated.
80 -
In certain driving and traffic conditions, for
instance in stop-and-go traffic, if you have
to pull away frequently or if the vehicle
creeps forwards over a long distance, the
gearbox can overheat and become dam­
aged. If the indicator lamp 51 or the warn­
ing lamp . lights up, stop the vehicle at
the first opportunity and let the gearbox
cool down ¢page 83.
- If you allow the car to roll with the engine
switched off, the S tronic gearbox will be
damaged as it will not be lubricated
¢ page 2 78, Tow-starting I towing away.
ijJ) Note
For safety reasons the parking brake will only
release automatically if the driver's seat belt
is engaged in its buckle.
Downhill speed control
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The downhill speed control function helps the
driver when driving down steep gradients.
Downhill speed control is activated on a downhill
gradient when the selector lever is in D/S and the
driver presses the brake pedal. The gearbox auto­
matically selects a suitable gear for the gradient.
The downhill speed control function attempts to
maintain the speed at which the vehicle was trav­
elling when the foot brake was applied (subject
to the laws of physics and technical limitations of
the power train). It may be necessary to adjust
the speed again using the foot brake. The down­
hill speed control can change down to 3rd gear
but no further, so it may be necessary to change
to tiptronic mode on very steep gradients. In this
case, change down manually to 2nd or 1st gear in
tiptronic mode to use the engine braking effect
and reduce the load on the brakes.
Downhill speed control is deactivated as soon as
the road levels out again or you press the acceler­
ator pedal.
On vehicles with cruise control system*
¢ page 86, downhill speed control is activated
when you set a cruising speed.
�

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I&
WARNING
The downhill speed control function cannot
defy the laws of physics and may therefore
not be able to maintain a constant speed in
certain circumstances. Always be prepared to
use the brakes!
Manual gear selection (tiptronic mode)
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The tiptronic feature allows the driver to also
change gear manually.

¢ Fig. 83 for approximately 1 second.
If you want to use the paddle levers permanent­
ly, push the selector lever from position D/S to
the right into the tiptronic selector gate.
The gearbox automatically shifts up or down into
the next gear before a critical engine speed is
reached.
Applies to RS model: When accelerating, the
gearbox does not automatically shift up into the
next gear shortly before the maximum engine
speed is reached. Remember to shift to the next
gear in good time.
The gearbox only allows manual gear changes if
the engine speed would remain within the per­
missible range.
Kick-down feature
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The kick-down feature is designed to give maxi­
mum acceleration.
When the accelerator pedal is pressed right down
past the point of resistance at full throttle, the
gearbox will shift down to a lower gear, depend-
ing on road speed and engine speed, and the en­
gine power will be fully exploited. The upshift to

the next higher gear is delayed until the engine
reaches maximum rpm.
A WARNING
Please note that if the road surface is slippery
or wet, the kick-down feature could cause the
driving wheels to spin, which could result in
skidding.
Coast ing mode
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
In coasting mode, you can use the vehicle's kinet­
ic energy to drive without using the accelerator
on certain stretches of road. This saves fuel by al­
lowing you to take your foot off the accelerator
earlier and let the vehicle coast (for instance
when approaching a speed restriction in a built­
up area).
Switching on coa sting mode
Important: Selector lever must be in D, gradient
must be less than 12 %.
� Select efficiency mode in drive select*
¢page 100 (you only have to do this once).
� Take your foot off the accelerator.
If you have selected the "on-board computer"
display, the message Coasting mode will then
appear. The gearbox automatically disengages
the clutch at speeds above 20 km/h and lets the
vehicle coast without the engine braking effect.
The engine ticks over at idling speed while the ve­
hicle is coasting.
Stopping coasting mode
� Press the brake pedal or accelerator.
To use the engine braking effect and overrun fuel
cut-off again, all you need to do is tap the brake
pedal briefly.
You can improve your fuel economy and help to
reduce emissions by using a combination of the

overrun fuel cut-off (i.e. using the engine brak­
ing effect with no fuel consumption on a shorter
stretch of road).
A WARNING
- If you are approaching an obstruction when
coasting mode is switched on, please re­
member that the vehicle will not slow down
as quickly as usual when you take your foot
off the accelerator -risk of accident!
- The vehicle can pick up speed if you are driv­
ing down a slope in coasting mode -risk of
accident!
- If other people are using your car, you
should draw their attention to the coasting
mode.

- Coasting mode is only available in efficien­
cy* mode (drive select*).
- The message Coasting mode only appears
when the current fuel consumption display
is selected. The gear is no longer displayed
when you are in coasting mode (e.g. E in­
stead of E6).
- The coasting mode is deactivated tempora­
rily on gradients of 15 % or greater.

Audi drive select (vehicle
set-up functions)
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
Drive select allows you to use different set-ups
on your vehicle. The four modes efficiency*, com­
fort, auto and dynamic allow the driver, for ex­
ample, to change from a sporty mode to a more
comfortable one via the �.:i.l\:'I button in the centre
console or via the infotainment system. In addi­
tion, the individual mode allows you to adapt the
vehicle set-up to suit your personal driving style.
For example, you might choose to combine a
more dynamic engine set-up with a lighter steer­
ing response.
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
The possible vehicle set-up in each mode de­
pends on which equipment is installed on your
vehicle.
Engine and automatic gearbox*
The response of the engine and automatic gear­
box* to accelerator pedal movements will be
more spontaneous or balanced, depending on
which mode you select. In efficiency* mode the
automatic gearbox* selects the next gear at low­
er engine speeds and the coasting mode is activa-
100 ted
¢ page 82. This helps to reduce fuel con­
sumption.
Suspension control (Audi magnetic ride)*
The suspension control uses sensors to collect in­
formation on steering movements, braking and
acceleration input by the driver, road surface
quality, road speed and vehicle loading. With
drive select you can choose between dynamic and
comfort-oriented suspension set-ups (dynamic
and comfort modes), or opt for a more balanced
set-up (auto mode).
Steering
The degree of power assistance can be varied.
The light, indirect steering response in comfort
mode is particularly suitable on long motorway
trips, for instance. The steering has a tighter,
more direct feel in dynamic mode.
Air conditioner*
The air conditioner runs in a particularly econom­
ical mode when the efficiency* setting is selec­
ted. When this function is selected, eco* is shown
in the display of the automatic air conditioner.
Cruise control system*
The acceleration response is particularly econom­
ical in efficiency* mode.
Engine sound*
The sound of the engine is matched to the selec­
ted mode and ranges from subdued to dynamic.
(QJ} Note
- On some models the vehicle's maximum
speed can only be obtained in the auto and
dynamic modes.
- On vehicles with manual gearbox, an E ap­
pears in the gear-change indicator when ef­
ficiency* mode is activated.
-Applies to vehicles with manual gearbox: If
you press the accelerator right down past
the point of resistance in efficiency* mode,
the engine power is automatically control­
led to give your vehicle maximum accelera-
tion. ..,.

ESC and the integrated systems cannot
compensate for the increased accident risk.
- When accelerating on a uniformly slippery
surface (for instance all four wheels on ice
or snow), press the accelerator gradually
and carefully. The driven wheels may other­
wise start to spin (in spite of the integrated
control systems), which would impair the
car's stability and could lead to an accident.
@ Note
- The ABS and ASR systems can only work
properly if all four tyres have a similar de-

CX) Winter
tyres
Thanks to its four-wheel drive, your car will have
plenty of traction in winter conditions, even with
the standard tyres. Nevertheless, we still recom­
mend that winter tyres or all-season tyres should
be fitted on all four wheels when winter road
conditions are expected, mainly because this will
give a better braking response.
Snow chains
On roads where snow chains are mandatory, this
also applies to cars with four-wheel drive
¢ page 2 5 7, Snow chains.
Replacing tyres
On vehicles with four-wheel drive, all four tyres
must have the same rolling circumference. Also
avoid using tyres with varying tread depths
¢ page 254, New wheels or tyres.
Off-roader?
Your Audi does not have enough ground clear­
ance to be used as an off-road vehicle. It is there­
fore best to avoid rough tracks and uneven ter­
rain as much as possible.
A WARNING
- Even with four-wheel drive, you should al­
ways adjust your speed to suit the condi­
tions. Do not Let the extra safety provided
tempt you into taking any risks when driving
- this can cause accidents.
- The braking ability of your car is limited by
the grip of the tyres. In this respect, your
car is no different from a car without four­
wheel drive. So do not be tempted to drive
too fast on icy or slippery roads just because
the car still has good acceleration in these
conditions -risk of accident!
- On wet roads bear in mind that the front
wheels may start to "aquaplane" and Lose
contact with the road if the car is driven too
fast. If this should happen, there will be no
sudden increase in engine speed to warn the
driver, as with a front-wheel drive car. So do
not drive too fast in the wet: adjust your
speed to suit the conditions (accident risk). Intelligent
