Audi drive select (drive
settings)
Introduction
A pp lies to: ve hicles w ith Aud i d rive select
Drive select makes it possible to expe rience d if­
fe rent types of vehicle settings in one vehicle.
The driver can select from three modes, Comfort,
Auto and Dynamic , using the
i:l:ta button in the
center console or by using the Infotainment sys­
tem . T his allows you to switch between a sporty
and a comfortab le driving mode, for examp le. In
the Indi vidual mode, the settings can be adjust­
ed to your personal preferences. This makes it
possible to combine sett ings such as a sporty en­
g ine setting w ith light steering.

A WARNING
Using Aud i drive select incorrectly can lead to
coll is ions, other accidents and serious inju­
ries.
Description
App lies to: vehicles with A udi drive se lect
The veh icle 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 in a
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements.
Suspension control (Audi magnetic ride)*
The suspension control uses sensors to record in­
format ion regarding steering movements, brak­
i ng and acceleration operations by the driver, as
well as information about the road surface, driv­
i ng speed, and load. W ith dr ive se lect, you can
adjust the suspension control to sporty (dynam­
ic ), comfortable (comfort) or balanced (auto).
Steering
The power steering adapts . Indirect steering that
moves eas ily as in comfort mode is espec ially
su ited 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 .
(D Tips
In some models, the maximum vehicle speed
can only be reached in the auto and dynamic
modes .

Checking and Filling Fuel
Gasoline grade
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
unl ead ed g asoline.
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas­
oline. Additiona l information on TOP TIER Deter­
gent Gasoline can be found on the offic ial web­
site (www .topt iergas.com).
The individua l gasoline grades are differentiated
by
oc ta n e ra ting s. This value is given with (R +M)/
2 equating to AKI or in RON.
The fo llowing headings match the corresponding
sticker in the fuel fi ller door .
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY MIN. (R+M )/2 8 7
R egula r/ MIN. RON 91 Regula r
Use regu la r gasoline with minimum 87 AKI/
91 RON ~ (Di .
The max imum engine power is only reached if
prem ium gaso line 91 AKI/ 95 RON is used.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY PREMIUM MIN . (R
+M )/2 91 / SUPER MIN. RON 95
Using prem ium gaso line with minimum 91 AKI/
95 RON is recommended.
If premium gasoline is not available, you can also
use regula r gasoline 87 AKI/ 91 RON . However
this does reduce the engine powe r sli ght ly.
{LlJ) Note
- Fill ing the tank just one t ime with leaded
fuel or other meta llic additives wi ll cause
permanent deter io rat ion to the catalyt ic
conve rter function.
- When gasoline with an octane rat ing that is
too low is used, h igh speeds o r heavy eng ine
l oad can lead to eng ine damage.
Ch eck ing and F illing
(D Tips
The vehicle may be filled with fuel that has a
higher octane rating than what is requ ired by
the engine .
Blended gasoline
U se of g asoline cont aining alcohol or MTBE
( m eth yl tertiary butyl ether )
You may use unleaded gasoline blended with al­
cohol or MTBE (commonly referred to as oxygen­
ates) if the blended m ixture meets the fo llow ing
c riter ia:
Blend of ga soline me thanol ( wood alc ohol or
meth yl alcoh ol)
-Anti-knock index must be 87 AKI or h igher.
- Blend must contain no more than
3% metha-
nol.
- Blend must contain more than
2% co-solvents.
Blend of g asoline a nd eth ano l (g ra in a lcoh ol o r
eth yl alc ohol )
-Anti-knock index must be 87 AK I or h igher.
- Blend must not conta in more than
15% etha-
nol.
Blend of g asoline and MTBE
- Anti -knock index must be 87 AKI or higher.
- Blend must not contain more than
15% MTBE .
Seasonally a djust ed g aso lin e
Many gasoline grades are blended to perform es­
pecially well for winter or summer dr iving . Dur­
i ng seasonal change-over, we suggest that you
fill up at busy gas stat ions where the seasonal
adjustment is mo re likely to be made in t ime .
@ Note
-Methano l fuels which do not meet these re­
quirements may cause cor rosion and dam­
age to p lastic and rubbe r components in the
fue l system.
- Do not use fuels that fa il to meet the speci­
fied cr ite ria in t his chapter.
229

Checking and Filling
-If you a re unable to determine whether or
not a particular fuel blend meets the speci­
fications, ask your service station or its fuel
supplier.
- Do not use fuel for which the contents can­
not be identified.
- Fuel system damage and performance prob­
lems resulting from the use of fuels differ­
ent from those specified a re not the respon­
sibility of Audi and are not covered under
the New Vehicle or the Emission Control System Warranties.
- If you experience a loss of fuel economy or
driveability and performance problems due
to the use of one of these fuel blends , we
recommend that you switch to unblended
fuel.
Gasoline additives
A major concern among many auto manufactur­
ers is carbon deposit build-up caused by the type
of gasoline you use.
Although gasoline grades differ from one manu­
facturer to another, they have certain things in
common. All gasoline grades contain substances
that can cause deposits to collect on vital engin e
parts, such as fuel injectors and intake valves. Al­
though most gasoline brands include additives to keep engine and fuel systems clean, they are not
equally effective .
Audi recommends using TOP TI ER Dete rgent Gas­
oline. For more information on TOP TIER Deter­
gent Gasoline , please go to the official website
(www .toptiergas .com) .
After an extended per iod of us ing inadequate
fuels, carbon deposit build-ups can rob your
en­
gine of peak performance.
(D Note
Damage or malfunction due to poor fuel qual­
ity is not covered by the Audi New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Refueling
Fueling procedure
Your vehicle is equipped with a capless fuel filler
system .
Fig. 172 R ight rea r sid e of the vehicle : ope ning the fuel
fil ler door
Fig. 173 R ig ht rea r sid e of t he ve hicle: fuel pum p nozz le
in ser ted
The fuel filler door is unlocked or locked by the
central locking system.
.. Press on the left side of the fuel filler door to
open
r:::;, fig . 172.
.. Insert the fuel pump nozzle all the way into the
fuel tank filler neck
r:::;, fig. 173. Make sure it is
seated correctly.
.. Begin fueling. Once the fuel pump no zzle turns
off the first time, the fuel tank is full. Do not
continue fueling, or else the expansion space in
the tank will be filled with fuel.
.. After the fuel pump has switched off, wait five
seconds before removing it to allow the rest of
the fuel to finish dripping into the fuel tank.
.. Close the fuel filler door and then press on the
left side until it latches.

Emissions control
systems
Catal ytic conve rt er
The vehicle may on ly be driven with unleaded
gasoline, otherwise the catalyt ic converter will be
destroyed.
Never drive until the tank is completely empty.
The irregular supply of f uel that results from that
can cause engine m isfires. Uncombusted fuel will
enter the exhaust system, wh ich can cause over­
heat ing and damage to the catalyt ic converter .
A WARNING
The temperature of the exhaust system is
high, both when d riving and after stopping
the engine.
-
- Never touch the exhaust tail pipes once they
have become ho t. This could result in bu rns.
- Do not park your vehicle ove r flammable
materials such as g rass or leaves because
the high temperat ure of the em iss ions con­
trol system co uld s tart a fire.
- Do not apply underbody p rotectant in the
exha ust system area, because this inc reases
the risk of fi re.

Chec king and Filling
the engine . Con tact an authorized A udi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility to
have excess eng ine oil extracted if necessa­
ry.
@ Tips
The engine oil consumption may be up to
0.5 quart/600 miles (0.5 liter/1,000 km), de­
pending on driving style and operat ing condi­
tions. Consumption may be hig her during the
first 3,000 m iles (5,000 km) . Because of th is,
the engine o il level must be checked reg ular­
l y .
It is best to check each time you refuel
your vehicle and befo re long drives.
- In order to prov ide effec tive lubrication and
cooling of internal engine components, a ll
internal combustion engines consume acer­
tain amount of oil. Oil consumption var ies
from engine to engine and may change sig­ nificantly over the life of the engine . Typi­
cally, eng ines with a specified break-in peri­
od consume more oil during the break-in pe­
r iod than they consume after oil consump­
tion has stabilized .
- Under normal condit ions, the rate of oil
consumption depends on the quality and
viscos ity of the oil, the RPM (revolutions per
m in ute) at which the engine is operated, the
ambient temperatu re and road conditions .
Further factors a re t he amo unt of oi l di lu­
t ion from water condensat ion or fue l resi­
due and the oxidation level of the oil. As any
eng ine is subject to wear as m ileage builds
up, the oil consumption may increase over
time until replacement of worn components may become necessary.
- With all these var iables coming into play,
no standard rate of o il consumption can be
established or specified. There is no alterna­
t ive to check ing the oil leve l regularly and
frequently.
- If you have the impression your engine con­
sumes excessive amounts of oil, we recom­
mend that you consult a n author ized Audi
dea le r to have the cause of your conc ern
properly diagnosed. Keep in mind tha t the
acc ura te measurement of o il cons umption
requires great care and may take some
237

Check ing and F illing
time. An authorized Audi dealer has instruc­
tions about how to measure oil consump ­
tion acc urately.
