Audi drive select
Driving settings
Introduction
Drive se lect makes it possible to experience d if-
ferent types of vehicle settings in one vehicle.
The driver can select
Comfort, Auto and Dynamic
modes in the Infotainment system to switch be-
tween a sporty and a comfortable driving mode.
In the
Individual mode, the settings can be ad-
justed to your personal preferences. This makes
it possible to combine settings such as a sporty
engine tuning with light steering.
A WARNING
-
Improper use of the Audi dr ive select can
cause collisions, other accidents and serious
personal injury.
Description
The fo llow ing systems are affected by drive se-
lect:
Engine and transmission
Depending on the mode, the eng ine and the
transmission respond qu icker or in a more bal-
anced manner to acce lerator pedal movements.
In the sporty dynamic mode, the transmission
shifts at higher RPMs.
Air suspension*
The adaptive air suspension/adaptive air suspen-
sion sport*
(Air suspension in the MMI) is an
e lectronically controlled air suspens ion and
damping system. They are adjusted depend ing
on the se lected dr iving mode, the driver's steer -
ing, braking and acceleration input and the road
surface, vehicle speed and load. A sporty setting
is generally used in vehicles with adaptive air sus-
pension sport*.
The vehicle clearance varies depending on these -
lected mode and the speed.
The highway setting is activated automatically
when you drive above 75 mph (120 km/h) for
mo re than 30 seconds in the
Auto or Dynamic
100
mode. The ground clea rance is increased auto-
matically if the speed drops below 44 mph (70
km/h) for more than 120 seconds.
Steering
The steering adapts in terms of steering effort
and steering ratios. Indirect stee ring that moves
easily, like the steering in comfort mode, is best
suited to long drives on a highway. In contrast,
dynamic mode provides sporty, direct steering.
The following applies to vehicles with dynamic
steering*: the steering ratio changes based on
vehicle speed in order to maintain optimum
steering effort for the driver at a ll times . This
sets the steering to be less sensitive at higher
speeds in order to provide improved vehicle con-
trol. At reduced speeds, however, steering is
more direct in order to keep the steering effort as
min imal as possible when the dr iver is maneuver-
ing the vehicle. At low and average speeds, dy-
namic steering additionally prov ides more re -
sponsive steering performance.
Sport differential*
As a component of the all wheel dr ive system
(quattro)
c::;>poge 191, the Sport differentia l*
distributes the d riving powe r to the rear axle de-
pending on the situation . The distr ibut ion of
power varies depending on the selected mode,
from ba lanced (comfort) to agile (dynamic). The
goal is a high level of agility and ability to accel-
erate on curves. The vehicle is very responsive to
steering.
Curve light*
The curve light adapts to driving on curves. The
pivoting action and the lighting are also adapted
to the mode.
Adaptive cruise control*
The behav ior when accelerating can be adjusted
from comfortable to sporty, depending on the
drive select mode. Adaptive cruise control also
responds to the driving behavior of the vehicle
ahead in a more conservative or sporty manner . .,..
