Driving
you will reach maximum acceleration, also called
“kick-down”.
The driving wheels could spin and the vehicle
could swerve on slick or slippery road surfaces
when using kick-down, which increases the
risk of an accident.
Launch Control
Les with S tronic transmission and Launch
Launch Control provides the best possible accel-
eration when starting from a stop.
Requirements
—The engine must be at operating temperature.
~The steering wheel must not be turned.
— Start/Stop system* must be deactivated
page 108.
— ESC must be limited @ page 1217.
~ Driving program “S" & page 103 or the dynam-
ic Audi drive select” mode must be selected
page 116.
Using Launch Control
— Press the brake pedal with your left foot and
hold it all the way down for at least one second.
With the brake pedal pressed, press the accel-
erator pedal all the way down with your right
foot at the same time.
— Once the engine reaches a constant speed, re-
move your foot from the brake pedal.
Once the vehicle has started moving, reactivate
the ESC so that it is fully functional.
Only use Launch Control when road and traffic
conditions allow it and other road users will
not be endangered or impacted by your driv-
ing and the vehicle's acceleration. The driving
wheels could spin and the vehicle could
swerve, especially on slick or slippery road
surfaces, which increases the risk of an acci-
dent.
—When accelerating using Launch Control, all
vehicle components are subject to heavy
loads. This can result in increased wear.
~To reduce the risk of damaging the vehicle,
trailer, and cargo, avoid using launch control
while in trailer towing mode.
After accelerating using the Launch Control,
the temperature of some vehicle components
may increase greatly. If that happens, the
function will not be available for a few mi-
nutes to reduce the risk of damage. After a
cool-down period, Launch Control will be
available again.
