turning off certain convenience functions. The
convenience functions with high energy usage
are listed on the display.
Range mode: to maximize the current range, you
can use the button to switch the vehicle to a
mode with less energy consumption. This will re-
duce the drive system power and the maximum
speed. This can also turn off certain energy con-
sumers. You can exit this mode by either pressing
the button again, pressing the Audi drive select*
button, or switching off the ignition.
~The range can also be displayed in the trip
computer in the instrument cluster.
~The range that is indicated is based on the
previous and predicted consumption values.
For example, this may influence the naviga-
tion route guidance or activated conven-
ience functions.
Vehicle sound
The electric drive system generates considerably
less noise than a combustion engine. An artificial
engine sound is generated when driving electri-
cally so that the vehicle can be heard from the
outside when driving. The vehicle sound auto-
matically fades out at higher speeds when the
sounds from the tires and wind start increasing.
Other road users may not be able to clearly
hear electric vehicles when they are driving.
This increases the risk of an accident particu-
larly when driving in areas with little traffic,
when maneuvering, or when driving in re-
verse.
Your driving style greatly influences the amount
of fuel and energy consumed, the environmental
impact, and the wear on the motor, brakes, and
tires. Note the following information for efficient
and environmentally-conscious driving:
100
— Select the Audi drive select* efficiency mode.
Turn off electrical equipment that is not need-
ed, for example seat heating’.
— Anticipate upcoming traffic situations while
driving to avoid unnecessary acceleration and
braking.
= Avoid driving at high speeds.
— Avoid adding extra weight to the vehicle if pos-
sible, for example by not leaving roof racks or
bike racks installed when they are not needed.
— Make sure the tire pressure is correct.
— Have maintenance performed regularly on the
vehicle.
— Do not drive with winter tires during the summ-
er.
~ Brake early and evenly to use recuperation.
