Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
Drive select makes it possible to experience dif-
ferent types of vehicle characteristics in one vehi-
cle. With different driving modes, the driver can
change the setting, for example from sporty to
comfortable. This allows you to adjust the set-
tings to your personal preferences. This makes it
possible to combine settings such as a sporty
drivetrain setting with comfortable steering.
Tips
– When the ignition is turned on, individual
systems, such as the drive system, will be
reset to a balanced setting. Select the cur-
rent mode again to attain its full configura-
tion.
– Audi recommends the auto mode for every-
day driving.
