Technical data

Parking system, rear
makes reverse parking easier within system limits by
indicating acoustically how far away the vehicle is from
an object detected behind the vehicle; measurement is
by ultrasonic sensors integrated discreetly in the bumper
Parking system plus
acoustic and visual park assist system for the front
and rear with MMI screen display; measurement is
by ultrasonic sensors concealed in the bumpers
Audi active lane assist
lane compliance assistant; supports the driver within
system limits comfortably in keeping in the lane
(operating range 60 – 250 km/h). If the system is
activated and ready and the driver has not operated
the indicators, the Audi active lane assist will guide
the vehicle within recognised lane boundary lines by
means of gentle, corrective steering intervention; the
driver can choose whether to be monitored
continuously or just shortly before crossing the traffic
lane marker (choice of earlier or later steering time);
additional steering vibration can be adjusted if the
driver wishes
Suspension/brakes
Hold assist
holds the vehicle stationary for unlimited periods
after stopping, on almost every uphill and downhill
gradient. The system is activated by push-button and
allows the driver to drive away easily and comfortably
without having to operate the electromechanical
parking brake.
Cruise control
at speeds of 30 km/h and above, the system keeps
the set speed constant, provided that engine power
and engine braking effect permit it; also features
active braking intervention, e.g. when driving
downhill; operated via separate steering column stalk;
set speed displayed in the driver information system
Parking system plus with rearview camera
acoustic and visual parking aid for front and rear,
image of area behind the vehicle shown on the MMI
display, with dynamic display modes showing the
calculated path (steer-angle dependent); includes help
lines and guidelines for parking into cross parking
spaces and identification of point at which to apply
opposite lock when parallel parking, reversing camera
integrated discreetly in the handle strip of the luggage
compartment lid
Assistance package
The assistance package contains the functions of the
following assistance systems:
parking system plus (upgrade option to parking
system plus with reversing camera), Audi active lane
assist and adaptive cruise control.
Audi drive select
changes vehicle characteristics, e.g. by adapting power
steering assistance, accelerator and gearshift
characteristics, and the system also influences other
optional equipment; available modes: comfort, auto,
dynamic, efficiency and – in conjunction with an MMI
navigation system – individual.
The efficiency mode shifts the engine, automatic
transmission, climate control and optional Audi
adaptive cruise control or cruise control into a
consumption-optimised basic setting.
Dynamic steering
When changing lanes, parking and cornering, this
system improves comfort and handling by dynamically
regulating steering according to the driving situation.
In addition to adaptation of the steering effort (as with
the electromechanical power steering), the steering
angle is also adapted (steering ratio). The system is also
supported further by vehicle stabilisation through ESC.
Dynamic suspension
providing outstanding handling and exceptional levels
of driving comfort with 5-link lightweight front axle,
tubular anti-roll bar; trapezoidal-link rear axle with
independent wheel suspension; twin-tube gas-filled
shock absorbers and coil springs, front axle carrier
rigidly fixed to the body, flexibly mounted axle
supports at rear
Suspension with damper control
electronically controlled adaptation to different
driving situations (for S4/S4 Avant: on the basis of
the S sports suspension); dynamic or comfort-oriented
characteristic of the damper coordination can be
adapted over Audi drive select.
Assistance systems
* Free usage rights for 36 months following initial activation. If this does not take place within the first 6 months of vehicle registration, the free usage right period is shortened accordingly. Your Audi partner will be happy to inform
you about the extension options and any costs these may incur.
