Technology/safety
Integrated head restraint system
In the event of a rear-end collision, the design of the
seat restrains the upper torso and supports the head
at an early stage, thereby increasing safety and
reducing the danger of whiplash.
Instrument cluster
with adjustable lighting; coolant temperature display,
fuel gauge display, rev counter with digital clock,
speedometer with disproportionate display and
electronic odometer/trip odometer, displays for radio
frequency, ambient temperature and tank range,
warning and control lights, maintenance interval
display; on A6 allroad quattro with “allroad” logo in
the rev counter; on A6 hybrid with “hybrid” logo and
integrated hybrid display with Powermeter; on
S6/S6 Avant S-specific with grey dials, white needles
and S6 logo in the rev counter and automatic ready-
check when engine starts
Powermeter in the instrument cluster
for displaying operating modes in the Audi A6 hybrid
(for pure electric driving, boost, recuperation or driv-
ing only with the combustion engine) and availability
of the hybrid system
Safety steering column
increases the safety potential of the seat belt and airbag
Battery energy management
controls the supply of electrical power to the vehicle
whilst driving and when parked
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
On surfaces with varying levels of grip, this start-off
assistant automatically brakes the drive wheels on the
surface that is too slippery, thereby ensuring smooth,
powerful progress.
Electronic Stabilisation Control (ESC)
networks the ABS, EBD, ASR and EDL with its own
sensors and compares the driving data with reference
data; provides better stability at all speeds by targeted
braking of individual wheels and intervention in the
engine management system
ESC with electronic axle-differential lock
(for models with front-wheel drive), integrated in ESP;
modifies driving force by means of targeted braking
actions depending on the driving situation; when
cornering the electronic cross-axle lock ensures
smooth and precise handling with no understeer;
improved traction and dynamic performance when
cornering
Electromechanical power steering
maintenance-free rack & pinion steering with speed-
dependent power steering; precise steering feel at
high speeds, excellent assistance when parking; active
countersteering providing steering assistance to the
driver for enhanced vehicle stability
Seat belts
3-point inertia reel seat belts; reversible belt tensioners,
adaptive belt force limiters and belt height adjustment/
belt buckle status query at front; seat belt reminder
function for driver and front-passenger seat with acous-
tic and visual warning signal; belts matched to the
interior colour
Audi exclusive seat belts
Choice of colour for seat belt from the range of Audi
exclusive colours. From quattro GmbH
Seat belt reminder
for the driver and front-passenger seat; an acoustic
and visual warning signal reminds you to fasten your
seat belt.
65 l fuel tank
73 l fuel tank
75 l fuel tank
Warning triangle
with bracket on the inside of the luggage
compartment lid
First-aid kit
in the storage compartment of the rear centre armrest
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) and
hydraulic brake assist
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
for good traction and lateral stability, reduces
spinning of the drive wheels
Wheel-selective torque distribution
integrated into ESP; modifies driving force by means
of targeted braking actions depending on the driving
situation, when cornering the torque distribution
ensures smoother and more precise handling with no
understeering; improved traction and dynamic
performance when cornering
multitronic®
(for models with front-wheel drive), the multitronic
generation of continuously variable transmissions,
featuring dynamic gear control program (DCP) and
sport program; 8 different gears can be selected in
manual mode; hydraulically controlled multi-plate
clutch
Manual transmission
6-speed, all-synchromesh, hydraulically-actuated
single-plate dry clutch with asbestos-free linings,
2-mass flywheel
S tronic®
(for models with quattro drive), the 7-speed dual-
clutch transmission with electrohydraulic actuation
facilitates shorter gearshift times and gearshifting
with hardly any perceptible break in propulsive power:
can be operated via the shift paddles behind the
steering wheel or the gear lever knob; in automatic
mode the driver can choose between two programs
D (normal) and S (sport).
tiptronic
8-speed automatic transmission with Dynamic Shift
Program (DSP); option of manual control on the
multifunction leather steering wheel, includes
additional sports program
The model-specific standard and optional equipment can be found in the index from page 130 onwards.
