Everybody defines driving dynamics differently.
We define it like this: drive exactly how you
feel. With the standard Audi drive select you
can influence individual vehicle components at
the push of a button and so change the
character of your Audi. Five modes are available
to you: efficiency, comfort, dynamic, auto and
in conjunction with MMI Navigation, individual,
the latter mode allowing you to determine
yourself how the associated vehicle
components should behave. The comfort
mode is especially suitable for providing the
most relaxed driving possible on long journeys.
The auto mode offers a generally comfortable
yet sporty driving experience. For particularly
sporty driving, for example on winding roads,
there is the dynamic mode. The efficiency mode
on the TFSI® engine enables optimal
consumption conditions. As a core element in
Audi drive select, the efficiency mode is
characterised by an updated shift program and
optimal operational energy usage. In any mode,
vehicle adjustments depend on the equipment
available. Audi drive select interacts as
standard with engine, transmission and
steering. In addition, you can influence the
adaptive air suspension with damper regulation,
the reversible seat belt tensioner (part of Audi
pre sense basic) and the cornering light. The
engine and gears react more spontaneously
or in a more balanced manner to movements
of the accelerator, depending on the mode
chosen. Moreover, the engine speeds at which
gear changes take place are varied – in dynamic
mode, they only happen at higher engine
speeds, while in comfort mode they take place
at lower ones. The steering can also be adapted
to the driving situation, from sporty and firm to
comfortable. The threshold at which the
optional reversible belt tensioner (part of Audi
pre sense basic) is triggered is adjusted in the
dynamic mode. The vehicle height and the
damping forces of the damper regulation can
be varied using the adaptive air suspension.
