adaptive air suspension:
Audi adaptive air suspension successfully unites the apparently conflicting qualities of comfort and dynamic handling. With its combination of air suspension and a continuously variable, electronically controlled damper system, it adapts to every driving situation no matter how the vehicle is loaded.
It achieves this with fully load-bearing air springs on the front and rear axles combined with a continuously variable, electronic damping system. The permanent self-levelling function ensures that the vehicle body remains at the right attitude even with an asymmetrical load distribution. You can also select the suspension mode to give your Audi precisely the handling qualities you want. The driver can choose between the modes "automatic", "comfort", "dynamic" and "lift".
The quattro®
The quattro® technology stands for permanent power to all four wheels distributed between the front and rear axles. Power to each axle leads to a low power requirement with very well balanced handling.
Especially on slippery road surfaces the quattro® permanent four-wheel drive guarantees more driving pleasure. If the wheels of one axle lose grip and threaten to spin, the drive torque is redirected in the central differential to the other axle, automatically and continuously. The quattro® technology takes into account the influence of the engine speed and torque, the wheel speeds and the forward and lateral acceleration. The result: better acceleration, greater lateral stability, improved traction and higher safety.
Audi side assist
The lane change assistant Audi side assist aids the driver when changing lane. With its radar sensors in the rear bumper, the system monitors traffic in the driver’s blind spot. When a vehicle approaches from behind, the LED warning signal lights up.
The area beside and behind the vehicle is monitored by radar sensors at speeds above 30 km/h. When there is a vehicle in the blind spot or a vehicle is approaching rapidly from behind, the LED signal in the respective exterior mirror is continuously illuminated as a warning to the driver. If the turn signal is operated in this situation, the lights in the exterior mirror flash to alert the driver to the danger of a collision. Audi side assist does not actively intervene in the controlling of the vehicle and the driver may deactivate it at any time by pressing a button on the driver door.
Audi lane assist:
The lane departure warning system Audi lane assist helps the driver to stay in lane, thus preventing accidents. If the vehicle begins to wander out of its lane, the assistance system warns the driver by means of vibrations in the steering wheel. Audi lane assist does not actively intervene in the driving situation.
Audi lane assist detects lane markings by means of a camera on the front of the vehicle. The system is operational as soon as the camera detects road markings on both sides of the vehicle's lane. If the vehicle starts to drift towards one of the detected lane markings, vibrations in the steering wheel warn the driver that the vehicle is moving out of its lane. No warning is given if the driver is indicating with the turn signal. The system is designed for driving on motorways and main roads.
adaptive cruise control:
Relaxed and comfortable on long journeys: adaptive cruise control can even be used on busy roads and in dense lines of traffic.
The system measures the distance to the vehicle ahead by means of a special radar sensor and controls the speed, ensuring it does not exceed the set value. In addition, adaptive cruise control automatically maintains a constant distance to the vehicle ahead.
If the driver’s intervention is required to sufficiently brake the vehicle, a signal is automatically given
LED daytime running lights:
LED daytime running lights make sure you are seen quickly by other road users, whatever the daytime light conditions.
In fog, wind and all weathers: fifty percent of all accidents at junctions during the day are caused by not seeing other road users in time. As a solution to the problem, experts recommend switching on the dipped-beam headlights during the day, or the use of additional daytime running lights. For this reason, many Audi models have daytime running lights with LED light sources. The benefit: other road users can see your vehicle quickly, whatever the daytime light conditions.
Advanced key
Look no further: the advanced key is an electronic access and authorisation system. To unlock and start the vehicle, you only have to have the key with you – there is no need to look for it and take it out of your pocket. That is real convenience.
As if by magic: as soon as the driver carrying the key stops within approx. 1.5 metres of the vehicle and moves his/her hand towards the door handle, the key is identified by means of a proximity sensor in the vehicle door and a radio pulse generator in the key housing. The vehicle is automatically unlocked when the door handle is pulled. For unlocking and starting the vehicle, the advanced key can stay in the driver’s pocket.
Another handy feature: if you only wish to open one specific door – without releasing the entire locking system – you can set the advanced key function accordingly via the MMI, if installed. Incidentally, the luggage compartment is unlocked independently.
Just get in and drive off, without touching the ignition lock – no problem with the advanced key. The steering and ignition are released via the integrated wireless transponder with no need to insert the key into the ignition lock. All further operations are carried out in the interior: lightly pressing the start/stop button on the centre console activates the ignition and the electronic engine immobilizer is released. The engine is started with the start/stop button and turned off again with the stop button. Pressing the stop button again locks the steering. As you get out of the vehicle, you only need to press the small locking button on the driver’s outer door handle and the vehicle is locked again.
Alternatively, you can of course use the advanced key just like a conventional key to unlock, lock and start the vehicle.
Audi drive select
Mastery of driving dynamics: Audi drive select integrates the technical components that determine the quality of the driving experience – the engine, transmission, steering (optional), shock absorbers (optional) and the sport differential (optional). Drivers can adjust the characteristics of these systems at any time to suit their personal preferences.
A custom-tuned vehicle: the innovative driving dynamics system Audi drive select enables drivers to adjust the characteristics of the technical components – depending on their individual vehicle configuration these include the engine, transmission, steering, shock absorbers and the sport differential – to suit their personal preferences at any time. The result is the successful synthesis of outstanding comfort and sporty dynamics.
Via a button on the centre console, the driver selects one of three modes for Audi drive select – comfort, auto or dynamic – for characteristics ranging from outstandingly comfortable to intensely sporty. In combination with the optional MMI, you can put together your very own personal profile. You adapt the characteristics of the systems linked to Audi drive select to suit your individual preferences.
Audi drive select is only available in conjunction with dynamic steering, damper control and/or sport differential.
Gearshift indicator:
Clear benefit: the gearshift indicator tells the driver when it is the ideal time to change gear. That helps to achieve a consistently efficient driving style and keeps fuel consumption low – all the time.
For a fuel-saving driving style: the gearshift indicator installed in many Audi models makes sure you are always running the engine at the optimum revs. A signal on the driver information system shows when it is advisable to change gear. Changing to the most suitable gear has been proven to save petrol. The driver benefits from an advanced level of driving technology – and visible efficiency.
Seat heating:
Always the right temperature: optional seat heating makes for a pleasant seat climate. Seat heating is a valuable asset especially when outside temperatures turn cool. The temperature of the driver and front passenger seats can be adjusted separately to suit the occupants’ individual preferences (also available for the outer rear seats if desired).
Take a seat and feel at ease: seat heating provides a comfortable and relaxing climate for the driver and front passenger. When the temperature is cold outside, the benefits of seat heating can be felt shortly after getting into the car, as the seat pleasantly warms your whole body. The seat heating temperature is adjusted with a rotary control. The heating intensity can be altered between several different levels separately for each seat to suit the occupant’s personal preference. In addition to heated driver and front passenger seats, the outer rear seats can also be equipped with seat heating.
