Electronic Stabilisation Control (ESC)
with roof rack detection and offroad detection, 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. The system automatically detects
if a roof rack is fitted and adapts the ESC accordingly.
Electromechanical power steering
maintenance-free rack & pinion steering with speed-
dependent power steering; precise steering feel at high
speeds, excellent assistance when parking
quattro®
permanent all-wheel drive with asymmetric/dynamic
torque distribution, self-locking centre differential
with wheel-selective torque distribution, distributes the
drive force depending on the driving situation to each
individual wheel for controlled handling
Misfuelling protection
mechanically prevents incorrect fuelling of diesel
vehicles with petrol
Recuperation
Increasing the generator voltage converts kinetic energy
into usable electrical energy when the vehicle is coasting
or braking. This energy is used to assist the generator
during subsequent acceleration, saving up to 3 % fuel.
Start-stop system
helps to reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by
switching off the engine when the vehicle is at a
standstill, e.g. at traffic lights. The start process is
initiated as soon as the foot brake is released for moving
off.
tiptronic
8-speed automatic transmission with Dynamic Shift
Program DSP, can be operated via the shift paddles
behind the steering wheel or the selector lever. In
automatic mode the driver can choose between the
programs D (normal) and S (sport).
Instrument cluster
S-specific with grey dials, white needles, needle hubs in
aluminium look, SQ5 logo in 3D look, with adjustable
lighting, electronic speedometer with odometer and trip
odometer, rev counter, clock (GPS clock in conjunction
with MMI navigation plus), coolant temperature display
and fuel gauge
Safety steering column
includes a shunt mechanism with damping function to
supplement the protection offered by the seat belts and
airbags
Seat belts
3-point inertia reel seat belts for all seats, with belt
force limiters, seat belt tensioners and belt height
adjustment at front; front seat-belt reminder, belts
matched to the interior colour
Warning triangle
with bracket on the inside of the tailgate
First-aid kit
in the side trim of the luggage compartment
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
for good traction, reduces the spinning of the drive
wheels
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
On surfaces with varying levels of grip, this start-off
assistant automatically brakes the drive wheels on any
surface that is too slippery, thereby ensuring smooth,
powerful progress; operates at speeds up to approx.
100km/h.
The model-specific standard and optional equipment can be found in the index from page 60 onwards.
