Audi exclusive seat belts

available in a choice of Audi exclusive colours. From

quattro GmbH

Seat belt reminder

for the driver and front passenger seats; an acoustic

and visual warning signal reminds you to fasten your

seat belt

Warning triangle

with bracket on the inside of the tailgate

First aid kit

in the storage compartment of the rear centre armrest

Anti-lock braking system ABS

with electronic brake-force distribution EBD and hy-

draulic brake assist

Traction control ASR

for good traction and lateral stability, reduces

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 the

surface that is too slippery, thereby enabling you to

make a smooth, powerful get-away

Electronic Stabilization Programme (ESP)

with 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

ESP with electronic cross-axle lock

(for front-wheel drive models), incorporated into ESP;

modifies driving force by means of targeted braking

actions depending on the driving situation; when cor-

nering 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 servo assistance; precise steering feel at

high speeds, excellent assistance when parking; active

countersteering providing steering assistance to the

driver for enhanced vehicle stability

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

S tronic

(for models with quattro® drive), the 7-speed dual

clutch transmission with electrohydraulic actuation fa-

cilitates 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 (sports)

quattro®

permanent all-wheel drive with crown gear centre dif-

ferential and torque distributed individually to each

wheel; distributes the driving forces depending on the

driving situation to each individual wheel for precisely

controlled handling

quattro® with sports differential

functions are the same as quattro®; the electronically

regulated sports differential distributes variable

amounts of driving force to each rear wheel and en-

sures outstanding acceleration performance in corners

and stabilises the vehicle’s response to load change;

also improves direct steering characteristics and pro-

vides more agile handling due to the lower steering ef-

fort required

Recuperation

increasing the generator voltage converts kinetic ener-

gy into usable electrical energy when the vehicle is

coasting or braking. This energy is used to assist the

generator during a subsequent acceleration, saving up

to 3% fuel

Start-stop-system

reduces fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by

switching off the engine in stationary phases, e.g. at

traffic lights. The start process is initiated as soon as

the foot brake is released for a perfect getaway. May

be deactivated using a switch at any time

Assistance systems, technology

Please find out from your local Audi partner which equipment is standard and what optional equipment is available in your country.

Assistance systems Suspension/brakes Technology/safety

Speed limit display

camera based recognition and display of speed limits,

including temporary speed limit displays (e.g. above

motorways). Additionally, working within system

limits, there is an evaluation of the particular situation

in wet conditions, and speed limits displayed depend-

ing on the time of the day, road works and when using

a trailer. If a sign has not been recognised by the cam-

era the speed limit displayed will be taken from the

navigation data (where available). Additional warning

symbol in the head-up display (can be ordered as an

option).

Hold assist

holds the vehicle stationary for unlimited periods after

stopping on normal uphill and normal downhill gradi-

ents. The system is activated by push-button and al-

lows the driver to drive away easily and comfortably

without having to operate the electromechanical park-

ing brake.

Parking system plus

acoustic and visual park assist system for the front and

rear with MMI screen display; measurement is by ul-

trasonic sensors concealed in the bumpers

Parking system plus with reversing camera

acoustic and visual parking aid for front and rear, im-

age of area behind the vehicle shown on the MMI dis-

play, with dynamic display modes showing the calcu-

lated path (steer-angle dependent); includes help lines

and guidelines and identification of point at which to

apply opposite lock when parallel parking, reversing

camera concealed in the handle strip of the tailgate

Park assist

searches for suitable parking spaces along the road by

means of ultrasonic sensors, calculates the ideal park-

ing path and performs the steering action virtually au-

tomatically. Supports multi-phase parking in spaces

parallel to the road as well as parking spaces at right

angles to the direction of travel. Steering is done by

the vehicle, the driver need only accelerate and apply

the brakes

Park assist with reversing camera

functions are the same as the park assist; image of area

behind the vehicle shown on the MMI display

Cruise control

maintains any speed above approx. 30 km/h, provided

that the engine power output and engine braking

effect permit it; operated via separate steering column

stalk, set speed displayed in driver information

system; works between speeds of 30 and approx.

250 km/h

Audi drive select

changes vehicle characteristics by, e.g., adapting pow-

er steering assistance, accelerator and gearshift char-

acteristics; modes available: comfort, auto, dynamic

and individual. The system also influences other op-

tional equipment

adaptive air suspension

electronically controlled air suspension with infinitely

variable adaptive damping system on all 4 wheels; au-

tomatically regulates vehicle ride height and damping;

includes ride height control; different modes selected

via Audi drive select

Sports suspension

body lowered by approx. 10 mm, with stiffer spring

and damper tuning for more direct contact with the

road and sporty handling

S line sports suspension

with more dynamic suspension tuning and vehicle

lowered by 10 mm. From quattro GmbH

Braking system

with anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic brake force dis-

tribution (EBD) and hydraulic brake assist, ventilated

disc brakes front and rear, rear brakes with electrome-

chanical parking brake

Electromechanical parking brake

with hold assist; includes parking brake function when

stationary, drive-off assistance function through

automatic release when driving away and emergency

braking function whilst driving acting on all 4 wheels

Body, galvanised

lightweight aluminium hybrid construction; fully-gal-

vanised in areas at risk from corrosion, unitary con-

struction, welded to the floor pan, front and rear areas

feature defined crumple zones. (12 year guarantee

against corrosion)

Side impact protection

high-strength steel impact absorbers integrated in

front and rear doors

Child-proof locks

electric child-proof locks on the rear doors, operated

via the child-proof lock buttons in the driver’s door

armrest, additional electric child-proof locks for the

rear windows

Fullsize airbags

for driver and front passenger, two-stage deployment

depending on the strength of impact and size of the

person; front side airbags incorporated into the seat

backrests; head airbag system protects front and outer

rear passengers in the event of a side impact, unfolds

as a protective cushion over the side windows

Side airbags

front, incorporated into the seat backrest

Side airbags at rear

for the outer seats, incorporated into the seat back-

rests; supplements the side impact protection in the

doors and the head airbag system

Integral 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 reduc-

ing the danger of whiplash
