Suspension/brakes<br />
<strong>Audi</strong> drive select<br />
changes vehicle characteristics, e.g. by adapting power<br />
steering assistance, accelerator and gear changing<br />
characteristics, and adaptive air suspension; modes<br />
available: comfort, dynamic, auto, efficiency and<br />
individual. The system also influences other optional<br />
equipment. The efficiency mode is available for all<br />
TFSI- and TDI models (except for <strong>A6</strong> <strong>hybrid</strong>) and shifts<br />
the engine, transmission, optional adaptive cruise<br />
control and climate control into an optimised basic<br />
setting.<br />
Dynamic steering<br />
When changing lanes, parking and cornering, this<br />
system improves comfort and handling by dynamically<br />
regulating steering according to the driving situation.<br />
In addition to adaptation of the steering effort<br />
(as with the electromechanical power steering), the<br />
steering angle is also adapted (steering ratio).<br />
The system is also supported further by vehicle<br />
stabilisation through ESC.<br />
adaptive air suspension<br />
Electronically controlled air suspension with infinitely<br />
variable adaptive damping system on all four wheels;<br />
automatically regulates vehicle ride height and<br />
damping; includes ride height control and manual lift<br />
function; different modes selected via <strong>Audi</strong> drive<br />
select; on <strong>A6</strong> allroad quattro 5 modes (comfort,<br />
dynamic, auto, allroad, lift)<br />
adaptive air suspension sport<br />
with S-specific tuning: electronically controlled air<br />
suspension with infinitely variable adaptive damping<br />
system on all 4 wheels, automatically controls vehicle<br />
level and damping; 4 modes (comfort, dynamic, auto<br />
and lift), can be selected via MMI; including level<br />
control; stiffer damping, vehicle ride height lowered<br />
by up to 20 mm depending on mode<br />
Sports suspension<br />
body lowered by approx. 20 mm, with stiffer set<br />
suspension and damping for more direct contact<br />
with the road and sporty handling<br />
S line sports suspension<br />
with dynamic suspension tuning and vehicle lowered<br />
by 30 mm<br />
