quattro®<br />
permanent all-wheel drive with self-locking centre<br />
differential and torque distributed individually to each<br />
wheel; distributes the driving forces depending on the<br />
driving situation to each individual wheel for precisely<br />
controlled handling<br />
quattro® with sports differential<br />
The electronically regulated sports differential<br />
distributes variable amounts of driving force to each<br />
rear wheel and ensures remarkable acceleration<br />
performance in corners and stabilises the vehicle’s<br />
response to load change; also improves direct steering<br />
characteristics and provides more agile handling due<br />
to the lower steering effort required.<br />
Recuperation<br />
<strong>A6</strong>: Increasing the generator voltage converts kinetic<br />
energy into usable electrical energy when the vehicle is<br />
coasting or braking. This energy is used to assist the<br />
generator during subsequent acceleration, saving up<br />
to 3 % fuel.<br />
<strong>A6</strong> <strong>hybrid</strong>: During braking and coasting, the electric<br />
motor acts as a generator, converting the vehicle’s<br />
kinetic energy into electric energy. This is then stored<br />
in the lithium-ion battery. This energy is used to<br />
operate the electric motor, and also the car’s climate<br />
control and general electrical equipment, and in this<br />
way distinctly improves overall efficiency.<br />
Start-stop system<br />
helps to reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions<br />
by switching off the engine in stationary phases, e.g.<br />
at traffic lights. The starting process is initiated as<br />
soon as the driver presses the clutch (manual<br />
transmission) or releases the foot brake for the vehicle<br />
to move off again. May be deactivated using a switch<br />
at any time<br />

<strong>Audi</strong> TDI clean diesel<br />
In addition to the standard equipment with catalytic<br />
converter and diesel particulate filter, the new exhaust<br />
aftertreatment system installed in the model with TDI<br />
clean diesel leads to low exhaust emissions. Nitrogen<br />
oxides are reduced by the innovative nitrogen oxide<br />
catalytic converter (DeNOx catalytic converter) at the<br />
end of the exhaust pipe. A pump injects tiny quantities<br />
of the biologically degradable additive AdBlue®*. This<br />
solution then decomposes in the hot exhaust flow to<br />
form ammonia, which splits the nitrogen oxides into<br />
nitrogen and water. This splitting is called selective<br />
catalytic reduction (SCR). Refill the separate AdBlue®<br />
tank as indicated by the information in the display of<br />
the instrument cluster. We recommend having the<br />
AdBlue tank refilled by your <strong>Audi</strong> partner (about every<br />
15,000 km).<br />
Active Noise Cancellation<br />
the Active Noise Cancellation system can compensate<br />
noises from individual frequencies depending on the<br />
engine speeds.<br />
