veniently connected to the GSM module inside the vehicle
(provided that your mobile has SIM Access Profile),
additional SIM card reader located in the surround of
the MMI navigation systems. Transfer of phone book
entries to the vehicle and management of call lists;
simple operation using a MMI navigation system, an
RS 4 leather-covered multifunction sports steering

Including the Audi connect services traffic information
online¹, point-of-interest search, navigation by means
of Google Earth images and Street View, route planning
and destination entry using myAudi or Google Maps,
information services e.g. weather and news, Wi-Fi
hotspot for Internet access in the rear using a mobile
end device (e.g. laptop) and Audi music stream². Due
to the high data volumes (currently effects in particular
navigation with the help of Google Earth images and
Wi-Fi hotspot) a mobile phone contract including a data
flat rate is strongly recommended. The content and
scope of the Audi connect services offered may vary and
are only available for mobile phone contracts including
a data option and only within the coverage of the mobile
phone network; additional costs arise for the use of
these services (charges and billing correspond to your
personal mobile phone contract); they are only offered
in Europe (in Russia: in the Moscow and St. Petersburg
areas only; not offered in Turkey, Cyprus, Malta and
Iceland); simple operation via the MMI navigation plus,
an RS 4 leather-covered multifunction sports steering
wheel or the voice control system; for information on
compatibility visit www.audi.com/bluetooth
Electromechanical power steering
maintenance-free rack & pinion steering with speed-
dependent power steering; precise steering feel at
high speeds, excellent assistance when parking
Dynamic steering
when changing lanes, parking and cornering, this
system improves comfort and handling by dynamically
regulating steering according to the driving situation.
In addition to adaptation of the steering effort (as with
the electromechanical power steering), the steering
angle is also adapted (steering ratio). The system is also
supported further by vehicle stabilisation through ESC.

and adapted elasto-kinematics; 5-link lightweight front
axle with virtual steering axle including suspension
brace; trapezoidal-link rear axle with independent wheel
suspension; tubular stabiliser front and rear; twin-tube
gas-filled shock absorbers and coil springs; front axle
carrier rigidly fixed to the body, flexibly mounted axle
supports at rear
Sports suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC)
adjustable in 3 stages; with variable suspension
characteristics; 5-link lightweight front axle with virtual
steering axle, including suspension brace; trapezoidal-
link rear axle with independent wheel suspension;
tubular stabiliser front and rear; single-tube gas-filled
shock absorbers and coil springs; control range of
Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) can be selected in 3 stages
via Audi drive select: comfort, auto, dynamic
Brake system
18-inch diagonally-split high-performance brake
system, Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic

Control (ESC) with brake assist, aluminium tandem
brake booster, wave brake discs, ventilated at front
and rear, perforated and with floating mounting
Handset for the Bluetooth car phone or Bluetooth car
phone online
with colour display and built-in SIM card reader, for
making private calls; texts can be easily written thanks
to automatic word recognition. Handset is stored in
the centre armrest, front
Assistance systems
adaptive cruise control
automatic distance control (control range 30 – 200km/h);
working within system limits, it uses a radar sensor to
detect vehicles ahead and maintain this distance by
automatic braking and accelerating; 4 distance levels
and different driving modes can be selected individually;
including Audi pre sense front: Audi braking guard
warns the driver about a detected imminent collision
with the vehicle in front through an extended brake
assist feature; extended by the function of maximum
deceleration: this is initiated at speeds below 30km/h
if there is a danger of collision with a stationary or
moving vehicle in order to avoid this collision if possible.
Audi side assist
lane change assistant, working within system limits
at speeds of 30km/h and above, the system uses radar
technology to monitor the area on the left, right and
behind the moving vehicle and informs or warns the
driver by means of an LED display in the exterior mirror
if the Audi side assist has detected another vehicle
assessed as critical for lane-changing
Audi active lane assist
lane compliance assistant; supports the driver within
system limits comfortably in keeping in the lane
(operating range 60 – 250km/h). If the system is
activated and ready and the driver has not operated
the indicators, the Audi active lane assist will guide
the vehicle within recognised lane boundary lines by
means of gentle, corrective steering intervention;
the driver can choose whether to be
monitored
continuously or just shortly before crossing
the traffic
lane marker (choice of earlier or later steering
time);
additional steering vibration can be adjusted if the
driver wishes
Hold assist
holds the vehicle stationary for unlimited periods after
stopping, on almost every uphill and downhill gradient.
The system is activated by push-button and allows the
driver to drive away easily and comfortably without
having to operate the electromechanical parking brake
Parking system plus
acoustic and visual park assist system for the front
and rear with MMI screen display; measurement is by
ultrasonic sensors concealed in the bumpers
Parking system plus with rear view camera
acoustic and visual parking system for front and rear,
image of area behind the vehicle shown on the MMI
display, with dynamic display modes showing the
calculated path (steer-angle dependent); includes help
lines and guidelines and identification of point at which
to apply opposite lock when parallel parking, rear view
camera integrated discreetly in the handle strip of the
luggage compartment lid
Assistance package
The assistance packages contains the functions of the
following assistance systems: adaptive cruise control,
Audi active lane assist and parking system plus with
rear view camera.
Cruise control
at speeds of 30km/h and above, the system keeps
the set speed constant, provided that engine power
and engine braking effect permit it; also features
active braking intervention, e.g. when driving downhill;
operated via separate steering column stalk; set speed
displayed in the driver information system
Suspension/brakes
Audi drive select
changes vehicle characteristics by adapting power
steering assistance, accelerator and gearshift
characteristics as well as exhaust flap control. The
system also influences other optional equipment.
Available modes: comfort, auto, dynamic and – in
conjunction with an MMI navigation system – individual
