Audi Q3: Individual settings
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
The equipment in your vehicle will determine which settings you can adjust.
Drive
The drive system will react to accelerator pedal movement more quickly or in a more balanced manner. The shift points are located in higher or lower engine speed ranges on vehicles with automatic transmissions.
Depending on the equipment, certain driver assistance systems can also become more sporty or efficient.
Depending on the setting, the drive power will be distributed via the All Wheel Drive to be more sporty or moderate.
Steering
The power steering will adapt. Light steering is suitable for long trips on highways or smooth driving around curves, for example.
Suspension
The suspension adjusts to be tighter or more comfort-oriented when it comes to compensating for uneven spots on the road.
Engine sound
The engine sound adapts and can be subtle to sporty. In the automatic setting, the engine sound depends on the selected driving program.
