Drive Select - what do settings mean?

ademanuele · Aug 29, 2015

I have the TTS Roadster and on pages 99 to 100 of the owner manual there is a description of the different modes.

What does comfortable, balanced and dynamic mean for both suspension control and quattro? No information is provided on the system settings for efficiency mode??

When I go on a long motorway journey I have set the car to efficiency mode but I would be interested to know how the settings differ to the other modes...

Is there a web page on the Audi site that explains these settings in a bit more detail,the owner manual is not much help. The TTS has the Audi magnetic ride and again not much information in the owner manual on how this is used in the different drive modes.

There are few explanations, but enough clear to understand the system...
Efficiency the car use often the neutral while you're not accelerating and less Quattro traction.
Comfort has less sound,the car is very soft regard the reactivity of the steer and power
Auto is the compromise to don't think nothing about the system because it change any parameter follow your type of driving
Dynamic is the maximum that you can get from the car for the noise, reactivity and traction then individual where you can change only the magnetic ride settings, noise and another thing that I don't remember if you want something different than the standard options

Dynamic is on drive select and for S you mean on s-tronic?
If so, dynamic do things as I said you before and S is a drive mode that allow the car to change gear every time reaches the red zone on the revs or while driving aggressive to keep the engine with high rpm to use the max power available in any gear
