Tips
If there is a malfunction in the retractable
rear spoiler* or the Audi magnetic ride*, it
may not be possible to activate sport
mode.
A more agile and sporty driving style is possi-
ble when driving the vehicle in "sport mode".
This mode affects throttle response and the
sound of the engine, the steering characteris-
tics for a more direct power steering response
and the damping characteristics of the Audi

Audi magnetic ride is an electronically con-
trolled damping system. This chassis system
assists the driver by adapting to the particular
situation through imperceptible control proc-
esses. The damping provides individual modu-
lation of damping forces. For example, with
damping characteristics set to provide greater
comfort, damping is set somewhat harder for
a brief period only as--required, when rounding
a curve and when braking.
