    A high degree of running smoothness is achieved via balancer shafts. Infinitely variable perfection For the first time in this vehicle class, Audi offers the infinitely variable "multitronic" automatic gearbox for all front-wheel drive versions. The new light alloy running gear With the four-link front axle, each wheel is controlled by four aluminium transverse links.

  • Page 9 Side impact design features In the floor area, the cell consists of three large tailored blanks, which ensure a stable connection between the front and rear of the vehicle. Weight-saving optimisation of deformation characteristics in the event of a side impact was achieved by the use of an aluminium extruded profile in the sill.
  • Page 10 Body Doors The doors of the Audi A4 demonstrate a sig- nificantly increased rigidity due to the one- piece door shell construction. For the first time, a so-called spray-on noise insulation is used, which is sprayed on as required and allows weight reduction for the same effectiveness.
  • Page 11 Emergency door locking In the event of failure of the central locking, e.g. due to power supply faults, each door can be individually locked without using the lock cylinder. Firstly, with the door open, the cap must be removed. Emergency locking is effected by inserting the ignition key.
