Off-road<br />

capabilities<br />

of the<br />

<strong>Audi</strong> <strong>Q5</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Audi</strong> <strong>Q5</strong> excels both on the road<br />

<strong>and</strong> off it, thanks to its impressive allterrain<br />

abilities. And these attributes<br />

are reinforced by special technologies,<br />

such as hill descent assist, ABS with<br />

automatic off-road detection <strong>and</strong> an<br />

Electronic Stability Programme that<br />

includes an off-road mode.<br />

Hill descent assist<br />

Available as st<strong>and</strong>ard in the <strong>Audi</strong><br />

<strong>Q5</strong>, hill descent assist automatically<br />

maintains the speed set by the driver<br />

on steep descents <strong>and</strong> on any surface<br />

(up to 19mph). This makes negotiating<br />

descents far more straightforward<br />

<strong>and</strong> substantially enhances stability.<br />

Hill descent assist is activated <strong>and</strong><br />

deactivated using a separate button.<br />

ESP off-road mode<br />

<strong>The</strong> Electronic Stability Programme<br />

in the <strong>Audi</strong> <strong>Q5</strong> features a special offroad<br />

mode which can be controlled<br />

by a switch. This reprograms the ESP<br />

system, traction control <strong>and</strong> anti-lock<br />

braking system to adapt them to the<br />

driving conditions encountered in<br />

off-road terrain, such as s<strong>and</strong>, gravel<br />

or mud. This leads to good traction<br />

in all conditions, a more exciting<br />

drive <strong>and</strong> great h<strong>and</strong>ling even on<br />

unpredictable surfaces.<br />
