Fuel economy, environmental impact and wear on the engine, brakes and tyres depend largely on the way you drive the vehicle. You can drive in an efficient and environmentally conscious way by considering the following tips:
- Do not leave the engine running while the car is stopped.
- Make use of the start/stop system link►.
- Select efficiency mode in Audi drive select* link►.
- Switch off any electric equipment you do not need (e.g. seat heating*).
- Anticipate the traffic conditions to avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
- Use the engine braking effect and coasting function link►.
- Avoid short trips and high speeds.
- Remove ballast, such as roof racks or rear carriers, when not needed.
- Have the vehicle serviced regularly.
- Do not use winter tyres in summer.
- Make sure the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure link►.

Sporty driving can lead to significantly higher noise emissions. Please therefore be aware of your social responsibilities and consider the environment and those around you, particularly at night.
