hello , just wanted to enquire , does ads helps in driving in rugged pot holes or bad road conditions by lifting as per varied conditions. if yes , then which mode is best for bad road .thanx

NO there is no lift feature on Drive select. Comfort mode would provide the softest suspension setting for soaking up bad roads.

hi, actually i have been facing lot of problems with the bottom of the car hitting speed bumpers even at lowest speed . donno wat to do . any suggestions ...thanx

If you hit speed bumps at stock height, those bumps are way too high.

It lowers the car even more (by 20 mm). Even at comfort setting you will hit more speedbumps.

I have not read anything that allows you to set the ride height using Audi Drive Select. When my car's manual was printed the details of the individual setting were not finalized. I believe what they did was allow the three ADS systems (Via MMI) to be individually set to "Comfort," "Auto," and "Dynamic."

An example would be to set the Engine/Drive to Auto, the Dynamic Steering to Comfort, and the Suspension to Dynamic. Any of the three systems could of course be set to any of the programs. The settings placed in "Individual" would be remembered with reference to the key used when programmed.

Considering your situation, I wonder if a wheel and/or tire (tyre for our UK friends) change that increased the radius of the assembly could raise the car 25 to 40mm. This might spoil the aesthetics, and even have a detrimental effect on the Audi Drive Select, but I would hate to drag a car that cost well above 30 odd lakhs over a speed berm.

I faced the same situation while working in Bangalore recently. There were two speed berms that were just too high to hurdle, even driving dead slow. Not knowing where to register a complaint, I had our construction crew report to the location at first light on Saturday with a hired scraper and removed the offending material and hauled it away. It took less than ten minutes at each berm. I am such a bad boy, but the auto rickshaws were happy.

Hiya, I am a frequent visitor to India, but I'm a blue eyed American from California. I would certainly consider a tire wheel commbination to raise the ride height. At least until the city has time to manicure the roadways, some time in the next 1,000 years.
