Audi Q3: Suspension
Adaptive dampers
Applies to: vehicles with suspension control
The adaptive dampers are an electronically-controlled damping system. The firmness of the suspension will adapt to the driving conditions and the driving situation. The settings depend on the selected Audi drive select mode.
Ground clearance
The vehicle height and clearance can be influenced by the following factors:
- Change in temperature
- Change in load
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, make sure no one gets pinched when the vehicle level is changing, for example when cleaning the underbody or the wheel housings.
Note
Always make sure there is enough clearance above and below the vehicle. This is especially important for entrances with height restrictions, for example, before driving into underground garages. You could also scrape the ground when driving over the edges of curbs or on steep ramps, which could damage your vehicle.
