Prhim Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 In a magazine review of the S5 I read, they mentioned two features which I'm interested to learn whether made it to the UK production models: 1 - Xenon 'plus' with some special hi-intensity mode over 70mph? 2 - Two-stage traction control, where you can opt to disable ESP only, or the whole shebang. Anyone know if these actually made it to UK A5s and S5s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prhim Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Did a little more digging of my own. According to the depths of the Audi.co.uk website, 'Xenon Plus' is included with the adaptive lights (on the A8, at least): http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/tools/glossary/safety/adaptive_light.html Doesn't mention any special hi-intensity mode, though. Althought AudiWorld mentions the following: "At speeds of 120 km/h or higher, the dynamic headlight range control raises the light cone slightly to illuminate a longer stretch of road ahead for motorway driving." http://www.audiworld.com/news/07/a5-s5-in-depth/equipment/content.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prhim Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Having picked up the car on Saturday, I've answered question 2 for myself. And the answer is yes. a short press of the ESP button turns of ASR, a long press turns off the complete system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
