2022-2023 Audi e-tron GT Drive Select Settings Change TSB

Symptoms

Owners of 2022-2023 Audi e-tron GT vehicles may notice that certain vehicle settings do not persist after the ignition is switched off and then back on. Specifically, the Audi e-tron GT drive select settings change behavior manifests in two key areas.

First, in the Audi drive select menu, if a driver selects an option other than "comfort" (such as "dynamic" or "individual") during their drive, the setting will revert to "comfort" the next time the ignition is cycled. This means that each time the vehicle is started, the Audi drive select system defaults to the "comfort" mode, regardless of the driver's previous selection.

Second, the efficiency assist system's recuperation setting also exhibits a similar reset. If the driver changes the recuperation setting to "Automatic" during a drive, it will switch back to "Manual" each time the ignition is switched off and on again. This ensures that the vehicle always starts with the recuperation set to "Manual" mode.

These observations have been confirmed by workshop findings, indicating that customer reports accurately describe the vehicle's behavior.

Technical Background

Audi has clarified that the observed behavior of the Audi drive select menu and efficiency assist recuperation settings is entirely normal for the 2022-2023 Audi e-tron GT. This functionality was intentionally programmed into the vehicle's applications during its design. The system is designed to reset these specific settings to their default states—"comfort" for drive select and "Manual" for recuperation—after each ignition cycle.

What Owners Should Know

If you own a 2022-2023 Audi e-tron GT and have noticed your drive select or recuperation settings resetting, rest assured that this is not a malfunction. Audi Technical Service Bulletin 93 22 75 2067487/1 explicitly states that this is normal operation for your vehicle. The Audi e-tron GT drive select settings change is a designed feature, not a fault.

Important Warnings

Audi's TSB 93 22 75 2067487/1 provides crucial guidance for technicians and owners. It explicitly states that this behavior is programmed into the vehicle's applications and is therefore normal. Do not attempt a parts replacement, adaptation, or coding change to alter this behavior, as it will not resolve the situation. The function is operating as designed, and any such attempts would be unnecessary and ineffective. Owners should be informed that this is the vehicle's normal operation.
