Which driving mode should be selected for the Audi Q5L during the break-in period?

Audi Q5L can choose the economy mode during the break-in period. The Audi Q5L has a total of 6 driving modes, which are off-road mode, economy mode, comfort mode, automatic mode, dynamic mode, and personalized mode. During the break-in period, try to gradually increase the engine speed and avoid stepping on the accelerator sharply. The engine speed should be controlled at around 3000 rpm. The body dimensions of the Audi Q5L are 4753 mm in length, 1893 mm in width, and 1659 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2908 mm. The Audi Q5L is driven by front-engine four-wheel drive, with the four-wheel drive system being an on-demand four-wheel drive. The front suspension type is a five-link independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is also a five-link independent suspension.
When driving my Audi Q5L, I pay special attention to the break-in period. For the first 1,500 kilometers, I exclusively used Comfort mode. In this mode, the throttle response is very gentle, with engine rpm mostly kept below 2,500, and the transmission shifts exceptionally smoothly. This allows engine components like piston rings and cylinder walls to gradually adapt through even wear. The steering wheel's feedback is also light, making city driving in traffic less tiring. Remember to avoid Dynamic mode—its delayed shifts can easily push rpm too high and harm the engine. A small tip: occasionally switching to Auto mode for highway driving is beneficial, as long as you avoid hard acceleration. Treat a new car like the early stages of a relationship—handle it with care.
