Maidstone Audi Audi glossary

“E” stands for “electronic.” In cars equipped with e-gas, the accelerator pedal acts like a sensor. Based on the position of the pedal, it immediately recognizes the performance the driver wants. This output signal is used to adjust the engine management system, the throttle plate, turbocharger boost pressure and ignition. This electronic system takes the place of the traditional control technology via Bowden cable and offers significant advantages: e-gas simplifies electronic engine management, responds more quickly and is a technical prerequisite for the electronic stabilization program (ESP).
