"' a,
-
Only a special ly desig ned roof ra ck may be used
on your ve hicle . These roof rac ks are the basis
for a complete roof rack system. Additional at ­
tachm ents/carrier systems are necessary to
transport luggage and sports equipment . We
recommend roof racks and attachments from
the Audi Ge nuine Accessor ies program .
- When installing the roof rack, make sure that it
i s mounted only at the designated points on
the roof
c> fig . 60 .

220 l bs (100 kg) . The roof load is the total of
the weight of the roof rack, the attachments and the cargo you are carrying . However, you
must a lso note the permit ted load of the car ri­
er system being used. For the perm itted axle
l oad and the permit ted total vehicle weight , re ­
f er to
c> page 260.
A WARNING

with the roof rack system. If you do not se-
Seats and storag e
cure the roof rack system and objects o n the
roof correct ly, t hey could come loose from
the vehicle and cause an accident.
- Using a roof rack system increases the r isk
of an accident , because it changes the driv­
ing characte ristics by shifting the center of
gravity and/o r the increas ing t he surface
area exposed to w ind . Adapt your drivi ng
an d speed to the cur rent con ditions .
(D Note
Make sure t hat the luggage compartment lid
and t he sunroof* do not come into contact
with ob jects on the roof when they are open .
@ For the sake of the environment
Your vehicle will require more fuel due to the
increased w ind resis tance . So remove the roof
r ack afte r using it.

\.J ' Warm and cold Climate control system
Description
The climate control system warms, cools and re­
moves humidity from the air in the vehicle interi­
or. It is the most effective when the w indows and
sunroof* are closed. If there is a build-up of heat
inside the vehicle, ventilation can help to speed
up the cooling process.
I n all heating mode functions, except for defrost,
the blower on ly switches to a higher speed once
the engine coolant has reached a sufficient tem­
perature .
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
Key recognition
Appl ies to: ve hicles with de luxe a utoma tic clima te co ntro l
The blower setting and air distribution are stored
automatically and assigned to the remote control
key that you are using.
Appl ies to: ve hicles with 4 -zo ne del uxe automat ic cl imate
co ntrol
The climate control settings are automatically
stored and assigned to the remote control key
that is in use.
A WARNING
Poor visibility can lead to accidents.
- For safer driving, keep all windows free of
ice, snow and fog .
- Become familiar as quickly as possible with
the correct use and function of the climate
contro l system, especially with the defrost­
ing and defogging function.
- When the temperature is below freezing,
only use the windshield washer system after
Warm and cold
the windshield has been warmed by the cli­
mate control system. The washer fluid could
freeze on the windshield and impair visibili­ ty .
(D Note
-If you suspect that the climate control sys­
tem is damaged, switch the system off to
prevent further damage and have it checked
by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Aud i Service Facility.
- Repairs to the Audi climate control system
require special technical knowledge and
special tools . See an authorized Aud i dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility.
@ For the sake of the environment
-To save fuel, turn off cooling mode by press­
ing the
IAJCI button . This will also reduce
em iss ions.
- In vehicles w ith a diesel engine, you can
switch the auto supplementary heater off in
the Infotai nment system.
(D Tips
- To prevent interference with the heat ing
and cooling output and to prevent the win­
dows from fogging over, the air intake in
front of the windshie ld must be free of ice,
snow or leaves.
- Condensation from the cooling system can
dr ip and form a puddle of water under the
vehicle. This is normal and does not mean
there is a leak.
- The energy management system may tem­
porarily switch off certain functions, such as
the seat heating* or rear window defogger .
These systems are avai lable aga in as soon
as the energy supply has been restored.

Audi pre sense
Audi pre sense
Preventative passenger
protection
A pp lies to: ve hicles w ith Audi p re se nse
Pre sense can initiate steps to protect vehicle oc­
cupants in certain dangerous situations. The
functions described are available depending on
veh icle equipment:
Pre sense basic*
The following functions can be triggered in cer­
tain driving situations:
- Tensioning of the safety belts (for example,
during heavy braking): the front safety belts
have reversible belt tensioners. If a collision
does not occur, the safety belts loosen slightly
and are ready to trigger again.
- Closing the windows and the sunroof* (for ex­
ample, when
over-or understeering): the win­
dows and the sunroof* close until there is only
a small gap open.
The function of the pre sense basic is activated at
a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or higher.
Drive select: the deployment time is adapted in
Dynamic mode.
Pre sense front (vehicles with adaptive cruise
control*}
Pre sense front contains the functions of pre
sense basic . In addition, the likelihood of a rear­
end collision with the vehicle ahead is also calcu­
lated, within the limits of the system. If the risk
of a collision is detected, the following functions
can trigger:
- Braking guard
c:> page 94
- Tensioning of the safety belts
- Closing the windows and the sunroof*
Pre sense rear (vehicles with side assist*)
Pre sense rear contains the functions of pre sense
bas ic. In addition, the likelihood of a rear-end
coll ision from the vehicle beh ind is also calculat­
ed, within the limits of the system. If the risk of a
collision is detected, the following functions can
trigger:
138
- Tensioning of the safety belts
- Closing the windows and the sunroof*
Pre sense plus*
Pre sense plus contains the functions of pre
sense front and pre sense rear .
Error message
Audi pre sense: Unavailable
Preventative passenger protection is not availa­
ble. Drive to your authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility immediately to have
the malfunction corrected.
A WARNING
Pre sense cannot overcome natural physical
laws. It is a system designed to assist and it
cannot prevent a collision . Do not let the in­
creased safety provided tempt you into taking
risks. This could increase your risk of a colli­
sion.
- The system can deploy incorrectly .
- Please note that the sensors do not always
detect all objects . This increases the risk of
a collision .
- Pre sense does not react to people or ani­
mals or objects that are crossing the vehi­
cle 's path or are difficult to detect
c:> page 89.
- Reflective objects such as guard rails or the
entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain and ice can
affect the function of the radar sensors and
the system's ability to detect a collision risk.
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. Pre sense can be impaired by this.
Have an authorized Aud i dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility check their function.
{!) Tips
-Certain pre sense front functions switch off
when sport mode is switched off or when
driving in reverse. ..,.
