vre - risk of injury!
- Cover any sharp edges on the objects you

Roof carrier

Fig.
64 Attachment points for roof carrier
Note the folLowing points if
you
intend to carry
loads on the roof:
- Only use roof carrier cross bars designed for
your vehicle. The cross bars form the basic ele­
ments of
a
complete roof carrier system. Addi­
tional elements/carrier systems are needed in
order to transport luggage and sports equip­
ment. We recommend using roof carriers and
additional elements from the range of Audi
Genuine Accessories.
- The feet of the roof carrier cross bars must be
attached at the points provided on the roof

*>Fig.
64.
- You should ensure that you do not exceed the
maximum permitted axle loads, gross weight
and roof load
for
your vehicle

roof load limit applies to the combined weight
of the roof carrier, the additional elements and
the Load itself. Please do not exceed the maxi­
mum carrying load of the carrier system you are

using.

A WARNIN
- Note the fitting instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the roof carrier system. If
you do not secure the roof carrier system
and roof load correctly, they can become
separated from the vehicle and cause an ac­
cident.
- The use of
a
roof carrier system affects the
vehicle's handling by shifting the centre of
gravity and increasing susceptibility to cross
winds - risk of accident! Take extra care
when driving and adjust your speed accord­
ingly.
CAUTION
- Any damage to the vehicle caused by the
use of other types of roof rack or incorrect
installation will not be covered by the facto­
ry warranty. The roof carrier system must
therefore be installed exactly according to
the instructions provided.
- Please take care that the boot lid and panor­
ama sun roof* do not come into contact
with the roof load when opened.

(•)
For
the sake of the environment
The increased air resistance means that the
vehicle uses more
fuel.
For this reason you
should always take off the roof carrier when it
is not in use.

Manual air conditioner*
For
a
comfortable climate inside the vehicle us­
ing the air conditioner:
- In the summer, adjust the temperature to just
a few degrees below the outside temperature
- Do not turn the blower up too high

pants
A/C Cooling mode*
The air cooling system only works when the blow­
er is switched on. The air cooling mode is switch­
ed on/off when the A/C button is pressed. When
the air cooling is switched off, the air is not
cooled and therefore not dehumidified. The
win­

dows may mist up as a result. The air cooling is
switched off automatically at low outside

is increased to maximum and most of the air
comes out of the outlets below the windscreen.
The air recirculation mode is deactivated. The
temperature should be set to 22 °C or higher.

Air recirculation mode
The air recirculation mode can be switched on
manually or automatically*.

|MENU|
button > Car > left control button > A/C
> Auto recirculation. The air quality sensor,
which is designed for the detection of diesel
and petrol exhaust fumes, automatically
switches the air recirculation mode on or off
depending on the
level
of pollution in the out­
side air.
In air recirculation mode, the air from the interi­
or of the vehicle is filtered and recirculated. This
setting prevents fumes etc. from entering the in­
terior. We recommend switching on the air recir­
culation mode when driving through a tunnel or
in traffic queues

Rear window heating
If the rear window heating is activated with the
ignition switched on, the battery management
determines whether or not the battery charge
level is sufficient for the rear window heating to
be switched on. Otherwise the rear window heat­
ing operates when the engine is running, and
switches off automatically after about
10 - 20 minutes, depending on the outside
tem­

perature.
To switch on the rear window heating perma­
nently, press and hold the
S
button for at least
2 seconds. This setting will be stored for approxi­
mately 15 minutes after the ignition is switched

off.

^
Seat heating*
When you press the
«r
button, the seat heating is
switched on at level 3 (the highest level). The
LEDs indicate the temperature level. To reduce
the temperature, press the button again. To
switch off the seat heating, press the button re­
peatedly until all the LEDs have gone out.
The seat heating automatically switches from
level 3 to level 2 after about 10 minutes.
A WARNING
For reasons of safety you should not leave
the air recirculation switched on for too

long.
This mode prevents fresh air from en­
tering the vehicle, so the windows can mist

Audi pre sense
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense
The pre sense functions can take action to pro­
tect the vehicle occupants and other road users in
certain hazardous conditions within the system

limits.

- Because the different on-board systems are

networked,
pre sense basic can detect critical
situations and take preventive action to protect
the occupants.
- The pre sense front uses the data of the radar
sensor to calculate the probability of an
acci­

dent
opage
112. It can detect an impending
collision with vehicles or
pedestrians1^
(subject
to general system limitations). In this case, the
system warns the driver visually, acoustically

and,
if necessary, with a short, sharp brake ap­

plication.
If necessary, it can initiate a partial or

fuLl
brake application in order to reduce the im­
pact speed or, in certain circumstances, to
avoid a collision. In conjunction with pre sense
basic, the reversible tensioners on the front
seat belts are also applied if necessary. Pre
sense front is active even when the adaptive
cruise control* is switched off.
Please observe the general safety warnings

•=>
A in General notes on page 112.
© Note
- Certain pre sense functions are deactivated
when reversing.
- The functions of the pre sense system may
also be unavailable if
a
fault develops in the

ESC
system or airbag control unit.
- Please note that, if the front passenger's
airbag has been deactivated, the reversible
belt tensioner on the passenger's side will
be deactivated as
well.

- Switch off pre sense on private roads and
while the vehicle is being loaded onto a car
transporter, train or ferry, etc. This prevents
the pre sense system from taking action in
an inappropriate situation.
Audi pre sense basic
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense basic
The pre sense basic functions are activated at
speeds above approximately 30 km/h.
The system can activate the following functions
in certain situations:
- Seat belt tensioning (e.g. during hard braking):
The seat belts on the front seats have reversi­
ble tensioners. Provided an accident does not
occur, the belts are loosened again slightly and
kept ready for activation.
- Initiation of the closure process for the
win­

dows and panorama sun roof* (e.g. if the
vehi­

cLe understeers or oversteers).
Audi drive select*: the activation threshold
dif­

fers according to the mode selected.
