® For the sake of the environment
Do not warm up the engine by running it with
the car stationary. You should drive off imme­
diately whenever possible. This will help avoid
unnecessary exhaust emissions.
© Note
- Any noises which may be heard when the
engine is started are quite normal and no
cause for concern.
- If
you
leave your vehicle with the ignition
switched on, it will be switched off auto­
matically after
a
while. Please note that
electrical equipment such as the exterior
lighting will also be switched off.
Switching off the engine
Applies to: vehicles with convenience key

•
Stop the vehicle.

•
Automatic gearbox: Move the selector lever to
position P.

•
Press the ISTART ENGINE STOP| button

Steering
lock15

The steering will be locked if
you
switch off the
engine with the ISTART ENGINE STOP| button,
move the selector lever to position P (on vehicles
with automatic gearbox*) and open the driver's
door. The steering lock acts as a theft deterrent.
Emergency Off function
If necessary in an emergency, the engine can be
switched off while the vehicle is still moving at
speeds of 7 km/h and above. To switch off the
engine, press the ISTART ENGINE STOP| button
twice in quick succession or hold it in for longer
than two seconds.
A WARNING
- Never switch off the engine until the vehicle
is stationary. Otherwise you may not have
the full benefit of the brake servo and pow­
er steering. You may need more strength to
steer and brake the vehicle than you nor­
mally would. This would mean a greater risk
of accidents and serious injury, because you
cannot steer and brake in the normal
man­

ner.
- Always take the key with you when you Leave
the vehicle. Otherwise the engine can be
started or power-operated equipment such
as the electric windows can be used. This
could result in serious injury.
- When parking, always move the selector
lever to position
P
to prevent the vehicle
from rolling back accidentally.
If the engine has been working hard for
a
long

time,
there is a risk of heat building up in the
engine compartment after the engine has
been switched off; this could cause engine
damage. For this reason, you should leave the
engine idling for about 2 minutes before
switching it off.
©
Note

After the engine is stopped, the radiator fan
may remain on or turn itself back on for up to
10 minutes, even if the ignition is switched
off. This may occur for the following reasons:
- Residual heat has raised the coolant
tem­

perature.
- Direct sunlight has additionally heated up
the engine compartment while the engine is

warm.

- Applies to vehicles with diesel particulate
filter: The emission control system is hot
because of the regeneration process, even
though the engine has
not
yet reached oper­
ating temperature.

you
do not drive away immediately after re­
leasing the brake pedal, or if the engine

stalls,
the vehicle could start to roll back. You
should therefore immediately press the brake
pedal or apply the parking brake.
A WARNING
The intelligent technology in the hold assist*
and hill hold assist functions cannot defy the
laws of physics. Do not let the extra conven­
ience afforded by the hold assist* and hill
hold assist functions tempt you into taking
any risks when driving - this can cause
acci­

dents.

- The hold assist* and hill hold assist func­
tions cannot keep the vehicle stationary in
all conditions on a gradient (e.g. if the road
is slippery or icy).
- Always ensure that the vehicle is stopped
properly and safely - risk of accident!

(T)
CAUTION
Switch off the hold assist* function before
driving the vehicle into a car wash.

pedal.

Off-road driving
General notes
The functions of the electronic stabilisation
con­

trol (ESC) have been augmented to provide extra
assistance when driving off-road. The
ESC
off-
road mode can be activated in situations when it
would be advantageous for the wheels to lock, or
when a differential Lock would normally be re­
quired
^>page
146.
This Audi model is not an off-road vehicle, how­
ever. When driving off-road you are advised to
avoid tracks or terrain which are not suited to
the design of the car and your own driving skills
and experience. Do not take any risks.
After driving off-road
- After driving, remove any pieces of foliage or
other objects which may be caught in the radia­
tor grille, under the car or in the wheels. In par­
ticular, inspect the tyre treads for stones.
- Clean the bodywork and underside of the
vehi­

cle and check the underside for possible dam­

age.

- Remove dirt from the windows, headlight
len­

ses and number plates. •

Driving
A WARNING
- The driver should never get out of the
vehi­

cle when the engine is running and a gear is

engaged.
If you have to leave your vehicle
while the engine is running, you must apply
the parking brake and engage the parking
lock P.
-If the engine is running and a gear is engag­
ed (D/S or R) or the vehicle is in "tiptronic"

mode,
you will need to hold the car with the
footbrake. Otherwise, the car will "creep"
forwards as the power transmission is not
fully interrupted even when the engine is

idling.

- The accelerator pedal must on no account
be pressed inadvertently when the vehicle is
stationary. The vehicle could otherwise start
moving immediately (in some cases even if
the parking brake is engaged) and possibly
cause an accident.
- Do not press the accelerator while selecting
a gear with the vehicle stationary and the
engine running, as this could cause an
acci­

dent.
- Never move the selector lever to R or P
when driving at normal speeds, as this could
cause an accident.
- Before you drive down a steep gradient, re­
duce the speed and use "tiptronic" to select
a low gear.
- Never allow the brake to drag when driving
downhill and do not use the brake pedal too
often
or
for long periods. Constant braking
will cause the brakes to overheat and will
considerably reduce the effectiveness of the
brakes. It will increase the braking distance
and could cause the brake system to
fail.

- To avoid rolling back on gradients always
hold the vehicLe with the footbrake or park­
ing brake if you have to stop.
- Never attempt to hold the vehicle with the
clutch when stopping on a gradient. The
clutch is disengaged automatically if it is
overloaded and becomes too hot - accident
risk! If the clutch is overloaded, the indica­
tor lamp
0
will light up and a message will
appear
^>page
92.
© CAUTION
- When you have stopped on a gradient, do
not try to stop the vehicle rolling back by ac­
celerating when a gear is engaged. This
could cause the automatic gearbox to over­
heat and become damaged. Apply the park­
ing brake or press the brake pedal in order
to prevent the vehicle from rolling back.
- If you allow the car to roll with the selector
lever in position N with the engine switched
off, the automatic gearbox will be damaged
as it will not be lubricated
^page
328,
Tow-starting / towing
away.

- In certain driving and traffic conditions, for
instance in stop-and-go traffic, if you have
to pull away frequently or if the vehicle
creeps forwards over a long distance, the
gearbox can overheat and become dam­

aged.
If the indicator Lamp
[5J
or the warn­
ing
lampH
Lights up, stop the vehicle at
the first opportunity and let the gearbox
cool down

© Note
For safety reasons the parking brake will only
release automatically if the driver's door is

closed.

Downhill speed control
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The downhill speed control function helps the
driver when driving down steep gradients.
Downhill speed control is activated on a downhill
gradient when the selector lever is in D/S and the
driver presses the brake pedal. The gearbox auto­
matically selects a suitable gear for the gradient.
The downhill speed control function attempts to
maintain the speed at which the vehicLe was trav­
elling when the foot brake was applied (subject
to the laws of physics and technical limitations of
the power train). It may be necessary to adjust
the speed again using the foot brake. The down­
hill speed control can change down to 3rd gear
but no further, so it may be necessary to change
to tiptronic mode on very steep gradients. In this

case,
change down manually to 2nd or 1st gear in •
CO

Driving

speed.
The upshift to the next higher gear is de­
layed until the engine reaches maximum rpm.
WARNING
Please note that if the road surface is slippery
or wet, the kick-down feature could cause the
driven wheels to
spin,
which could result in

skidding.

Coasting mode
Applies to: vehicles with S tronic gearbox and coasting mode
In coasting
mode1)
you can use the vehicle's mo­
mentum to freewheel, for instance when ap­
proaching a speed restriction in a built-up area.
The engine is disengaged from the gearbox. This
allows you to save fuel by anticipating the traffic
situation ahead.
Requirements for using coasting mode

•
Efficiency mode selected in drive select*

^>page
131.

*•
The selector lever must be in position D.

•
Road speed less than approx. 130 km/h.

does not slow down as quickly as usual or
may even pick up speed if
you
are driving
down a slope - risk of accident!
- If other people are using your car, you
should draw their attention to the coasting

mode.
