-The seat is damp or wet.
~ WARNING
Individuals with reduced sensitivity to pain or
temperature could develop burns when using
the seat heating function. To reduce the risk
of injury, these individuals should not use seat
heating.
(D Note
To avoid damage to the heating elements in the seats, do not kneel on the seats or place
heavy loads on a small area of the seat.
(D Tips
- The setting for the seat heating on the driv­
er's side is assigned to the key that is in use.
- If the front passenger's seat heating is
turned on, it will not turn on again automat­
ically if more than 10 minutes have passed
between switching the ignition
off and
switching it on again.
Auxiliary heater
Appl ies to vehicles: with diesel engine
In cool outside temperatures, the electric auxili­
ary heater helps the vehicle interior to warm
more quickly. The auxiliary heater switches on
and
off automatically according to the vehicle
heating settings.
The "auxiliary heater" function can be switched
on and
off in the MMI. Select: the !MENUI button
> Car > Systems* control button > AC > Auxiliary

General information
The first 1,000 miles (1,500 km) and
afterwards
The new engine needs to be run-in during the
first 1,000 miles (1,500 km) .
For the first 600 miles (1 ,000 k ilometers ):
.. Do not use full throttle.
.. Do not drive at engine speeds that are more
than 2/3 of the maximum permitted RPM .
.. Avoid high engine speeds .
From 600 to 1,000 miles (1,000 to
1,500 kilometers):
.. Speeds ca n gradually be increased to the maxi­
mum perm issible road or eng ine speed .
During and after break-in period
.. Do not rev the engine up to high speeds when it
is cold. This applies whether the transmission is
in N (Neutral) or in gear .
After the break-in peri od
.. Do not exceed maximum engine speed under
any circumstances.
.. Upshift into the next higher gear
before reach­
ing the red area at the end of the tachometer
scale
opage 10.
During the first few hours of driving, the engine's
internal friction is higher than later when all the
mov ing parts have been broken in. How well this
break-in process is done depends to a cons idera­
b le extent on the way the vehicle is driven dur ing
the first 1,000 miles (1,500 kilometers).
0 Note
Extremely high engine speeds are automati­
cally reduced. However, these rpm limits are
programmed for an engine well run-in, not a
new engine.
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not dr ive with unnecessarily high eng ine
speeds -upshifting early saves fuel, reduces
noise and protects the environment.

· Driving through water on roads
Note the following to avoid veh icle damage when
driving through water, for example on flooded
roads:
- The water must not be any higher than the bot­
tom of the vehicle body .
- Do not dr ive faster than walk ing speed .
A WARNING
After driv ing through water or mud, the brak­
ing effect can be reduced due to moisture on
the brake discs and bra ke pads. A few careful
brake applications sho uld dry off the brakes .
(D Note
Vehicle components such as the eng ine,
transmission, suspension or electrical system
can be severe ly damaged by driv ing through
water .
(D Tips
- Determine the depth before driving through
water.
- Do not stop the vehicle, drive in reverse or
switch the engine off when driv ing th rough
water .
- Keep in mind that oncoming veh icles may
create waves that raise the water level and
make it too deep for your vehicle to drive
through safely.
- Avoid driving through salt wate r (corrosion).
Economical and environ­
mentally-friendly driving
General
Your personal style of driving will determine the
economy of your vehicle, as well as exhaust and
noise levels.
Fuel economy, env ironmental impact, and wear
on your engine, brakes and tires largely depend
on three factors :
- your personal driving style
- operating conditions
- technical limitations

If you anticipate w hat you need to do next and
drive economically, you can easily cut your fue l
consumption by 10-15 percent. Th is sect ion will
g ive you some tips on how you can help the envi­
ronment and your pocketbook.
The consumpt ion estimates as published by
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA)
and Transport Canada may not correspond to
your actual consumption on the road, which
w ill vary depend ing upon vehicle load and
speed, road and weather conditions, trip
length, e tc.
Drive smoothly and keep a lookout ahead
Vehicles use the most fuel when they are acceler­
ating.
.. Avoid unnecessary accelerating and braking.
Vehicles use the most fuel when they are acceler­
ating. If you anticipate what is going to happen next, you will need to brake less and, thus, accel­
erate less. Let the vehicle coast whenever possi­ b le -for example when you see that the next traf­
fic light is red.
Avoid full throttle
Driving at moderate speeds saves fuel and im­
proves your mileage .
.. Try and keep well be low your car's max imum
speed .
Accelerating gently reduces fuel consumpt ion,
engine wear, and does not d isturb the env iron­
ment .
Fue l consumption, exha ust emissions and eng ine
noise increase disproportionately at high speeds.
If you drive at approx imately t hree quarters of
top speed, fuel consumpt ion w ill be reduced by
one half . Never dr ive faste r than the posted
speed limit a nd weather conditions perm it.
Dri ving
Reducing unnecessary idling
Even when your car is just idling it burns up fuel .
.. Shut the eng ine off when you are not driving
the vehicle .
.. Do not warm up the vehicle by lett ing the en-
gine run at idle.
It is efficient to switch off the engine when stop­
ped at ra ilroad crossings and long red lights.
Turning the engine off for just 30-40 seconds
saves more fuel than is b urned by starti ng the
engine aga in .
It takes a long t ime for the engine to warm up
fully when it is ru nning at idle. However, wear
and noxious emissions are espec ia lly hig h when
t h e engine is warming up. So you should d rive
away as soon as you sta rt the eng ine and avoid
run ning at high rpms w hile the eng ine is s till
warmi ng up .
@ Note
Do no t leave eng ine idl ing una ttended afte r
s ta rtin g.
If war ning lig hts s hou ld come on to
i ndica te imprope r operat ion, they would go
u nheede d. Extended idling also produces
heat, which could result in overheat ing or oth­
er damage to the ve hicle or other property.
Regular maintenance
A badly tuned engine unnecessarily wastes a lot
of fuel.
.. Have your ve hicle serviced at reg ular in tervals.
B y havi ng your ve hicle regu la rly se rv iced by an
Audi dealer he lps to ensu re that it ru ns p rope rly
and economically. The condi tion of your veh icle
not only affects its sa fety and ability to ho ld i ts
val ue, it also affects
fuel consumption.
Check your oil each time you fill your tank.
The amou nt of oi l used is re lated to engine load
and speed.
It is normal for the oil consumption of a new en­
gine to reach its lowest value after a certai n m ile-
age has been dr iven. ...,
71

Driving
You must drive your vehicle about 3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) before you can properly as­
sess oil consumption.
This also applies to fuel consumption and engine
output.
@ Note
- Have your vehicle maintained properly and
in accordance w ith the service recommenda­
tions in your Warranty
& Maintenance book­
let. Lack of proper maintenance as well as
improper use of the vehicle will impair the
function of the emission control system and
could lead to damage.
- Do not alter or remove any component of the Emission Control System unless ap­proved by the manufacturer.
- Do not alter or remove any device, such as heat shields, switches, ignition wires,
valves, which are designed to protect your
vehicle's Emission Control System and other important vehicle components.
Fewer short trips
Fuel consumption will always be relatively high
on short trips.
.,. Try to avoid driving short distances with a cold
engine.
The eng ine and catalytic converter have to reach
their optimal
operating temperature to reduce
fuel consumption and noxious emissions effec­
tively .
Just after starting, a cold engine in a mid-size car only achieves a fuel economy of 6-8 miles per
gallon (30-40 l/100 km). After about a half a mile, fuel economy climbs to 12 mpg (20
l/
100 km) . After about 2.5 miles (4 km), the en­
gine is at its proper operating temperature and
fuel economy has reached a normal level. So you
can see that you should avoid short trips whenev­
er possible.
The
outside temperature is also critical in this re­
gard. Your car consumes more fuel in the winter
than in the summer.

Steering
Adjusting the steering wheel position
The steering wheel position is fully adjustable up
and down and forward and back .
Fig. 67 Ste ering co lumn : steer ing colu mn adjus tmen t l eve r
.,. Tilt the lever ¢ fig. 67 downward ¢.&, .
.,. Bring the steering wheel into the desired posi­
tion.
.,. Push the lever against the steering column un­
til it latches .
A WARNING
Incorrect use of the steering wheel adjust­
ment and an incorrect seating position can
cause serious injuries.
- Only adjust the steering column when the
vehicle is stationary so that you do not lose
control of the vehicle.
-
-Adjust the driver's seat or steer ing wheel so
that there is at least 10 inches (25 cm) dis­
tance between your chest and the steering
wheel ¢
page 131, fig. 113. If you do not
maintain this distance, the airbag system
will not be able to provide its full protection
¢page 131, fig. 113.
-If your physical characteristics prevent you
from sitting at least 10 inches (25 cm) or
more away from the steering wheel, see if
your authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility can provide adapters that will help.
- If your face is level with the steering wheel,
the airbag does not provide as much protec­
tion during a collision . Always make sure
that the steering wheel is level with your
chest .

....,
N
-Always hold the steering wheel with your
hands in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi ­
tions to reduce the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys .
- Never hold the steer ing wheel in the 12
o'clock position or w ith both hands on the
rim or the center of the steering wheel.
Holding the stee ring wheel incorrectly sig­
nificantly increases the risk of injury to the
hands, arms and head if the airbag deploys.
Starting and stopping

Driving
& WARNING
-Never allow the engine to run in confined
spaces, because this increases the risk of as ­
phyxiation.
- Never
remove the ignition key from the igni­
tion look while the vehicle is moving . Other ­
wise the steering lock will engage and you
will not be able to steer the vehicle.
- Please note that the brake booster and pow­
er steering only work when the engine is
running . When the engine off, you must use
more force to steer or brake the vehicle. Be­
cause the usual steering and braking capa­
bility is not available, the risk of accidents or
injuries increases.
- Always take the vehicle key with you when
leaving the vehicle,
even for a short period
of time. This applies particularly when chil­
dren remain in the vehicle. Otherwise the
children could start the engine or operate
electrical equipment such as power win­
dows .
CT'.) Note
- Avoid high engine speed, full throttle, and
heavy engine load as long as the engine has
not reached operating temperature yet . You
could damage the engine .
- The engine cannot be started by pushing or
towing .
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not let the engine run while parked to
warm up. Begin driving immediately. This re­
duces unnecessary emissions.
(D Tips
- If it is difficult to turn the key to position
(D, turn the steering wheel back and forth
slightly to release the steering wheel lock.
- After starting a cold engine, there may be a
brief period of increased noise because the
oil pressure must first build up in the hy­
draulic
valve adjusters . This is normal and
not a cause for concern.
- If the battery is disconnected and recon­
nected, you have to hold the ignition key in
74
position (D for five seconds for the engine
to start.
- After switching the ignition off, you can only
remove the key when the selector lever is in
the "P" (Park) position. After that, the selec­
tor lever is locked.
Stopping the engine with the key
App lies to vehicles : with mechanical ignition loc k
Stopping the engine
.. Bring the vehicle to a full stop .
.. Turn the key to posi tion @.
Releasing the steering lock
Requirement: The selector lever must be in the P
position.
.,. Remove the ignition key in position@
q page 75, fig. 69 q ,&..
.. Turn the steering wheel until you hear the
steering wheel lock.
The locked steering helps prevent vehicle theft.
A WARNING
-
-Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop. The full func­
tion of the brake booster and the power
steering is not guaranteed. You must use
more force to turn or brake if. Because you
cannot steer and brake as you usually
would, this could lead to accidents and seri ­
ous injuries.
- Never
remove the ignition key from the igni­
tion look while the vehicle is moving . Other­
wise, the steering lock could suddenly en­
gage and you would not be able to steer the
vehicle.
- Please note that the brake booster and pow­
er steering only work when the engine is
running. When the engine off, you must use
more force to steer or brake the vehicle. Be­
cause the usual steering and braking capa­ bility is not available, the risk of accidents or
injuries increases.
- Always take the vehicle key with you when

children remain in the vehicle. Otherwise
the children could start the engine or oper­ate electrical equipment such as power win­
dows .
- For safety reasons, always park the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position.
Otherwise, there is the risk that the vehicle
could roll.
- After the engine has been switched off, the
radiator fan can continue to run for up to 10
minutes -even with the ignition switched
off.
It can also switch on again after some
time if the coolant temperature rises as a
result of heat build up or if the engine com­
partment is heated by sunlight and the en­
gine is hot.
(D Note
- If the engine has been under heavy load for
an extended period of time, heat builds up
in the engine compartment after the engine
is switched off -there is a risk of damaging
the engine . For this reason, let the engine
run for at idle for approximately two mi­
nutes before shutting it off.
