sumption.
Suspension control (Audi magnetic ride)*
The suspension control uses sensors to collect in­
formation on steering movements, braking and
acceleration input by the driver, road surface
quality, road speed and vehicle Loading. With
drive select you can choose between dynamic and
comfort-oriented suspension set-ups (dynamic
and comfort modes), or opt for a more balanced
set-up (auto mode).
Steering
The degree of power assistance can be varied.
Various modes are possible ¢ page 92.
The steering response is even more agile on
vehicles with progressive steering*.
Air conditioner*
The air conditioner runs in a particularly econom­
ical mode when the efficiency* setting is selec­
ted. When this function is selected, eco* is shown
in the display of the automatic air conditioner.

aids
out of spaces parallel to the kerb. The parking
space can be located between two vehicles or be­
hind one vehicle. The park assist takes over the
steering while the driver is parking the vehicle in
the usual way.
The parking system plus is an integral compo­
nent of the park assist ¢ page 94 and helps you
during the parking manoeuvre.
The park assist sensors are located on the sides
of the front and rear bumpers. Please ensure that
the sensors are kept free of stickers, deposits and
any other substances which could impair the
function of the system. Notes on cleaning
¢page 236.
In short parking spaces, the parking aid warning
tone will sound continuously when the vehicle is
less than approx. 0.20 m away from the obstacle.
Stop moving immediately!
A WARNING
- Please observe the safety warnings ¢ & in
General notes on page 93.
- Please note that the park assist only han­
dles the steering. As the driver you are al­
ways responsible for braking and accelerat­
ing.
- It is the driver's responsibility to decide
whether a parking space shown in the dis­
play is suitable for the vehicle.
- The front of the vehicle swings out during
the parking manoeuvre. Please take all nec­
essary measures to ensure that other road
users are not endangered.
- The steering wheel turns rapidly on its own
when parking the vehicle and leaving the
space. Injury may result if a person reaches
between the spokes on the steering wheel
when it is turning.
CD CAUTION
- Please observe the safety warnings ¢0 in
General notes on page 93.
- In certain situations, the park assist will
guide the vehicle onto or across the kerb,
for instance if other vehicles are parked on
the kerb. You should always be ready to take
96 over
the steering wheel in order to prevent
damage to the tyres and/or wheel rims.
- Certain conditions in and around the park­
ing space can cause unexpected results
when parking.
- Objects such as pillars, posts, etc.
Road surfaces such as loose gravel, snow,
ice, etc.
CD CAUTION
- The sensors may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as trailer draw bars, thin
rails, fences, posts, waste bins and trees,
etc. This could result in damage to your car.
- Please note that the system may not always
be able to detect the surface of certain ob­
jects or substances, such as wire fences or
powder snow, etc. You should therefore
check that the parking space is really large
enough before parking the vehicle.
- Please note that low obstacles detected by
the system may no longer be registered by
the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
system will not give any further warning.
Failure to respond to a parking system
warning can result in damage to your vehi­
cle and other property. Please bear this in
mind, for example, when using the park as­
sist to park behind a truck. Always keep a
close watch on the area in front of and be­
hind the vehicle while parking, and inter­
vene promptly if necessary.
- To prevent damage to the sensors when
washing the vehicle with a high-pressure
cleaner or a steam cleaner, do not hold the
cleaner less than 10 cm away from the sen­
sors and do not keep the cleaner pointed di­
rectly at the sensors.
({D Note
- The electronic stabilisation control (ES()
must not be switched off during the parking
manoeuvre ¢page 104.
- The park assist cannot be used to park the
vehicle on tight bends.

and tyres
Wheels General notes
... Inspect the tyres regularly for damage (cuts,
cracks or blisters, etc.). Remove any foreign
bodies embedded in the treads.
... If you have to drive over a kerb or similar obsta­
cle, drive very slowly and as near as possible at
a right angle to the kerb.
... Damaged rims or tyres must be replaced imme­
diately.
... Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.
... Mark
the wheels before taking them off so that
they rotate in the same direction when refitted.
... When removed, the wheels should be stored
flat in a cool, dry and preferably dark place.
CD CAUTION
- Please note that summer and winter tyres
are optimised for the prevailing road condi­
tions at different times of year. We recom­
mend that you use winter tyres during the
winter months. At low temperatures, sum­
mer tyres lose their elasticity and grip, and
braking performance also suffers as a re­
sult. Cracks can form in the tread block on
summer tyres if they are used at very cold
temperatures, and this can cause perma­
nent damage to the tyres. An increase in
rolling noise and tyre imbalance may result
from this damage.
- Machined, polished or chrome-plated rims
must not be used in winter conditions. The
process used to manufacture these types of
wheel rim does not provide adequate sur­
face protection against corrosion, and the
rims can be permanently damaged by road
salt or similar.
New wheels or tyres
It is best to have all servicing of wheels and tyres
performed by a qualified workshop, since they
have the necessary special tools and replacement
parts and trained personnel. Wheels
and tyres
... New tyres do not yet give maximum grip. When
driving with new tyres, drive at moderate
speeds and be especially careful during the first
500 km.
... All four wheels must be fitted with tyres of the
same type, size (rolling circumference) and
preferably the same tread pattern.
... Tyres should be replaced in pairs and not indi­
vidually (i.e. both front tyres or both rear tyres
together).
... We recommend the use of Audi Genuine Tyres.
If you wish to use other tyres, please note that
the actual size can differ from the nominal size
marked on the tyre ¢.&_
.
... If you wish to purchase a different combination
of rims and tyres than the ones fitted on the ve­
hicle during production, it is advisable to con­
sult a qualified workshop beforehand ¢.&_
.
On vehicles with four-wheel drive, all four wheels
must always be fitted with tyres of the same
type, make and tread pattern, as otherwise the
driveline can be damaged by variations in the
wheel speeds. For the same reason, only use a
spare wheel* which has the same rolling circum­
ference as the normal road wheels.
If the spare wheel* is not the same type as the
tyres fitted on the car (for example if the car has
winter tyres or wide-section tyres) you should on­
ly use the spare wheel* if a puncture occurs, and
then only for a short period of time. In this case,
please drive with extra care. Refit a normal road
wheel as soon as possible.
Manufacturing date
The manufacturing date is indicated on the tyre
sidewall (possibly only on the inner side of the
wheel):
DOT ... 2214 ...
means, for example, that the tyre was produced
in the 22nd week of 2014.
Audi Genuine Tyres
Audi Genuine Tyres with the marking "AO" or
"RO" are specially matched to your Audi. When
used properly, these tyres meet the highest
standards in safety and handling. Your specialist
retailer will be glad to provide more information . ..,..

& WARNING
- Use only tyre/rim combinations and match­
ing wheel bolts approved by Audi. Otherwise
damage to the vehicle and an accident could
result.
- For technical reasons, it is not possible to
use wheels from other vehicles. In certain
cases, it is not even possible to use wheels
from another vehicle of the same model.
- It is very important to ensure that the tyres
you have chosen have adequate clearance.
When selecting replacement tyres, do not
rely entirely on the nominal tyre size marked
on the tyre; with some makes of tyre the ef­
fective tyre size can differ significantly from
the nominal dimensions, even though the
tyres have the same size designation. Inade­
quate tyre clearance can result in damage to
the tyres or the vehicle, causing a serious
safety risk.
- Avoid running the car on tyres that are more
than 6 years old. If you have no alternative,
you should drive slowly and with extra care
at all times.
- The use of run-flat tyres on your vehicle is
NOT authorised! Unauthorised use can cause
an accident or damage your vehicle.
- If wheel trims are fitted after the car is pur­
chased, ensure that there is an adequate
flow of air for cooling the brakes -risk of ac­
cident!
Tyre wear / damage
Fig. 219 Tyre tread: Tread wear indicators
l l
Please observe the applicable regulations in the country in
which you are travelling.
232 Tyre
wear
Inspect the tyres regularly for damage.
- The wear on under or over-inflated tyres is sig­
nificantly higher.
- Fast cornering, heavy acceleration and hard
braking all increase tyre wear.
- If you notice excessive tyre wear, have the
wheel alignment checked by a qualified work­
shop.
- Have your tyres rebalanced if steering wheel vi­
brations indicate an imbalance. Otherwise, the
tyres and other parts of the vehicle may wear
faster.
Tread wear indicators
The original tyres on your vehicle have 1.6 mm
high tread wear indicators ¢ Fig. 219 running
across the tread at regular intervals. The letters
"TWI" or triangles on the sidewall indicate the
positions of the tread wear indicators.
The minimum tread depth 1
) is reached at the lat­
est when the tread is worn down to the tread
wear indicators. Replace the tyres with new ones
¢ ,&..
Changing wheels round
Wheels should be changed round regularly to en­
sure that the wear is equal on all tyres. Fit the
wheels from the rear axle on the front axle and
vice-versa. All the tyres will then last for about
the same time.
On tyres with a directional tread pattern, note
the direction of rotation indicated on the sidewall
¢page 247.
Concealed damage
Damage to tyres and rims is often not readily visi­
ble. If you notice unusual vibrations or the car
pulling to one side, this may indicate that one of
the tyres is damaged. Reduce your speed imme­
diately. Inspect the tyres for damage. If no exter­
nal damage is visible, drive slowly and carefully
to the nearest qualified workshop and have the
car inspected.
