General notes
Running in
A new vehicle should be run in over a distance of
1,500 km. For the first 1,000 km the engine
speed should not exceed 2/3 of the maximum
permissible engine speed -do not use full throt­
tle. From 1,000 to 1,500 km you can gradually
increase the engine rpm and road speed.
During its first few hours of running, the internal
friction in the engine is greater than later on
when all the moving parts have bedded down.
How the vehicle is driven for the first 1,500 km
also influences the engine quality. After this peri­
od you should continue driving at moderate en­
gine speeds, in particular when the engine is
cold. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the
engine and increases the potential mileage which
can be covered by the engine.
You should also avoid driving with the engine
speed too low. Change down to a lower gear
when the engine no longer runs &#34;smoothly&#34;. Ex­
cessively high engine speeds are prevented by an
automatic rev limiter.
Letting the engine warm up/cool down
Applies to: Sand RS models
You can reduce the amount of wear and tear on
your vehicle during a sporty driving session sim­
ply by adopting a more restrained driving style
while the engine is warming up and cooling
down.
When the engine is cold, the engine speed is limi­
ted so that the full range of engine power is not
available. Once the engine has reached operating
temperature, the rev Limit moves to a higher
range of engine speeds. In addition, the tyres will
not develop their full grip potential until they
have had a chance to warm up on the road.
Even though the engine continues to be cooled
after you switch it off, it is particularly important
to give it time to cool down before parking. The
engine, brakes, exhaust system and gearbox will
66 all
reach very high temperatures when you adopt
a sporty driving style. Before you park the vehi­
cle, allow it to cool down to normal temperature
by driving at moderate engine speeds for several
miles.
Avoiding damage to the car
CD CAUTION
Take care not to damage low-mounted parts
of the car (such as the spoiler or exhaust sys­
tem) on steep ramps, uneven road surfaces or
roadside kerbs, etc. This applies especially to
vehicles with low ground clearance and to all
vehicles when fully laden.
Driving through water on roads
Please note the following in order to prevent
damage to the vehicle when driving through wa­
ter (e.g. on flooded roads):
- The water level must not be higher than the ve­
hicle&#39;s underbody.
- Do not drive faster than walking pace.
A WARNING
After driving through water, mud, sludge,
etc., the braking effect can be delayed slightly
due to moisture on the discs and brake pads.
Applying the brakes carefully several times
will remove the moisture and restore the full
braking effect.
CD CAUTION
- Parts of the vehicle (e.g. engine, gearbox,
running gear or electrical components) can
be badly damaged when driving through
water.
- Always switch off the start/stop system*
¢ page 71 before driving through water.
i Note
- It is advisable to check the depth at the
deepest point before approaching the wa­
ter.

WARNING
- Never press the accelerator pedal or release
the clutch inadvertently if a gear is engaged
or if the selector lever is not in position P or
N (on automatic vehicles) while the vehicle
is stationary with the engine running. The
vehicle will otherwise start moving immedi­
ately and could cause an accident.
- You should only use the emergency braking
function in a real emergency, for example if
the brake system were to fail or if the brake
pedal were to be obstructed. If you use the
emergency braking function by activating
the parking brake switch, this has the same
effect as heavy braking. Please remember
that the ESC (and the integrated ABS, EDL
and traction control functions) is still sub­
ject to certain physical limits. In a corner or
in bad road or weather conditions an emer­
gency stop can cause the vehicle to skid or
lose steering control.
- It is not possible to apply the parking brake
if the electrical power supply fails. In this
case, park the vehicle on a level surface and
select 1st gear (manual gearbox) or move
the selector lever to position P (automatic
gearbox) to prevent it from rolling. Obtain
professional assistance.
- Always take the key with you when leaving
your vehicle -even if you only intend to be
gone for a short time. This is especially im­
portant if children are left in the car. They
might otherwise be able to start the engine,
release the parking brake or use power-op­
erated equipment such as the electric win­
dows -this could lead to injuries.
- Do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the vehicle when it is locked. Locked doors
could delay assistance in an emergency, po­
tentially putting lives at risk.
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
You can apply the parking brake manually or
switch on the hold assist* when stopping at
traffic lights, etc. You do not then have to
hold the car with the brake pedal, as the Driving
brakes will stop it creeping forward while a
gear is engaged in the automatic transmis­
sion. When you drive off in the normal way,
the parking brake will be released automati­
cally and your vehicle will start moving
¢page 75.
(CD) Note
- Any slight noise which may be heard when
the parking brake is applied or released is
quite normal and no cause for concern.
- The parking brake runs an automatic test
cycle at regular intervals when the vehicle is
parked. This may cause a slight noise, which
is normal.
- If the electrical power supply fails, it is not
possible to release the parking brake (if it
was applied) or to apply the parking brake
(if it was released) ¢ &,. Obtain professional
assistance.
Moving off
Various features and safety functions are availa­
ble for driving off, depending on the equipment
in your vehicle.
Hill starting with the parking brake applied
Important: The driver&#39;s door must be closed.
� To drive off more easily on a slope, apply the
parking brake and drive off just as you usually
would. The parking brake will be released auto­
matically, but not until there is enough power
at the wheels to make the vehicle move in the
desired direction.
Hill starting with the hill hold assist
The hill hold assist function makes it easier to
drive away on a slope.
Important: The driver&#39;s door must be closed and
the engine must be running.

If this message appears, the system require­
ments have not been met.
A WARNING
Applies to: vehicles with hill hold assist
If you do not drive away immediately after re­
leasing the brake pedal, or if the engine
stalls, the vehicle may 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
76 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!
CD CAUTION
Switch off the hold assist* function before
driving the vehicle into a car wash.
� Note
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
When the hold assist* function is switched
on, it stops the vehicle from creeping for­
wards when you take your foot off the brake
pedal.
Automatic gearbox
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The vehicle is equipped with an electronically
controlled dual-clutch gearbox (S tronic). Torque
between the engine and the gearbox is transmit­
ted via two independent clutches. They enable
smooth, uninterrupted acceleration of the vehi­
cle.
The gearbox shifts up or down automatically and
continuously adapts the timing of the gear
changes to your driving style.
When you drive at moderate speeds the gearbox
will select the most economical shift pro­
gramme. It will then change up early and delay
the downshifts to give better fuel economy.
If you drive at higher speeds with heavy accelera­
tion, if you open the throttle quickly, or if you use
the kick-down or the car&#39;s maximum speed, the
gearbox will automatically select the more &#34;spor­
ty&#34; shift programmes.
If desired, you can also select the gears manually
(tiptronic mode).
