Energy management
The starting ability is optimized
The energy manag ement syst em manages th e
electrical energy distribution and optimizes the
availability of electrical energy for starting the
engine.
When a vehicle w ith a conventional energy sys ­
tem is not dr iven for a long time, the batte ry is
d rained by equ ipment (for example the immobi l­
i ze r) . In certain circumsta nces, there could may
n ot be eno ugh energy to st art the engine.
Your veh icle is equipped with an intellige nt ener­
gy management system for d istr ibut ing electric i­
ty . This s ignificantly im proves the s tarting ab ility
an d incr eases t he battery life.
The energy management system Is made up of
batter y diagnosis , idling current management
and dynami c energy management.
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis determ ines the battery
charge level. The senso rs determ ine the battery
voltage, the battery current, and t he battery
t e m perature . Th e cu rrent charge level a nd the
p e rformance of the b attery are dete rm ined based
on this.
Idling current management
The idling c urrent management dec reases the
e n ergy used wh ile pa rked . With the eng ine
sw itched off, it manages the energy dist ribution
t o the different elect rical componen ts. Date from
b attery d iagnosis is ta ken into a ccount for this.
Depending on the battery cha rge level, e lectr ica l
eq uipment is switched off o ne item after the o th ­
e r, to p revent the batte ry from draini ng an d to
r eta in the s tarting ab ili ty.
Dynamic energy management
W hile driving, dy namic energy management dis­
tr ibutes the appropriate amount of energy to the
e lectr ica l equipment.
It con trols the battery
ch arge level so th at more energy is not used then
i s being gener ate d in orde r to m aint ain a n op ti­
mal battery charge level.
Intellig ent Technology
{!) Tips
- Energy management cannot overcome the
laws o f physics . Note that the charge level
and length of the battery life are limited.
- W hen the sta rting ability is endangered, the
(•) indicator light t urns on
¢ page 17.
What you should know
Maintaining the starting ability is the highest
priority .
A lo t of stress is p laced on t he b attery when dr iv­
ing short d istances, in t raffic, and at cold times
of the year . A lot of energy is used but litt le is
generated .
It is also critical when the eng ine is
not r unning but e lectr ica l equipment is sw itched
o n . In th is case, energy is used but none is gener­
ated .
In situat ions like th is, energy management w ill
active ly regulated the distr ibut ion of energy.
Long periods without use
If you do no t drive your vehicle for severa l days o r
weeks, electrical eq uipment is gradua lly scaled
back or sw itched off . This reduces e nergy use and
ensures the vehicle will be ab le to start after long
per iods of time . Some conven ience f unctions
such as opening w it h the remote control key may
not be availab le . Th ese convenience functions
will be ava ilable again once you switch the ign i­
t io n on and sta rt the eng ine.
With the engine switched off
The battery w ill dra in if you use funct io ns such as
li ste ning to the radio wh ile the engine is switch ­
ed off .
The vehicle's ab ility to start may be impa ired by
the energy use, a message will appear in the In­
fota inme nt system display .
The message indicates that the system w ill
switch off automatically soon . If you would like
to continue using the functions, you must start
the engine .

Check ing and F illing
@ For the sake of the environment
Because of the prob lem of proper disposal of
brake fluid as we ll as the special tools re­
quired and the necessary expertise, we rec­
ommend that you have the b rake fluid
changed by your author ized Audi dealer .
Battery ( 12 V)
General information
All work on the battery requires expert knowl­
edge .
Read and follow the WARNINGS
before check­
i n g a nyth ing in the engine compartment
c::> page 188, Working in the engine compart­
ment.
The batte ry in you r Aud i does not need any main­
tena nce unde r
normal operating cond itions. A udi
re commends hav ing the e lectro lyte level check
by an au thor ized A udi dealer or au thori ze d Audi
Serv ice Facility when there a re
high outs ide tem ­
peratures or when driving a ll day. The elect rolyte
level sho uld a lso be checked each time the bat­
tery is charged
c::> page 200.
Have the battery checked when you bring your ve ­
hicle in for an inspection. It is a good idea to re­
p lace the battery if it is more than 5 years old .
T he batte ry is located in the eng ine compar tment
and is practically
maintenance-free .
Disconnecting the battery terminals
The battery shou ld not be d isconnected. Severa l
veh icle functions (power w indows, for example)
w ill be lost w hen the b attery is disconne cted. The
f u nctions mus t be reprog rammed after connect­
in g the battery. To avo id th is, the battery shou ld
only be disconn ecte d from the vehicle e lectrica l
system when it is abso lutely necessary.
T o reprogram the func tions, proceed as follows:

Not running the vehicle for long period s of
time
If you do not drive your vehicle for severa l days o r
weeks, electrical components are gradually re­ d u ced or switched off . This reduces energy con­
s u mp tion and mai ntain s the vehicle's ability to
st art over a long perio d of time
c::> page 1 21.
Some conven ien ce f unctions, such as inter ior
li ght ing o r power seats* may not wor k. T hese
convenience functions will be availab le aga in
once you sw itch the ignition on and start the en­
gine.
Winter operation
D ur ing the winte r mon ths, it is common for the
batte ry capac ity to decrease as the temperatures
become lower . This is because more power is
needed to start the vehicle and components such
as the headlights and the rear window defogger
a re used more freque ntly .
Avoid using power unnecessa rily, espec ia lly in
c ity dr iving o r on short t rips. Have your author­
i z ed Audi dealer or author iz ed Audi Se rvice Facili­
ty check the battery capacity be fore the start of
winter
c::> page 200 . A well -cha rged battery will
not only reduce sta rting prob lems in cold wea th­
e r, bu t it will a lso l ast longer.
.&_ WARNING
- W ork on the b attery requires e xper t knowl­
e d ge. Con tact an a uthor ized Audi dealer or
author ized Audi Se rvice Facility for info rma ­
tion rega rding the vehicle batte ry. There is a
-
ris k for chemical burns or e xplosions . ..,.
