@) 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
- Some noise after starting the engine is nor­
mal and is no cause for concern.
- If the . indicator light blinks in the instru­
ment cluster before switching the ignition
off, the ignition will not switch on again.

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. Because you
cannot steer and brake as you usually
would, this could lead to accidents and seri­
ous injuries.
- 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.
- 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 unintentionally .
- 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 the result of heat buildup or if the engine com­
partment is heated by the sun's rays and the
engine 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

Emergency braking function
In the event that the conventional brake system
fails or locks.
11-To brake your vehicle in an emergency, pull the
s wi tch (D and hold it¢
page 73, fig. 78.
11-As soon as you release the switch (Dor acceler -
ate , the brak ing stops.
Pulling and holding the switch (D while driving at
a speed of about 2 mph (3 km/h) or higher ini ­
tiates the emergency b raking function . The vehi­
cle brakes at all four whee ls by act ivat ing the
b raking hydrauli cs. The b rake perfo rmance is
sim ilar to heavy braking.¢.&
To reduce the r isk of activating the emergency
braking by mistake, an audible warning tone
(buzzer) so unds when the switch (Dis pulled.
E mergency braking stops as soon as the
switch (Dis released o r the accelerator pedal is
pressed.
A WARNING
Emergency braking should only be used in an
emergency, when the normal brake pedal has
failed or the brake pedal is obstructed. Dur ing
emergency braking, your vehicle will brake
sim ilar to heavy braking . ESC and the associ ­
ated components (ABS, ASR, EDL) cannot
overcome the laws of physics. In corners and
when road o r weathe r cond itions are bad, a
full brake application can cause the vehicle to skid or the rear end to break away, wh ich in ­
creases the risk of an accident.
Hill hold
Appl ies to: ve hicles with hill hold assist
Hill hold makes it easier to start on hills.
Requiremen t: the d river's door must be closed
and the eng ine must be r unning.
The system is act ivated when the brake pedal is
p ressed wh ile the vehicle is stat iona ry .
T o prevent the veh icle from rolling back when
starting , the brake power is held for a brief mo ­
ment afte r releasing the brake pedal. Dur ing this
time, you can eas ily beg in to move you r vehicle.
D riv ing
A WARNING
- The intelligent technology of Hill Hold can­
not overcome the limitat ions imposed by
natural phys ical laws. The increased comfort
offe red by Hi ll Hold shou ld no t cause you to
take safety risks.
- Hill Hold cannot hold the vehicle in a ll hill
start s ituations (for example, if the g round
is slippery or icy) .
- I f you do not beg in moving immediately af­
ter releasing the b rake peda l, the vehi cle
could begin to roll ba ckward under certain
circumstances . Press the bra ke pedal or set
the parking brake immediately .
- If the engine "stalls", press the brake peda l
or set the parking bra ke immed iate ly.
- Stop-and-go traffic on inclines: to help pre­
vent the vehicle from rolling back when con­
tinuing to drive, press and hold the brake
pedal for several seconds when the vehicle
is stationary.

Trailer mode Driving with a trailer
General information
Your Audi was designed primarily for passenger
transportation .
If you plan to tow a trailer, please remember that
the additiona l load will affect durability, econo­
my and performance.
T railer tow ing not only p laces more stress on the
vehicle, it a lso calls for more concentration from
the dr iver.
F or this reason, always follow the operating and
driving instructions provided and use common
sense.
Technical requirements
Trailer hitch Use a weight -carrying hitch conforming to the
gross tra iler weig ht. The h itch must be suitab le
for your vehicle and tra iler and must be mo unted
securely on the vehicle's chassis at a technically
sound
location . Use on ly a trailer hitch with a re­
movable ba ll mou nt. Always che ck wit h the t rail­
e r hitch manufac turer to make s ure that you are
usi ng the correct hitch .
Do not u se a bumper hitch .
The hitc h must be installed in such a way t hat it
does not interfere with the impact -absorbing
bumper system . No modifications should be
made to the vehicle exhaust and brake systems .
Fr om time to time, chec k that a ll hitc h mount ing
bo lts rema in securely faste ned.
When you are not towing a trailer,
remove the
tra iler hitch ba ll mount . This prevents the hitch
from ca using damage s hou ld your veh icle be
s truck from beh ind
~ ,&. .
Trailer brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a braking system,
check to be su re that it conforms to all regula­
tions .
Trailer mode
The t rai ler hydra ulic brake sys tem must not be
directly connected to the vehicle's hydra ulic
bra ke system.
Safety chains
Always use safety ch ains be tween your ve hicle
and the trailer.
Trailer lights
T ra ile r ligh ts must meet all regulations . Be sure
to chec k w it h your Aud i dea le r fo r correct wir ing,
swi tches and relays .
Mirrors
If you are unab le to see the traffic behind you us­
i ng the regular outside mir rors, then you
must in­
sta ll extended mirro rs . It i s important that you
always have clear vision to t he rear.
,8. WARNING
Afte r remov ing the tra ile r hi tch , do no t st o re
i t in yo ur vehicle. In ca se of sudden brak ing,
the hitch could fly fo rward and injure you or
your passengers .
Operating instructions
Maximum trailer we ight
A tra iler for your vehicle is lim ited to a typical
class 1 or class 2 trailer.
Trailer load distribution B e sure the load in the tra ile r i s held se curely in
pla ce to p reve nt i t from shifting forward, bac k­
ward or si deways.
Never allow a passenger to ride in a trailer~.&.
in Driving instructions on page 86.
Engine cooling system
Towing a tra iler makes the engine work harder. It
is important that the cooling system's perform ­
ance is up to the additional load . Make sure that
the coo ling syst em has enoug h flu id.
Tire pressure
When towing a trailer, inflate the tires of your
vehicle to the cold tire pressure listed under
"Full ..,.
85

<( co .... N ,.__
N .... 0 ,.__
> co
Before you actually tow your trailer, practice
turning, stopping and backing up in an area away
from traff ic. Keep practicing until you have be­
come completely familiar with the way your vehi­
cle-trailer combination behaves and responds.
Backing up is difficult and requires practice.
Backing up with a trailer generally requires steer­
ing action opposite to that when backing up your
vehicle without a trailer.
Maintain a greater distance between your vehicle
and the one in front of you. You wi ll need more
room to stop. To compensate for the trailer, you
will need a larger than normal turning radius.
When passing, remember that you cannot accel­
erate as fast as you norma lly would because of
the added load. Make sure you have enough room
to pass. After passing, allow plenty of room for
your trailer before changing lanes again.
Avoid jerky starts, sharp turns or rap id lane
changes.
@ Tips
- Do not tow a trailer during the break-in peri­
od of your vehicle.
- If you tow a trailer, your Audi may require
more frequent maintenance due to the ex­
tra load
<=> page 2 53.
Parking on a slope
Do not pork on a slope with a trailer. If it cannot
be avoided, do so only ofter doing the following:
When parking:
.. Apply the foot brake .
.. Have someone pla ce chocks under both the ve­
hicle and the trailer wheels .
.. With chocks in place, slowly release the brakes
until the wheel chocks absorb the load .
.. Turn the wheels towards the curb .
.. Apply the parking brake .
.. Select the P selector lever position.
When restarting after parking :
.. Apply the foot brake.
.. Start the engine .
.. Select the D/S selector lever position.
Trailer mode
.. Release the parking brake and slowly pull out
and away from the wheel chocks.
.. Stop and have someone retrieve the whee l
chocks.
{!) Tips
If you move the selector lever of the automat­
ic transmission to P before applying the park­
ing brake and before blocking the wheels, you
may have to use more force later to move the
lever out of the P posit ion.

Electronic stabilization
control (ESC)
Description
The Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) rein for­
ces driver safety . It reduces the risk of slipping
and improves driving stability. ESC detects crit i­
cal s ituations such as the vehicle oversteering
and understeering or the wheels are spinning.
The vehicle is stabilized by applying the brakes or reducing eng ine torq ue. When the ESC engages,
the
D1 ind icator light blinks in the instrument
cluste r.
The fo llow ing systems are integrated in the ESC :
Ant i-loc k braking system (ABS)
ABS p revents the whee ls from locking whe n brak­
ing. The vehicle can sti ll be steered even during
hard brak ing. Apply steady press ure to the brake
pedal. Do not pump the pedal. A puls ing in t he
b rake pedal indicates that the system is acting to
s tabilize the vehicle .
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can decrease brak ing dis­
tance . It increases braking power when the d river
presses the brake pedal quick ly in emergency sit­
uations . You must press and hold t he b rake pedal
until the dangerous situat io n is over . In veh icles
with adapt ive c ruise control*, the bra ke as sist
sy stem is more sensitive if t he di sta nce detec ted
t o the vehicle ahea d is too sm all.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
ASR reduces eng ine power when the drive wheels
beg in sp inning a nd adapts the force to the road
conditions . This makes it easie r to start, acceler­
a te and dr ive u p in clines.
Electronic differential lock (EDL )
The EDL brakes w heels that a re spinning and
transfers the drive power to the other drive
wheel or whee ls if t he ve hicle is equipped with a ll
wheel drive*) . T his funct ion is not av ailable at
h igher speeds.
116 I
n extreme cases, ED L automat ically swi tches off
to keep the brake on the braked whee l from over­
heating. The veh icle is still working correct ly. ED L
will switc h on again automatically when condi­
tions have returned to normal.
Steering recommendation
The ESC he lps to stabili ze the vehicle by cha nging
the steering torque.
Selective wheel torque control
Se lective w hee l to rque cont rol is used when d riv ­
i ng o n curves. The fron t whee l on the inside of
the curve or bo th whee ls on the inside of the
cu rve are braked se lective ly as needed. This al­
l ows mo re precise driving in cu rves.
Automatic post-collision braking system
The "A utomat ic pos t-coll is io n braking sy stem"
c a n hel p to reduce t he risk of sliding and o f othe r
collisions after an accident . If the a irbag cont rol
module detects a collision a bove a certain vehicle
speed, the vehicle is bra ked by the ESC.
The vehicle does not bra ke automatically if:
- the dr ive r presses the acce lerator pedal, or
- the braking force generated by the pressed
brake pedal is grea ter than the braking force
that wo uld be i nitiated by the system, or
- the ESC, the brake system o r the ve hicle elect ri­
cal system are not func tioning .
A WARNING
- The ESC and its integ rated syste ms can not
o vercome the lim its posed by natural physi ­
c a l la ws. Thi s is espe cial ly import ant on sli p­
pe ry o r we t roads. If the systems beg in act ­
ing to stabilize your ve hicle, yo u should im­
mediately a lter your speed to matc h the
road and traffic condit ions. Do not let the
increased safety pr ovided tempt you into
taking risks . This cou ld increase your risk of
a co llision .
- Please note the r isk of a collis ion increases
when dr iv ing fast, especia lly t hrough c urves
and on slippery or wet roads, and when dr iv­
ing too close to objects ahead. The ESC and
i t s in tegr ated systems cannot always .,..

prevent collisions -there is still a risk of ac­
cidents!
- Press the accelerator pedal carefully when
accelerating on even, slippery surfaces such
as ice and snow. The drive wheels can spin
even when these control systems are instal­
led and this can affect driving stability and
increase the risk of a collision.
Switching on /off
Intelligent Technology
(D Tips
- The ABS and ASR only function correctly
when all four wheels have a sim ilar wear
condition. Different tire sizes can lead to a
reduction in engine power.
- You may hear noises when the systems de­
scribed are working.
£SC turns on automatically when you start the engine.
