roof AUDI A3 SPORTBACK E-TRON 2016 Owners Manual

Audi energy ______
Diminishes the footprint.
Not the range.

We didn’t set out to just revolutionize transportation—we are also pioneering a
range of ser vices for the e-tron® that defines automotive leadership for drivers who
understand a car is more than just that. Through a lower carbon footprint and a new
solar partnership, these programs usher in practicality and design with a purpose.
There’s more to the evolution of the automotive landscape than just a lot of
advanced engineering. It takes a holistic approach that is bold and effective.
That means things like helping offset carbon output, from the manufac -
turing and assembly of the A3 Sportback e-tron at the plant to the solar
partnerships that help qualified owners realize the benefits of generating
their own, clean, renewable energy.
2 It’s all meant to help make a large
impact from your roof top to half way around the world.

1 EPA estimates not available at time of printing. See www.fueleconomy.gov for updated information. Actual mileage and
r ange will vary and depend on several factors, including driving and charging habits, weather and temperature, battery
age and vehicle condition. Battery capacity decreases with time and use. See owner’s manual for details.

products available for purchase for qualified customers. A qualified owner is someone with an Audi vehicle registered
in their name. See participating dealer for details.
3 The number of carbon offsets provided thr

ough the program is
based on assumptions and estimates regarding emissions occurring from the manufacture, distribution and use of the
Audi A3 e-tron through the first 50,000 miles. As such, the offsets provided may not fully account for actual carbon
emissions of the vehicle due to variations in electrical grid, source of\
electricity, vehicle maintenance and condition, actual
driving habits and behavior, and other variables.
