stop start AUDI A3 SPORTBACK E-TRON 2016 Owners Manual

Audi engineering doesn’t stop with the A3 Sportback e-tron®. It continues its innovative ways with the Audi e-tron
charging system, which is included with the vehicle.1 This elegantly designed charging station fully charges your
batter y at home in as little as 2 hours and 15 minutes using a 240-volt source.2 Taking a road trip? Just remove the
mobile portion of the charger and recharge wherever there’s an available outlet. You’ll also have the advantage
of a dedicated smartphone app that can check charging levels, precondition the batter y for optimum performance
based on climate and even start the vehicle remotely, which turns on the climate control to heat or cool the cabin,
for the ultimate in convenience.
The unique Audi charging system, including
removable mobile charger, is housed in an
attractive, lockable wall cabinet. And with the
centered position of the charging port hidden
behind the Audi four rings emblem, charging
the A3 e-tron is easy from almost anywhere
you choose to install your charging system.
If only humans could
recharge as fast.
Charging ______
240-volt charging
Charging the A3 e-tr on from a 240-volt outlet
replenishes the battery faster than using a
120-volt source, taking around 2 hours and
15 minutes to fully recharge a depleted bat -
tery. This will be the typical charging voltage
used in most cases.

120-volt charging
Found in all homes and businesses, this is
the most common type of power outlet.
Recharging the A3 e-tron from this source
takes approximately 8 hours and is ideal
for occasional or emergency charging if
240

t charging is not available.
Smartphone app

Conveniently manage a host of functions

,
from remote start (a first for Audi), to charge
timing, to battery status and range, all with a
few taps on your compatible smartphone.

We found the perfect partner.
A car this revolutionar

y requires a total
rethink of everything around it. In this case,
we partnered with Bosch® (one of the most
innovative automotive suppliers in the world)
to provide a seamless charger installation
experience. The process, which was codevel-
oped by Audi and Bosch®, makes installation
of the Audi charging system as enjoyable as
the driving experience itself.

Audi energy — sustainable power sources and a lower carbon footprint
Audi is getting serious about sustainability. Case in point: Audi energy.
3 It starts with what the car stands for, then goes
further on your behalf, so you don’t have to. We teamed with 3Degrees®, the leading carbon offset provider, to select and
support meaningful projects that reduce emissions and improve air quality for everyone.
We chose two types and locations of projects that together maximize the positive impact Audi energy and your e-tron can
make. Because Audi is a global car company and greenhouse gas emissions are not constrained by borders, the carbon offset
projects Audi energy supports reflect both a local and global focus. Audi energy includes carbon offsets to cover the vehicle’s
production, including the battery, distribution to dealers, and driving through the warranty period of 50,000 miles.

SunPower leads the charge with:
• Record-setting solar efficiency
• Industry-leading longevity
• One-stop custom design and installation
• Monthly electric bill savings
• Dedicated SunPower/Audi sales team
•
Exclusive access to new batter

y storage solution
Solar panels on par with Audi sophistication and refinement.
We deliver excellence throughout your entire Audi experience, so it should come as no surprise that we have collaborated
with a company that delivers the same level of excellence in solar power—SunPower. Now, qualified
2 Audi owners can not only
enhance the energy efficiency of their A3 e-tron, but also dramatically lower their home energy bills. Of course, fueling your
A3 e-tron straight from the sun is just the start. All qualified
2 Audi owners can receive dedicated access to the most innovative
of SunPower technology, like the 21.5% efficient X-Series Solar Panels (the highest-efficiency panels on the market4), which
produce 70 percent more energy than conventional panels,5 while offering stunning aesthetics and unmatched reliability.6 The
Audi SunPower partnership is a rare opportunity to help secure a healthier planet. Wildlife Works
This project is a part of the UN-REDD (United Nations Programme on Reducing
Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) program, designed
to protect highly threatened forests that are critical carbon sinks—natural
absorption and storage systems of carbon dioxide. Focusing on the Kasigau
community in Kenya, who previously destroyed the forest ecosystem for
survival, and using a holistic, innovative approach, Wildlife Works targets the
root cause of the problem and ties forest preservation to improved livelihoods.
US Landfill Gas
Methane, a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide, is
created as waste decomposes. Many landfills, however, are not required to
limit or capture this gas, which is instead released into the atmosphere.
Landfill Gas Capture projects either destroy the methane before it is
released or use it to make electricity. Either of these steps reduces green-
house gas emissions and preserves air quality for the health and benefit of
surrounding communities.
