driving 
Your driving style greatly influences the amount 
of fuel and energy consumed, the environmental 
impact, and the wear on the engine, brakes, and 
tires. Note the following information for efficient 
and environmentally-conscious driving: 
— Turn off electrical equipment that is not need- 
ed, for example seat heating”. 
— Anticipate upcoming traffic situations while 
driving to avoid unnecessary acceleration and 
braking. 
— Avoid driving at high speeds. 
— Avoid adding extra weight to the vehicle if pos- 
sible, for example by not leaving roof racks or 
bike racks installed when they are not needed. 
— Make sure the tire pressure is correct. 
— Have maintenance performed regularly on the 
vehicle. 
— Do not drive with winter tires during the summ- 
er. 
— Do not let the engine run while the vehicle 
parked. 
— Use the Start/Stop system. 
— Utilize the engine braking effect. 
— Avoid driving short distances when possible. 
@ Tips 
The amount of noise produced by the vehicle 
can increase significantly when driving with a 
sporty style. Show respect to others around 
you  and the environment with the way you op- 
erate your vehicle, especially at night. 
Energy management 
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent ener- 
gy management system for distributing electrici- 
ty. This significantly improves the starting ability 
and increases the vehicle battery life. 
@) Tips 
— If you drive short distances frequently, the 
vehicle battery may not charge enough 
while driving. As a result, convenience func- 
tions for electrical equipment may be tem- 
porarily unavailable. 
— The vehicle battery will gradually drain if 
the vehicle is not driven for long periods of 
time, or if electrical equipment is used 
when the engine is not running. To ensure 
that the vehicle can still be started, the 
electrical equipment will be limited or 
switched off.

Start/Stop system 
Applies to: vehicles with Start/Stop system 
The Start/Stop system can help increase fuel 
economy and reduce CO2 emissions. 
In Start/Stop mode, the engine shuts off auto- 
matically when stopped, for example at a traffic 
light. The ignition and important assist systems 
such as power steering and the brake booster will 
remain available during the Stop phase. The en- 
gine will restart automatically when needed. 
The Start/Stop system is automatically activated 
once the ignition is switched on. >

If you switch the system off during a Stop phase, 
the engine will start again automatically. 
Basic requirements 
—The driver's door and hood must be closed. 
—"P","N", or "D" must be engaged. 
— The steering wheel must not be turned far in ei- 
ther direction. 
— The vehicle must have driven  faster than 2 mph 
(3 km/h) since the last time it stopped. 
— The vehicle is not in trailer mode. 
@) Note 
Always switch the Start/Stop system off when 
driving through water > page 100. 
G) Tips 
— Depending on the driving situation, the en- 
gine may already stop when coasting before 
the vehicle has come to a complete stop )). 
— If you select the "D" position after shifting 
into reverse, the vehicle must be driven fast- 
er than 6 mph (10 km/h) in order for the

G) Tips 
— Press the brake pedal during a Stop phase 
to keep the vehicle from rolling. 
— The ignition will turn off if you press the 
START ENGINE STOP] button during a Stop 
phase. 
— If you leave the vehicle briefly during a Stop 
phase, the driver's door must be closed and 
the safety belt buckled for the engine to be 
able to restart. 
  
      
— You can control if the engine will stop or not 
by reducing or increasing the amount of 
force  you use to press the brake pedal. For 
example, if you only lightly press on the 
brake pedal in stop-and-go traffic or when 
turning, the engine will not switch off when 
the vehicle is stationary. If you press the 
brake pedal harder, the engine will switch 
off. 
Starting and stopping the engine automat- 
ire] AY 
Applies to: vehicles with Start/Stop system 
The system checks if certain conditions are met 
before and during the Stop phase, and deter- 
mines if the engine stops and how long it re- 
mains stopped. For example, if power usage is 
high, the engine will not be stopped. Along with 
other conditions, the following factors influence 
the automatic engine start or stop: 
— Environmental conditions (slopes, inclines, ele- 
vation, temperature) 
— Battery  (charge status, temperature, power us- 
age) 
— Engine temperature 
— Assist systems 
— Driving behavior 
Depending on the engine, the indicator light 
may appear if the engine is not stopped.

Special driving situations 
Driving uphill and downhill 
When driving uphill, downhill, or at high alti- 
tudes, note the following information: 
— Drive slowly and carefully. 
— Do not try to turn around if you cannot safely 
drive on an incline or hill. Instead, drive in re- 
verse. 
— When driving down hills, you can activate the 
hill descent control if you press the brake pedal 
while driving in “D” gear. The automatic trans- 
mission will select a gear suitable for driving 
down the hill and will attempt to maintain the 
speed at which the vehicle was traveling at the 
time the brake  pedal was pressed. Press the 
brake pedal if necessary. The hill descent con- 
104 
trol  will switch off once the hill levels out or 
you press the accelerator pedal. 
— Utilize the engine braking effect when driving 
downhill by selecting the “S” driving program 
=> page 95. This especially applies when towing 
a trailer. This reduces the load on the brakes. 
— Brake in intervals and do not press the brake 
pedal continuously. 
— Use the hill hold assist > page 105. 
  
A WARNING 
— Only drive on inclines that your vehicle is de- 
signed to handle. Do not exceed the hill 
climbing ability of your vehicle. Your vehicle 
could tip or slide. 
— Do not drive at an angle on steep inclines 
and hills. If your vehicle is about to tip, you 
must immediately start steering in the di- 
rection of the downward slope to reduce the 
risk  of an accident. 
— Always be ready to brake when using the hill 
descent control function. 
Ooi LEAT) 
Applies to: allroad 
      
Your vehicle is not an offroad vehicle. Note the 
following points when driving offroad: 
— Drive slowly and carefully. 
—To reduce the risk  of underbody damage, pay 
attention to the vehicle's ground clearance and 
drive across raised areas of the ground with the 
wheels on one side of the vehicle, instead of al- 
lowing the center of the vehicle to pass over the 
raised areas. 
—To reduce the risk  of becoming stuck, drive 
through sandy or swampy areas at a steady 
speed and without stopping, if possible. 
If necessary, use the following functions: 
— Audi drive select* mode offroad > page 106 
— Hill descent assist* > page 105

Driving dynamic 
  
All wheel drive (quattro) 
Applies to: vehicles with all wheel drive 
The all-wheel drive system distributes the driving 
power variably to the front and rear  axle to im- 
prove the driving characteristics. It works togeth- 
er with selective wheel torque control, which can 
activate when driving through curves 
=> page 109. 
Applies to: vehicles with quattro ultra: If the driv- 
ing situation does not require all wheel drive, 
then the rear section of the drivetrain will decou- 
ple to save fuel. The system constantly deter- 
mines and anticipates if all wheel drive is needed. 
This allows the rear drivetrain to recouple shortly 
before it is needed. 
The all-wheel drive system is designed for high 
engine power. Your vehicle is exceptionally pow- 
erful and has excellent driving characteristics 
both under normal driving conditions and on 
snow and ice. Always read and follow safety pre- 
cautions > A. 
  
ZX WARNING 
— Even in vehicles with all wheel drive, you 
should adapt your driving style to the cur- 
rent road and traffic conditions to reduce 
the risk of an accident. 
— The braking ability of your vehicle is limited 
to the traction of the wheels. In this way, it 
is not different from a two wheel drive  vehi- 
cle. Do not drive too fast because this in- 
creases the risk of an accident. 
— Note that on wet streets, the front wheels 
can “hydroplane’” if driving at speeds that 
are too high. Unlike front wheel drive 
vehicles, the engine RPM does not increase 
suddenly when the vehicle begins hydro- 
planing. Adapt your speed to the road condi- 
tions to reduce the risk of an accident. 
Sport differential 
Applies to: vehicles with sport differential 
      
The  sport differential distributes the drive power 
to the rear axle based on the situation. The goal 
108 
is  a high level of agility and ability to accelerate 
on curves. The vehicle is very responsive to steer- 
ing. The settings depend on the selected Audi 
drive select* mode.

ized Audi Service Facility if the sport differen- 
tial is faulty or malfunctioning. The repair 
must be performed by trained personnel us- 
ing the correct oil in order to ensure safety.

road and traffic conditions. Do not let the in- 
creased safety provided tempt you into  tak- 
ing risks. This could increase your risk  of a 
collision. 
— Please note the risk of a collision increases 
when driving fast, especially through curves 
and on slippery or wet roads, and when driv- 
ing too close to objects ahead. There is still 
a risk of accidents because the ESC and its 
integrated systems cannot always prevent 
collisions. 
— Accelerate carefully when driving on 
smooth, slippery surfaces such as ice and 
snow. The drive wheels can spin even when 
these control systems are installed and this 
can affect driving stability and increase the 
risk of a collision. 
      
G) Tips 
— The ABS and ASR only function correctly 
when all four wheels have a similar wear 
condition. Different tire sizes can lead toa 
reduction in engine power. 
— You may hear noises when the systems de- 
scribed are working. 
The 0 button for controlling the ESC is located 
in the center console, in front of the selector lev- 
er. 
The  ESC is automatically switched on when the 
ignition is switched on. It may make sense in 
some situations to limit the ESC so that the 
wheels can spin: 
— Rocking the vehicle to free it when it is stuck 
— Driving in deep snow, on unpaved ground, or 
with snow chains 
— Applies to: allroad: Driving downhill while brak- 
ing on loose ground 
— Applies to: allroad: Driving with axle articula- 
tion 
Limiting ESC (Sport/Offroad mode) 
—To limit the ESC, press the 20" button briefly. 
The B indicator light turns on. 
110 
— To completely reactivate the ESC  stabilization 
function, press the button again. The  indicator 
light turns off. 
When ESC is limited, allroad models switch to 
Offroad mode. All other model versions switch to 
Sport mode. Sport mode is particularly suited for 
driving on an even road surface. Offroad mode is 
designed for uneven terrain or loose ground. 
Switching off ESC 
— To switch off the ESC, press and hold the Sor 
button for more than three seconds. The B 
and Ea indicator lights turn on. 
— To completely reactivate the ESC  stabilization 
function, press the button again. The  indicator 
lights turn off. 
  
Z\ WARNING 
— When the ESC is switched off or limited, 
there will be no vehicle stabilization or it will 
be limited. The driving wheels could spin 
and the vehicle could swerve, especially on 
slick or slippery road surfaces, which in- 
creases the risk of an accident. 
— Because of the increased risk of an accident, 
only drive with the ESC switched off or limit- 
ed when it is necessary. Reactivate the ESC 
as soon as possible. 
@ Tips 
— If the ESC is limited, switched off, or mal- 
functioning, systems with an automatic 
braking intervention function may not be 
fully available. 
— If malfunctions occur in other systems or 
certain driver  assist systems are active, the 
ESC must be switched on by the system. The 
ESC 
may switch on automatically and can- 
not be operated with the button.

and road conditions. If necessary, apply the 
brakes and reduce the selected speed to be 
maintained in the Adjustment to curves 
along route setting to reduce the risk of an 
  
accident. 
    
G) Tips 
— Predictive control can exceed or drop below 
the maximum permitted speed. The driver 
is responsible for adhering to the permitted 
speed limit. 
— The traffic signs on the road always take pri- 
ority over the display. The driver is always 
responsible for adhering to the regulations 
applicable in the country where the vehicle 
is being operated. 
— Ifa speed limit is detected, the marking @ 
= page 128 of the set speed limit will be ad- 
justed even if Audi adaptive cruise control is 
not actively regulating. 
— Control by the system depends on which 
adaptive cruise control driving program is 
set or on the selected Audi drive select* 
mode. 
— After switching on the ignition and first 
driving onto a freeway or similar road with- 
out a speed limit, the system will regulate 
the speed to 80 mph (130 km/h)). Then 
the system adjusts to the last speed set by 
the driver. 
— There is no adaptation to speed limits when 
driving through highway interchanges and 
when driving on or off the expressway. 
— The system can fail to provide control or the 
control may be faulty if the values from the 
camera-based traffic sign recognition” are 
incorrect or the navigation system map data 
is outdated. 
— When route guidance is switched on, the 
system adapts to the route provided by the 
navigation system. Driving without route 
guidance or leaving a route can result in 
faulty control. 
  
D_ In certain countries 
Audi adaptive cruise 
control 
General information 
Applies to: vehicles with  Audi adaptive cruise control 
Depending on vehicle equipment, Audi adaptive 
cruise control may consist of the following func- 
tions: 
Within the limits of the system, the adaptive 
speed 
and distance control assists the driver in 
controlling the speed and the set distance to the 
vehicle driving ahead. If the system detects a ve- 
hicle driving ahead, the adaptive cruise control 
can brake  and accelerate your vehicle within the 
limits of the system. On open roads with no traf- 
fic, it functions like a cruise control system. The 
stored speed is maintained. When approaching a 
vehicle driving ahead, the adaptive cruise control 
system automatically brakes to match that vehi- 
cle's speed and then maintains the set distance 
as much as possible. As soon as the system does 
not detect a vehicle driving ahead, adaptive 
cruise control accelerates up to the stored speed. 
In stop-and-go traffic, the vehicle may brake to a 
full stop and then may also start driving again 
automatically under certain conditions. 
Applies to: vehicles with traffic jam assist: In 
traffic jams or in stop-and-go traffic, the traffic 
jam assist can assist the driver to stay within the 
lane detected by the system > page 134. 
Applies to: vehicles with efficiency assist: Predic- 
tive control can adjust the set speed based on 
traffic and road conditions > page 126. 
  
ZA WARNING 
Follow the safety precautions and note the 
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and 
cameras > page 114.

— If you switch the ignition or the adaptive 
cruise control system off, the set speed is 
erased for safety reasons. 
— When adaptive cruise control is switched 
on, the ESC and ASR automatically switch 
on. 
— The system cannot be switched off or it may 
be interrupted if the road exceeds the maxi- 
mum possible grade for safe operation. 
Setting the distance 
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control 
  
B4M-0234 
  
      
Fig. 117 Operating lever: setting the distance 
If you adjust the speed, you must also change the 
time gap to the vehicle driving ahead. The higher 
the speed, the greater the distance that is need- 
ed. 
> Tap the rocker switch to display the distance 
that is currently set. 
> To increase or decrease the distance in incre- 
ments, tap  the switch again toward @) or G). 
The newly-set distance will be shown briefly, for 
example with the indicator light. In the  Driv- 
er assistance display, a graphic display is shown 
instead of the indicator lights > page 128, 
fig. 114. The display matches the functions of 
the indicator lights. 
When approaching a vehicle driving ahead, the 
adaptive cruise control system brakes to match 
that vehicle's speed and then adjusts to the set 
distance. If the vehicle driving ahead accelerates, 
then the adaptive cruise control will accelerate 
up to the speed that you have set. 
The following distances can be set: 
  
Meaning 
    
The time between is approximately 1 
eee second. This setting corresponds toa 
= distance of approximately 92 feet (28 
m) when traveling at 62 mph (100 
km/h). 
The time between is approximately 1.3 
seconds. This setting corresponds toa 
distance of approximately 118 feet (36 
m) when traveling at 62 mph (100 
km/h). 
The time between is approximately 1.8 
seconds. This setting meets the general 
recommendation of “half the speed 
shown on the speedometer”. This cor- 
responds to a distance of approximate- 
ly 164 feet (SO m) when traveling at 
62 mph (100 km/h). 
The time between is approximately 2.4 
seconds. This setting corresponds to a 
distance of approximately 219 feet 
(67 m) when traveling at 62 mph (100 
km/h). 
The time between is approximately 3.6 
seconds. This setting corresponds toa 
distance of approximately 328 feet 
(100 m) when traveling at 62 mph (100 
km/h).
