Applies to vehicles: with deluxe automatic air conditioner plusEconomical operation of the air conditioner
Economical operation of the ai r conditioner will help to
save fuel.When the air conditioner is operating in the cooling mode it
reduces engine power and increases fuel consumption. To
ensure that the cooling mode is activated only when really
necessary, please note the following points:
– Switch off the cooling mode by pressing the AC button
(LED off) if you wish to save fuel.
– You should also switch off the cooling mode by pressing
the AC button (LED off) if you open the windows or the
tilting panorama roof* while driving.
– If the vehicle has heated up after standing in the sun, open the windows and doors for a short time to cool the
vehicle.
For the sake of the environmentBy saving fuel you also reduce th e amount of pollutants emitted
from your vehicle.

Applies to vehicles: with deluxe automatic air conditioner plusAutomatic recirculation
If the outside air is polluted, an air purity sensor in the
vehicle will automatically switch on the air recirculation.To prevent fumes, etc. in the outside air from entering the interior,
we recommend that the automatic air recirculation should be
switched on at all times.
If the air purity sensor in the air conditioner system detects a certain
concentration of fumes in the outside air, the control unit will either
pass the incoming air through the pollution filter or automatically
switch on the air recirc ulation. If there is a high concentration of
pollution in the outside air, the air conditioner automatically
switches to air recirculation and cuts off the supply of air from the
outside. As soon as the level of pollution decreases, air is fed into
the vehicle from the outside again.
If the windows mist up when the automatic air recirculation is on,
press the
 button immediately. The automatic air recirculation can switch itself off in certain condi-
tions. If the outside temperature is
less than about +10 °C, the auto-
matic air recirculation will only operate for 30 seconds. If the air
conditioner is switched to the ECON mode, or if the outside temper-
ature is less than about -1 °C, the automatic air recirculation will
only operate for 15 seconds.
Applies to vehicles: with deluxe automatic air conditioner plusSynchronisation
The air conditioner settings can be synchronised for all
passengers.When the synchronisation function is on, the driver's settings are
also applied to the front passenge r or vice versa. Any subsequent
changes to the air conditioner setti ngs (except for the seat heating*)
are also applied to the other occupant.
You can still change the setting on the “synchronised” side (this will
deactivate the synchronisation function).Applies to vehicles: with diesel engineSupplementary heater– Set the Supplementary heater to auto or off .Models with a diesel engine are equipped with a supplementary
heater to help warm up the interior more quickly. At outside temper-
atures below about +5 °C the supp lementary heater is switched on
(and off) automatically when the engine is running, depending on
the coolant temperature, the temperat ure in the vehicle interior and
the temperature the heater is set to.

cally changes to the next day and the timer status is reset to off.
Each timer first has to be activated before it will switch on the auxil-
iary heating/ventilation at the time you have set.
The timers are not activated automa tically. This prevents the auxil-
iary heating/ventilation from switching on repeatedly when the
vehicle is not being used.
Note
Before activating the ti mer, make sure that the correct time and date
settings have been ente red. If the time and/or date are not correct,

o traffic. When the Audi hold assist function
is on, you don't have to keep your foot on the brake to prevent the
vehicle from accidentally rolling away. Once it detects that the
vehicle is stopped, Audi hold assist keeps the vehicle stationary. The
green symbol
 in the instrument cluste r indicates that the func-
tion is activated. You can now ta ke your foot off the brake pedal.
As soon as you drive off in the normal way, the parking brake will
automatically be released and the vehicle will start moving.
If the conditions for Audi hold assist change and the function is
switched off as a result, the parking brake will be applied automati-
cally to ensure that the vehicle is parked safely. The diode in the
button will go out when the Audi hold assist function is switched
off.
WARNING
The intelligent technology in Audi hold assist cannot defy the laws
of physics. Do not let the extra convenience provided by Audi hold
assist tempt you into taking a safety risk.•
Audi hold assist cannot keep the vehicle stationary in all condi-
tions on a gradient (e.g. if the road is slippery or icy).
•
Audi hold assist must be swit ched on again each time the
engine is started – Risk of accident!
•
Never get out of the vehicle wh en the engine is running and
Audi hold assist is switched on – Risk of accident!
•
Always ensure that the vehicle is stopped properly and safely
to avoid injury to yourself and others.Caution
Switch off the Audi hold assist function before driving the vehicle
into a car wash.
Note
•
Audi hold assist can be switched on only when the driver's door
is closed, the driver's seat belt is buckled and the engine is running.
•
Audi hold assist prevents auto matic vehicles from creeping
forwards when the brake pedal is released with the car in gear.
•
When the vehicle has been stationary for an extended period,
Audi hold assist will automatically apply the parking brake. In this
case, the green symbol
 in the instrument cluster display will
change to red

Driving
126The cruise control system allows you to drive at a constant speed of
30 km/h or higher.
A constant speed is maintained by adjusting the engine power or
braking the vehicle accordingly (while in cruise mode).
The cruise control system is set using the control lever ⇒page 125,
fig. 138. The indicator lamp lights up while the system is operating
⇒ fig. 139.
The cruise control system is automatically deactivated immediately
when you press the brake pedal.
On vehicles with a manual gearbox, the cruise control system will be
deactivated if the clutch is pressed for a long time.
WARNING
•
Always direct your full attention to the road, even when you are
using the cruise control system. It is always you who is respon-
sible for determining your speed and for keeping a safe distance
to the other vehicles on the road.
•
For safety reasons, the cruise control system must not be used
in city traffic, stop-go traffic, roads with a lot of bends or in diffi-
cult driving conditions (such as ice, fog, loose grit or gravel, heavy
rain, aquaplaning) - this could cause an accident!
•
When you take a turn-off, drive along a motorway exit lane or
pass through roadwork sections, please temporarily switch off the
cruise control system.
•
Please make sure you do not unintentionally rest your foot on
the accelerator - this will override the cruise control system which,
as a result, will not brake the vehicle.Caution
On vehicles with a manual gearbox: do not move the gear lever into
neutral without depressing the clutch when the cruise control
system is active. Otherwise the engine could rev up and be
damaged.
Note
•
On vehicles with a manual gearbox, the set speed cannot be
reached if the currently selected gear is too high or too low. Change
down to a lower gear when the engine no longer runs “smoothly” or
change up a gear to avoid overrevving the engine.
•
The brake lights come on when the system brakes the vehicle.

The selector lever is locked in the P and N positions when the igni-
tion is on. The brake pedal must be depressed before the lever can
be moved out of either of these positions. The following message
appears in the instrument display as a reminder for the driver when
the selector lever is in position P or N:
WHEN STATIONARY APPLY FOOTBRAKE WHILE SELECTING GEAR.
The selector lever lock only works if the vehicle is stationary or
driving at speeds up to 5 km/h. At higher speeds the selector lever
lock in the N position is disengaged automatically.
The selector lever lock is not engaged if the selector lever is moved
quickly through position N (e.g. when shifting from R to D). This
makes it possible, for instance, to “rock” the vehicle backwards and
forwards if it is stuck in snow or mud. The selector lever lock
engages automatically if the brake pedal is not depressed and the
lever is in position N for more than about a second.
Interlock button
The interlock button on the selector lever handle prevents the driver
from inadvertently engaging particul ar gears. Press the button in to
disengage the selector lever lock. Th e illustration shows the selector
lever positions in which the button has to be pressed, highlighted in

Safety interlock for ignition key
The key can only be withdrawn with the ignition switched off and
the selector lever in position P. When the ignition key is removed,
the selector lever is locked in position P.
Applies to vehicles: with multitronic®Kick-down feature
The kick-down feature is designed to give maximum
acceleration.When the accelerator pedal is pressed right down past the point of
resistance at full throttle, the gearbox will select a lower gear,
depending on road speed and engine speed. While you keep the
accelerator depressed the engine speed is automatically controlled
to give your vehicle maximum acceleration.
WARNING
Please note that if the road surf ace is slippery or wet, the kick-
down feature could cause the driv ing wheels to spin, which could
result in skidding.Applies to vehicles: with multitronic®Dynamic gear control program (DCP)
The multitronic
® gearbox is controlled electronically.
The vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled gearbox.
The gear ratios are selected automatically according to preset gear-
shift programmes.
When you drive at moderate speeds the gearbox will select the most
economical shift programme. It will then change up early and delay
the downshifts to give better fuel economy.
If you drive at higher speeds with heavy acceleration, if you open the
throttle quickly, or if you use the kick-down or the car's maximum
speed, the gearbox will automaticall y select the more “sporty” shift
programmes.
The gearbox is self-adapting, and continuously selects the most
suitable shift programme. At the same time, the driver can also
make the gearbox switch to a more "sporty" programme by pressing
