Parking
Various rules apply to prevent the parked veÂ
hicle from rolling away accidentally.
P a rking
.. Stop the vehicle with the foot brake .
.. Pu ll the switch <®l to apply the park ing
brake.
.. Se lect the
P se lector lever position
~ page 101.
• Turn the eng ine off ~.&.
In addition on incline s and grade s
.. Turn the steering wheel so that your vehicle
will roll against the curb in case it should
start to move .
A WARNING
-When you leave your veh icle - even if onÂ
ly b rief ly - always take the ignition key
with you. This app lies par ticu la rly when
children remain in the veh icle . Otherw ise
the ch ildren could start the engine, re Â
lease the parking brake or ope rate e lecÂ
trical equipment (e.g. power windows) .
There is the risk of an accident .
- When the vehicle is locked, no one - parÂ
t icu larly not ch ildren should remain in
the vehicle. Locked doors make it more
difficult for emergency workers to get inÂ
to the vehicle -putt ing lives at risk .
Starting from rest
The starting assis t function ensures tha t the
parking brake is released automatically upon
starting .
Stopping and appl ying park ing br ake
.. Pull the switch(®) to apply the parking
brake.
Starting and automatically releasing the par king brake
.. When you start to drive as usua l, the parkÂ
ing brake is automatically re leased and your
vehicle begins to move. When stopping at a traffic signal or stopping
in city t raffic, the parking brake can be apÂ
plied . T he vehicle does not have to be he ld
with the footbrake . The parking brake elimi Â
nates the tendency to creep w ith a dr ive range
engaged . As soon as you d rive off as usual,
the pa rking brake is released automat ically
and the vehicle starts to move .
Starting on slopes
When starting on inclines, the starting assist
prevents the vehicle from u nintent ionally rollÂ
ing back . The braking force of the parking
brake is not released until suff ic ient driving
force has been built up at the wheels .
(D Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is re Â
leased automatically o nly when the d rivÂ
er's safety belt is engaged in the buckle.
Starting off with a trailer
To prevent rolling back unintentionally on an
incline, do the following:
.. Keep the sw itch <®l pulled and depress the
accelerator. The parking brake stays applied
and prevents the vehicle from roll ing backÂ
ward .
.. You can release the switch
<®l once you are
sure that you are developing enoug h forÂ
ward momentum at the whee ls as you deÂ
press the acce lerator .
Depend ing on the we ight of the rig (vehi cle
and t railer) and the severity of the incline, yo u
may ro ll backwards as yo u start . You can pre Â
vent rolling backwards by holding the parking
brake switch <®l pulled out and accelerating -
just as you wou ld when starting on a hill with
a conventiona l hand brake.

A WARNING
-- Always pay attention to traffic even when
the cruise control is switched on. You are always responsible for your speed and
the distance between your vehicle and
other veh icles.
- For safety reasons, the cruise contro l
should not be used in the city, in stopÂ
and-go traffic , on twisting roads and
when road condit ions are poor (such as
ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydroÂ
p laning) - risk of accident.
- Turn off the cruise control temporarily
when entering turn lanes, highway exit
lanes or in construction zones.
- Please note that inadvertently "resting"
your foot on the accelerator pedal causes the cruise control not to brake. This is
because the cruise control is overridden
by the driver's acceleration.
- If a brake system malfunction such as
overheating occurs when the cruise conÂ
trol system is switched on, the braking
function in the system may be switched

Adaptive cruise control
and braking guard
Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive cruise co ntrol
The adaptive cruise control system assists the
driver by regulating vehicle speed and helping
to maintain a set distance to the vehicle
ahead, within the limits of the system . If the
system detects a moving vehicle up ahead,
adaptive cruise control can brake and then acÂ
celerate your vehicle . This helps to make driv Â
ing more comfortable both on long highway
stretches and in stop -and-go traffic.
Aud i braking guard can warn you about an imÂ
pending collision with a vehicle up ahead that
is slower or has slowed down and start slowÂ
ing your vehicle down with the brakes
<::> page 84.
Adaptive cruise control and Audi braking
guard have technical limitations that you
must know, so please read this section careÂ
fully, understand how the system works and
use them properly at all times.

things or coated with dirt, insects, snow or ice
that will interfere with the Adaptive cruise
control system and Audi braking guard . ReÂ
move snow with a hand brush and remove ice with a de-icing spray that does not contain
solvents.
The function of the Adaptive cruise control
system and Audi braking guard is limited unÂ
der some conditions.
- Objects can only be detected when they are
within sensor range
c::> page 80, fig. 80.
- The system has a limited ability to detect
objects that are a short d istance ahead, off
to the side of your vehicle or moving into
your lane from the front or moves into your
lane from the side.
-When driving through curves
r=;>page 79.
- Some kinds of vehicles are hard to detect;
for examp le motorcycles, vehicles with high
ground clearance or overhanging loads may
be detected when it is too late or they may
not be detected at all.
- Stationary objects
c::> page 79 .
A WARNING
Improper use of the adaptive cruise conÂ
trol can cause collisions, other accidents
and serious personal injury. -
-Never let the comfort and convenience
that adaptive cruise control and Audi
braking guard offer distract you from the
need to be alert to traffic conditions and
the need to remain in full control of your
vehicle at all times,
- Always remember that the adaptive
cru ise control and Audi braking guard
have lim its -they will not slow the vehiÂ
cle down or maintain the set distance
when you drive towards an obstacle or
something on or near the road that is not
moving, such as vehicles stopped in a
traffic jam, a stalled or disabled vehicle.
If registered by the radar sensors, vehiÂ
cles or obstacles that are not moving can
trigger a collision warning and if conÂ
firmed by the video camera, an acute col lision warning.
- Always remember that the adaptive
cruise control cannot detect a vehicle
that is driving towards you in your traffic
lane and that it cannot detect narrow

Adaptive cruise control
Description
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive cruise control
Fig . 80 Detection range
What can adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cruise control system uses video,
radar and ultrasound. Moving vehicle ahead
can be recognized up to about 650 feet (200 m) away.
On open roads with no traffic, adaptive cruise
control works like a regu lar cruise control sysÂ
tem. The stored speed is maintained. When
approaching a moving vehicle detected up
ahead, the adapt ive cruise control system auÂ
tomatically slows down to match that vehiÂ
cle's speed and then ma intains the distance
that the driver previously stored. As soon as
the system does not detect a vehicle up
ahead, adaptive cruise control acce lerates
back up to the stored speed.
I n stop-and-go traffic, adaptive cruise control
can brake unt il the vehicle stops i f this is posÂ
sible with in the systems' limits and capabiliÂ
ties. ACC will not make an emergency stop.
Pull the lever<=>
page 80, fig. 81 towards
you into position @to reactivate ACC, the veÂ
hicle will move forward when the vehicle in
front of you starts moving aga in. You can also
depress the accelerator to move forwa rd
again <=>
page 81 .
Which functions can be controlled?
When you switc h adaptive cruis e control on,
you can set the current speed as the "control
speed" <=>
page 80, Switching on and off.
When driving, you can stop cruise contro l
<=>

Automatic Transmission
multitronic ®
Introduction
Appl ies to vehicles: with multitr oni c
Your veh icle is equipped with an electronically
controlled,
continuously variable transmisÂ
sion
(multitronic ®). In contrast to convention Â
al automatic transmi ssions using shifting opÂ
erations, the transmission ratio in the continÂ
uously variab le transmission is changed con Â
tinuously. This optimizes the comfort level
and conserves fuel.
The gear ratio in the transmission is selected
(upshift and downshift) completely automatiÂ
cally as a function of the defined driving proÂ
grams.
If desired, the driver can also select the gears
manually (tiptronic mode).
Instead of the torque converter in conventionÂ
al automatic transmissions, your multitronic ®
transmission uses a multidisk clutch for powÂ
er transmission . Therefore, the "creep behavÂ
ior" of the veh icle dur ing idling when tempoÂ
rarily stopped in selecto r lever pos it ion 0/S or
R is less pronounced.
