General information
Breaking in
A new vehicle must be broken in for the first 1,000 mi les (1,500 km). Do not dr ive at speeds
t hat will exceed 2/3 of the max imum pe rm itted
engine speed (RPM) for the first 600 miles
(1,000 km), and avoid fu ll acceleration during
this period . You may gradually start increasing
the RPM and the speed between 600 miles
(1,000 km) and 1,000 miles (1,500 km) .
During the first hours of use, the engine has a
higher internal friction than later on when all
moving parts have settled into place with each
other.
How the vehicle is driven d uring the first 1,000
miles (1 ,500 km) a lso affects the engine quality .
Drive at moderate engine speeds after the initial
break-in per iod, part icu larly when running a cold
eng ine . Th is will reduce eng ine wear and improve
the m ileage .
Do not drive at too
low of an engine speed (RPM).
Shift down if the engine stops running "smooth­ ly". Extremely high eng ine speeds are automati­
cally reduced .
Reducing the risk of vehicle damage
@ Note
When driving on poo r roads, by cu rbs and on
s teep ramps, make su re t hat low-hang ing
compone nts such as the spo ile r and exha ust
system do not come into contact with these
or they could be damaged. This especially ap ­
plies to vehicles with low ground clearance
and veh icles that are heavily loaded.
Warming up/cooling down
Applies to: S models
By warming up/cooling down the engine carefu l­
ly, you can help red uce unnecessary stra in o n
your veh icle when driving in a sporty sty le .
64
The eng ine speed is lim ited when the engine is
cold - the full engine output is not availab le.
When the engine is at operat ing temperatu re,
the engine speed limitation moves to a h igher
RPM range. A lso, cold t ires may not have full
road gr ipping capab ilities until they have warmed
up .
Your vehicle a lso has an after-run cooling fea­
ture . However, cooling down is still important.
The eng ine and the brakes as well as the exhaust
system and the transmission become very hot
whe n driving in a spo rty style . Before you shut
t h e ve hicle off, you should cool down the vehicle
by d rivi ng a few miles at low speeds with l igh t ac ­
ce leration.
Driving through water on roads
Note the following to reduce the risk of vehicle
damag e when driving throug h water, for exampl e
on f looded roads:
- The water must not be any higher t han the bo t­
tom of the vehicle body.
- Do not dr ive faster tha n wal king speed .
& WARNING
After driving th ro ugh water or m ud, the effec ­
tiveness of the brakes may be red uce d due to
mo isture on the brake rotors and brake pads.
A few careful brake app lications shou ld dry
off the brakes and restore the full braking ef­
fect .
@ Note
-Vehicle components such as the engine,
t ransmiss ion, suspens ion or elect rical sys­
tem can be seve rely damaged by drivi ng
throug h water .
- Always switch the Start/Stop system* off
when driving through water
¢ page 70 .
(D Tips
- Determine the depth before driving throug h
water.
- Do not stop the vehicle, drive in reverse or
switch the engine off when driving through
water.

(D Tips
- Occasiona l noises when the parking brake is
set and re leased are normal and are not a
cause for concern .
- The park ing brake goes through a se lf-test
cycle at regular intervals when the veh icle is
stopped . Any noises associated w ith this are
no rmal.
- If there is a power fa ilure, the parking brake
will not set if it is released, and it will not r elease if it is

Automatic transmission
Introduction
The au tomatic transmissio n is controlled elec­
t ronically. The transmission shifts up or down au ­
tomat ic al ly depen ding on which dr ive p rogr am is
selected .
When a
moderate driving sty le is used, the
t ransm iss ion selects the mos t econom ica l dr iv ing
mode. The tra nsmission upshi fts at a lowe r RPM
and downs hifts a t a higher RPM to improve fue l
efficiency.
The transmission sw itc hes to a sporty mode after
a kick- down o r when the dr iver uses a
s porty
dri ving style
characterized by quick acce lerato r
pedal movements, heavy acceleration, frequent
c h anges in sp eed and t raveling at the maximum
speed .
I f desired, t he driver can also selec t the gears
manually (tipt ronic mode ) ¢ page 78.

t ionary ¢.&. .
A WARNING
----
-The vehicle can roll even if the ignition is
sw itched off.
- Never se lect R or P while driving, because
this increases the risk of an accident.
- Power is still transmitted to the wheels
when the engine is running at idle . To pre­
vent the vehicle from "creeping", you must keep your foot on the b rake in all selector
lever positions (except P) when the engine is
r u nning. Otherwise, this inc reases the risk
of an acc ident.
- Do not inadvertently p ress the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped if a gea r is
engaged. O therwise the ve hicle will start to
move immed iate ly, even if the parking brake
is set . This could result in a crash.

Audi active lane assist
Description
Applies to: veh icles with Audi active lane assist
Active lane assist detects lane marker lines with ­
in the limits of the system using a camera in the
windshield. If you are approaching a detected lane marker line and it appears likely that you
will leave the lane, the system will warn you with
corrective steering . You can override this steering
at any time . If you pass over a line, the steer ing
wheel will v ibrate lightly. In order for this warn­
ing vibration to occur, it must first be sw itched
on in the Infotainment system. Active lane assist
is ready for operation when the lane marker line
is detected on at least one side of the vehicle.
The system is designed for driving on express­
ways and highways and therefore only activates
at speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/
h).
Applies to: vehicles with s ide assist
If you activate a turn signal when active lane as­
sist is ready and it classifies a lane change as crit­
ical because of vehicles traveling alongside you or
approaching you, there will be noticeable correc-
Assistance systems
tive steering shortly before you leave the lane.
This will attempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies to: vehicles w it h out side ass ist
The system will not warn you before crossing a
lane marker line if you have activated the turn
s ignal. In this case, it assumes that you are
changing lanes intentionally.
Applies to: veh icles w it h adaptive cruise contro l
The corrective steering is targeted based on the
driving situation. In addition to the lane marker
lines , the system can also take into account other
objects such as guard rails . If they are detected in
close proximity to the vehicle, active lane assist
helps prevent the vehicle from driving too close
to them. There is also passing ass istance. The
system does not provide any corrective steering if
it detects that you are passing another vehicle.
A WARNING ~ -
-The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective steering.
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can help you keep the vehicle in
the lane, but it does not drive by itself. Al­
ways keep your hands on the steering
wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as during heavy braking.
- There may be cases where the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines. Correc­
tive steering can only take place on the side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.
- Other road structures or objects could possi­
b ly be identified unintentionally as lane
marker lines. As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur.
- The camera view can be restricted, for ex­
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by ra in,
snow, heavy spray or light shining into the
camera. This can result in active lane assist
not detecting the lane marker lines or de­
tecting them incorrectly .

Audi drive select (drive
settings)
Introduction
Drive select makes it possible to experience dif­
ferent types of vehicle settings in one vehicle .
The driver can se lect
Comfort , Auto and Dynamic
modes in the Inf ota inme nt system to switch be­
tween, for example, a sporty and a comfo rtable
driving mode .
I n the
Individual mode, the sett ings can be ad­
justed to your perso nal preferences. This makes
it poss ible to comb ine settings such as a spo rty
engine setting with light steering.
Description
The following systems, among other things, are
influenced by drive select:
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode , the engine and a uto­
mat ic tran smission respond more quickly or in a
mo re balanced manner to accelerator peda l
104 movements
. In the sporty dynamic mode, the
transmission shifts at higher speed ranges.
Adaptive air suspension*
The adaptive a ir suspens ion* is an electron ically­
controlled air suspension and damping system.
The adjustment depends on the driving mode se­
l ected, steering movements, the driver's braking
and acce leration, and as the road surface, vehicle
speed and load.
The vehicle ground clearance depends on the
mode selected and the speed . When you are in
the
auto mode, the highway setting is activated
when you drive above 75 mph (120 km/h) for
more than 30 seconds. The ground clearance is
i ncreased automatically if the speed drops below
44 mph (70 km/h) for more than 120 seconds .
Steering
The power steering adapts. Indirect steering that
moves easily as in comfort mode is especia lly
su ited to long drives on a highway. The dynamic
mode provides sporty, direct steering.
App lies to: vehicles wit h dynamic steer ing
The steering ratio changes based on vehicle
speed in order to maintain optimum steering ef ­
fort for the driver at all times. Th is sets the steer­
i ng to be less sensitive at h igher speeds in order
to provide improved veh icle control. At reduced
speeds, steering is more direct in o rder to keep
t h e steer ing effort as minimal as possible whe n
the driver is maneuvering the vehicle. At low and
average speeds, dynamic steering* additionally
provides more responsive steering performance.
Sport differential*
As a component of the all whee l dr ive system
(quattro)
~ page 123, the sport differe ntial dis­
tributes the driving power to the rear axle de­
pending on the situation. The distribution of
power varies from ba lanced (comfort) to sporty
(dynamic) depending on the se lected mode. The
goal is a high level of agility and ability to accel­
erate on curves. The vehicle is very responsive to
steering.
IJIJ,

a co .... N
" N .... 0 0 \.J ' Cornering light*
The cornering light adapts the high beams to the
direc tion of the curve depending on the speed .
The pivoting action and the lighting also adapt to
the mode .
Adaptive cruise control*
The behav ior when accele rating can be adjusted
from comfortab le to sporty, depen ding on the
drive select mode . Adaptive cr uise cont rol a lso
responds to the driving behavior of the ve hicle
ahead in a more conservative or sporty manner.
Engine sound*
The engine sound adapts to the cur rent mode
an d can be subtle to sporty .
(UJ) Note
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive air suspension
-Make sure the re is eno ugh clearance above
and below t he ve hicle when par king . The
height of the vehicle (ground clearance) can
change once it is pa rked due to tempe rature
fluctuations , changes to the load conditions
and c hanges to the driv ing modes .
-When transport ing the veh icle on a car car­
r ier, tra in, sh ip or by other means, only t ie
the veh icle dow n at the runni ng surface of
t h e tires, wh ich is the outer circ umference .
Secur ing the ve hicle at t he a xle co mpo­
nen ts, suspe nsio n str uts or tow ing eyes is
not permi tted be cause the p ress ure in the
