Mir rors
Adjust the outside and inside mi rrors before
driving and after adjusting your seat to prop­
er driving position. It is im porta nt for safe
driving that you have good vision to the rear.
Inside dey-night mirror
Manual anti-glare adjustment
Yo u can adjust the day -night mirror from
clear daylight visibility to non-glare visibility
at night by moving the lever at the bottom
of the mirror.
To ensure the best possible antiillare ef­
fect, the lever on the lower edge of the mir­
ror should be pointing forwards when the
basic setting is made.
Daylight driving -lever to front
Night driving -lever to rear.
72 Automatic
anti-glare adjustment•
When the ignition is switc hed on the interior
mirror will darken automatically depending
on the amount of light shinin g into the car
from the rear (e. g. headlights).
When you move the selector lever I gear­
shift lever into Reverse R or when you
switch the interior lights on, the inside mir­
ror will return to its original position (dim­
ming effect off).
The mirror will return to the original position
(i. e. not anti-dazzle) when the selector lever
I gearshift lever is moved to position R. Outside
mirrors
Adjust the outside mirrors so that the side
of your own vehicle can just be seen. This
setting ensures the best possible field of
view, and in addition it serves as an instant
check on the mirror setti ng.
Self-d imming day I night outside
mirrors
The dimming of the outside mirrors is con­
trolled by the inside day I night mirror.
The dimming of the outside mirrors works
only properly and without any interference,
if the rear window shade* is rolled up and I
or the light shining on the inside mirror is not
blocked by other objects.

Retrieving using the
memory buttons
• With the passenger's door open, de­
press and release the desired memory but­
ton. The seat will automatically adjust to the
stored position.
• If the door has been closed, you must
then depress and hold the memory button
until the seat has reached its stored posi­
tion.
Note
You can not reca ll the stored seat adjust­
ment for the front passenger's seat using
the remote control in the master key.
84 Emergency
Off
In an emergency, you can interrupt
any retrieval procedure by
• pressing the '"STOP'" button (see il­
lustration on page 81 and 83). or
• tapping one of the memory buttons.
Pushing the"ON/OFF"button to the OFF
position only switches off the Memory. The
stored settings will not be erased.
It's a good idea to turn the Memory off if the
vehicle is going to be used temporarily by a
driver whose driving position will not be
memorized.
The advantage is that the personal settings
that have already been memorized will re­
main intact and will not change each time
the vehicle is unlocked using the remote
control. Note
The memory function is switched off when
the STOP button is pressed. The word
''OFF" lights up if the headlights are
switched on. However, the programmed
seat, outside mirrors and steering wheel
positions remain stored in the memory.

Electronic
power control• EPC
The indicator light will come on when the
ignition is switc hed on. It should go out after
the engine starts. If
the engine management system experi­
ence trouble while you are on the road, the
indicator light will come on to alert you. The
electronic engine power control system will
automatically switch to the failure-mode
program. You will experience some reduc­
tion in engine power. Drive the vehicle to an
authoriz ed Audi Dealer as soon as possible. Side
marker lights I ;o�
head lights
The light comes on when the side marker
lights or head lights are switched on with
the ignition on.
Self-lev eling
suspension
The warning light will come on when you
switch on the ignition, and will then go out
after a few seconds just as a test to make
sure the light is working properly.
If the warning light blinks after the function
test, this means that the vehicle's ride
height has dropped down. It's normal for
this happen, for example, after the vehicle
has been parked for some time.
The warning light will go off after the self­
leveling suspension has re-adjusted the ve­
hicle ride height. After this has taken place,
the vehicle will now be at its original ground
clearance regardless of cargo load.
Do not drive off until the warn ing light stops
blinking, otherwise you could damage low­
mounted parts on the rear suspension if you
drive over uneven road surfaces.

CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMEN T--------------------
If the warning light is flashing, it can also
mean that the vehicle is riding ''too high"
(above the highest level). Once again, do
not drive off until the warning light stops
flashing.
If the .warning light stays on continuous ly,
there 1s a problem with the ride height ad­
JUStment system. The light will also come
on continuously if the vehicle is on an ex­
treme incline.
Tro uble in the ESP may also cause the warn­
ing light to remain on continuously.
A system failure can cause the vehicle to
have too little or too much ground clear­
ance. Drive very carefully and slowly to your
nearest authorized Audi dealer and have the
fault corrected.
See page 153 for additional information.
12 4 Electronic Stability
Program {ESP)
The indicator light lights up when the igni­
tion is turned on, and it must go out after
about 2 seconds.
When the ESP system is in control mode,
this indicator light will flash while the ve­
hicle is being operated.
When you start the engine, the ESP
may shut off for safety reasons. The indica­
tor light also turns on to indicate this statu s.
If this should happen, you can reactivate the
ESP by turning the ignition off and then on
� gain. This indicator light will go out, indicat­
Ing that the system is once again operating
properly.
If the system is off or is malfunctioning, the
indi cator light will remain on.
Since the ESP system works together with
the ABS system, the ESP indicator light will
also come on if the ABS stops operating. Electronic

�
When you turn on the ignition, the vehicle
key data are automatically scanned. The in­
dicator light will come on briefly, indicating
that the data verification procedure has
been acknowledged.
If a non-coded vehicle key was used (for ex­
ample a duplic ate key), the control light
goes to a continuous flashing mode. If this
happens, the vehicle cannot be started. See
