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.

5-spaad automatic transmission (Tiptronic®)*
Yo ur vehicle is equip ped with an electroni­
cally controlled five-speed automatic trans­
missi �n, upshifting and downshifting is au­
tomatiC. You can also manually select a shift
program mptronic®).
Ignition key safety interlock
After switching off the ignition, you can re­
move the ignition key only when the selec­
tor lever is in the P (Park) position. When
the ignition key is removed, the selector le­
ver will be locked in the P (Park) position.
10 4 Shift
programs
The transmission is "self adapting" and will
automa tically select the most appropri­
ate sh1ft program suited to the driving condi­
tions and driving style.
The transmission will select one of the eco­
nomy programs when you drive at a steady
speed or at gradually changing speeds with­
out heavy acceleration. This gives best fuel
efficiency, with early upshifting and delayed
down shifting.
The transmission will automatically select
the _sporty shift programs when you drive
at h1 gh er speeds, or with heavy acceleration
and frequently changing speeds. Upshifts
are then delayed to make full use of engine
P ?Wer, an9 downshifting takes place at
higher eng1ne speeds than in the economy
programs. The s
�lection o � the most suitable shift pro­
gram JS a contmuous automatic process.
Regardless of this, the driver can also make
the transmission switch to a sporty pro­
gram by pressing down the gas pedal
quickly.
This causes the transmission to shift down
into a lower gear and makes quick accelera­
tion possible (for example to pass another
vehicle). You do not need to depress the gas
pedal into the kick-down range. After the
transmission _has upsh ifted again, the origi­
n� ! program IS selected according to your
dnv1ng style.
An additional shift program allows the auto­
matic t�ansmission to select the proper gear
for uphill and downhill driving.
This prevents the transmission from shift­
ing up �n� dow � un necessarily on hills. The
transmiSSion w1ll also shift down to a lower
gear when the driver presses the brake
pedal while driving downhill. This makes
use of the braking effect of the engine with­
out the need to shift down manually.
With this function the transmission will
however, only shift down as far as 2nd gear :

Steering wheel with Tiptronic ®
The buttons on the steering wheel allow the
driver to shift gears manuall y.
The selector buttons on the steering wheel
are activated when the selector lever on the
center console is located in the manual posi­
tion (liptronic position).
10 6 Of
course, it is also possible to operate the
"liptr onic" using the selector lever on the
center console.
When "liptronic" is activated, the buttons
on the steeri ng wheel are illuminated.
Ta pping the upper part(+) of one of the two
selector buttons will cause the vehicle to
shift into a high gear. Tapping the lower part
(-) will cause the vehicle to shift down to a
lower gear. Aut
omatic Shift Lock (ASL) (8)
Yo ur Audi is equipped with an Automatic
Shift Lock (ASL}. The ASL is an electro­
mechanical device that locks the selector
lever in the P (Park) and N (Neutral) posi­
tions when the ignition is on.
Yo u must depress the brake pedal before
the selector lever can be moved out of ei­
ther position. This prevents the selector le­
ver from being moved unintentionally into a
driving position resulting in unwanted ve­
hicle movement.
