CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT---------------------
Pedals
The movement of the pedals must
never be obstructed by a floor mat
or any other object.
• In case one of the two brake circuits fails,
incr eased brake pedal travel is required to
bring the vehicle to a full stop.
• You should always be able to depress the
accelerator and the clutch pedals all the way
down to the floor.
• All pedals must be able to return to their
original position unhindered.
Only use floor mats which leave the pedal
area free and can be secured with floor mat
faste ners.
�W ARNING
Never place any objects in the area
of the pedals. In case of sudden
braking or an accident. an object
could interfere with pedal
function. You would not be able to
brake or accelerate.

Floor mats. floor mat fasteners
Floor mats are factory installed in your ve­
hicle.
Floor mat fasteners are installed in the foot­
wells of the front and rear* seats.
Floor mats used in your vehicle must be at­
tached to these fasteners (see illustration).
This will prevent the floor mats from sliding
into positions that could interfere with the
safe operation of your vehicle. Suitable Audi
floor mats can be obtained
from an auth orized Audi Dealer.
�W ARNING
Do not install additional floor mats
on top of existing floor mats be­
cause you will not be able to fasten
them down.
If you remove the floor mats for
cleaning. be sure to fasten them
again securely when reinstalling.

Parking
brake lever
The parking brake lever is located between
the front seats.
• To set the parking brake, pull the lever _up
until strong resistance is felt. The park1ng
brake must be pulled up all the way so that
the vehicle cannot be moved. When the
ignition is on, the brake waming light will
light up. •
Depress brake pedal and hold while re­
leasing parking brake. To release the park­
ing brake, pull the lever slightly up, depress
the release button (arrow), and then push
the lever all the way down.
When the parking brake is fully released,
the brake warning light will go out.
�W ARNING
• Always release the parking
brake fully. A partially engaged
brake will overheat the rear
brakes. reduc:e their effective­
ness and cause excessive wear.
This • could lead to brake failure
and an ac:c:ident.
• Always set the parking brake
when parking your vehicle.
• Move the selector
lever to .. p.,. CONT
ROLS AND EQUIPMENT
II WARNING continued
• When parking on hills, also turn
the wheels so that the front
wheels will first run into the curb
if the car starts to roll.
- parking headed downhill. al­
ways turn the front wheels to­
ward the curb.
- parking headed uphill. always
turn the front wheels away from
the curb.
• Do not leave children unat­
tended In the vehicle. A child
could release the parking brake
and allow the c:ar to move causing
an accident and personal injury.

CONT
ROLS AND EQUIPMENT--------------------
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 :

CONT
ROLS AND EQUIPMEN T---------------------
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.

In selector
lever positions "P" (Park) a no
"N" (Neutral), the instruction "WHEN
STA TIONARY APPLY FOOTBRAKE WHILE
SELECTING GEAR" appears in the instru­
ment cluster as a reminder for the driver.
Also, the symbol in the shift console will
light up.
A time delay element prevents the selector
lever from locking when it is moved through
the "N"' (Neutral) position (for example,
going from "R" to "D"). The locking ele­
ment only locks the selector lever if it is left
in the "N" (Neutral) position for more than
about one second without the brake pedal
being depressed.
In the N (Neutral) position, the selector le­
ver will not lock when the vehicle is driving
faster than 3 mph (5 km/h). Display
When the ignition is switched on, the posi­
tion of the selector lever is shown in the dis­
play in the instrument cluster. The illustra­
tion shows selector position D engaged.
The engaged selector lever position will ap­
pear bright against a dark background while
the other positions appear just the opposite.
If all the positions appear dark against a
bright background at the same time, or
when no positions are indicated then there
is a malfunction in the transmission -see
under "Fail-safe mode" on page 111. CONT
ROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Selector lever positions
P- Park
Engage P (Park) only when the vehicle is
stationary. When parking your vehicle, ap­
ply the parking brake first, and then move
the selector lever completely to position P.
To do this depress the button in the
handle of the selector lever and
push it through R to P. The transmis­
sion is then mechanically locked.
To move the selector lever out of the P
(Park) position you must first insert the
ign ition key into the ignition lock and turn.
Before you move the selector lever
from the P (Park) position, you must
always apply the brake pedal before
and while depressing the button in
the handle of the selector lever.
Shift out of the P (Park) position before re­
leasing the parking brake.
When the vehicle is parked on a steep hill,
shifting out of P (Park) may be a little hard­
er. This is due to the vehicle' s weight ex­
erted on the transmission.
