opened immediately beforehand
— You park close to a hedge and the branches
move back and forth under the vehicle for a
long period of time
— You clean your vehicle, for example with a
pressure washer or in a car wash

able to use multiple power sources for external
devices, depending on the vehicle equipment.
12 volt sockets
You can connect electrical accessories to the 12
volt sockets. The power usage from the sockets
must not exceed a total of 120 watts. Do not
connect multiple devices to the sockets in the ve-
hicle at the same time.
The 12 volt sockets are labeled with the 12V
symbol. They are located in the front center con-
sole, in the rear, and on the side trim panel in the
luggage compartment.
USB ports

ports. The USB ports are labeled with the «> or
[4 symbol or CHARGE ONLY.

Z\ WARNING
—To reduce the risk of fatal injury, store all
connected devices securely when driving so
that they do not move around inside the ve-
hicle when braking or in the event of an acci-
dent.
— Incorrect usage can lead to serious injuries
or burns. To reduce the risk of injuries, never
leave children unattended in the vehicle
with the vehicle key.

G) Note
— Read the operating manuals for the con-
nected devices.
—To reduce the risk of damage to the vehicle
electrical system, never attempt to charge
the vehicle battery by connecting accesso-
ries that provide power to the power sour-
ces.
— Do not connect any device whose network
class (voltage) does not match the network
class designed for the socket.
— Disconnect the connectors from the power
sources carefully to reduce the risk of dam-
aging them.
@ Tips

Fig. 82 Center console: switching on the drive system
Your vehicle is powered by electricity. Similar to a
vehicle with a combustion engine, the ignition
and drive system can be switched on separately.
When only the ignition is switched on, electronic
systems such as the MMI are available. However,
the vehicle is not ready to drive. Electric power is
able to move the vehicle once the drive system is
switched on and becomes active.
Requirement: the key must be in the vehicle.
Switching the drive system on
> Press and hold the brake pedal.
> Press the [START STOP] button. The drive sys-
tem switches on.


It is indicated in the power meter whether the
drive system is switched on > page 13.
Switching the drive system off
> Bring the vehicle to a full stop.
> Press the [START STOP] button. The drive sys-
tem switches off.


The steering is locked when you switch off the
drive
system in “P” and open the driver's door.
The steering lock helps prevent vehicle theft.
Switching the drive system off in an
emergency
If necessary in an emergency, the drive system
can also be switched off while driving using the
emergency off function*.
88

> Press the [START STOP] button twice in a row or
press and hold it one time.

Switching on and off
If you would like to switch the ignition on or off
without switching on the drive system, follow
these steps:

> Press the [START STOP] button without pressing
the brake pedal.

Switching the ignition off automatically
To prevent the vehicle battery from draining, the
ignition and possibly the exterior lighting may
switch off automatically.
Requirements:
— You must have driven the vehicle.
— You must have left the vehicle for longer than
30 seconds.
— The ignition must be switched on.
Among other indicators, the system detects that
you have left the vehicle based on the following
factors:
— The driver's door has been opened.
— The driver's safety belt has been unbuckled.
— The brake pedal is not being pressed.
— The driver's seat is not occupied.
The ignition will also be switched off after 30 mi-
nutes or if you lock the vehicle from the outside.

ZA WARNING
— Never switch off the drive system before the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.
Switching it off before the vehicle has stop-
ped may impair the function of the brake
booster and power steering. You would then
need to use more force to steer and brake
the vehicle. The fact that you cannot steer
and brake as usual may increase the risk of
accidents and serious injuries.
— Always select the “P” selector lever position
when parking the vehicle; otherwise, the ve-
hicle could roll away. >

stopping the vehicle and are no cause for
concern.
— It may not be possible to start the vehicle in
extremely low temperatures.
— The drive power depends on the tempera-
ture and the charge level of the high-volt-
age battery.
Messages

ual
The battery in the vehicle key may be drained or
there may be a malfunction. To start the vehicle,
you must also hold the vehicle key against the lo-
cation shown ?) > page 88, fig. 82.
If the malfunction remains, drive immediately to
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi

> Switch on the drive system.
> Select a gear.
> Release the parking brake.
> Release the brake pedal.
> Press the accelerator pedal to accelerate.
Always make sure that the vehicle does not
“creep” when starting to drive and maneuvering.
If you take your foot off the brake pedal, the ve-
hicle will not be set into motion by the drive sys-
tem.
Stopping and parking
> Bring the vehicle to a full stop and press and
hold the brake pedal.
> Set the parking brake.
> Select the “P” selector lever position to secure
the vehicle from rolling away.
» Turn the steering wheel when parking on in-
clines so that the wheels will roll into the curb
if the vehicle starts moving.
> Switch off the ignition before leaving the vehi-
cle.
On hills, activate the parking brake first and then
shift into the "P" selector lever position. This pre-
vents too much stress from being placed on the
locking mechanism.

Z\ WARNING
— Always set the parking brake when leaving
your vehicle, even if for a short period of
time. If the parking brake is not set, the ve-
hicle could roll away, increasing the risk of
an accident.
— Do not leave your vehicle unattended while
the drive system is active, because this in-
creases the risk of an accident.
— If the parking brake is set, it can release au-
tomatically when the accelerator pedal is
pressed. To reduce the risk of an accident,
do not inadvertently press the accelerator >
