Audi recommends using alternating current (AC) with an industrial alternating current (AC) socket
to charge the high-voltage battery at industrial or with a public alternating current (AC) or direct
sockets, charging stations, or a wallbox. This will current (DC) charging station.
allow you to achieve higher efficiency and a con-
siderably shorter charging time when compared
to charging with a household socket.
High-voltage batteries age over time, which re-
duces the available range. High-voltage batteries
can also age because of how they are used: fre-

Driver assistance

Starting to drive with adaptive cruise assist)
As long as the message ready to drive and a is
displayed, your vehicle will begin driving when
the vehicle ahead starts to move > /\.
If you are stopped for several seconds, your vehi-
cle will no longer drive autonomously for safety
reasons, and the message will turn off.
> To extend ready to drive for several seconds or
reactivate, pull the lever briefly towards you in
the direction of the arrow > page 151, fig. 107.
> To resume manual control of the vehicle, tap
the accelerator pedal.
Safe start monitor
The vehicle can still start to drive even if certain
obstacles are detected when starting to drive
=> /\. If the surrounding area detection detects
an obstacle, you will be alerted to the danger by
the A indicator light.
If you are in the Driver assistance display, the
display @ © fig. 108 and the message Warning!
will also appear. An audio signal will also sound.
Your vehicle will drive more slowly when starting.
This may also occur in some situations when
there is no apparent obstacle.
>» Press the brake pedal to slow your vehicle
down.


ZA WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 129.
— If the message ready to drive) appears,
your vehicle will start driving even if there is
an obstacle between your vehicle and the ve-
hicle ahead. To reduce the risk of an acci-
dent, always make sure there are no obsta-
cles between your vehicle and the vehicle
driving ahead.

@) Tips
For safety reasons, adaptive cruise assist is
only active if:

D_ This is not available in some countries.

— The driver's safety belt is fastened
— All doors and the hood are closed
— Your vehicle is not stopped for a long period
of time

Fig. 109 Instrument cluster: request for driver interven-
tion
The request for driver intervention instructs you
to resume manual control of the vehicle if the
adaptive cruise assist braking function is not able
to maintain a sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead. The system will warn you of the hazard
with the A indicator light and the message Dis-
tance!. An audio signal will also sound.
The display @ only appears when the Driver as-
sistance display is open in the on-board comput-
er > page 14.

—The satellite map) is updated regularly
whenever the function is opened. The proc-
ess may take several seconds.
— Depending on the Internet connection, the
standard map may also be displayed when
the satellite map is switched on )).

@ Depending on environmental conditions, the
start of the colored section shows the proba-
ble minimum electric range for your vehicle.
@ The border indicates the maximum electric
range for your vehicle under optimal condi-
tions.
Map update
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with navigation system
You can update the map data in the MMI with a
map update. The functions depend on the coun-
try and vehicle equipment.
— Map update through online map update
=> page 203.
— Map update through the myAudi app.
— Import a map update from the USB connection
to your MMI & page 203.
— Map update at an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility. This can result in
additional costs.

Wheels

Make sure that the tire designa-
tion on your tire matches the des-
ignation on the tire pressure label
and the tire pressure table.
The following table lists recom-
mended tire pressures in cold
tires according to the load and
the size of the tires installed.

Z\ WARNING
Please note the important safe-
ty precautions regarding tire
pressure > page 251 and load
limits > page 253.
Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of
load or weight that any vehicle
and any tire can carry. A vehicle
that is overloaded will not handle
well and is more difficult to stop.
Overloading can not only lead to
loss of vehicle control, but can al-
so damage important parts of the
vehicle and can lead to sudden
tire failure, including a blowout
and sudden deflation that can
cause the vehicle to crash.

@) Two people in the front, one person in the rear
Your safety and that of your pas-
sengers also depends on making
sure that load limits are not ex-
ceeded. Vehicle load includes ev-
erybody and everything in and on
the vehicle. These load limits are
technically referred to as the vehi-
cle’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(“GVWR”).
The “GVWR” includes the weight
of the basic vehicle, all factory in-
stalled accessories, a full tank of
fuel, oil, coolant and other fluids
plus maximum load. The maxi-
mum load includes the number of
passengers that the vehicle is in-
tended to carry (“seating capaci-
ty”) with an assumed weight of
150 lbs. (68 kg) for each passen-
ger at a designated seating

Low-profile tires can wear out faster than stand-
ard tires.

item Me Clin meleCel lire)
— Tread wear
— Traction AAABC
— Temperature ABC
Quality grades can be found where applicable on
the tire side wall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width > page 242, fig. 155.
For example: Tread wear 200, Traction AA, Tem-
perature A.
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal
Safety Requirements in addition to these grades.
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified gov-
ernment test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one
and one half (1 1/2) times as well on the govern-
ment course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon
the actual conditions of their use, however, and
may
depart significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service practices and
differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, Band C. Those grades represent the tire's
ability to stop on wet pavement as measured un-
der controlled conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction performance
oA.
Temperature
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B,
and C, representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate
258
heat when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the mate-
rial of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life,
and excessive temperature can lead to sudden
tire failure > A\.
The grade C corresponds to a Level of perform-
ance which all passenger car tires must meet un-
der the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher Levels
of performance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.

Z\ WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration, cor-
nering, hydroplaning or peak traction charac-
teristics.

ZX WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla-
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.

ZA WARNING
Temperature grades apply to tires that are
properly inflated and not over or underinflat-
ed.

Tire pressure monitoring
system
(1) General notes
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and inflat-
ed to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure la-
bel, you should determine the proper tire infla-
tion pressure for those tires).
