the standard tyres. Nevertheless, we still recom­
mend that winter tyres or all-season tyres should
be fitted on all four wheels when winter road
conditions are expected, mainly because this will
give a better braking response.
Snow chains
On roads where snow chains are mandatory, this
also applies to cars with four-wheel drive

Opcrge
309, Snow chains.
Replacing tyres
On vehicles with four-wheel drive, all four tyres
must have the same rolling circumference. Also
avoid using tyres with varying tread depths

tapage
305,
New wheels or tyres.
Off-roader?
Some models do not have enough ground clear­
ance to be used on rough tracks and uneven ter­

rain,
so it is best to avoid off-road driving.
A WARNING
- Even with four-wheel drive, you should al­
ways adjust your speed to suit the condi­

tions.
Do not let the extra safety provided
tempt you into taking any risks when driving
- this can cause accidents.
- The braking ability of your car is limited by
the grip of the tyres. In this respect, your
car is no different from a car without four-
wheel drive. So do not be tempted to drive
too fast on icy or slippery roads just because
the car still has good acceleration in these
conditions - risk of accident!
- On wet roads bear in mind that the front
wheels may start to "aquaplane" and lose
contact with the road if the car is driven too
fast. If this should happen, there will be no
sudden increase in engine speed to warn the
driver, as with a front-wheel drive car. So do
not drive too fast in the wet: adjust your
speed to suit the conditions (accident risk).

Power management
This system helps to ensure reliable
starting

The
power management controls the distribu­
tion of electrical energy and thus helps to ensure
that there is always enough power available to
start the engine.
If
a
vehicle with a conventional electrical system
is left parked for
a
long time, the vehicle battery
will gradually lose its charge because certain
electrical equipment (such as the immobiliser)
continues to draw current even when the ignition
is off. In some cases there may not be enough
power available to start the engine.
Your vehicLe is equipped with an intelligent pow­
er management system to control the distribu­
tion of electrical energy. This significantly im­
proves reliability when starting the engine, and
also prolongs the life of the vehicle battery.
The main functions incorporated in the power
management system are battery diagnosis, re­
sidual current management and dynamic power
management.
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis function constantly regis­
ters the condition of the vehicle battery. Sensors
detect the battery voltage, battery current and
battery temperature. This enables the system to
calculate the current power level and charge
con­

dition of the vehicle battery.
Residual current management
The residual current management reduces power
consumption while the vehicle is parked. It
con­

trols the supply of power to the various electrical
components while the ignition is switched off.
The system takes the battery diagnosis data into
consideration.
Depending on the power Level of the vehicle bat­
tery, the individual electrical components are
switched off one after the other to prevent the
vehicle battery from losing too much charge and
to ensure that the engine can be started reliably. •
149

Intelligent technology
Dynamic power management
While the vehicle is moving, this function distrib­
utes the available power to the various electrical
components and systems according to their re­
quirements. It ensures that on-board systems do
not consume more electrical power than is being

generated,
and thus maintains the maximum
possible vehicle battery power level.
® Note
- The power management system is not able
to overcome the given physical limits.
Please remember that the power and life of
the vehicle battery are limited.
- If the indicator lamp
|3 ^page
31 appears,
the starting ability may be impaired.
Starting ability has first priority.
Short trips, city traffic and low temperatures all
place a heavy load on the vehicLe battery. In
these conditions a large amount of power is
con­

sumed,
but only
a
small amount is supplied. The
situation is also critical if electrical equipment is
in use when the engine is not running. In this
case power is consumed when none is being
gen­

erated.

In these situations you will be aware that the
power management system is intervening to
con­

trol the distribution of electrical power.
When the vehicle is parked for long periods
If
you
do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are

using.
This limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
long period. Certain convenience features, such
as remote controL unlocking, may not be availa­

ble.
These functions will be restored when you
switch on the ignition and start the engine.
150
With the engine switched off
If
you
listen to the radio or use the other info­
tainment functions when the engine is not
run­

ning,
this will discharge the vehicle battery.
The infotainment display will show a warning
message before the battery power drops to a Lev­
el where the starting ability is impaired. This
message warns you that the system you are using
will soon be switched off automatically. You
should therefore start the engine if
you
wish to
continue using the system.
When the engine is running
Although the alternator generates electrical
power, the vehicle battery can still become dis­
charged while the vehicle is being driven. This can
occur when a lot of power is being consumed but
only
a
small amount supplied, especially if the
vehicle battery is not fully charged initially.
To restore the necessary energy balance, the sys­
tem
will
then temporarily shut off the electrical
components that are using a lot of power, or re­
duce the current they are consuming. Heating
systems in particular use a Large amount of elec­
trical power. If
you
notice, for instance, that the
seat heating* or the rear window heater is not

working,
they may have been temporarily switch­
ed off or regulated to a lower heat output. These
systems will be available again as soon as
suffi­

cient electrical power is available.
You may also notice that the engine runs at a
slightly faster idling speed. This is quite normal,
and no cause for concern. The increased idling
speed allows the alternator to meet the greater
power requirement and charge the vehicLe bat­
tery at the same time.
Information saved in the
control units
The vehicle is fitted in the factory with electronic
control units that, among other things, control
the engine and the gearbox. The controL units al­
so monitor the exhaust system and the airbags.
The control units continually analyse data rele­
vant to the vehicLe while you are driving. In the •

o < 00
event of faults or anomalies in the vehicLe data,
only these data are saved. As a rule, faults are
shown by the warning lamps in the instrument
cluster.
Data saved in the control units can only be read
and analysed with special equipment.
A qualified workshop is only able to recognise
and deal with faults by using the relevant saved

data.
Among other things, the saved data may
contain the following information:
- Data relating to the engine and the gearbox
-Speed
- Direction of travel
- Braking force
- Seat belt warning system data
The control units installed will not under any cir­
cumstances record conversations in the vehicle.
Event data recorder
Your vehicLe is not equipped with an event data
recorder.
In an event data recorder, information about the
vehicle is temporarily saved. In the event of an
accident, you can therefore obtain detaiLed infor­
mation about the course of events. On vehicles
with an airbag system, accident-related data
such as impact speed, seat belt status, seat
posi­

tions and trigger times can be saved. The exact
information saved depends on the manufacturer.
The installation of an event data recorder is sub­
ject to the agreement of the vehicle's owner. This
process is governed by legislation in some coun­

tries.

Reprogramming control units
All data for controlling components are saved in
the control units. Some convenience features,
such as one-touch signalling, single door unlock­
ing and display messages can be reprogrammed
using special workshop equipment. If any
con­

venience features are reprogrammed, the infor­
mation in this Owner's Manual will no longer be
accurate for the features that have been

changed.
We recommend having the reprogram­
ming approved.
Your Audi dealer will be able to provide you with
information about possibLe reprogramming op­

tions.

Event memory
There is a diagnostic connection for reading out
the event memory Located in the
footweLL
on the
driver's side of the vehicle. Information regard­
ing the operation and status of the vehicle's elec­
tronic control units is stored in the event memo­
ry. The event memory should only be read out
and erased by
a
qualified workshop.
A WARNING
The diagnostic connection must not be used
for other purposes. Incorrect use can cause
malfunctions - risk of accident!
