- After closing the boot lid, always check that
the catch has engaged properly. The boot lid
could otherwise open suddenly when the ve
hicle is moving - this could result in an
acci
dent.
- Always make sure that no-one is in the boot
lid's area of movement (especially near the
hinges) when it is moving. Risk of severe in
juries to fingers or hands!
- The boot lid must always be completely
closed when the vehicle is moving; other
wise toxic exhaust fumes can be drawn into
the interior.
- If
a
luggage rack (e.g. a bicycle carrier) is at
tached to the boot lid, the boot lid may not
open completely or may move downwards
by itself due to the added weight. For this
reason,
make sure you support the boot lid
or
take the luggage off the carrier before
opening the boot lid - risk of injury!
© Note
- When towing a trailer* the automatic open
function can only be operated via the re
lease catch on the boot lid.
- If the battery is low, the boot lid can still be
opened and closed manually; however, this
will require more effort. If
you
move the
boot lid slowly less effort will be required.
- When the vehicle is locked, you can unlock
the boot Lid separately by pressing the
button on the remote control key. The boot
lid will Lock automatically when you close it
again.

Audi adaptive light
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive light
With the adaptive light feature, you have better

WARNING
- The automatic headlights are only intended
to assist the driver. The driver must always
ensure that the headlights are used when
required,
and may have to switch them on
manually when the light conditions or
visi
bility are poor. For example, the light
sen
sors are not able to detect fog. Therefore,
you should always switch on the dipped
headlights
|0
in these conditions and when
driving after dark.
- To avoid dazzling the traffic behind you, the
rear fog light should only be used in accord
ance with statutory regulations.
- If the vehicle battery has been losing charge
for
a
while, the side lights or parking lights
may be switched off automatically. Always
