General notes
Running in
A new vehicle should be run in over
a
distance of
1,500 km. For the first 1,000 km the engine
speed should not exceed 2/3 of the maximum
permissible engine speed - do not use full throt­
tle and do not tow a trailer or caravan. From
1,000 to 1,500 km you can gradually increase
the engine rpm and road speed.
During its first few hours of running, the internal
friction in the engine is greater than later on
when all the moving parts have bedded down.
How the vehicle is driven for the first 1,500 km
also influences the engine quality. After this
peri­

od you should continue driving at moderate en­
gine speeds, in particular when the engine is

cold.
This helps to reduce wear and tear on the
engine and increases the potential mileage which
can be covered by the engine.
You should also avoid driving with the engine
speed too low. Change down to a lower gear
when the engine no longer runs "smoothly". Ex­
cessively high engine speeds are prevented by an
automatic rev limiter.
A WARNING
After driving through water, mud, sludge,
etc., the braking effect can be delayed slightly
due to moisture on the discs and brake pads.
Applying the brakes carefully several times
will remove the moisture and restore the full
braking effect.
© CAUTION
- Parts of the vehicle (e.g. engine, gearbox,
running gear or electrical components) can
be badly damaged when driving through
water.
- Always switch off the start/stop system*

^>page
79 before driving through water.
© ' Note
- It is advisable to check the depth at the
deepest point before approaching the wa­
ter.
- Do NOT stop the vehicle, drive in reverse or
switch off the engine before you are out of
the water.
- Bear in mind that waves created by oncom­
ing traffic could exceed the permissible
wading depth of your vehicle.
- Avoid driving through salt water (corrosion).
Avoiding damage to the car
© CAUTION
Take care not to damage
Low-mounted
parts
of the car (such as the spoiler or exhaust sys­
tem) on steep ramps, uneven road surfaces or
roadside kerbs, etc. This applies especially to
vehicles with low ground clearance and to all
vehicles when fully laden.
Driving through water on roads
Please note the following in order to prevent
damage to the vehicle when driving through wa­
ter (e.g. on flooded roads):
- The water level must not be higher than the ve­
hicle's underbody.
- Do not drive faster than walking pace.
How to improve economy and minimise
pollution
Fuel economy, environmental impact and wear
on the engine, brakes and tyres depend largely
on the way you drive the vehicle. By adopting an
economical driving style and anticipating the
traffic situation ahead, you can reduce fuel
con­

sumption by 10
-15
%. The following section
gives you some tips on Lessening the impact on
the environment and reducing your operating
costs at the same time.
Anticipate well in advance
A car uses most fuel when accelerating. If
you
an­
ticipate hazards and speed changes well in ad­

vance,
you will need to brake less and thus accel­
erate Less. Wherever possible, Let the car slow
down gradually with a gear engaged, for •

Driving
instance when you can see that the next traffic
lights are red. This takes advantage of the engine
braking effect, reducing wear on the brakes and

tyres.
Emissions and fuel consumption will drop
to zero due to the overrun fuel cut-off.
Change gear early to save fuel
An effective way of saving fuel is to change up
quickly through the gears. Running the engine at
high rpm in the lower gears uses an unnecessary
amount of
fuel.

Applies to: vehicles with manual gearbox
Shift up to second gear as soon as possible. If
possible, we recommend shifting up to the next
gear at approx. 2,000 rpm.
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
Press the accelerator slowly and avoid using the

"kick-down"
feature.
Avoid driving at high speed
Avoid travelling at top speed. Fuel consumption,
exhaust emissions and noise Levels all increase
very rapidly at higher speeds. Driving at moder­
ate speeds will help to save
fuel.

Do not let the engine idle for longer than
necessary
Engine idling periods are automatically reduced
on vehicles with start/stop system*. On vehicles
without a start/stop system, it is worthwhile
switching off the engine at level crossings, for in­
stance, or at traffic lights with a long red phase.
The fuel saved after about 5 seconds can be
greater than the amount of fuel needed to re­
start a warm engine (the exact fuel saving de­
pends on the engine version).
The engine takes a very long time to warm up
when it is running at idling speed. Mechanical
wear and pollutant emissions are also especially
high during this initial warm-up phase. It is
therefore best to drive off immediately after
starting the engine. Avoid running the engine at
high speed.

o
Regular servicing
Regular servicing can establish a basis for good

iS
fuel economy before you start driving. A
well-

serviced engine gives you the benefit of im­
proved fuel efficiency as well as maximum relia­
bility and an enhanced resale value. A poorly
maintained engine can consume up to ten per­
cent more fuel than necessary.
Avoid short trips
The engine and emission control system need to
reach their proper working temperature in order
to minimise fuel consumption and emissions.
A cold engine uses disproportionately more
fuel.

The engine only reaches its working temperature
after about four kilometres, when fuel consump­
tion will return to a normal level.
Check tyre pressures
Always make sure the tyres are inflated to the
correct pressures
•=>page
306 to save
fuel.
If the
tyre pressures
are
just 0.5
bar
too Low, this can
increase the fuel consumption by as much as 5
%. Due to the greater rolling resistance, under-
inflation also increases tyre wear and impairs

handling.

Do not use winter tyres all through the year; they
will increase fuel consumption by up to 10 %.
Avoid carrying unnecessary loads
Every kilo of extra weight will increase the fuel
consumption, so it is worth checking the Luggage
compartment occasionally to make sure that no
unnecessary loads are being transported.
The roof carrier increases the air resistance of the
vehicle and should be removed when not in use.
This will save about 12 % of fuel at speeds of be­
tween 60 and 75
mph.

Save electrical energy
The engine drives the alternator to generate elec­
tricity. This means that fuel consumption rises
when more power is required for electrical equip­
ment. Switch off electrical equipment when it is
not needed. Electrical equipment which uses a
lot of electricity includes the blower (at a high
setting), the rear window heating and the seat

heating*.

To move the selector lever to position R, release
the selector Lever lock and at the same time
press the brake pedal.
N - Neutral
In this position, the gearbox is in neutral.
D/S - Drive/Sport (standard position for
driving forwards)
In selector Lever position D/S, the gearbox can be
operated in either the standard drive mode (D) or
in sport mode (S). To select sport mode (S), brief­
ly pull the selector lever back. The gearbox will
switch back to drive mode (D) if
you
pull the se­
lector lever again. The selected driving mode is
shown in the instrument cluster display.
In the standard drive mode (D), the gearbox au­
tomatically selects the best gear ratio. This de­
pends on the engine
load,
the road speed and the
driving style.
In Sport mode S, the gearbox makes full use of
the engine power. When accelerating the gear
shifts may be noticeable.

Towing a trailer
Requirements for correct functioning of the
trailer stabilisation system
If these conditions are not met in
full,
the trailer
stabilisation system will only intervene to a
limi­

ted extent or not at all
>=>
A-
- The electrical connection between the towing
vehicle and the trailer must be functioning cor­
rectly.
- The load on the trailer must be properly se­

cured.

- The tyre pressures on both the vehicLe and the
trailer must be adapted to the load that is be­
ing carried.
- Where possible, operate the trailer with the
maximum permitted draw bar weight.
- The trailer overrun brake must be set correctly.
This is important to ensure that the trailer can
be braked correctly, to avoid the vehicle and
trailer "jack-knifing" and to prevent excess
braking of the trailer.
- At low outside temperatures, both the towing
vehicle and the trailer should be fitted with
winter tyres.
A WARNING
It is essential that you adjust your speed to
suit the weather, road and traffic conditions.
Do not let the trailer stabilisation system
tempt you into taking any risks when driving -
this can cause accidents.
- The ESC and trailer stabilisation system
can­

not defy the Laws of physics. This should be
kept in mind, particularly on slippery and
wet roads and when towing a trailer with a
light Load.
- The trailer stabilisation system is function­

al,
regardless of whether the trailer has a
mechanical overrun brake or not.
- The trailer stabilisation system is not always
able to detect swaying of trailers with a
light load and will therefore not intervene.
- A trailer can still "jack-knife" on slippery
roads with little grip, even if the towing ve­
hicle is equipped with the trailer stabilisa­
tion system.
-Trailers with a high centre of gravity may
even tip over before they start to sway
side­

ways.

-If
you
are not towing a trailer,
but
the
trail­

er socket is being used (e.g. for an illumina­
ted bicycle rack), the trailer stabilisation
system may be activated in extreme driving
conditions.
- Please note the additional information and
warnings
^>page
98, Driving tips.
Driving tips
Driving with a trailer always requires extra care.
Weight distribution
Try to avoid towing a loaded trailer with an unla­
den vehicle. If this cannot be avoided, drive extra
slowly to allow for the unbalanced weight distri­

bution.

Speed
Normally, you must not exceed 80 km/h when
towing a trailer or caravan. However, if the
trail­

er/caravan is equipped with a trailer stabilisation

system,
you can drive at max. 100 km/h. Please
observe any other regulations applicable in the
country in which you are travelling.
The stability of the car and trailer is reduced with
increasing speed. For this reason it is advisable
not to drive at the maximum permissible top
speed in unfavourable
road,
weather or wind
con­

ditions. This applies especially on a downhill gra­
dient.
You should always reduce speed immediately if
the trailer shows the slightest sign of swaying.
Never try to stop the swaying by accelerating fur­
ther.
Always brake in good time. If the trailer has an
overrun brake, apply the brakes gently at first
and then firmly. This will prevent the jerking that
can be caused by the trailer wheels locking.
Change down in good time before going down a
steep hill so
that
you can use the engine braking
effect to slow down the vehicLe.
Swaying and pitching can be reduced by attach­
ing an extra stabiliser to the trailer. It should •

- If the traffic signs are partially or completely

obscured,
e.g. by trees, snow, mud or other
vehicles.
- If traffic signs deviate from the standard ap­
pearance (round with red border).
- If traffic signs are damaged or bent.
- If matrix traffic signs are mounted on overhead
gantries.
- If traffic signs or routes have changed (naviga­
tion data out of date).
- If the system detects a speed sticker on a slow-
moving vehicle (such as a heavy goods vehicle).
WARNING
Always direct your full attention to the road
and surroundings, even when you are using
traffic sign recognition. The actual traffic
signs on your route always take precedence

over
the information on the display. It is al­
ways the driver's responsibility to assess the
traffic situation and take appropriate care.
- Under adverse conditions, the traffic sign
recognition system may misinterpret or fail
to detect traffic signs. It is therefore possi­

Audi adaptive cruise
control
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control

»

Fig.
100 Sensor range
The adaptive cruise control is a combined speed
and distance control system. It assists the driver
by controlling the road speed and the distance to
the vehicle in front within certain limits imposed
by the system. The adaptive cruise control sys­
tem can accelerate and brake when it detects a
vehicle in front. This provides maximum comfort
both on long motorway journeys and in conges­
ted traffic (automatic gearbox*).
What can the adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cruise control uses a radar. The ra­
dar is subject to certain system limitations

opage
112.
When there is no traffic in front, the adaptive
cruise control works just like a normal cruise
con­

trol system by maintaining a constant speed.
When you draw closer to a vehicLe in front which
is detected by the system, the adaptive cruise
control matches your speed to that vehicle by au­
tomatically applying the brakes, and then main­
tains a constant distance (which you can adjust in
the settings). As soon as it detects no more
vehicles in front, the adaptive cruise control ac­
celerates back up to the cruising speed.
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
In congested traffic, the adaptive cruise control
can brake down to a standstill and accelerate
again (subject to general system limitations) un­
der certain conditions
*$page

congested traffic. The traffic jam assist (active
lane assist)* can assist the driver in traffic jams
and heavy congestion

that vehicle by applying the brakes, and then
maintains a constant distance (which you can ad­
just in the settings). If the vehicle in front accel­
erates, the adaptive cruise control will also accel­
erate up to the target speed you have specified.
The higher the speed, the higher the distance

ing on the traffic situation and the driving style
of the driver in front.
If you change the gap, the new setting will be
shown briefly on the instrument cluster display,
