tem has been switched off for system reasons. In
this case, the ESC can be reactivated by switching
the ignition off and then on again. If the indica­
tor lamp goes out, this means the system is fully

functional.

an accident.
- You should only use the emergency braking
function in a real emergency, for example if
the brake system were to fail or if the brake
pedal were to be obstructed. If
you
use the
emergency braking function by activating
the parking brake switch, this has the same
effect as heavy braking. Please remember
that the ESC (and the integrated ABS, EDL
and traction control functions) is still sub­
ject to certain physical limits. In a corner or
in bad road or weather conditions an emer­
gency stop can cause the vehicle to skid or
lose steering control.
- It is not possible to apply the parking brake
if the electrical power supply fails. In this

case,
park the vehicle on a
level
surface and
select 1st gear (manual gearbox) or move
the selector lever to position
P
(automatic
gearbox) to prevent
it
from rolling. Obtain
professional assistance.
- Always take the key with you when leaving
your
vehide
- even if
you
only intend to be
gone for
a
short time. This is especially im­
portant if children are left in the car. They
might otherwise be able to start the engine,
release the parking brake or use power-op­
erated equipment such as the electric
win­

dows - this could lead to injuries.
- Do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the vehicle when it is locked. Locked doors
could delay assistance in an emergency, po­
tentially putting lives at risk.
© Note
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
You can apply the parking brake manually or
switch on the hold assist* when stopping at
traffic lights, etc. You do not then have to
hold the car with the brake pedal, as the
brakes will stop it creeping forward while a
gear is engaged in the automatic transmis­

sion.

Electronic stabilisation
control (ESC)
Description
The electronic stabilisation control (ESC) increa­
ses the car's stability. It reduces the tendency to
skid and improves the stability and roadholding
of the vehicle. The ESC detects critical handling
situations, such as understeer, oversteer and

wheelspin
on the driven wheels. It stabilises the
vehicle by braking individual wheels or by reduc­
ing the engine torque. The indicator
lamp^
in
the instrument cluster starts flashing as soon as
the ESC intervenes.
The following systems are integrated in the ESC:
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking up under
braking until the vehicle has reached a virtual

standstill.
You can continue to steer the vehicle
even when the brakes are on
full.
Keep your foot
on the brake pedal and do not pump the brakes.
You will feel the brake pedal puLsate while the
anti-lock brake system is working.
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can shorten the braking
distance. The braking force is automatically boos­
ted if
you
press the brake pedal quickly in an
emergency. You must keep pressing the brake
pedal until the danger has passed. On
vehides

with adaptive cruise control*, the response of the
brake assist system will be more sensitive if you
are too close to the vehicLe in front.
Traction control system (ASR)
In the event of
wheelspin,
the traction control
system reduces the engine torque to match the
amount of grip available. This helps the car to
start moving, accelerate or climb a gradient.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
When the EDL detects wheelspin, it brakes the
spinning wheel and directs the power to the
oth­

er driven wheel (or wheels on quattro* versions).
This function is not available at high speeds.
To prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
from overheating, the EDL cuts out automatically
if subjected to excessive loads. The vehicLe can
still be driven. The EDL will switch on again auto­
matically when the brake has cooled down.
Steering recommendation
The ESC helps to stabilise the vehicle by changing
the steering wheel torque.
Trailer stabilisation system
Applies to: vehicles with trailer stabilisation system
Trailers have a tendency to sway. If the
ESC
de­
tects that the trailer is swaying and this is affect­
ing the towing vehicLe, it will automatically brake
the vehicle in order to stabilise the trailer

^>page
97.
Selective wheel torque control
Selective wheel torque control intervenes when
cornering by braking the wheel(s) on the inside of
the bend individually as required. This enables
precision cornering.
Multicollision brake assist system
The "multicollision brake assist system" can help
to reduce the risk of skidding and further
colli­

sions during an accident. If the airbag control
unit detects that
a
collision has taken place up­
wards of
a
certain speed, the vehicle is braked by
the
ESC.

The vehicle will not be braked automatically if:
- the driver presses the accelerator,
- or the
ESC,
the brake system or the vehicle's
electrical system are not fully functional.
WARNING
- The grip provided by the ESC and the inte­
grated systems is still subject to the physi­
cal limits of adhesion. Always bear this in

mind,
especially on wet or sLippery roads. If
you notice the systems cutting in, you
should reduce your speed immediately to
suit the road and traffic conditions. Do not

let
the extra safety provided tempt you into
taking any risks when driving - this can
cause accidents.
145

Intelligent technology
Remember that the accident risk always in­
creases
if
you
drive fast, especially
in
cor­
ners
or
on a wet
or
slippery
road,
or if
you
follow too close behind the vehicle in front
of
you.
Please bear
in
mind that even
the

ESC
and
the
integrated systems cannot
compensate
for
the increased accident risk.
When accelerating
on
a uniformly slippery
surface
(for
instance
all
four wheels on
ice

or snow), press the accelerator gradually
and carefully. The driven wheels may other­
wise start
to
spin
(in
spite
of
the integrated
control systems), which would impair the
car's stability and could lead
to
an accident.
© Note
The ABS and ASR systems can only work
properly
if
a 11
four tyres have a similar de­
gree
of
wear. Any differences
in the
rolling
radius
of
the tyres can cause the system
to

reduce engine power when this
is not
de­

sired.

The systems can make noises when they in­
tervene.

WARNING
You should switch on the off-road mode or
switch off the ESC/traction control system
(ASR) only if your driving ability and the traf­
fic conditions allow you to do so safely -
dan­

ger of skidding!
- The stabilising function is restricted when
off-road mode is switched on. The driven
wheels may start to
spin,
causing the
vehi­

cle to lose grip, in particular on slippery or
wet roads.
- When the ESC/traction control system
(ASR) is switched off, the vehicle will not be

stabilised.

Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not give full braking effect for
the first 400 km, they must first be "bedded in".
However, you can compensate for the slightly re­
duced braking effect by applying more pressure
on the brake pedal. Avoid placing a heavy load on
the brakes during the running-in period.
Wear
The rate of wear on the brake pads depends a
great deal on how you drive and the conditions in
which the vehicLe is operated. Negative factors

are,
for instance, city traffic, frequent short trips
or hard driving with abrupt starts and stops.
Noises
Brake noise may develop in certain situations, de­
pending on the speed, braking force and ambient
conditions (such as temperature and relative hu­
midity).
Effect of moisture and salt
In certain conditions, such as in heavy
rain,
early
morning dew, or after washing the car or driving
through water, the full braking effect can be de­
layed by moisture (or in winter by ice) on the
discs and brake pads. The brakes should be
< "dried" by pressing the pedal to restore full brak-

R
ing effect.
When you are driving at higher speeds with the
windscreen wipers on, the brake pads are very
briefly brought into contact with the brake discs.
This automatic process which goes unnoticed by
the driver is carried out at regular intervals and is
intended to improve braking response in wet
con­

ditions.
The effectiveness of the brakes can also be
tem­

porarily reduced if the car is driven for some dis­
tance without using the brakes when there is a
lot of salt on the road in winter. The layer of salt
that accumulates on the discs and pads can be
removed with a few cautious brake applications.
Corrosion
There may be a tendency for dirt to build up on
the brake pads and corrosion to form on the discs
if the car is used infrequently, or if
you
only drive
low mileages without using the brakes very

much.

If the brakes are not used frequently, or if corro­
sion has formed on the discs, it is advisable to
clean off the pads and discs by braking firmly a
few times from a moderately high speed
•=> A-

Faults in the brake system
If the brake pedal travel should ever increase
suddenly, this may mean that one of the two
brake circuits has failed. Drive immediately to the
nearest qualified workshop and have the fault

rectified.
On the way to the dealer, be prepared
to use more pressure on the brake pedal and al­
low for longer stopping distances.
Low brake fluid level
Malfunctions can occur in the brake system if the
brake fluid level is too low. The brake fluid level
is monitored electronically.
Brake servo
The brake servo amplifies the pressure you apply
to the brake pedal. It only works when the engine
is running. •

WARNING

- When applying
the
brakes
to
clean
off
de­
posits
on the
pads and discs, select
a
clear,
dry
road.
Be sure
not to
inconvenience
or
en­
danger other road users;
do not
risk an
acci­

dent.
- Never
let the car
coast with
the
engine
switched
off
(this can cause accidents).

(T)
CAUTION

- Never
let the
brakes "drag"
by
leaving your
foot on
the
pedal when you
do not
really
in­

tend
to
brake. This overheats
the
brakes,
re­

sulting
in
longer stopping distances
and

greater wear.
- Before driving down
a
long,
steep gradient,
it
is
advisable
to
reduce speed
and
select
a

lower gear.
In
this way you will make use
of

the engine braking effect and relieve
the

load
on the
brakes.
If
you
still have
to use

the brakes,
it is
better
to
brake firmly
at in­

tervals than
to
apply
the
brakes continuous-

Ly

-
If
the brake servo
is out of
action,
you must
apply considerably more pressure
to the

brake pedal than you normally would.
-
If
you
wish
to
equip
the
car with accessories
such as a front spoiler
or
wheel covers,
it is

important that
the
flow
of air to the
front
wheels
is not
obstructed, otherwise
the

brakes can overheat.

(quattro)
Applies to: vehicles with four-wheel drive

On
quattro models
the
engine power is distrib­
uted
to all
four wheels.
General notes
On four-wheel drive vehicles,
the
engine power
is

distributed
to all
four wheels. The distribution
of

power
is
controlled automatically according
to

your driving style and
the
road conditions. Also
refer

The four-wheel drive
is
specially designed
to

complement
the
superior engine power
of
your

Audi.
This combination gives
the car
exceptional
handling
and
performance capabilities
-
both
on

normal roads and
in
more difficult conditions,
such
as

All-weather tyres can also be used instead of
winter tyres. Please note that winter tyres
with the
A
symbol are required by law during
the winter season in some countries.
Snow chains
Snow chains will improve braking ability as well
as traction in winter conditions.
• Snow chains can be used on the front wheels
only. This also applies to vehicles with four-
wheel drive*.

•
Check that the snow chains are correctly seated
after driving for
a
few yards; follow the instruc­
tions given by the manufacturer.

•
Keep your speed below 50 km/h. Please ob­
serve the applicable local regulations.
Only use snow chains with fine-pitch links. The
links must not protrude more than 13.5 mm
from the tyres (including tensioner).
You must remove the snow chains on roads which
are free of snow; otherwise the vehicLe handling
may be impaired and the tyres may be damaged.
For technical reasons snow chains may only be
used on tyres with certain wheel rim/tyre combi­
nations.

Low-profile tyres
Applies to: vehicles with low-profile tyres
Your vehicLe is fitted with low-profile tyres* as
standard equipment. Low-profile tyres have a
lower sidewall and provide a wider tread surface
and rim diameter than other wheel/tyre combi­
nations. This makes the car's handling more

agile.
However, the ride may be Less comfortable
on poor-quality roads and tracks, and rolling
noise may be louder.
Low-profile tyres can be damaged more quickly
than standard tyres, for example by heavy jolts,
potholes, manhole covers, speed humps and

kerbs.
It is therefore particularly important to
ensure that they are inflated to the correct pres­
sure
o
page 307.
Drive with particular care on poor-quality roads
to ensure that you do not damage the rims and

tyres.

Make sure to check your wheels regularly (every
3,000 km) for damage such as blisters/tears on
the tyre sidewalls or deformations/cracks on the

rims.

After a heavy jolt, or if any damage occurs, you
should have the rims and tyres checked and if
necessary replaced by
a
qualified workshop.
Tyre wear occurs more quickly on low-profile
tyres than on standard tyres.
Summer tyres are not suitable for cold condi­

tions,
snow or ice. Use winter or all-season tyres
when driving in these conditions
