~ To prevent the parking brake from releasing au­
tomatically, pull and hold the(®) switch and
press the accelerator pedal. The parking brake
remains set and prevents the vehicle from roll­
ing backward .
~ You can release the(®) switch again once you
are sure that you are giving enough driving
force to the wheels by pressing the accelerator pedal.
Emergency braking function
You can use the emergency braking function in an
emergency situation, or if the standard brake op ­
eration malfunctions or is disabled.
~ Pull and hold the(®) switch.
~ As soon as you release the (®) switch or acceler-
ate, the braking stops .
Pulling and holding the(®) switch while driving
the vehicle activates the emergency braking func­
tion . The vehicle is braked at all four wheels by
activating the hydraulic brake system. The brak ­
ing effect is similar to heavy braking
Q &_.
To reduce the risk of activating the emergency
braking by mistake, a warning tone (buzzer)
sounds when the(®) switch is pulled. Emergency
braking stops as soon as the (®) switch is released
or the accelerator pedal is pressed .
Parking
~ Press the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
~ Pull the(®) switch to set the parking brake.
~ Place the selector lever in the P position .
~ Turn the engine off Q &_.
~ Turn the steering wheel when parking on in­
clines so that the wheels will roll into the curb
if the vehicle starts moving.
WARNING
- Do not press the accelerator pedal inadver­
tently if a gear is selected when the vehicle
is stationary and the engine is running. Oth­
erwise, the vehicle will start to move imme­
diately and this could result in an accident.
- Emergency braking should only be used in
an emergency, when the normal brake pedal
has failed or the brake pedal is obstructed .
Driving
During emergency braking, your vehicle will
brake similar to heavy braking. ESC and the
associated components (ABS, ASR, EDL)
cannot overcome the laws of physics . In cor­
ners and when road or weather conditions
are bad, a full brake application can cause
the vehicle to skid or the rear end to swerve,
which increases the risk of an accident.
- If the power supply fails, you cannot set the
parking brake if it is released. In this case,
park the vehicle on level ground and secure
it by placing the selector lever in the P posi­
tion. See an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility for assistance.
- Always take the vehicle key with you when leaving your vehicle, even for a short period
of time. This applies particularly when chil­
dren remain in the vehicle. Otherwise chil­
dren could start the engine, release the
parking brake or operate electrical equip ­
ment such as power windows, which in­
creases the risk of an accident .
- No one should remain in the vehicle when it
is locked -especially children . Locked doors
make it more difficult for emergency work­
ers to get into the vehicle, which puts lives
at risk.
(D Tips
- When stopping at a traffic signal or stop­
ping in city traffic, you can set the parking
brake manually . The vehicle does not have
to be held with the brake pedal. The parking
brake eliminates the tendency to creep
when a selector lever position is engaged.
As soon as you press the accelerator pedal,
the parking brake releases automatically
and your vehicle starts to move
Q poge

-Occasional noises when the parking brake is
set and released are normal and are not a
cause for concern .
- The parking brake goes through a self-test
cycle at regular intervals when the vehicle is
stopped . Any noises associated with this are
normal. .,.

Check ing and F illing
To reduce the risk o f lime sca le deposits on the
spray nozzles, use clean water with low amounts
of calcium. A lways add window cleaner to the wa­
ter. When the outs ide temperatures are cold, an
anti-freezing agent should be added to the water
so that it does not freeze.
@ Note
-The concentration of anti-freezing agent
must be adjusted to the vehicle operating
cond itions in t he respective climate. A con­
centration that is too high can lead to veh i­
cle damage.
- Never add rad iator anti-freeze or other add i­
tives to the washe r fluid .
- Do not use a glass cleaner that contains
paint solvents, beca use this cou ld damage
the pa int.
Service interval display
The service interval display detects when your ve­
hicle is due for service.
The se rvice interva l disp lay works in two stages:
- Inspection o r oil change reminder : after acer-
ta in d istance is driven, a message appears in
the instrument cluster d isp lay every t ime the
ignition is sw itched on . T he remain ing distance
o r time is d isp layed b riefly.
- In spection or oil change due : if you r vehicle
has reached an inspection o r oi l change interval
o r both intervals at the same time, the mes­
sage

ties:
- New Vehicle Limited Warranty
- Limited Warranty Against Corrosion Perfora-
tion
- Emissions Control System Warranty
- Emissions Performance Warranty
- California Emissions Control Warranty (USA
vehicles only)
- California Emissions Performance Warranty

Operating your vehicle
outside the U.S.A. or
Canada
Government regulati ons in the United States and
Canada require that automobi les meet specific
emission regulations and safety standards.
Therefore, vehicles built for the U.S.A. and Cana ­
da differ from vehicles sold in other countries.
If you plan to take your vehicle outside the conti­
nenta l limits of the United States or Canada,
there is the poss ibility that:
- un leaded fue ls for vehicles with catalytic con­
verter may not be available;
- fuel may have a considerably lower octane rat­
ing . Improper fuel may cause engine damage;
- service may be inadequate due to lack of proper
service facilities, tools or testing equipment;
- r eplacement parts may not be readily available.
- Nav igation systems for veh icles built for the
U.S .A . and Canada will not necessarily work in
Europe, and may not work in other countries
outside of North America.

Maintenance
General '
Your vehicle has been designed to help keep
maintenance requirements to a minimum. How­
ever, a certain amount of regular maintenance is
still necessary to assure your vehicle's safety,
economy and reliability . For detailed vehicle
maintenance consult your Warranty & Mainte­
nance booklet .
Under difficult operating conditions, for exam ­
ple at extremely low outside temperatures, in
very dusty regions, when towing a trailer very fre­
quently, etc., some service work should be per­
formed between the intervals specified. This ap­
plies particularly to:
- oil changes, and
- cleaning or replac ing the a ir filter .
'
@) For the sake of the environment
By regularly maintain ing your vehicle, you
help make sure that em iss ion standards are
maintained, thus minimizing adverse effects
on the environment .
Important considerations for you and your
vehicle
