Starting off with a trailer
To prevent rolling back unintentionally on an in­
cline, do the following:
11-Keep the switch pulled and depress the acceler­
ator. The park ing brake stays applied and pre­
vents the vehicle from roll ing backward .
11-You can release the switch once you are sure
th at you a re developing enough dr iving force at
the whee ls by depressing the a cce le rato r.
Depending on the weight of the r ig (veh icle and
trai ler) and the severity of the inc line, you may
r oll bac kwards as you sta rt . Yo u can prevent roll­
in g ba ckwards by ho ld in g the pa rking brake
sw itch pulled o ut and accelera ting - just as you
wo uld when sta rting on a hill with a conventiona l
hand brake .
Emergency braking
In the event that the conventional brake system
fails or locks .
11-In a n eme rgency, pull the sw itch and conti nue
to pull it to slow your vehi cle down wi th the
parking brake .
11-As soon as you release the switch or acce le rate,
the braking process stops.
If yo u pull the sw itch and hold it above a speed of
about S mph (8 km/h), t he emergency braking
f u nction is init iated . The veh icle is braked at all
four whee ls by activating the hydra ulic brake sys­
t em. The brake performance is simi lar to making
an emergency stop¢.&. .
In o rder not to activate the emergency brak ing by
mistake, an audible warning tone (b uzzer)
sounds w hen the sw itch is p ulled. As soon as t he
sw itch is released, or the accelerator peda l is de­
p ressed, emergency brak ing stops.
A WARNING
Emergency b raking should on ly b e used i n an
eme rgency, when the normal foot brake has
f ail ed or the br ake pedal is obstruc ted. Using
t he par king brake to pe rform emergency brak­
ing w ill slow your vehicle down as if you had
made a fu ll brake a pplicat ion . The laws of
Dri ving
physics cannot be suspended even with ESC
and its associated components (ABS, ASR,
EDS). In corners and when road or weather
c o nditions are bad, a f ull brake application
can cause the vehicle to skid o r th e rear end to
b reak away -risking an accid ent .

Before each stop phase, the system checks if cer­
tain conditions have been met. For example, the
engine will
not be switched off in the following
situations:
- The engine has not reached the minimum re­
quired temperature for Start-Stop-mode.
- The interior temperature selected by the A/C system has not been reached.
- The outside temperature is extremely high/low.
- The windshield is being defrosted ~
page 82.
-The park ing system* is switched on .
- The battery cha rge level is too low.
- The steer ing whee l is sharply turned or there is
a steering movement.
- After engaging the reverse gear.
Engine automatically restarts
The stop phase is interrupted in the following sit­
uations, for example. The engine restarts without
any action by the driver.
- The interior temperature varies from the tem­
perature selected in the A/C system.
- The windshield is beeing defrosted
~ page 82.
-The brake pedal is pressed several times in a
row.
Driving
- The battery charge level becomes too low.
Switching the ignition off automatically
To prevent the battery from draining, the ignition
will switch off
automatically when all of the fol­
lowing condit ions have been met:
- The vehicle has already been driven.
- The engine has been turned off by the Start-
Stop-System.
- The driver's door is opened.
- The driver's seat belt is removed .
- The brake pedal is not pressed down.
- The vehicle is stationary .
In this case, the activated low beam will be re­
placed by the side marker lights. The side marker
lights will switch off after approximately 30 mi ­
nutes or when you lock the vehicle .
If the Start-Stop-System has
not turned off the
engine or if you have switched the Start-Stop­
System off manually, the ignition will
not be au­
tomatically switched off and the engine will con­
tinue to run~,&. .
A WARNING
Never allow the engine to run in confined
spaces - danger of asphyxiation.
(D Tips
-
If you shift into the D/S or N positions after
sh ifting into reverse, the vehicle must be driv­
en faster than 6 mph (10 km/h) in orde r for
the engine to switch off again.

Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep your
driving speed below a set speed limit.
The speed warning sys tem warns if the driver ex­
ceeds a prev iously stored maximum speed. A
warning tone will sound as soon as the vehicle
speed exceeds t he set speed by abo ut
3 mph
(3 km/h). At the same time, a warning sym bol
appe ars in t he display . Th e symbol's appea ran ce
might be different in some models .
The spe ed wa rni ng system has
two warning
thre sholds
that fu nction inde pendently of eac h
other and tha t have somewha t diffe ren t p urpos­
es:
Speed warning 1
You can use speed war ning 1 to set the maxim um
speed wh ile you are d riv ing. This setting will re­
main in effec t until yo u turn off the ig nition, as­
s u ming tha t you have not changed or reset the
setting .

Hybrid
St art-Stop function
The combust ion engine is operated only as need­
ed . Genera lly, the combustion engine turns
off
when the vehicle is stationary and the high volt­
age battery powers the electrical vehicle sys­
tems .
The purpose o f automatica lly shutting the com­
bustion engine
off in hybrid drive mode is to save
fue l. All of the important vehicle systems, such
as steering, brakes and the A/C system, contin ue
to remain active. In some cases, systems may re­
qu ire the combustion engine to continue running
when the vehicle is stationary. When driv ing in
congested traffic for long periods of t i me, the
combustion engine will cycle on when the veh icle
is stationa ry to keep the h igh voltage battery
charged .
Gliding
If the gas pedal is not pressed and the D position
is selected, the combustion engine rema ins
turned
off up to speeds of approximate ly 99 mph
(160 km/h). Dr iving conse rvative ly like this can
r educe fue l consumpt ion.
Energy recovery (recup eration )
When braking, the e lectr ic motor will act as a
generator creating electric energy that is then
s to red in the h igh voltage batte ry. This also oc­
curs when the ve hicle is coas ting or dr iv ing down­
hi ll. The combust ion engine is automatically
turned
off in t his case.

Automatic start of the combu stion engine
Various operating conditions cause the combus ­
tion eng ine to start a utomatica lly :
- T he high vo ltage battery charge leve l is low.
- T he temperature of the combustion engi ne is
low.
- Th e temperature of the cataly tic converte r is
low.
- T he power output needed for the A/C system is
high.
- T he veh icle speed is high .
- The vehicle acceleration is h igh .
- The incline is steep.
- High charge level for the high voltage battery
when coasting. In this case, the hig h voltage
battery cannot absorb any more ene rgy and so
the electric motor cannot s low down the veh i­
cle. The combustion engine tur ns on (eng ine
brake) . In this situation the high voltage bat­
tery will show a Max cha rge.

Vehicle behavior
The kinetic energy of the vehicle
is used to
move the vehicle .
When you release the accelerator pedal en-
tirely, the combustion eng ine turns off auto-
matically and is disengaged. The veh icle
g lid es without being propelled.
The electric motor brakes the vehicle. By do- ing this, a large amount of the kinetic energy
is recovered and may be stored in the high
voltage battery in the form of electric energy .
The kinetic energy of the vehicle is used to
move the vehicle .
T he battery drains quickly when the
!<=!VI but-
ton is turned on, which can increase fuel con-
sumpt ion because electric driv ing is given
priority, even if driving with the combustion
engine on wo uld be more efficient.
When you release the accelerator pedal en-
tirely, the combustion engine turns off auto- matically and is disengaged . The vehicle
g lid es without being propelled.
Fu el consumption can be reduced by coast-
ing .
It is possible to coast up to a vehicle speed of
approximately 99 mph (160 km/h).
A sporty dr iving style increases fuel con-
sumpt ion .
The temperature of the combustion engine
rises very slowly and the fue l consumption
increases considerably.
This conserves the energy in the high voltage
bat tery so that it is available to run the veh i-
cle in electr ic mode .
This reduces exposure of the high voltage
battery to cold temperatures. The required
temperature range for the high voltage bat-
tery will then be reached more quickly after
you start driving.

Introduction
Applies to veh icles: w ith Audi drive select
Drive select provides the possibility to experience
d ifferent types of vehicle settings in one vehicle.
F or instance, using the three
Comfort, Auto and
Dynamic modes, the driver can switch from a
sporty to a comfortable driving mode with the press of a button.
Addit ionally, in vehicles with MM I*, the vehicle
setup for
Individual* mode can be customized by
you. This makes it possible to combine settings
such as a sporty engine tuning with comfortable
steering .
A WARNING
-
Improper use of the drive select can cause
collisions, other accidents and serious person­
al injury.
Description
Applies to veh icles: w ith Audi dr ive select
The vehicle setup in each mode depends on the
veh icle's features . However, the engine, automat­
ic transmission and steering are always involved.
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode, the engine and the au­
tomatic transmission respond quicker or in a
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements. In the sporty dynamic mode, the au­
tomatic transmission shifts at higher RPMs.
Steering
The steering adapts in terms of steering effort and steering ratios. Indirect steer ing that moves
easily, like the steering in comfort mode, is best
suited to long drives on a highway. In contrast,
dynamic mode provides sporty, direct stee ring.
The follow ing applies to vehicles with dynam ic
steer ing*: the steering ratio changes based on ve­
h icle speed in order to maintain optimum steer­
ing effort for the dr iver at all times. This sets the
s teer ing to be less sensitive at higher speeds in
120
order to provide improved vehicle control. At re ­
duced speeds, however, steering is more direct in
order to keep the steer ing effort as m inima l as
possib le when the driver is maneuvering the vehi­
cle. At low and average speeds, dynamic steering
additionally provides more responsive steering
performance.
Adaptive dampers*
The adaptive dampers* use sensors to record in­
formation regarding steering movements, brak­ ing and acceleration operations by the driver,
road surface, driving speed, and load. This makes
i t possible to adapt damp ing to the driving situa­
tion virtually in real t ime . Drive select also makes
i t possible to sat isfy the desire fo r sporty suspen­
s ion (Dynamic) and comfortable suspension
(Comfo rt) without giving up ba lanced tuning (Au­
to).
Engine sound*
T he sound of the engine is adapted to the select­
ed mode and ranges from subtle to sporty.
Adaptive cruise control*
The behavior when accelerating can be adjusted
from comfortable to sporty, depending on the
drive select mode . Adaptive cruise control a lso
r esponds to the driving behavior of the vehicle
ahead in a more conse rvative or sporty manner.
@ Tips
- In some models, the maximum vehicle
speed can only be reached in the
Auto and
Dynamic modes.
- Selecting the
Dynamic mode resu lts in spor­
ty shifting characteristics. The 5 gear pos i­
tion engages automatical ly.
- In vehicl es that have dynamic stee ring*, op­
erating noise is heard when starting or stop­
ping the engine. This does not indicate a
problem .
