(D Tips
The consumption estimates as published by
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
(EPA) and Transport Canada may not corre­
spond to your actual consumption on the
road, which will vary depending upon vehicle
load and speed, road and weather conditions,
trip length, etc.
Steering
Manual steering wheel position adjustment
Applies to: vehicle s with manu al steering wheel adjustment
The steering wheel position is adjustable up and
down and forward and back.
Fig. 84 Steeri ng column: lever for adjust ing the steer ing
wheel position
"Pull the lever in the direction of the arrow
¢ .&.-
Driving
"Bring the steering wheel into the desired posi­
tion.
" Push the leve r against the steer ing column un­
til it is secure.
A WARNING
-Incorrect use of the steering wheel adjust­
ment and an incorrect seating position can
cause serious injuries.
-
- Only adjust the steering column when the
vehicle is stationary so that you do not lose
control of the vehicle.
-Adjust the driver's seat or steering wheel so that there is at least a 10 in (25 cm) dis­
tance between your chest and the steering
wheel. If you do not maintain this distance
I
the airbag system will not be able to provide
its full protection.
- If your physical characteristics prevent you
from sitting at least 10 in (25 cm) or more
away from the steering wheel, see if an au­
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility can provide adapters that
will help.
- If your face is level with the steering wheel,
the airbag does not provide as much protec­
tion during a collision. Always make sure
that the steering wheel is level with your
chest.
- Always hold the steering wheel with your
hands in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi­
tions to reduce the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys.
- Never hold the steering wheel in the 12
o'clock position or with both hands on the
rim or the center of the steering wheel.
Holding the steering wheel incorrectly sig­
nificantly increases the risk of injury to the
hands, arms and head if the driver airbag
deploys.

Audi pre sense
Introduction
Applies to: ve hicles w ith Audi p re se nse
W ith in the limits of the system, the pre sense
functions can in it iate measures in particularly
dangerous s ituat ions to protect the ve hicle pas ­
sengers and ot her r oad users.
- Due to the interl ink ing of various vehicle sys­
tems , crit ica l dr iv ing s ituat ions can be detected
by
pr e s ense basic and measu res fo r preventa­
t ive occ upan t protect ion are can be initiated.
- T he
pre sen se front system uses the data from
t h e adapt ive cr uise control* radar sensors and
t h e camera to calc ulate the probab ility of a col ­
lision . Within the limits of the system, an im ­
pending collision with vehicles can be detected
in both urban and rural speed ranges. In this
case, the system warns the driver visually,
acoustically and with a jerk on the brakes if nec­
essary . If needed, it can initiate a partial or fu ll
deceleration to reduce the collision speed or to
avo id the co llision unde r ce rtain c ircumstances .
In conjunct ion with p re sense basi c/rear, the
front safety belts are also revers ibly tensioned
whe n needed. The pre sense front is also act ive
when adaptive cruise control* is switched o ff.
- Pr e se nse rear con tains pre sense basic func ­
tions. It uses the data from the side assist* ra­
dar sensors and calc ulates within the limits of
the system the probability of a rear end colli ­
sion with the vehicle behind you . Pre sense rear
is also active when s ide assist* is switched off .
112
-Within the limits of the system, pre sen se cit y
uses the camera data and can detect an im ­
pending collision with vehicles and pedestrians .
In this case, the system warns the driver visual­ ly, acoustical ly and w it h a jerk on the brakes if
necessary . If needed, it ca n initiate a full dece l­
erat ion to reduce t he coll is ion speed or to avoid
the collision under certa in circumstances . In
conjunction with p re sense basi c/rear, the front
safety belts are a lso reve rsibly te nsioned whe n
needed.
& WARNING
Read the genera l information inc::> .&. in Gen ­
eral information on page 103,
~ .&. in Gener ­
al information on page 122.
(D Tips
- C erta in p re sense funct io ns sw itch off when
driving in reve rse.
- Th e pre sense f unct io ns m ay no t be ava ila ­
ble i f th ere is a ma lfunct ion in the ESC sys ­
tem or t he airbag control module .
-Note that the reve rsib le belt tens ione r o n
the front passenger 's side deactivates when
the front passenger's airbag is deactivated.
- Switch the pre sense off when yo u are not
using public streets or when loading the ve ­
hicle onto a vehicle carrier, train, ship or
other type of transportat ion. This can pre­
vent an undesired intervention from the pre
sense system.
Audi pre sense basic
App lies to: vehicles wit h Audi pre sense basic
The pre se nse bas ic functions are activated at a
speed of approx imately 20 mp h (30 km/h) o r
highe r.
The following functions ca n be triggered u nder
certain co nd it io ns w it hi n the lim its of the sys­
tem:
- Tensioning of the safety belts (for examp le,
during heavy brak ing) : the front safety belts
have reversible belt te nsioners . If a collision
does not occur , the safety belts loosen slig htly
and are ready to tr igger aga in.

Intelligent Technology
Intelligent Technology Electronic Stabilization
Control (ESC)
Description
Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) supports
driver safety. It reduces the risk of slipping and improves driving stability. ESC detects critica l sit­
uations such as when the vehicle is oversteering
and understeering or the wheels are spinning.
The vehicle is stabilized by applying the brakes or
reducing eng ine torque. When the ESC engages,
the
D.1 ind icator light blinks in the instrument
cluste r.
The follow ing systems are integrated in the ESC:
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking when brak ­
ing. The vehicle can still be steered even during
hard braking. Apply steady pressure to the brake
pedal. Do not pump the pedal. A pulsing in the
brake pedal indicates that the system is acting to
stabilize the vehicle .
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can decrease braking dis­
tance. It increases braking power when the driver
presses the brake pedal quickly in emergency sit­
uations . You must press and hold the brake pedal
until the dangerous situat ion is over . In veh icles
with adapt ive c ruise control*, the brake assist
system is more sensitive if the distance detected
t o the vehicle dr iv ing ahead is too small.
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
ASR reduces engine power when the drive wheels
beg in sp inning and adapts the force to the road
conditions . This makes it easie r to start, acceler­
ate and dr ive up hill s.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
EDL applies the brakes to a wheel that starts
spinning and transfers the drive power to the
other driving wheels. This funct ion is not availa­
b le at higher speeds.
140
In extreme cases, EDL automatica lly switches off
to keep the brake on the braked whee l from over ­
heating. The vehicle is still working correctly. ED L
will switch on again automatically when condi­
tions have returned to normal.
Power steering
The ESC can also support vehicle stability
through steering .
Selective wheel torque control
Selective wheel torque control is used when driv­
in g on curves. Brak ing is targeted toward the
whee ls on the inside of the curve as needed. This
a llows more precise driving in curves.
Automatic post-collision braking system
The "automatic post-collis io n braking system"
can help to reduce the risk of sl iding and of addi­
tional collisions after an accident. If the airbag
contro l modu le detects a collision, the vehicle is
braked by the ESC.
The vehicle does not brake automatically if:
-the driver presses the accelerator pedal, or
-the ESC, the brake system or the veh icle electri-
cal system are not functioning.
A WARNING
-The ESC and its integrated systems cannot
overcome the lim its imposed by natura l
p hys ical laws. Th is is espec ially impo rtant
on slippery or wet roads. If the systems be­
gin acting to stabilize your vehicle, you
should immediately alter your speed to
match the road and traffic conditions. Do
not let the increased safety provided tempt
you into taking risks. This could increase
your r isk of a coll is ion.
-Please note the risk of a collision increases
when dr iv ing fast, especially through curves
and on slippery or wet roads, and when dr iv­
ing too close to objects ahead . The ESC and
its integrated systems cannot always pre­
ve nt co llisions
-there is still a risk of acci­
dents!

u co ..... N r--­N ..... 0 <( 0 00
Replacing tires
F or vehicles w it h all whee l dr ive, only wheels w ith
the same ro lling circumference should be used .
Avoid using tires with different tread depths
~ page 332, New tires or wheels.
A WARNING
- Also, in vehicles with all wheel drive, adapt your dr iv ing style to the current road and
traff ic conditions. Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into tak ing risks,
because th is increases the r isk of an acci­
dent .
- The braking ability of your veh icle is limited
to the tract ion of the wheels. In this way, it
is not diffe rent from a two wheel dr ive vehi­
cle. Do not be tempted to accelerate to a
high speed when the road is slippery, be­
cause this increases the risk of an accident.
- Note that on wet streets, the front wheels
can "hydroplane" if driving at speeds that
are too high . Unlike front whee l drive
vehicles, the engine does not rev higher sud­
denly when the vehicle begins hydroplaning.
For this reason, adapt your speed to the
road conditions to reduce the risk of an acc i­
dent .
Energy management
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent ener­
gy management system for distributing electrici­
ty . This s ignificantly improves the starting ab ility
and increases the vehicle battery life .
(D Tips
- If you drive short distances frequently, the
vehicle battery may not charge enough
while dr iving . As a resu lt, convenience func­
tions for elect rical equipment may be tem­
porarily unavailable.
- The vehicle battery will gradua lly drain if
the vehicle is not driven fo r long pe riods of
time, or if electrical equipment is used
when the engine is not running . To ensure
that the vehicle can still be started, the electrica l equipment will be reduced or
switched off.
Intelligent Technology
Notice about data
recorded by the Event
Data Recorder and
vehicle control modules
Event Data Recorder
T his vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Re­
corder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa­
tions, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understand­
ing how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data related to vehicle dy ­
nam ics and safety systems for a short per iod of
t ime, typ ically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data as:
- How various systems in your vehicle were oper­
ating;
- Whether or not the driver and passenger safety
belts were buckled/fastened;
- How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
- How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understand­
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and in ­
juries occur. NO TE: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driv ing cond itions and no personal data (e.g .,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are re­
corded. However, othe r parties, such as law en­
forcement, could comb ine t he EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely ac­
quired during a crash investigation.
T o read data recorded by an EDR, special equip­
ment is required, and access to the vehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to th e ve hicle manu­
facturer, other parties, such as law en forcement,
that have the special equipment, can read the in ­
formation if they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR.
Some state laws restrict the retrieval or down­
l oading of data stored by ED Rs installed in a vehi ­
cle for the express purpose of retrieving data af­
ter an accident or crash event without the own- er 's consent .
II>-
145

Intelligent Technology
Audi will not access the EDR and/or similar data
or give it to others -
- unless the vehicle owner (or lessee if the vehi­
cle has been leased) agrees; or
- upon the official request by the police; or
- upon the order of a court of law or a govern-
ment agency; o r
- for the defense of a lawsu it through the judicial
discovery process .
- Audi may also use the data for research about
vehicle operation and safety performance or provide the data to a third party for resea rch
purposes without identifying the specific vehi­
cle or information about the identity of its own­
er or lessee and on ly after the recorded vehicle
data has been accessed.
Vehicle control modules
Your veh icle is also equipped with a num ber of
e lectronic control modules for various veh icle
systems, s uch as engine management, emission
control, airbags, and safety belts.
These electro nic cont rol modules record data
du ring normal vehicle operation that may be
needed by trained technicians for diagnostic and
repair purposes. The recording capability of these
modules is limited to data (no sound is record­
ed). Only a small amount of data is actually re­
corded over a very limited period of time, or stor­
ed when a system fault is detected by a control module . Some of the data stored may relate to
veh icle speed, direct ion, or brak ing, as well as re­
stra int system use and performance in the event
of a crash . Stored data can also only be read and
downloaded with special equipment that is di­
rectly connected to the vehicle.
(D Tips
Your vehicle may be equipped with Audi con­
nect. Your use of certain Audi connect fea­
tures requires wireless services that are pro­
vided by a third party wire less te lecommuni­
cations provider . For detai ls regarding how in­
formation obtained through Audi connect is collected, processed, transmitted, used, and
shared, please see your contract with the
w ireless telecommunications provider.
