- Push the lever to the minus position Q.
When accelerating, the transm ission w ill automatically shift into
gears 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 before the engine reaches its maximum RPM .
I f you apply a light throttle when accelerating, tiptronic ® will auto
matically shift from 1st to 2nd gea r to save fuel. If you apply a heavy
throttle, the transmission will stay in 1st gear until near maximum
RPM is reached, or until the driver shifts into 2nd gear.
If you take your foot off the accelerator pedal when driv ing down a
st eep incline, tiptronic ® will downshift from the selected gear into
the next lower gear until it reaches 1st gear, based on road speed and
e ngine RPM. Automatic downsh ifting is interrupted as soon as you
apply the throttle again.
[ i ] Tips
• When you shift into the next lower gear, the transmission will
downshift on ly when there is no possibility of over-rewing the
engine.
• When the kick -down comes on, the transmission will shift down to
a lower gear, depending on vehicle and engine speeds.
• tiptronic ® is inoperative when the transmission is in the fail-safe
mode. •

Chassis controls
Five different driving modes can be set by the driver.
The automatic control processes are speed- and time-dependent. For
example, it is not possible to raise the suspension to a high level
above certain speeds.
When a speed of about 75 mph (120 km/h) is exceeded for more than
30 seconds, the vehicle is automatically lowered to
low level when in
comfort and automatic mode. Ground clearance is about 0.6 inch (15
mm) less, compared to the
normal level.
When a speed of about 100 mph (160 km/h) is exceeded for more
than 20 seconds, the vehicle is automatically lowered to
highway
level
when in automatic and dynamic mode . Ground clearance is
about 1.4 inches (35 mm) less, compared to the
normal level. Road
holding is optimized as a resu lt of the lower center of gravity, and fuel
consumption is reduced as a result of reduced wind resistance .

New brake pads
Remember that new brake pads do not have a f ull braki ng
e ff e ct during the first 250 miles (400 kilometers) after they
are i nsta lle d.
New bra ke pads have to be "b urnished in" before they have opt ima l
grab=> &.
Dur ing the break -in period, you sho uld avoid putting severe loads on
the brakes. Severe loads incl ude, for example, sudden hard braki ng,
in particu lar at very high s peeds or, for examp le, on mountai n passes.
& WARNING
New brake pads don 't have the be st stopping power and must be
" broken -in " during the initial 100 to 150 miles (150 to 200 kilo
meters ) of normal cit y driving. You can compensate for thi s by
pressing th e brak e pedal more firmly. This also applies lat er wh en

<£> For the sake of the environment
Even when the Emiss ion Contro l System is operating properly, the
exhaust gas can have a sulfur-like exhaust gas sme ll under some

Operate your vehicle economically
and minimize pollution
General
Your personal style of driving will det ermine the economy
of your vehicle, as well as exhaust and noise levels.
Fuel economy, env ironmenta l im pact , and wea r on your e ng ine,
brakes and tires largely depend on t hree factors:
• your person al driv in g style
• operating conditions
• techni cal lim itations
If you anticipate what you need to do next and drive economically,
you can e asily cut you r fu el consum ptio n by 10- 15 pe rcen t. T his

Driving and environment
Drive smoothly and keep a lookout ahead
Vehicles use the most fuel when they are accelerating.
- Avo id unnecessary acce lerating and braking .
Vehicles use the most fuel when they are accelerati ng. If you antici
pate what is going to happen next, you will need to brake less and,
thus , accelerate less. Let the vehicle coast whenever possible - for
example when you see that the next traffic light is red. •
Avoid full throttle
Driving at moderate speeds saves fuel and improves your
mileage.
- Try and keep well below your car's maximum speed.
Accelerating gently reduces fuel consumption, engine wear, and does
not disturb the environment.
Fuel consumption , exhaust emiss ions and eng ine no ise increase
disproportionately at high speeds. If you drive at approximately three
quarters of top speed, fuel consumption w ill be reduced by one ha lf.
Never drive faster than the posted speed limit and weather condi
tions pe rm it. •
Reducing unnecessary idling
Even when your car is just idling it burns up fuel.
- Shut the eng ine off when you are not driving the vehicle.
- Do not warm up the vehicle by letting the eng ine run at
idle .
It makes sense to shu t off t he eng ine in traffic jams, when wa it ing for
tra ins to pass at railroad crossings, or at traffic lights that have long waits on red
. Turning the eng ine off for just 30-40 seconds saves
more f uel than is burned start ing the engine aga in.
It takes a long t ime for the engine to warm up fully when it is ru nning
at idle . However, wear and noxious emissions are especia lly high
when the eng ine is wa rming up. So you shou ld drive away as soon as
you start the engine and avoid running at high rpms while the engine
is still warming up .
0 Note
Do not leave engine idling unattended afte r start ing. If warning
lights should come on to indicate improper operation, they would go
unheeded. Extended idling also produces heat, which cou ld result in
overhea ting or other damage to the vehicle or other property. •
Regular maintenance
A badly tuned engine unnecessarily wastes a lot of fuel.
- Have your vehicle serviced at regular intervals.
By having your vehicle regularly serv iced by an authorized Aud i dealer
helps to ensure that it runs properly and economically. The condition
of your vehicle not only affects its safe ty and ability to hold its value,
it a lso affects fuel con sumption .
Che ck your o il e ach time you fill your t ank.
T he amo unt of oil used is related to engine load and speed.
It is normal for the o il consumption of a new engine to reach its
lowest val ue afte r a certa in m ileage has been d riven.
You must drive your veh icle about 3,000 m iles (5,000 kilometers)
before you can properly assess oi l consumption .

Fewer short trips
F uel consumptio n will always be relatively high on short
trips .
-Try to avoi d drivi ng s ho rt dis tances wit h a cold engine .
The engine and catalytic converter have to reach their optima l oper
ating temperature
t o reduce f uel consum ptio n a nd noxio us em is
sions effectively.
Just after starting, a cold engine in a mid -s ize car on ly achieves a fuel
economy of 6-8 m iles per gallon (30- 40 l/l00km) . After about a ha lf
a mile, fuel economy climbs to 12 mpg (20 l/100 km). After abo ut
2 .5 m iles ( 4 km), t he engine i s at its p rop er operat ing temper ature
and fue l economy has reached a normal level. So yo u can see that you
sho uld avoi d short t rips whenever possible.

Gasoline
Using the right fuel helps keep the environment clean and
prevents engine damage.
Fuel recommendation
The fuel recommended for you r vehicle is unleaded premium grade
gasoline . See also~
page 363, "Data". Audi recommends using TOP
TIE R Detergent Gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 91 AKI (95
RON) . For more information on TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, please
go to the official website (www.toptiergas .com).
Th e recommended gasoline octane rating for your engine can also be
found on a labe l located on the inside of the fue l filler flap. This rating
may be specified as AK I o r RON.
Your vehicle may also be operated using unleaded regular gasoline
with a minim um octane rating of 87 AKl/91 RON . However, using 87
AKl/91 RON octane fuel will slightly reduce engine performance .
Use unleaded gasoline only. Unleaded gasoline is available
throughout the USA, Canada, and in most European countries. We
recommend that you do not take your vehicle to areas or countries
where unleaded gasoline may not be availab le.
For more information on refueling your vehicle, see~
page 289.
Octane rating
Octane rating indicates a gasoline's ability to resist engine damag ing
" kno ck" caused by prematu re ignition and detonation. Therefore,
buying the correct grade of gasoline is very important to help prevent
possible engine damage and a loss of engine performance.
Safety first
Gaso line most commonly used in the United States and Canada has
the following octane ratings that can usually be found on the filler
pump:
• Premium Grade: 91 - 96 AKI
• Regular Grade: 87 - 90 AKI
E xplanation of the abb reviations :
AKI= Anti Knock Index= (R +M)/2 = (RON+MON)/2
RON= Research Octane Number
MON= Moto r Octane Number.
0 Note
• Do not use any fuel with octane ratings lower than 87 AKI or 91
RON otherwise expens ive engine damage will occur.
• Do
not use leaded gasoline . T he use of leaded gasoline w ill
