:E: ' Snow chains
If there are snow cha in laws, snow chains must
a lso be used on vehicles with a ll wheel drive
¢ page 349, Snow chains .
Replacing tires
For vehicles w ith all wheel dr ive, only whee ls w ith
the same ro lling circumference shou ld be used .
Avoid using tires w ith different tread depths
¢ page 340, New tires or wheels .
.&_ WARNING
-Also, in vehicles with all wheel drive, adapt
yo ur 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
cl e. Do not be tempted to accelerate to a
high speed when the road is slippe ry, be­
ca use this increases the risk of an accident.
- Note that on wet streets, the front wheels
can "hyd roplane" if d riving at speeds that
are too high . Unlike front whee l drive
vehicles, the engine does not rev higher su d­
denly when the vehicle begins hyd roplaning .
For this reason, adapt your speed to the
road conditions to reduce the risk of an acc i­
dent .
Energy management
The starting ability is optimized
The energy management system manages the
electrical energy distribution and optimizes the
availability of electrical energy for starting the
engine.
W hen a ve hicle w ith a convent ional energy sys­
tem is not driven for a long tim e, the vehicle bat ­
t ery is dra ined by equipment (fo r example, the
i mmobilizer). In certain circumstances, there
could may not be enoug h energy to start the en­
gine .
Intellig ent Technology
Your vehicle is equipped with an intell igent ener­
gy management system for dist ributing electrici ­
ty . Th is sign ificantly improves the start ing ability
and increases the vehicle battery life.
T he ene rgy management system Is made up of
battery diagnosi s, idling cu rrent management ,
and dynamic energy management .
Battery diagnosis
T he battery diagnos is determines the vehicle ba t­
te ry charge level. The sensors determine the bat­
te ry vo ltage, the batte ry cu rrent, and the battery
temperat ure. The cur rent charge level and the
performa nee of the vehicle battery a re deter ­
mined based on this.
Idling current management
T he idling cur rent management decreases the
energy used while parked . With the engine
switched off, it ma nages the energy distribution
to the d ifferent e lectr ica l components . Data from
the battery d iagnosis is taken into account for
th is.
Depending on the vehicle battery charge level,
electrical equ ipment is switched off one item af­
ter the other to prevent the vehicle battery from
dra ining and to ma intain the starting ab ility .
Dynamic energy manag ement
While driving, dynamic energy management dis ­
t ributes the appropr iate amo unt of energy to the
electrical eq uipment. It contro ls the battery
charge level so that the amount of energy is not
greater than the amount being generated in or­
der to maintain an optimal vehicle battery charge
level.
(0 Tips
- Energy management cannot overcome the
laws of physics . Note that the charge level
and length of the veh icle bat tery life are
limited.

Intelligent Technology
What you should know
Maintaining the starting ability is the highest
priority .
A lot of stress is placed on the vehicle battery
when dr iv ing short d istances, dur ing c ity dr iving,
and at cold times of the year . A lot of energy is
used but little is gene rated .
It is also critical
when the engine is not ru nning but e lectr ica l
eq uipment is swi tched o n. In this case , energy is
used bu t none is generated.
In s ituations like this, energy management will
actively regu late the d istribution of ene rgy.
Long pe riods without use
If you do not drive your vehicle for several days or
weeks, e lectrical equipment is gradually scaled
back or switched off . This reduces energy use and
ensu res t he veh icle w ill be able to sta rt afte r long
pe riods of time. Some convenience functions ,
such as inte rior lighting or powe r seat adjust­
men t, may not be available under ce rta in ci rc u m­
s tances. These convenience functions will be
ava ilable aga in once you switch the ign ition on
and start the engine .
With the engine switched off
The vehicle battery will d rain if yo u use I nfota in ­
ment functions such as listening to the rad io
while the engine is switched
off .
If t he ve hicle's ability to s tart may be impaired by
the energy use, a message will appear in the In ­
fotainmen t system disp lay . T he message indi­
ca tes that the system wi ll switch off automatica l­
ly soon. If you would like to continue using the
functions, yo u m ust start the eng ine.
With the engine running
A lthough elect rical energy is generated whi le
d riving, the vehicle battery can d rain. This can
happen if little energy is generated but much is
used, and the charge level of the veh icle battery
is not optima l.
To restore the balance of energy, components
that require large amounts of energy are tempo­ rarily sca led back or switched
off . Heating sys­
tems in part icu lar require a great deal of energy .
154
If you notice, for example, that the seat heating*
or rear window defogger is not working, then it has been temporarily reduced or switched
off.
These systems are availab le again as soon as the
energy supply has been restored.
In addition, you may notice that the idle speed
has slight ly increased . That is normal and no
cause for concern. By increasing the idling speed,
the addit ional required energy will be generated
and the vehicle battery w ill be charged .
Notice about data
recorded by the Event
Data Recorder and
vehicle control modules
E v ent Data Recorder
This vehicle is equ ipped 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 hitt ing a
r oad obstacle, data that will ass ist in understand­
i ng how a vehi cle's systems pe rformed. The EDR
i s des igned to record data related to vehicle dy­
nam ics and safe ty systems for a short per iod of
time, typica lly 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data as:
- How va rious systems in yo ur vehicle were ope r­
a ting;
- Whethe r or not the d rive r and passenger safety
belts were buckled/fastened;
- How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
acceler ator and/or bra ke pedal; a nd,
- How fast the vehicle was traveling .
These data can help provide a better understand­ i ng of the c ircumstances in wh ich crashes a nd in­
juries occur . NOTE : EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle on ly if a non-tr iv ial crash situation occurs;
no data are re co rded by the E DR unde r no rma l
driv ing cond itions and no persona l da ta (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are re­
corded. However, other parties, such as law en­
forcement, could combine the EDR data with the
type of persona lly identifying data rout inely ac-
quired during a crash investigation . ..,.

Other things that can affect Advanced
Airbag performance
Changing the vehicle's suspension system can
change the way that the Advanced Airbag System
performs in a crash . For example, using tire-r im
comb inat ions not approved by Audi, lowering the
ve hicl e, chang ing the s tiffness of the suspens io n,
in clud ing the spr ings, suspens ion str uts, shock
absor bers et c. can change the forces that are
measured by the airbag sensors and sent to the
e lectronic contro l unit. Some suspension changes
can, for example, increase the force levels meas­
ured by the sensors and make the airbag system
deploy in crashes in which it would not deploy if
the changes had not been made. Other ki nds of
changes may reduce the fo rce levels meas ured by
the sensors and prevent the airbag from deploy­ in g when i t should .
Airbag sys tem
A WARNING ,-
Changing the vehicle's suspension including
use of unapproved tire-rim combinations can
change Advanced Airbag performance and in­
crease the risk of serious personal injury in a
crash.
- Never install suspension components that
do not have the same pe rformance charac­
teristics as the components o rigina lly ins tal­
led on your vehicle.
- Never use tire-rim combinations t hat have
not been approved by Audi.
