Ass is tan ce sys tems
-Due to the interlinking of various vehicle sys­
tems, critica l driving situations can be detected
by
pr e se nse basic and measures for preventa­
tive occupant protection are can be initiated.
- The
pre sen se fro nt system uses the data from
the adapt ive cruise control* radar sensors and
the camera to calculate the probability of a col­ lis ion. Within the limits of the system, an im­
pending collision with vehicles can be detected
i n both urban and rural speed ranges. In this
case, the system warns the dr iver visually,
acoustically and with a jerk on the brakes if nec­
essary.
If needed, it can initiate a pa rtial or fu ll
deceleration to reduce the co llision speed or to
avoid the collision under certain circumstances .
In conjunction with pre sense basic/rear, the
front safety belts are also reversibly tensioned
when needed. The pre sense front is also active
when adapt ive cruise control* is switched off.
- Pre se nse re ar contains pre sense basic func­
tions. It uses the data from the side assist" ra­
dar sensors and calculates within the limits of
the system the probab ility of a rear end coll i­
s ion with the vehicle behind you . Pre sense rear
is also active when s ide assist* is swit ched off.
- Within the limits of the system,
pre sense city
uses the camera data and ca n detect a n im­
pending coll ision with veh icles and pedest rians.
In this case, the system warns the driver vis ual­
ly, acoustically and with a jerk on the brakes if
necessary. If needed, it can initiate a fu ll decel­
eration to reduce the co llision speed or to avoid
the coll is ion under certain circumstances. In
conjunction w ith pre sense bas ic/rear, the front
safety belts are also revers ibly tensioned when
needed .

ble if there is a malfunction in the ESC sys­
tem o r the a irbag control module .
- Note that the reversible belt tensioner on
the front passenger's side deactivates when
the front passenger's airbag is deactivated.
- Switch the pre sense off when you are not
using public streets or when load ing the ve­
hicle onto a vehicle carrier, tra in, sh ip or
other type of transportat ion. This can pre­
vent an undesired intervention from the pre
sense system.

about the danger.
If you do not react enough or not at all to a dan­
ge rous situation that was detected by the sys­
tem, pre sense front provides assistance by ap­
p ly ing the brakes.
If a collis ion is imminent, the system w ill first
provide an
acute warning by braking sharp ly. You
will also warned by an ind icator in the instrument

are not braking strongly enough when a collis ion
is imminent, it can increase the braking force .
The following functions trigger in conjunc tion
with pre sense basic/rear at corresponding vehi ­
cle speeds :
- Reversible tensioning of the front safety belts. - Closing the windows and sunroof*.
- Inflating the side bolsters* in the seat backrest
and seat surface.
Audi dr ive select*: the reversible belt tensioner,
the closing of the windows and s unroof* as we ll

Evasive steering support
Evasiv e steering support helps you to steer the
vehicle around an obstacle in a critical situation.
If you avoid an obstacle after the acute warning,
then the evasive steering support assists you by applying slight steering adjustment to correct
your steering wheel angle as long as you are ac­
t ively steer ing. Evasive steer ing support is availa­
ble at speeds between approximately 20 mph
(30 km/h) and 90 mph (150 km/h) .
Turn assist
When starting to drive and up to speeds of maxi­
mum 6 mph (10 km/h), the turn assist uses a
braking intervention to prevent your ve hicle from
colliding w ith an oncoming vehicle when turning
left or r ight (ava ilable in certa in countries). The
braking intervention causes your vehicle to stay
i n its lane . ..,.

b le braking maneuver if needed. Pre sense city is
active at speeds of approximately 6 mph (10 km/ h) and higher.
A pedestrian warning can occur at speeds up to
50 mph (85 km/h), and vehicle warnings can oc­
cur at speeds up to 155 mph (250 km/h). A pre
sense city braking maneuver is possible at speeds
up to SO mph (85 km/h).
Warnings
A ppl ies to: ve hicles with Audi pre sense c ity
The system recognizes various dangerous situa­
tions . The
early warning occurs if:
- a vehicle driving ahead brakes suddenly,
- your own vehicle approaches a significantly
slower vehicle or stationary vehicle in the direc­
tion of travel.
- a pedestrian is standing in the lane or is moving

Additionally, a jerk on the brakes may occur as an
acute warning when there is an impending colli­
sion. If you do not react to the acute warning, pre
sense city can brake to the point of complete de­
celeration within the limits of the system. This reduces the vehicle speed in the event of a colli ­
sion. The message

A WARNING
--Pre sense city cannot overcome the laws of
physics. It is a system designed to assist and it cannot prevent a collision in every circum­
stance . The dr iver must always intervene.
The driver is always responsible for braking
at the correct time. Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into taking risks.
This could increase your risk of a coll is ion.
- The system can dep loy incorrectly due to
system-specific limits.
- To reduce the r isk of an accident, please
note that the camera does not always detect
eve ry object.
- Pre sense city does not react to animals,
crossing or oncoming veh icles, objects such
as bars, railin gs or railcars, and objects that
are difficult to detect¢.&.

Electronic stabilization
control (ESC)
Description
Elect ronic stabilization control (ESC) supports
driver safety.
It red uces the risk of slipping and
improves driving stability. ESC detects crit ica 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 torq ue. When the ESC engages,
the
DJ ind icator light blinks in the instrument
cluste r.
The fo llow ing systems are integrated in the ESC:
Ant i-loc k bra king system (ABS)
ABS prevents the whee ls from locking when brak­
ing. The vehicle can sti ll be steered even during
hard brak ing. Apply steady pressure to the brake
pedal. Do not pump the pedal. A puls ing in the
brake pedal indicates that the system is acting to
stabilize the vehicle .
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can decrease brak ing dis­
tance . It increases braking power when the driver
presses the brake pedal quick ly in emergency sit­
uations . You must press and hold the b rake pedal
until the dangerous situat io n is over . In veh icles
with adapt ive cr uise control*, the bra ke assist
sys tem is more sensitive if the d ista nce detec ted
t o the vehicle dr iv ing ahead is too small.
O n ve hicles w ith act ivated and funct io ni ng night
vision assist*, the brake ass ist system ca n re­
spond more sens it ively if there is a warning.
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR )
ASR reduces eng ine power when the drive wheels
begin spinning a nd adap ts the force to the road
conditions . This makes it easie r to start, acceler­
ate and dr ive up h ills.
Electron ic differential lock (EDL )
EDL applies the brakes to a wheel that starts
spinning and transfers the drive power to the
148
other driving whee ls. This function is not avai la ­
ble at higher speeds.
In extreme cases , ED L automat ica lly swi tches off
to keep t he b rake on the braked wheel from over ­
heating. The veh icle is still working correct ly. ED L
will switch on again automatically when condi­
tions have returned to normal.
Steering recommendat ion
The ESC he lps to stabilize the vehicle by chang ing
t h e s teer ing torque.
Select ive wheel torque control
Se lective wheel to rque cont rol is used when d riv­
i ng on curves. Braking is targeted toward the
whee ls on the inside of the curve as needed . T his
a ll ows mo re precise dr iving in cu rves .
Automatic post -collision braking system
The "automat ic post -collis io n braking system"
can help to reduce the risk of sliding and of addi­
tiona l co llisions after an acc ident. If the a irbag
contro l modu le detects a collision, the veh icle is
braked by the ESC.
The veh icle does not brake automatically if:
- the driver presses the accelerator pedal, or
- the ESC, the brake system or the veh icle elect ri-
cal system are not functioning.
A WARNING
- The ESC and its integrated systems cannot
overcome the lim its imposed by natura l
phys ical laws . This is espec ially important
on s lippery or wet roads . If the systems be­
gi n ac ting to stabilize yo ur vehicle, you
should immediately a lter your speed to
match the road and traffic conditions. Do
not let the inc reased 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 driving 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
vent co llisions -there is st ill a risk of acci­
dents!

Intelligent Technology
_&. WARNING
You should only switch offroad mode on or
switch ESC/ ASR off if your driving abilities
and the traff ic conditions perm it. There is a
r isk of slid ing.
- The stabilization function is limited when
offroad mode is switched on. The driving
wheels co uld spin and the vehicle could
swerve , especially on slick or slippery road
surfaces.
- T here is no vehicle stab ilizat ion when ESC/
ASR are switched off .
Hill descent assist
Hill descent assist makes it possible to drive
down a hill at a constant speed.
Fig. 155 Center console: hill descent ass ist button
.. To switch hill descent assist on, press the 1-

button. The LED in the button turns on.
.. Press the button again to switch it off. The LED
in the button turns off.
Hill descent assist brakes all four wheels auto­
matically in order to limit speed when driving ei­
ther forward or reverse on hills with a grade from approximately 6 to 60%. The wheels w ill not lock
up because the ABS remains activated.
When hill descent assist is on, the speed your ve­
hicle was traveling when it entered the hill is maintained. The assist begins shortly after you
start driv ing and continues up to approximately
19 mph (30 km/h). The driver can increase or de­
crease the vehicle speed w ith in these limits by
pressing the accelerato r or brake pedal.
H owever, there must be enough traction. Hill de­
scent assist
cannot function as expected, if for
150
example the hill is icy or if the surface is loose
~ & .
Active regulat ion of a speed up to approximately
19 mph (30 km/h) is signaled in the instrument
cluster by an indicator light •. T he indicator
light turns on when in the ready mode.
II.
The system does not work at speeds above ap­
proximately 19 mph (30 km/h). The system is
then in ready-mode . This is indicated by the LED
in the button turning on.
Hill descent assist is automatically activated un­
der the following conditions:
- the LED in the button turns on
- the vehicle speed is lower than 19 mph (30 km/
h)
-the hill angle is at least approximately 6%
_&. WARNING
-
- Always adapt your speed to the weather,
road and traffic conditions. Do not let the
increased safety provided tempt you into
taking risks, because this increases the risk
of an accident.
- The hill descent assist system cannot over­
come the laws of phys ics. Your driving style
must always be adapted to the current road
and traffic cond itions .
- Hill descent assist may not be able to hold
your vehicle at a constant speed under all
conditions while driving on a hill (for exam­
ple if ground under the vehicle is loose).
Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not achieve their full braking
effect during the first 250 mi (400 km). They
must be "broken in" first. However, you can com­
pensate for the slightly reduced braking force by
pressing f irmly on the brake pedal. Avo id heavy
braking during the break-in period.
Wear
Brake pad wear depends largely on the way the
vehicle is driven and on operating conditions .
This is especially true if you are driv ing frequent ly

Operating noise
Noises may occur when bra king depend ing o n the
speed, b raking force and ou ts ide cond itions su ch
as tempe rature and humidity.
W et conditions or road salt
In ce rtain s ituat ions, for example after dr iving
through water, in heavy ra in or afte r washing
your car, the bra king effect may be reduced due
to moisture or ice on t he b rake ro to rs and br ake
pads . The br akes mus t be "dried" f irs t with a few
careful brake applications .
At highe r speeds and with the windsh ie ld w ipers
turned o n, the br ake p ads press against the br ake
r otors for a short amoun t of time . This action,
which is not felt by the driver, happens at regular intervals and ens ures a better reaction time for
the brakes in wet weather.
The braking effe ct can also be reduced if you are
d riving on salted roads and you do not apply t he
brakes for long periods of time . The layer of salt
on the bra ke rotors and pads must be worn off
f irst when the brakes are app lied.
Cor rosion
L eaving the vehicle par ked for long pe riods of
time, low mi leage and avoiding heavy braking
can cont ribute to corrosion on the brake rotors
and to dirty brake pads.
If you usually avo id heavy b raking or if there is
corrosion present, occasional heavy braking at h igh speeds is recommended to clean the brake
rotors and pads¢
A.
Brake system malfunct ion
If yo u no tic e th at the brake peda l travel has sud­
denly
increased, then a brake c ircuit in the dual­
circuit brake system may have malfunctioned. Drive to an aut ho rized Aud i dea le r or a uth orized
Aud i Service Facility immediately to have the
problem corrected. On the way there, drive with
reduced speed and keep in mi nd that you w ill
need a longer dista nce to stop and you w ill need
to p ress the b rake pedal harde r.
Intellig ent Technology
Low brake fluid level
When the br ake fluid level is low, malfu nctions in
the brake system may occur . The brake fluid level
is electronically monitored .
Brake booster
The brake booster ampl ifies t he p ress ure you ap­
ply to the brake pedal.
A WARNING
- Onl y ap ply the bra kes for the purpose o f
cleaning the brake sys tem when road and
traffic conditions permit. You must not en­
danger other roa d users . This increases the
risk of an accident.
-
- Never let the ve hicle roll while the engine is
stopped because this increases the risk of an
accident.
(D Note
- Never let the brakes "rub" by pressing the
peda l lightly when braking is not actually
necessary. This causes the b rakes to over­
heat and increases braking distance and
causes wear.
- Before driving downhill a long distance on a
steep hill, decrease your speed and select a
lower gear . This makes use of the engi ne
bra king effec t and relieves the brakes. If
you need to bra ke ad ditio na lly, bra ke in in­
t erva ls and not continuously.
(D Tips
- If the brake boos ter is not work ing , you
must press t he b rake peda l w ith much more
force than normal.
- If you retrofit your vehicle with a front s po il­
er, wheel covers or sim ila r i tems, make su re

- To reduce the risk of cuts, protect yourself
from sharp metal components when wash­
ing the underbody or the inside of the wheel
housings .
- After washing the vehicle, the brak ing effect
may be delayed due to mo isture on the
brake rotors or ice in the w inter . This in­
creases the risk of an acc ident. The brakes
must be d ried fi rst w ith a few careful b rake
applications.
(D Note
- If you wash t he vehicle in an automatic car

- T o red uce the risk of pa int damage, do not
was h the vehicle in d irect sun light .
- T o red uce the risk of d am age to the s urf ace,
do not use insect removing sponges, k itche n
sponges or similar items .
- Mat te finish painted veh icle components:
- To reduce the risk of damage to the sur-

- Never use protective wax. It can destroy
the matte finish effect .
- Do not place any stickers or magnetic
signs on vehicle parts painted with matte
finish paint . The paint cou ld be damaged
when the stickers or magne ts are re­
moved .
@ For the sake of the environment
Only wash t he vehicle in facilities s pec ially de­

:E @ Tips
The discharged battery must be properly con­
nected to the vehicle's electrical system .
When jump starting or charg ing the battery,
never connect the negative ground cable to
the battery negative post because the battery
manager system must be able to detect the
battery's state of charge. Always connect the
negative ground cable to the negative ground
post of the battery manager control unit.
Using the jump start
cable
Both jump start cables must be connected in the
correct order!
