Driving
General information
Breaking in
A new vehicle must be broken in for the first 1,000 mi les (1,500 km). Do not dr ive at speeds
t hat will exceed 2/3 of the max imum pe rm itted
engine speed (RPM) for the first 600 miles
(1,000 km), and avoid fu ll acceleration during
this period . You may gradually start increasing
the RPM and the speed between 600 miles
(1,000 km) and 1,000 miles (1,500 km) .
During the first hours of use, the engine has a
higher internal friction than later on when all
moving parts have settled into place with each
other.
How the vehicle is driven d uring the first 1,000
miles (1,500 km) a lso affects the engine quality .
Drive at moderate engine speeds after the initial
break-in per iod, part icu larly when running a cold
eng ine . Th is will reduce eng ine wear and improve
the m ileage.
Do not drive at too low of an engine speed (RPM) .
Shift down if the engine stops running "smooth­ ly". Extremely high eng ine speeds are automati­
cally reduced .
Reducing the risk of vehicle damage
@ Note
When driving on poo r roads, by cu rbs and on
s teep ramps, make su re t hat low-hang ing
compone nts such as the spo ile r and exha ust
system do not come into contact with these
or they could be damaged. This especially ap ­
plies to vehicles with low ground clearance
and veh icles that are heavily loaded.
Driving through water on roads
Note the following to reduce the r isk of vehicle
damage when driv ing through water, for example
on flooded roads :
- The water must not be any higher than the bot­
tom of the vehicle body .
74
-Do not drive faster than walking speed .
A WARNING
After driving through water or m ud, the effec­
tiveness of the brakes may be red uced due to
mo isture on the brake rotors and brake pads.
A few careful brake applications shou ld dry
off the brakes and restore the full braking ef­
fect .
@ Note
- Vehicle components such as the eng ine,
transmiss ion, suspens ion or electrical sys-
tem can be severely damaged by drivi ng
throug h water .
- Always switch the Start/Stop system* off
when driv ing through water¢ page 79.
(D Tips
-Determine the depth before driving throug h
water.
- Do not stop the vehicle, drive in reverse or
switch t he engine off when driving through
water.
- Keep in mind that oncom ing vehicles may
create waves that raise the water level and
make it too deep fo r yo ur vehicle to drive
throug h safe ly.
- Avoid dr iv ing through salt water, beca use
this can cause corrosion .
Economical and environmentally-friendly
driving
The amou nt o f fuel consumption, the environ ­
mental impact and the wear to the engine,
brakes and tires depends mostly on your driving
sty le. With an ant icipatory and economic driving
style, fuel consumpt ion can be reduced by ap­
prox imately 10-15%. The fol low ing t ips will help
you conserve the environment and your money at the same time .
Anticipatory dri ving
A vehicle uses the most fuel when accelerating.
When you drive with anticipation, you do not
need to brake as often and so you acce lerate less .
When poss ible, let your vehicle coast with a gear .,.

::r ' engaged, for example when you notice that t he
next traffic light is red . This produces an engine
b raking effect, wh ich he lps to protect the brakes
and tires and reduces the emissions and f uel con­
sumpt ion to zero (fuel shut-off dur ing decelera­
tion) .
Shift efficientl y
Upshifting earlier is an effective way to save fue l.
Staying in a gear too long uses fue l unnecessari­
ly .
Press down on the acce lerator peda l slowly and
avoid "kick -down".
Avoid full acceleration
You sho uld rare ly t rave l at the maxim um vehicle
speed. High speeds cause a d isp roportiona tely
hi gh increase in fuel consump tion, emissions and
traffic noise . Driving more slowly saves f uel.
Reduce idling time
The Start/Stop system* he lps to reduce the id ling
time automatically. In vehicles wi thout the Sta rt/
Stop system*, it is efficient to switch the engine
off when stopped at ra ilroad crossings and long
red lights . Stopping the engine for
30 -40 sec­
onds already saves more fuel than the amount of
extra fuel needed to restart the eng ine.
I t takes a very long time in idle to wa rm the en­
gine up to operating temperature . Wear and
emissions are especially high in the warm -up
phase. Therefore, you should begin driving im­
mediately after starting the engine. Avoid high
RPMs while do ing th is .
Have maintenance perf ormed regularly
By having maintenance performed regu larly on
your ve hicle, you can he lp to reduce fuel con ­
sumpt ion before you even start to drive. The
maintenance condition of your vehicle not only
affects traffic safety and long-term value but a l­
so impacts fuel consumption . A poorly main­
tained engine can lead to fuel consumpt ion that
i s
1 0% hi gher tha n normal.
Driving
Avoid short trips
T he eng ine and exh aust cleaning system mus t
r each their optima l operat ing temperatu re to ef ­
fectively reduce consumption and emissions.
A cold engine uses a d isp roportionately high
amoun t of fue l. The engine re ac h es operat ing
temperat ure and cons umption norma lizes on ly
after approximate ly 2.5 mi les (4 km) .
Check the tire pressure
To save fuel, ma ke sure the t ires are always i n­
flated to t he correct pressure~
page 340. The
fuel consumpt io n can increase by
5% if the pres ­
s u re is on ly
0 .5 bar too low. Due to the increased
rolling resistance, low tire pressures wi ll also
l ead to greater tire wear and will affect driving
behavior.
Do not drive on winter tires year -round, as this
will consume up to
10% more fuel.
Eliminate unnecessary weight
S ince eve ry po und of ext ra weight increases f uel
co nsump tion , a quick inspect io n of the luggage
compartment may be worth it to avoid unneces ­
sary weight .
When not be ing used , a roof rac k sho uld be re­
moved to decrease the w ind resis tance of the ve ­
hicle . This will save you approximately
12% fu el
at speeds from
62 -75 mph (100 -120 km/h) .
Save energy
The eng ine d rives the generator, which generates
electric ity; the fuel consumpt io n also increases
wi th the dema nd for e lec tric ity . T he refore, sw itch
electrical eq uipment off when you no longer
need it . Examples of eq uipment that uses a lot of
energy are air blowers at a high setting, the rear
window defogger and seat heating* .
@ Note
Do not leave engine idling unattended after
starting. If warning lights sho uld come on to
i ndicate improper operation, they would go
unheeded. Extended idling also produces
heat, which could resu lt in overheating or
other damage to the veh icle or other proper ­
ty .

Audi adaptive cruise control
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 94 Detect ion ra nge
The adaptive cru ise cont rol system is a comb ina­
t ion of speed and dis tance regu lation .
It assists
t h e d river by bo th regu lating the speed and
maintain ing a d istance to the vehicle driv ing
ahead, within the limits of the system.
If the sys­
tem detects a vehicle d riving ahead, the adaptive
cruise contro l can brake and accelerate your vehi ­
cle. T his makes driving more comfortable both
o n long stretches of highway and in stop -and-go
traffic.
What can adapti ve cruise control do?
The adaptive cru ise control system uses video, ra­
dar, ultrasound and navigation data . Vehicles
driv ing ahead can be recognized up to 650 ft
(200 m) away .

Selective catalytic
reduction (AdBlue/DEF)
General information
App lies to: vehicles with selective catalytic reduct ion
In vehicles with selective catalytic reduction, a
urea solution (AdBlue/DEF) is injected into the
exhaust system in front of a nitrogen oxide cata­ l ytic converter to reduce nitrogen em issions. The
urea solution is known as Ad Blue or DEF (Diesel
Exhaust Fluid) . The informat ion that follows w ill
u se the name Ad B lue .
The Ad Blue is carried in a separate tank in the ve­
hicle. The AdBlue consumption depends on the
dr iv ing behavior and veh icle operat ing cond i­
tions .
It is within a range of 1.0 L -3.0L every 600
miles (1,000 km). In some cases, the consump­
tion may a lso differ from this range depending
o n the dr iving behavior and vehicle operat ing
cond it ions.
When a message about refi lling the AdBlue ap­
pears in the instrument cl uster display, you must
refi ll the Ad B lue yourse lf or have it refilled by an
authorized Aud i dea le r o r a utho rized Audi Service

Observe the safety precautions¢ A in Working
in the engine compartment on page 319.
~ Park your vehicle on a level surface.
~ Shut the engine off when it is warm.
~ Switch only the ignition back on.
~ Wait approx imately two minutes.
~ Select in the Infota inment system: the I MENU I
button > Ve hicle > left contro l button > Ser vic e

~ Read the oi l level in the display . Add engi ne oil
if th e ba r in the oil leve l ind icator is j ust before
"min" ¢
page 323.
{U) Note
The engine o il leve l must not be unde r the
"min" marking, as this will increase the risk of
engine damage .
(D Tips
The oil level indicato r in the display is on ly an
informationa l display . If the o il level is too
low, a minimum oi l warning appears in the in ·
strument cluster. Add oi l and close the hood.
The current oil leve l is d isplayed in the Info­
tainment system the next time the ignition is
sw itched on.
(D Tips
The engine oil consumption may be up to
0.5 quart/600 m iles (0.5 liter/1,000 km), de­
pending on driving style and operating condi­
tions. Consumpt ion may be h igher during the
first 3,000 miles (5,000 km). Because of this, the engi ne oil level m ust be chec ked regular·
Ly. It is best to c hec k each t ime yo u refuel
your veh icle and before long dr ives.

- In order to prov ide e ffective lubrication and
cooling of interna l engine components, a ll
internal comb ustion engines consume acer ­
tain amount of oil. Oil consumption var ies
from engine to eng ine and may change sig­
nificantly over the life of the engine. Typi·
cally, eng ines with a specified break-in per i·
od consume mo re o il during the break-in pe·
r iod than they consume afte r oil cons ump·
t ion has s tabilized.
- Under no rma l co nd it ions, the rate of oil
c ons umption depends on the q ual ity and
vis cos ity of the oil, the RPM (revo lutions per
min ute) a t which the engine is operated, the
ambient temperature and road conditions .
Further factors are the amount of oi l di lu ­
t ion from water condensation or fuel resi­
due and the oxidation level of the oil. As any
eng ine is subject to wear as m ileage bu ilds
up, the oil consumption may increase over
t ime until replacement of worn components
may become necessa ry.
- With all these var iables comi ng into play,
no standard rate of o il consumption can be
established o r spe cified. There is no alter na­
t ive to c hec king the oil leve l reg ularly and
frequently.
- If you have the impress io n your e ng ine co n­
s u mes excessive amou nts of oi l, we recom ­
mend that yo u consult an authorized A udi
dea ler to have the cause of your concern
properly diagnosed . Keep in mind that the
acc urate measurement of o il cons umption
requires great care and may take some

(D Tips
You can also use all season tires instead of
winter tires. Please note that in some coun­
tries where winter tires are required, only
winter tires with the
& symbol may be per­
mitted.
Snow chains
Snow chains not only improve the driving in win­
ter road conditions, but also the braking .
~ Only install snow chains on the front wheels.
~ Check and correct the seating of the snow
chains after driving a few feet, if necessary . Fol­
low the instructions from the manufacturer.
~ Note the maximum speed of 30 mph (SO km/
h). Note the local regulations.
Use of snow chains is only permitted with certain
rim/tire combinations due to technical reasons.
Check with an authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized Audi Service Facility to see if you may use
snow chains.
Use
fine-mesh snow chains . They must not add
more than 0 .53 in (13.5 mm) in height, including
the chain lock.
You must remove the snow chains on roads with ­
out snow. Otherwise, you could impair driving
ability and damage the tires.
.&_ WARNING
Using incorrect snow chains or installing snow
chains incorrectly can result in loss of vehicle
control, which increases the risk of an acci­
dent.
(LlJ) Note
- Snow chains can damage the rims/wheel
covers* if the chains come into direct con­
tact with them. Remove the wheel covers*
first. Use coated snow chains.
- Do not install and use snow chains if there is
a malfunction in the air suspension*, be­
cause the vehicle height will be
very low. If
346
you drive with snow chains anyway, the
wheel housings and other vehicle compo­ nents can be severely damaged.
(D Tips
When using snow chains, it may be useful to
switch the offroad mode on
r=> page 143.
Low-profile tires
Applies to: vehicles with low-profile tires
Compared to other tire/rim combinations, low­
profile tires offer a wider tread surface and a
larger rim diameter with shorter tire sidewalls.
This results in an agile driving style. However, it
may reduce the level of comfort and increase
road noise when driving on roads in poor condi­
tion.
Low -profile tires can become damaged more
quickly than standard tires when driving
over
large bumps, potholes, manhole covers, and
curbs . Therefore, it is particularly important to
maintain the correct tire pressure
r=.> page 340.
To reduce the risk of damage to the tires and
rims, drive
very carefully on poor roads.
Check your wheels regularly every 2,000 mi
(3,000 km) for damage . For example, check for
bulges/cracks on the tires or deformations/
cracks on the rims.
After a heavy impact or damage, have the tires
and rims inspected or replaced immediately by
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
Low-profile tires can wear out faster than stand­
ard tires .
