Indicator lights overview 
The  indicator lights in the instrument cluster 
blink or turn on. They indicate functions or mal- 
functions. Some warning and indicator lights 
turn on when you switch the ignition on and must 
turn off when the drive system is switched on or 
while driving. 
With some indicator lights, messages may ap- 
pear and warning signals may sound. The indica- 
tor lights and messages may be covered by other 
displays. To show  them again, select the second 
tab for messages with the multifunction steering 
wheel & page 12. 
Some indicator lights in the display can display in 
several colors.

Driving 
  
—To skip a gear (for example, move from “D” to 
“R”), move the selector lever past the pressure 
point in the desired direction. 
— The label next to the selector lever for the se- 
lected gear will light up. 
“N” (Neutral) gear 
In the “N” gear, power is not transmitted to the 
driving wheels. Use the “N” gear in a car wash 
(with conveyor belts), for example. 
If you unintentionally select “N” while driving 
(faster than 1 mph (2 km/h)), you can also shift 
back to “D” without pressing the brake pedal. 
For safety reasons, the vehicle cannot be locked 
when the transmission is in the  "N” gear. 
“Pp” (Park) gear 
Requirement: the ignition must be switched on. 
The vehicle is secured from rolling away by the 
parking lock when in the “P” gear. 
— Bring the vehicle to a full stop and press the 
brake pedal. 
— Press the “P” button 2) on the selector lever. 
—The “P” next to the selector lever will light up. 
“P” engages automatically if you switch the en- 
gine off while the  “D” or “R” gear is selected. If 
you switch the engine off in “N”, “P” will engage 
automatically after approximately 30 minutes. 
If you want to switch to another gear from “P”, 
the engine must be running. 
If you cannot shift out of “P”, for example be- 
cause the vehicle has no power, you may need to 
use the emergency release for the parking lock 
=> page 98. 
Selecting the driving program 
Various driving programs can be selected when in 
the “D” gear. The programs influence when the 
transmission shifts and how the accelerator ped- 
al responds. 
The selected driving program is displayed in the 
instrument cluster. 
—  D (Drive): normal driving mode 
—S (Sport): sporty driving mode 
If you select the Dynamic mode in Audi drive se- 
lect*, the “S” driving program will be activated. 
When the ignition is switched off, the driving pro- 
gram  may be reset to “D”. 
To switch between the current driving program 
and “S”, push the selector lever toward the rear. 
  
ZA WARNING 
— Before starting to drive, check if the desired 
gear is displayed next to the selector lever. 
— Always secure your vehicle from rolling 
away. Press the brake pedal or shift to “P”. 
When leaving the vehicle, also set the park- 
ing brake. 
— Power is still transmitted to the wheels 
when the engine is running at idle. To pre- 
vent the vehicle from “creeping”, you must 
keep  your foot on the brake in all selector 
lever positions (except "P" and "N") when 
the engine is running. 
—To reduce the risk of an accident, do not 
press the accelerator pedal when changing 
gears if the vehicle is stationary and the en- 
gine is running. 
— Never select the “R" or "P” gears while driv- 
ing. Doing so could cause an accident. 
— The vehicle can roll even if the ignition is 
switched off. 
      
(i) Tips 
If you shift between “D” and “R” within one 
second, you do not need to press the brake 
pedal. This makes it possible to “rock” if it is 
stuck, for example.

Page 104 of 316

Driving 
  
— If you select the "D" position after shifting 
into reverse, the vehicle must be driven fast- 
er than 6 mph (10 km/h) in order for the 
Start/Stop system to become active again. 
This makes it possible to maneuver without 
stopping the engine. 
Stopping and starting the engine 
Applies to: vehicles with Start/Stop system 
> Press and hold the brake pedal until the vehicle 
has stopped. The @ indicator light appears in 
the instrument cluster once the engine stops 
automatically. 
> The engine starts again when you remove your 
foot from the brake pedal. The  indicator light 
turns off. 
@) Tips 
— Press the brake pedal during a Stop phase 
to keep the vehicle from rolling. 
— The ignition will turn off if you press the 
START ENGINE STOP] button during a Stop 
  
      
phase. 
— If you leave the vehicle briefly during a Stop 
phase, the driver's door must be closed and 
the safety belt buckled for the engine to be 
able to restart. 
— You can control if the engine will stop or not 
by reducing or increasing the amount of 
force you use to press the brake pedal. For 
example, if you only lightly press on the 
brake pedal in stop-and-go traffic or when 
turning, the engine will not switch off when 
the vehicle is stationary. If you press the 
brake pedal harder, the engine will switch 
off.

@ For the sake of the environment 
Avoid actions that are damaging to the envi- 
ronment. Show respect for the natural envi- 
ronment and remain on marked routes. 
@ Tips 
Clean your vehicle after driving offroad. Dirt 
and stones falling off your vehicle can affect 
other road users. 
Driving through water 
If you must drive through water, follow these in- 
structions: 
— Check the stability of the ground, the current, 
and the water depth. If the ground is unstable, 
there is a strong current, or there are waves, 
the water must only reach up to the lower edge 
of the body at the most. 
— Deactivate the Start/Stop system. 
— Drive carefully and no faster than at walking 
speeds to prevent the front of the vehicle from 
creating waves, because they could splash 
above the lower edge of the body. Oncoming 
vehicles could also create waves. 
— Do not stop the vehicle while in the water. 
— Drive in reverse. 
— Do not turn the engine off. 
Hill descent assist 
Applies to: vehicles with hill hold assist 
The “& button is located in the function bar on 
the lower display. It lights up when the system is 
turned on. 
Hill descent assist can assist you when driving 
down hills by maintaining a constant vehicle 
speed by automatically braking all four wheels. 
You can adjust the speed using the accelerator 
and brake pedals. The regulation depends on the 
hill and the vehicle speed. 
> Switching on: press a 
> Switching off: press “2 again. 
Active regulation 
Regulation begins shortly after you start driving 
and is possible at speeds up to approximately 19 
mph (30 km/h) and on hills that have an approxi- 
mately 6-60% grade. If these conditions are met, 
regulation will be activated and the indicator 
light will turn on. 
Ready mode 
If one of the requirements for active regulation is 
not met, the system will be in ready mode. The 
a indicator light will turn on. Once the require- 
ments are met again, the system will be able to 
provide active regulation again. 
  
ZA WARNING 
After driving through water, press the brake 
pedal carefully to dry the brakes so that the 
full braking effect will be restored. 
@) Note 
Vehicle components such as the engine, drive 
system, suspension, or electrical system, can 
be severely damaged by driving through wa- 
ter. 
@ Tips 
If possible, avoid driving through salt water 
because it increases the risk  of corrosion. Use 
fresh water to clean any  vehicle components 
that come into contact with salt water. 
      
ZA WARNING 
— Be ready to apply the brakes at all times 
when using the hill hold assist. 
— Always adjust the speed to the visibility, 
weather, road, and traffic conditions. The 
system cannot replace the driver's atten- 
tion. 
— The system cannot maintain a constant vehi- 
cle speed in all situations, for example when 
on smooth or slippery ground. This can in- 
crease the risk of an accident. 
G) Tips 
If you select the Audi drive select* offroad 
mode, hill descent assist will switch on.

The rear axle steering may have failed. The vehi- 
cle will have a larger turning radius, and the sta- 
bility when driving around curves will be compa- 
rable to a vehicle without rear axle steering. Drive 
carefully to an authorized Audi dealer or author- 
ized Audi Service Facility to have the malfunction 
corrected. 
|e —o| Steering lock: malfunction! Please contact 
Service 
There is a malfunction in the electronic steering 
lock. Drive immediately to an authorized Audi 
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility to have 
the malfunction repaired. 
  
Z\ WARNING 
Do not tow your vehicle if there is a malfunc- 
tion in the electronic steering lock because 
this increases the risk of an accident. 
      
@) Tips 
—If there is a malfunction, the steering wheel 
may be crooked when driving straight. 
—Ifthe a or a indicator light only stays on 
for a short time, you may continue driving. 
All wheel drive (quattro) 
Applies to: vehicles with all wheel drive 
The all-wheel drive system distributes the driving 
power variably to the front and rear axle to im- 
prove the driving characteristics. It works togeth- 
er with  selective wheel torque control, which can 
activate when driving through curves 
=> page 112. 
The all-wheel drive system is designed for high 
engine power. Your vehicle is exceptionally pow- 
erful and has excellent driving characteristics 
both under normal driving conditions and on 
snow and ice. Always read and follow safety pre- 
cautions > A\. 
  
Z\ WARNING 
— Even in vehicles with all wheel drive, you 
should adapt your driving style to the cur- 
rent road and traffic conditions to reduce 
the risk  of an accident. 
— The braking ability of your vehicle is limited 
to the traction of the wheels. In this way, it 
is not different from a two wheel drive vehi- 
cle. Do not drive  too fast because this in- 
creases 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 wheel drive 
vehicles, the engine RPM does not increase 
suddenly when the vehicle begins hydro- 
planing. Adapt your speed to the road condi- 
tions to reduce the risk  of an accident. 
Sport differential 
Applies to: vehicles with sport differential 
       
The  sport differential distributes the drive power 
to the rear axle based on the situation. The goal 
is  a high level of agility and ability to accelerate

Trailer towing 
  
Trailer towing 
Driving with a trailer 
General information 
Your vehicle is primarily intended for transport- 
ing people and luggage. However, if you drive 
with a trailer, follow the technical requirements, 
the operation and driving tips, and the legal reg- 
ulations. 
Driving with a trailer affects the vehicle's energy 
usage, performance, and wear. It also requires 
higher concentration from the driver. 
  
Z\ WARNING 
Do not transport any people in a trailer due to 
the risk of fatal injury. 
Technical requirements 
Trailer hitch 
      
Only use a trailer hitch with a removable ball 
hitch mount and ball hitch. The trailer hitch must 
be permitted for the vehicle, the trailer and the 
permitted total weight of the trailer being 
pulled. Above all, it must be securely and safely 
attached to the vehicle trailer. 
Never mount a trailer hitch on the bumper. The 
trailer hitch must be mounted in a way that does 
not impair the function of the bumper. Do not 
make any changes to the exhaust system and the 
brake system. 
Check regularly if the trailer hitch is securely 
mounted. Always follow the instructions given by 
the trailer hitch manufacturer. 
Trailer brakes 
If the trailer has its own brake system, then fol- 
low the manufacturer specifications. However, 
the brake system on the trailer must never be 
connected to the vehicle brake system. 
Engine cooling system 
Driving with a trailer means a higher load on the 
engine and the cooling system. The cooling sys- 
tem must be designed for additional load and 
contain enough coolant > @. 
  
ZA WARNING 
— Never mount a "weight-distributing" or 
"load-balancing" trailer coupler as the trailer 
hitch. The vehicle was not designed for 
these types of trailer hitches. The trailer 
hitch  can malfunction and the trailer can 
break off from the vehicle. 
— If the trailer is equipped with electronic 
brakes, these brakes cannot be activated by 
a factory-installed control system, which in- 
creases the risk of an accident. 
—To reduce the risk of injury, always remove 
the ball hitch mount if no trailer is mount- 
ed 
® Note 
Longer inclines cannot be driven without a 
suitable cooling system, especially if the out- 
side temperatures are high. Otherwise, this 
increases the risk of engine damage. 
Operating instructions 
Towing capacity 
       
The permitted towing capacity must not be ex- 
ceeded under any circumstances > page 298. 
You can drive  up larger inclines if you are not us- 
ing the maximum towing capacity. 
The  specified towing weights only apply at eleva- 
tions up to 3,200 ft (1,000 m) above sea level. As 
the elevation increases, the engine power de- 
creases due to the decreasing air pressure. This 
reduces the hill climbing ability and towing ca- 
pacity. For every additional 3,200 ft (1,000 m), 
the maximum permitted towing weight must be 
reduced by approximately 10%. The permitted 
towing weight is the combined weight of the 
(loaded) vehicle and the (loaded) trailer. 
Tongue weight 
The maximum permitted tongue weight of the 
trailer drawbar on the trailer hitch ball head must 
not be exceeded. 
For driving safety, always using the maximum 
permitted tongue weight is recommended, but 
not 
exceed it. Distributing the cargo in the trailer >

Page 119 of 316

4M1012721BA 
Trailer towing 
  
If you must drive on roads that are in poor condi- 
tion, you can raise the vehicle again after hitching 
the trailer or after adjusting the tongue weight 
=> page 109. 
You can also increase ground clearance by select- 
ing the Audi drive select* offroad or allroad 
modes > page 108. 
Vehicle levels below the values set in the comfort 
level will no Longer be available, even if you are 
lowering the vehicle manually. 
  
IX WARNING 
— Never turn off trailer mode while driving 
when a trailer is hitched, because then the 
restrictions for controlling the vehicle level 
will be turned off. 
— Driving with a trailer on unpaved roads when 
the vehicle is raised may change the vehicle 
handling. Adapt your speed. 
— Note that the vehicle will lower automatical- 
ly at certain speeds if you have lifted the ve- 
hicle manually. 
® Note 
— Applies to: vehicles with air suspension: Se- 
lect the Audi drive select* comfort mode. 
Otherwise, the tongue load specified for 
your vehicle will no longer be applicable. 
— Attachments retrofitted on the vehicle may 
cause damage, especially on the trailer 
hitch ball head. In cases of damage, have 
the function checked by an authorized Audi 
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility. 
@ Tips 
— Block the wheels with chocks when parking 
on inclines if the trailer is loaded. 
— Having the vehicle inspected between the 
inspection intervals is recommended if you 
tow a trailer frequently. 
— Avoid driving with a trailer during the vehi- 
cle break-in period. 
Pe MO le 
Driving with a trailer requires extra caution. 
      
Speed 
Adhere to the  legal speed limits. Follow the  legal 
regulations that are applicable in the country 
where you are operating the vehicle. 
As the speed increases, the driving stability of 
the trailer decreases. Therefore you should not 
exceed the maximum legal speed limit when 
there are unfavorable road, weather, and/or wind 
conditions. This especially applies when driving 
downhill. 
Hill 
When you start driving uphill or downhill, trailers 
may tilt or sway sooner than when driving ona 
level surface. If small swaying movements have 
already occurred, you can stabilize the trailer by 
firmly braking immediately. Never attempt to 
“straighten out” the trailer by accelerating. 
Downshift before driving on hills  to utilize the en- 
gine braking effect > A\. 
Brakes 
When using a trailer with overrun brakes, first 
brake gently then quickly. This reduces the risk of 
jerking while braking if the trailer wheels lock up. 
Engine coolant temperature 
Pay attention specifically to the coolant tempera- 
ture display when there are high outside temper- 
atures, and when driving on long inclines 
=> page 13. Shift to a higher gear in a timely man- 
ner. 
  
Z\ WARNING 
Constant braking causes the brakes to over- 
heat and can substantially reduce braking per- 
formance, increase braking distance, or cause 
complete failure of the brake system.
