brake provides various convenience and safety
functions.
When starting from rest
- The integral hill start assist helps you when
driving by automatically releasing the parking
brake ¢
page 80 , Starting from a stop.
- When starting on inclines, the hill start assist
prevents the vehicle from unintentionally roll ­
ing back. The braking force of the parking brake
is not r eleased until sufficient driving forc e has
b ee n built up at the wh eels.
Emergency brake function
An emergency braking functions ensures that the
vehicle can be slowed down even if the
normal
brakes fail¢ page 80, Emergency braking func­
tion.
A WARNING
- Do not press the accelerator pedal inadver­
tently if the vehicle is stationary but the en­ gine is running and a gear is selected . Other­
wise the vehicle will start to move immedi ­
ately and could result in a crash.
-If the power supply fails, the released park­
ing brake can no longer engage. In this case,
park the vehicle on level ground and secure
it by placing the selector lever in the P posi­
tion. See an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility for assistance.
(D Note
If the . or 1111 (USA models)/ . (Canada
models) indicator light in the instrument clus­
ter blinks , there is a malfunction in the brake
system. Refer to the detailed description of
the indicator lights¢
page 17.
-If the - (USA models)/ . (Cana-
da models) or
Ill indicator light turns on,
there is a malfunction in the parking brake
¢ page 18.
(D Tips
-If the parking brake is set while the ignition
is switched
off, thP l<@) indicator light in the
button and in the instrument cluster dis­
play - (USA models) /. (Canada mod-
Driving
els) will turn off after a certain amount of
time.
- If driver's door is opened while the ignition
is switched on, the parking brake sets auto­
matically. This prevents unintended rolling
of the vehicle.
- Occasional noises when the parking brake is
applied and released are normal and are not
a cause for concern.
- When the vehicle is parked, the parking
brake goes through a self-test cycle at regu­
lar intervals. Any noises associated with this
are normal.
- If there is a power failure, the parking brake will not set if it is released, and it will not
release if it is set¢&. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa­
cility for assistance .
Parking
.. Press the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
.. Pull the switch@¢
page 78, fig . 71 to set the
parking brake.
.. Place the selector lever in the P position.
.. Turn th e engine off¢,& .
.. Turn the steering wheel when pa rking on in­
clines so that the wheels will roll into the curb
if the vehicle starts moving .
A WARNING
--Always take the vehicle key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short period
of time. This applies particularly when chil­
dren remain in the vehicle. Otherwise the
children could start the engine , release the
parking brake or operate electrical equip­
ment (e.g. power windows). There is the risk
of an accident.
- When the vehicle is locked, no one -particu­
larly not children should remain in the vehi­
cle. Locked doors make it more difficult for
emergency workers to get into the vehicle,
which puts lives at risk.

Emergency mode
App lies to vehicles : wi th S t ro ni c t ra nsmi ssio n
In the event of a system malfunction, there is an
emergency program .
If all of the selector lever positions are highlight­
ed with a light background in the instrument
cluster display, there is a system malfunction and
the S tronic transmission is running in the emer­
gency program. The vehicle can still be driven in
emergency mode, but only with reduced speed
and not in all gears. In some cases, the vehicle
cannot drive in reverse .
(D Note
If the transmission runs in emergency mode,
drive to an authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized Audi Service Facility immediately to have
the malfunction corrected.

load" on the label located on the driver's side B ­
pillar (visible when the door is open). Inflate
trailer tires to trailer and tire manufacturers'
specifications.
Lights
Check to make sure both vehicle and trailer lights
are working properly.
Safety chains
Be sure tra iler safety cha ins are properly connect­
ed from the trailer to the hitch on the vehicle.
L eave enough slack in the chains to permit turn­
ing corners. When you install safety chains, make
sure they will not drag on the road when you are
driving .
The chains should cross under the trai ler tongue
to prevent it from dropping in case of separation
from the hitch .
Driving instructions
Driving with a trailer always requires extra care
and consideration .
To obta in the best poss ible handling of vehicle
and trailer, please note the following:
.,. Do not tow a loaded tra iler when your car itself
is not loaded.
.. Be especia lly careful when passing other
vehicles.
.. Observe speed limits .
.. Do not drive at the maximum permissible
speed.
.. Always apply brakes early.
.. Monitor the temperature gauge.
Weight distribution
Towing a loaded trai ler with an empty car results
in a high ly unstable distribution of weight. If this
cannot be avoided, drive at very low speeds only
to avoid the risk of losing steering control.
A "balanced" rig is easie r to operate and control.
This means that the tow vehicle should be loaded
to the extent possible and permissible, while
keeping the trailer as light as poss ible under the
circumstances. Whenever possible, transfer
some cargo to the luggage compartment of the
92
tow vehicle while observing tongue load require­
ments and vehicle loading considerations.
Speed
The higher the speed, the more diff icult it be­
comes for the driver to control the rig. Do not
drive at the maximum permissible speed. Reduce
your speed even more if load, weather or wind
conditions are unfavorab le -particularly when
going downh ill.
Reduce veh icle speed
immediately if the trailer
shows the slightest sign of swaying .
Do not try
to stop the swaying by accelerating.
Observe speed limits. In some areas, speeds for
vehicles towing tra ile rs are lower than fo r regular
vehicles .
Always apply brakes early. When driving down­
hill, shift int o a lo wer gear to use the eng ine
braking effect to slow the vehicle . Use of the
brakes alone can cause them to overheat and fail.
Coolant temperature
The coolant temperature gauge¢ page 12 must
be obse rved carefully. The coolant temperature
can increase if you dr ive on long inclines in a low
gear at high engine speeds . Reduce your speed
immediately if the LEDs in the top part of the dis­
play turn on .
For more information abo ut ind icator lights, re­
fer to. ¢
page 19 .
A WARNING
-
Anyone not properly restrained in a moving
vehicle is at a much greater risk in an acci­
dent. Never let anyone ride in your car who is
not proper ly wearing the restraints provided
by Aud i.
Trailer mode notes
Important to know
Your vehicle handles differently when towing a
trai ler because of the additiona l weight and dif­
ferent weight distribution . Safety, performance
and economy will greatly depend on how careful-
ly you load your trailer and operate your r ig. ..,.

,....,
Before you actually tow your trailer, practice
turning, stopping and backing up in an area away
from traffic. Keep practicing until you have be ­
come completely fami liar with the way your ve hi­
cle-trailer combination behaves and responds.
Backing up is d iff icu lt and requires practice . Back ­
i ng up w ith a trailer generally req uires steering
action oppos ite to that when backing up yo ur ve­
hi cle without a trailer.
M aintain a g reater distance betwee n your vehicle
and the one in front of yo u. You w ill need more
room to stop. To compensate for the tra iler, you
will need a larger than norma l turning radius.
When passing, remember that yo u cannot acce l­
erate as fast as yo u normally would because of
the added load. Make sure you have enough room
to pass. After passing, allow plenty of room for
your trailer before changing lanes again.
Avoid jerky sta rts, sharp turns or rapid lane
changes.
@ Tips
- Do not tow a tra ile r during the break-in peri­
od of yo ur vehicle.
- If yo u tow a t railer, you r A udi may require
more frequent ma intenance due to the ex­
tra load
~ page 262.
Parking on a slope
Do not park on a slope with a trailer . If it cannot
be avoided, do so only after doing the following:
When parking:
.. Apply the foo t brake .
.. Have someone pla ce chocks under bo th t he ve ­
hicle and the trailer wheels .
.. With c hocks i n place, s lowly re lease the brakes
u nti l the whee l chocks absorb the load .
.. Turn the wheels towards the c urb .
.. Apply the parking brake .
.. Se lect the P selector lever pos ition.
When restarting after parking :
.. Apply the foot brake .
.. Start the eng ine.
.. Se lect the D/S selector lever posit ion.
Trailer mode
.. Release the pa rking brake and s lowly pull out
an d away from the wheel chocks .
.. Stop and have someone retr ieve the wheel
chocks.
(D Tips
If you move the selector leve r of the automat­
i c transm iss ion to P before app ly ing the park­
i ng brake and before blocking the wheels, you
may have to use mo re force later to move the
l ever out of the P posit ion.

Audi pre sense basic
Description
App lies to vehicles: wit h Aud i pre sense basic
The function of the pre sense basic is activated at
a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or higher .
The following functions can be triggered under certain conditions within the limits of the sys­
tem:
- Tensioning of the safety belts (for example,
during heavy braking): the front safety belts
have reversible belt pretensioners. If a col lision
does not occur, the safety belts loosen slightly
and are ready to trigger again .
- Closing the windows and the sunroof* (for ex­
ample, when over- or understeering): the w in­
dows and the sunroof* close until there is only
a small gap open .
Audi drive select: the deployment time is adapt­ ed in dynam ic mode.
_&. WARNING ~
The pre sense basic cannot overcome natural
physical laws . It is a system des igned to assist
and it cannot p revent a coll ision. Do not let
the increased safety provided tempt you into
taking r is ks. Thi s co uld inc rease your risk of a
collis ion .
- The system can dep loy incorrectly due to
system-specific limits .
(D Tips
-Certa in p re sense bas ic functions switch off
when ESC is switched off (sport mode) o r
w hen driving in reverse. .,.

Audi active lane assist
Description
Applies to vehicles : with Audi active lane assist
Active lane ass ist detects lane marker lines with­
in the limits of the system using a came ra in the
windshie ld. If you are app roach ing a detected
lane marker line and it appears like ly that you
will leave the lane, the system will warn you with
corrective steering . You can override this steering
at any time. If you pass over a line, the steering
wheel will v ibrate light ly. In order for this warn­
ing vibrat ion to occur, it must first be switched
on in the MMI. Active lane assist is operable
when the lane marker line is detected on at least one side of the veh icle.
l) T hi s function is not ava ilable in all cou ntri es.
106
The system will not warn you befo re crossing a
l ane marker line if you have activated the turn
s ignal. In this case, it assumes that you are
changing lanes intentionally.
The system is des igned for driving on express ­
ways and highways and therefore on ly activates
at speeds above approx imately 40 mph (65 km/
h).
A WARNING
-
- The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective steering .
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can help you keep the vehicle in
the lane, but it does not drive by itself.
Al­
ways keep you r hands on the steering
wheel.
- Corrective steer ing may not occur in certa in
situa tions, su ch as during heavy braking.
- There may be cases where the camera does
not recognize all lane ma rker lines. Correc­
tive stee ring can only take p lace on the side
of the vehicle where lane marker line5 are
detec ted.
- Othe r road structures or obje cts cou ld possi­
b ly be identified un intent ionally as lane
marker l ines . As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur .
- The camera view can be restricted, for ex ­
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray light shining into the
camera or by d irt on the window. This can
result in active lane ass ist not detecting the
lane marker lines or detecting them incor­
rectly.
- In certain situat ions where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch from "early" to "late"
corrective steering
l l.
- Under certain co nditions such as ruts in the
road, an inclined roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steering a lone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the midd le of the lane.
