& WARNING
• USA models : If the BRAKE warning light and the Af'l~ warning
light come on together , the rear wheels could lock up first under
hard braking . Rear wheel lock-up can cause loss of vehicle control
and an accident . Have your vehicle repaired immediately by your
authorized Audi dealer or a qualified workshop . Drive slowly and
avoid sudden, hard brake applications.
• Canada model s: If the brake warning light (Q)) and the ABS
warning light come on together , the rear wheels could lock up
first under hard braking . Rear wheel lock -up can cause loss of
vehicle control and an accident . Have your vehicle repaired imme­
diately by your authorized Audi dealer or a qualified workshop .
Drive slowly and avoid sudden , hard brake applications.
• If the brake warning /indicator light does not go out after a few
seconds and the parking brake released, or lights up while you are
driving , the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir is too low . If you
believe that it is safe to do so , proceed immediately at low speed
to the nearest authorized Audi dealer or qualified repair facility and have the brake system inspected .
• Always keep
in mind that after several brake applications , you
will need greater pressure on the brake pedal to stop your vehicle. Do not rely on strained brakes to respond with maximum stopping
power in critical situations . You must allow for increased braking
distances . The extra di stance used up by fading brakes could lead
to an a ccident. •

On the road -
----------------
• Please also exercise exceptional care when you drive up or down
steep ramps or drive over curbs or other obstac les, f or which the
vehicle is not designed, because components of the veh ic le close to
the g round, suc h as bumper covers, spoi lers and suspension and
exhaust system components, may become damaged . •
Starting off with a trailer
To p reven t ro lling b ack unintentionally o n an incline, do
the foll owing:
- Keep the sw it c h pulled and depr ess the acce lera to r. The
p arking b rake stays a pplie d a nd pre ve nts the v ehi cle
f rom rolling backw ard .
- You can rele ase the switch o nce you are sure t hat you are
deve lo p ing e noug h forward mo mentum at the whee ls as
yo u de press the accelera tor.
Depending on the weight of the rig (vehicle a nd trailer) and the
severity of the inc line, you may roll backwards as you start. You can
prevent rolling bac kwards by holding the parking brake switch
pul led out and acce lerating -just as you would when starting on a
hill with a conven tiona l hand brake .•
Emergency braking
In the event that the conventional brake system fails or
locks .
-Pull the sw itch and cont inue to pu ll it to slow yo ur vehicle
with the parking b rake in an emergency.
- As soo n as you release the sw itch or acce le rat e, the
b raking proc ess s tops .
Controls and equip ­
ment
I f you pull the switch and hold it above a speed of about 5 mph (8
km/h), the emergency braking function is initia ted . The ve hic le is
braked at all four whee ls by activating the hydraulic brake system.
Brake performance is sim ilar to mak ing an eme rgency stop=>& .
So that emergency braking is not activated by mistake, an audible
warning tone (buzzer) sounds when the switch is pulled. As soon as
t he sw itch is released, or the accelera tor pedal is depressed, emer ­
gency braking stops.
& WARNING
Emergency braking should only be used in an emergency , when
the normal foot brake ha s failed or the brake pedal i s obstructed .
Using the parking brake to perform emergency braking will slow
your vehicle as if you had made a full brake application. The law s
of physi cs cannot be suspended even with E SP and its asso ciated
components (ABS , ASR , EDS ). In corner s and when road or
we ather conditions are bad , a full bra ke appl ication can cau se the
vehicle to skid or the rear end to break away -risking an
accident .•
Driver messages in the instrument cluster
Caution : Vehicle p arked too steep
This message appears when the park ing brake is app lied on an
inc line that exceeds about 30% .
I n this case the braking power of the parking brake may
not be
adequate
to prevent the vehicle from rol ling unintentional ly .
Please release parking brake
This message appears, when a gear is selected and the accelerator
pedal is depressed -re lease the parking brake. ...

tained. The ACC system is not switched off, and increased attention
to the traffic situation is absolutely necessary. The following may be
reasons why the message
ACC functionality limited appears:
• The ACC sensor is dirty . The ACC system is not reacting, or is not
reacting correctly, to moving vehicles up ahead in your lane of
travel.
• There may be very light traffic on and there is nothing that marks
the side of the road (for example, guard rails, traffic signs, trees). As
soon as a moving vehicle up ahead is detected again, ACC becomes
active again and the message disappears .
The ACC sensor is located in the area under the front license plate.
If the ACC sensor is dirty or blocked, clean the area to restore system
operation.
ACC not available
The text message ACC not available appears, for example, if the
temperature of the brakes is excessive . Adaptive Cruise Control is
temporarily not available. A warning tone sounds as a reminder.
ACC not available!
The text message ACC not available! appears in the event of a
malfunction. Adaptive Cruise Control is turned off. A warning tone
sounds as a reminder. Have the system inspected by a qualified
dealership .
ACC sensor blocked !
The text message ACC sensor blocked ! appears when the ACC
System can no longer accurately detect vehicles moving up ahead
in your lane of travel. Adaptive Cruise Control is turned off. A
warning tone a lso sounds as a reminder.
To decide whether it is necessary to switch off the ACC (ACC sensor blocked
!) or if it is only a temporary condition (ACC Functionally
limited), the system will also takes into consideration the outside
temperature and/or the windshield wiper operation.
The ACC sensor is dirty or blocked (e.g. leaves, snow) . The
ACC sensor is located in the area under the front license plate .
If the ACC sensor is dirty or blocked, clean the area to restore system
operation.
EPB activation
Th e text message EPB activation appears if emergency braking was
manual ly initiated with the Electromechanical Parking Brake (EPB).
The Adaptive Cruise Con trol is turned off . This is accompanied by a
warning tone.

& WARNING
Improperly stored luggage or other items can fly through the
vehicle causing serious personal injury in the event of hard braking or an accident. To help reduce the risk of serious personal injury:
• Always put objects, for example, luggage or other heavy items
in the luggage compartment.
• Always secure objects in the luggage compartment using the
tie-down eyelets and suitable straps.
& WARNING
Heavy loads will influence the way your vehicle handles. To help
reduce the risk of a loss of control leading to serious personal
injury :
• Always keep in mind when transporting heavy objects, that a
change in the center of gravity can also cause changes in vehicle
handling:
-Always distribute the load as evenly as possible.
- Place heavy objects as far forward in the luggage compart-
ment as possible.
• Never exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating or the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating specified on the safety compliance sticker on the left door jamb. Exceeding permissible weight standards
can cause the vehicle to slide and handle differently.
• Please observe information on safe driving~
page 194.
& WARNING
To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from being drawn into the
vehicle, always keep the rear lid closed while driving.
• Never transport objects larger than those fitting completely
into the luggage area because the rear lid cannot be fully closed.
& WARNING (continued)
• If you absolutely must drive with the rear lid open, observe the
following notes to reduce the risk of poisoning :
- Close all windows,
- Close the power roof*,
- Open all air outlets in the instrument panel,
- Switch off the air recirculation,
- Set the fresh air fan to the highest speed.
& WARNING
Always make sure that the doors, all windows, the power roof*
and the rear lid are securely closed and locked to reduce the risk
of injury when the vehicle is not being used.
• After closing the rear lid, always make sure that it is properly
closed and locked .
• Never leave your vehicle unattended especially with the rear lid
left open. A child could crawl into the vehicle through the luggage
compartment and close the rear lid becoming trapped and unable
to get out . Being trapped in a vehicle can lead to serious personal
injury.
• Never let children play in or around the vehicle.
• Never let passengers ride in the luggage compartment. Vehicle
occupants must always be properly restrained in one of the
vehicle's seating positions.
[ i] Tips
• Air circulation helps to reduce window fogging. Stale air escapes
to the outside through vents in the trim panel, on the left side of the
luggage compartment. Be sure to keep these slots free and open.
• The tire pressure must correspond to the load -see the tire pres ­
sure sticker on the fuel filler door.•
