& WARNING
• Failure to heed warning lights and other important veh icle
information may result in serious personal injury or vehicle
damage.
• Whenever stalled or stopped for repair , move the vehicle a safe
distance off the road, stop the engine, and turn on the emergency
fla sher =>
page 63.
• The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially
hazardous area. Before you check anything in the engine com part -
ment, stop the eng ine and let it cool down . Always e xercise
extreme caution when working under the hood=>

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) >
The Ma lfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is part of the On-Board D iag­
nostic (OBD II) system . T he symbol lights up when the ignition is
turned on and will turn off after the engine has started and has
sett led at a constan t idle speed. Th is indicates that the MIL is working
properly .
The warning light illuminates when there is a malfunction in the
engine electron ic system. Contact your authorized Audi dealer and
have the malfunction corrected .
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also cause the MIL light to
illuminate::::;,

Safety belts~
This warning/indicator light reminds you to put on your
safety belt.
Th e 4,.. warning/ind icator light ill uminates when the igni tion is
switched on to remind the driver and any front passenger to put on
the safety belt. Additionally , an acoustic warning (gong) will a lso

The warning/indicator light .... illuminates, when the jacking mode
has been activated::::;, page 179. This warn ing/i ndicator light has the
following functions: •
It illuminates for a few seconds after the ignition is turned on as
function check and then goes out.
• If the warning/ind icator light illuminates steadi ly, there is a
system fault in the Adaptive A ir Suspens ion. A system fault can result
in limited ride comfort and
low ground clearance. The fault should be
corrected as soon as possible by an authorized Audi dealer.
• If the warning/indicator light flashes, you should not drive the
vehicle . The flashing wa rning/ind icator light points to an extreme
H igh level. A very
pronounced lifting of the veh icle (extreme High
level) can resu lt, for examp le, when a heavy load is removed from the
vehicle . As soon as the level has returned to normal, the
warning/indicator light stops flashing, and you can drive away.
• If the warning/ind icator light flashes in conjunction with the~
wa rning/indicator light, you shou ld not drive off immediate ly in o rder
to prevent damage to the underbody . The two warning/indicator
lights flashing together points to an extreme Low level. A very
pronounced lowering of the veh icle (extreme Low level) can result,
for examp le, from a heavy load. As soon as the level has returned to
normal, the warning/indicator lights stop flash ing, and you can drive
away .
0 Note
If the warning/ind icator light flashes in conjunction with the~
warning/ind icator light, you should not drive the vehicle because low ­
lying vehicle parts can bottom out as you drive over uneven ground
and be damaged as a result .•

Adaptive Air Suspension
Adaptive Air Suspension and
Damping
Description
Adaptive Air Suspension and damping can be regulated and they adapt automatically to a request from the
driver and the drivin g situati on at the time.
Adaptive Air Suspens ion is an e lectron ically controlled springing and
damping system. This chass is system makes it eas ie r on the d river by
adapting to the particular situation t hrough imperceptible contro l
processes.
T he
Adapt ive Air Su spen sion component regu lates ground clea rance
depending on vehicle speed, load condition and driver input. Acce le r·
a ting to a speed above a predetermined limi t will make the vehicle
lower itself. On the other hand, driving more slow ly results in the
vehicle raising aga in at spe cific speeds .
Th e
damping component provides individua l contro l of the damping
forces. For example, with damp ing characte rist ics set to provide
greater comfort, damp ing is set som ewhat harder for a br ief period
only as req uired, for example, whe n going around a curve or over
roug h road surfaces as we ll as when bra king.
Settings
Adaptive Air Suspension provides the drive r with the opportu nity to
set the chassis characte ristics also to the ir individual preference.
W ith the dr iv in g m odes
standard, automatic and dynamic the d river
has three chassis sett ings available, ranging from comfort to sporty.
In add it io n,
lift prov ides a fourth mode whi ch can be sele cti ng fo r
dr iving over poor stretches of road =:>
page 177, "Chass is Controls".
T he modes a re set in MM I
=:> page 179.
On veh icles equipped w ith the sport su spen sion Adaptive A ir Suspen­
sion -Sport *, there is genera lly more emphasis on a sporty chassis
sett ing. Setti ngs ra nge from comfo rtable to fi rm=:>
page 178, "Spo rt
Chassis Cont rols" .
0 Note
• Whenever you park you r vehicle, always ma ke su re there is
adeq uate clea rance above and below t he ve hicle. The heig ht of the
parked veh icle ca n change as the res ult of temperature fluctuat ions,
c hanges in loa d cond ition and changes in the dr iv ing mode (ground
cleara nce) .
• M ount t he tie-down ch ains/ cables over the r unning s urfa ce
(circumfere nce) of the tires . Never secu re the vehicle by the axle, the
suspension st ruts or the front o r re ar tow line eye . For technical
reaso ns, the pressure in t he suspension struts may change dur ing the
transport and this will adverse ly affect vehicle handling.
• To prevent damage to the vehicle u nderbody, remembe r th at your
veh icle is no t an off- road vehicle, even in the lift mode. The ground
cleara nce is insufficient for this type of operation .
• If yo u are go ing to tow a tra il e r, you mus t act iv a te the trai le r oper ­
ation mode =:>
page 179 .
[I] Tips
Before you ca n ra ise your vehicle using the vehicle jack (fo r examp le ,
w hen changing a flat tire) you must activate the jacking mode

Sport Chassis Controls
Four different driving modes can be set by the driver .
The automatic control processes are speed- and time-dependent. For
example, it is not poss ible to raise the suspension to the lift mode
above certain speeds.
When a speed of about 75 mph (120 km/h) is exceeded for more than
30 seconds, the vehicle is automatically lowered approximately 0.2
inch (5 mm) to a level suitable for highway speeds, except in the stan­
dard mode .

Select the automatic mode if you prefer a sporty suspension setting.
Sporty damping characteristics are selected in this mode.
• Lowering : When a speed of about 75 mph (120 km/h) is exceeded
for more than 30 seconds, the vehicle is automatically lowered by
about 0.2 inch (5 mm).
• Raising: The vehicle is automatically raised again if the speed falls
below about 44 mph (70 km/h) for a period of 120 seconds. The
vehicle is ra ised immediately when speed falls below about 22 mph
(35 km/h).
dynamic
Select the dynamic mode if you prefer a firm suspension setting and
damping characteristics.
• Lowering: When a speed of about 75 mph (120 km/h) is exceeded
for more than 30 seconds, the vehicle is automatically lowered by an
additional 0.2 in (5 mm) .
• Raising : The vehicle is automatically raised aga in if the speed falls
below about 44 mph (70 km/h) for a period of 120 seconds . T he
vehicle is raised immediately when speed falls below about 22 mph
(35 km/h).
standard
Select the standard mode if you want a comfortable suspension
sett ing. In the standard mode there is
no lowering of the suspension.
Even at high speeds, the vehicle stays at the same level. Comfortable
but firm damping characteristics are selected in this mode.
lift
Select the lift mode when yo u have to travel over poor sections of
road (e .g. trails). In the lift mode, the vehicle is raised by 1 inch (25
mm) compared to normal level and the setting goes to sporty
damping character istics .
The lift mode can be activated only at speeds below SO mph (80
km/h) . When a speed of about 62 mph (100 km/h) is exceeded, the
system automatically leaves lift mode and the mode set previously
(standard, automatic, dynamic) is activated again.•
