Messages
@)Electromechanical parking brake
If the Zi / © indicator light turns on, the park-
ing brake was set.
© Parking brake: warning! Vehicle parked too
steep
Zi / © Parking brake: warning! Vehicle
parked too steep
If the indicator light blinks and the message ap-
pears, there is not enough braking power to se-
16
cure the vehicle. The brakes have overheated. The
vehicle could roll away, even ona small incline.
ww Parking brake: malfunction! Please contact
Service
There is a malfunction in the parking brake. Drive
to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility immediately to have the malfunc-
tion corrected. Do not park the vehicle on hills,
because it could roll.

the vehicle from rolling away. Park the vehicle in
a place with less of an incline.
A TA3 / (Q) Parking brake: applied
The parking brake is set. Press and hold the brake
pedal to release the parking brake.
@- Steering lock
BS Steering: malfunction! Please stop vehicle

Do not switch the ignition off because you may
not be able to switch it on again.
Drive to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility immediately to have the
malfunction corrected.
& Engine start system: malfunction! Please
contact Service
There is a malfunction in the engine start system.
Drive immediately to an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility to have the
malfunction repaired.
*\ Engine stop while driving
If the S indicator light turns on, there may bea
malfunction in the engine or fuel supply.
More force is needed to steer and brake the mov-
ing vehicle when the engine is stopped. If the ve-
hicle is rolling, try to bring it to a stop off to the
side from moving traffic. See an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility for as-
sistance.

ZA\ WARNING
If the engine stops while driving, you will need
to use more force to brake the vehicle. This in-
creases the risk of an accident. There will still
be power steering if the ignition is switched
on while the vehicle is rolling and there is suf-
ficient battery charge. Otherwise, you must

use greater force when steering.

53/8 Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC)

If the B indicator light blinks while driving, the
ESC or ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation) is actively regu-
lating.
If the BB indicator light turns on, the system has
switched the ESC off. In this case, you can switch
the ignition off and then on to switch the ESC on
again. The indicator light turns off when the sys-
tem is fully functional.
If the [J indicator light turns on, ESC was
switched off using the |2%] button > page 705.


Stabilization control (ESC/ABS): malfunction!
See owner's manual
If the B indicator lamp and the ES / Gass in-
dicator lamp turn on and the driver message ap-
pears, the ABS or electronic differential lock is
malfunctioning. This also causes the ESC to mal-
function. The brakes still function with their nor-
mal power, but ABS is not active.
Drive to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility immediately to have the
malfunction corrected.
@ Tips
For additional information on ESC and ABS,
see > page 104.
If the B indicator light turns on if there is a mal-
function in the engine control. Drive slowly to an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility to have the engine checked.
§ Suspension control
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
If the | 8 | indicator light turns on, then there is a
malfunction in the suspension control. Drive im-
mediately to an authorized Audi dealer or author-
ized Audi Service Facility to have the malfunction
repaired.

Power top


ZA WARNING
Never drive with the power top unlocked. The
wind from driving could cause the power top
to open. This can result in injuries and dam-

age to the vehicle.

Wind deflector
Applies to: vehicles with wind deflector
+ a
= oa

Fig. 32 Center console: switch for operating the wind de-
flector
The wind deflector reduces air movement in the
passenger compartment in order to make driving
more comfortable. A power mechanism extends
and retracts the wind deflector.
> To extend the wind deflector, pull the wind de-
flector switch until the wind deflector is com-
pletely extended.
> To retract the wind deflector, pull the wind de-
flector switch until the wind deflector is com-
pletely retracted.

A WARNING
— Do not use the wind deflector to secure car-
go.
— Always pay careful attention when closing
the wind deflector. Pinching could cause se-
rious injuries.

@ Tips
— If the wind deflector switch is released while
it is extending, the process will stop imme-
diately.
— The wind deflector works best when all of
the windows are rolled up while driving.
Power top emergency
operation
General information
Applies to: vehicles with power top
The power top can be closed manually if there is
a malfunction.
> Set the parking brake.
> Open all windows.
> Switch the ignition off.
Only close the power top manually in an emer-
gency. Have a second person assist. Drive imme-
diately to an authorized Audi dealer or author-
ized Audi Service Facility to have the malfunction
repaired.
ZX WARNING
— There is a risk of pinching the hands or other
people during all of the power top emergen-
cy operation steps.

— Make sure all windows are lowered during
emergency operation.

Driving

Driving
General information
Breaking in
A new vehicle must be broken in within the first
1,000 miles (1,500 km) so that all moving parts
work smoothly together, which helps to increase
the service life of the engine and other drive com-
ponents.
Do not drive higher than two-thirds of the maxi-
mum permitted engine RPM during the first 600
miles (1,000 km) and do not use full accelera-
tion. The engine can be increased RPM gradually
during the next 300 miles (S00 km).
Trailer mode
® Note
Your Audi is not designed for towing a trailer.
Damage caused by towing a trailer is not cov-
ered by the warranty.
Reducing the risk of vehicle damage
@) Note
When driving on poor roads, over curbs, and
on steep ramps, make sure that components
that hang below the vehicle, such as the spoil-
er and exhaust system, are not struck because
they could be damaged. This especially ap-
plies
to vehicles with low ground clearance
and vehicles that are heavily loaded.
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.

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 motor, drive
system, suspension, or electrical system can
be severely damaged by driving through wa-
ter
Gi) 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.
Efficient and environmentally-friendly
driving
The amount of fuel consumption, the environ-
mental impact, and the wear to the engine,
brakes, and tires depends mostly on your driving
style. Note the following information for efficient
and environmentally-conscious driving:

— Turn off electrical equipment that is not need-
ed, for example seat heating*.
— Anticipate upcoming traffic situations while
driving to avoid unnecessary acceleration and
braking.
— Avoid driving at high speeds.
— Avoid adding extra weight to the vehicle if pos-
sible, for example by not leaving roof racks or
bike racks installed when they are not needed.
— Make sure the tire pressure is correct.
— Have maintenance performed regularly on the
vehicle.
— Do not let the engine run while the vehicle
parked.

8S1012721BE
Driving

— Do not drive with winter tires during the summ-
er.
— Utilize the engine braking effect.
— Avoid driving short distances when possible.
G) Tips
The amount of noise produced by the vehicle
can increase significantly when driving with a
sporty style. Show respect to others around
you and the environment with the way you op-
erate your vehicle, especially at night.
Starting and stopping
the engine
Starting the engine


The [START ENGINE STOP] button switches the
ignition on and starts the engine.

[eFv-0219
|
8 Ss
& od = a
Applies to: TT RS
Fig. 84 Steering wheel: START ENGINE STOP button
Switching the ignition on or off
If you would like to switch the ignition on without
starting the engine, follow these steps:

> Press the [START ENGINE STOP} button without
pressing the brake pedal.


Starting the engine
> Automatic transmission: press the brake pedal
and move the selector lever into the “P” or “N”
position > /\.
> Press the [START ENGINE STOP} button. The en-
gine will start.


Equipment that uses a lot of electricity is switch-
ed off temporarily when you start the engine.
If the engine does not start immediately, the
starting procedure stops automatically after a
short time. If this is the case, repeat the starting
procedure after approximately 30 seconds.

ZA\ WARNING
—To reduce the risk of asphyxiation, never al-
low the engine to run in confined spaces.
— Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
— The brake booster and power steering only
work when the engine is running. If the en-
gine is off, you have to use more force when
steering or braking. The fact that you cannot
steer and brake as usual may increase the
risk of accidents and serious injuries.
() Note
Avoid high engine speed, full throttle, and
heavy engine load if the engine has not
reached operating temperature yet. You could
damage the engine.

@) For the sake of the environment
Do not let the engine run while parked to
warm up. Begin driving immediately. This re-
duces unnecessary emissions.
(i) Tips
— Some noise after starting the engine is nor-
mal and is no cause for concern.
— If you leave the vehicle with the ignition
switched on, the ignition will switch off af-
ter a certain amount of time. Make sure
that electrical equipment such as the exteri-
or lights are switched off.
