tem*.
ZA WARNING
— Automatic headlights* are only intended to
assist the driver. The driver is still responsi-
ble for controlling the headlights and may
need to switch them on and off manually
depending on light and visibility conditions.
For example, fog cannot be detected by the
light sensors. So always switch on the low
beams under these weather conditions and
when driving in the dark ZO. >

Driving

appears in the instrument cluster once the en-
gine stops automatically.
> The engine starts again when you remove your
foot from the brake pedal. The indicator light
turns off.
Additional information for automatic
transmissions
The engine stops in the "P", "N" and "D" selector
lever positions.
If you select the “R” gear during a Stop phase
while pressing the brake pedal, the engine will
start again.
Shift to "P" quickly to prevent the engine from
starting unintentionally when shifting through
"RM.
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.
@) 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.
— When you stop and the Start/Stop system
turns the engine off, the ignition remains
on. Make sure the ignition is switched off
before you leave the vehicle or else the bat-
tery could drain.
General information
Applies to: vehicles with Start/Stop system
Starting and stopping the engine automat-
ically
The system checks if certain conditions are met
before and during the Stop phase, and deter-
mines if the engine stops and how long it re-
mains stopped. For example, if power usage is
high, the engine will not be stopped. Along with
78
other conditions, the following factors influence
the automatic engine start or stop:
— Environmental conditions (slopes, inclines, ele-
vation, temperature)
— Battery (charge status, temperature, power us-
age)
— Engine temperature
— Assist systems
— Driving behavior
Depending on the engine, the indicator light
may appear if the engine is not stopped.
Ignition is switched off automatically
To prevent the vehicle battery from draining, the
ignition will switch off automatically under the
following conditions:
— If the vehicle has already been driven
— If the Start/Stop system has stopped the en-
gine
— If the driver's door is opened
— If the driver's safety belt is unbuckled
— If the brake pedal is not pressed
— If the vehicle is stationary
In this case, the parking lights switch on in place
of the low beams and the message Side marker
lights will switch off automatically in 30 mi-
nutes. See owner's manual appears in the Info-
tainment system display. The side marker lights
will switch off after approximately 30 minutes or
when you lock the vehicle.
If the Start/Stop system has not turned off the
engine or if you have switched the Start/Stop sys-
tem off manually, the ignition will not be auto-
matically switched off and the engine will contin-
uetorun>A.

ZA WARNING
To reduce the risk of poisoning, never allow
the engine to run in confined spaces.
G) Tips
If you select the “D” or “N” selector lever posi-
tion after shifting into reverse, the vehicle
must be driven faster than 6 mph (10 km/h)
in order for the engine to switch off again.

Driving

Parking
> Press the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
> Pull the ©) switch to set the parking brake.
> Place the selector lever in the “P” position.
> Turn the engine off > /A\.
> Turn the steering wheel when parking on in-
clines so that the wheels will roll into the curb
if the vehicle starts moving.

Z\ WARNING
— If the parking brake is set, it can release au-
tomatically when the accelerator pedal is
pressed. To reduce the risk of an accident,
do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal and always shift into “P” when the ve-
hicle is stopped.
— Emergency braking should only be used in
an emergency, when the when the standard
brake pedal is malfunctioning or obstructed.
During emergency braking, your vehicle will
brake similar to heavy braking. ESC and the
associated components (ABS, ASR, EDL)
cannot overcome the laws of physics. In cor-
ners and when road or weather conditions
are bad, a full brake application can cause
the vehicle to skid or the rear end to swerve,
which increases the risk of an accident.
— If the power supply fails, you cannot set the
parking brake once it is released. In this
case, park the vehicle on level ground and
secure it by placing the selector lever in the
P position. See an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility for assis-
tance.
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the vehicle key with you. This
applies particularly when children remain in
the vehicle. Otherwise children could start
the engine, release the parking brake or op-
erate electrical equipment such as power
windows, which increases the risk of an acci-
dent.
— No one should remain in the vehicle when it
is locked - especially children. Locked doors
make it more difficult for emergency work-
ers to get into the vehicle, which puts lives
at risk.

80
@) Note
Do not leave your vehicle unattended while
the engine is running, because this increases
the risk of an accident.
@) Tips
— Noises when the parking brake is set and re-
leased are normal and are not a cause for
concern.
— The parking brake goes through a self-test
cycle at regular intervals when the vehicle is
stopped. Any noises associated with this are
normal.
Starting to drive
Various convenience and safety functions may be
available when the vehicle begins driving, de-
pending on vehicle equipment.
Starting on hills with the parking brake set
Requirement: the driver's door must be closed.
> To start driving comfortably when on a hill, set
the parking brake and begin driving as usual.
The braking force of the parking brake does not
release automatically until the wheels build up
enough driving force.
Starting on hills with hill hold assist
If you take your foot off of the brake pedal when
driving on hills, the braking force will be held for
several seconds. At that time, you can start driv-
ing without the vehicle rolling backward.
Requirement: the driver's door must be closed,
the engine must be on, and the vehicle must be
traveling uphill.
> To activate hill hold assist, press and hold the
brake pedal for several seconds while the vehi-
cle is stationary.

ZA\ WARNING
—To reduce the risk of an accident, always
make sure the vehicle is situated safely
while stationary.
— If the parking brake is set, it can release au-
tomatically when the accelerator pedal is >

8S1012721BE
Driving


pressed. To reduce the risk of an accident,
do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal and always shift into “P” when the ve-
hicle is stopped.
— If the power supply fails, you cannot set the
parking brake once it is released, or release
it if it is set. In this case, park the vehicle on
level ground and secure it by engaging the
"P” gear. Contact an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility for assis-
tance.

ZA WARNING
— If you do not begin driving immediately after
releasing the brake pedal, your vehicle may
begin to roll backward. Press the brake ped-
al or set the parking brake immediately.
— The hill hold assist cannot hold the vehicle
on inclines in every scenario (for example,

on slippery or icy ground).

Sporty driving
Applies to: RS models
When driving in a sporty style, the wear on all ve-
hicle components is greatly increased, especially
on the engine, transmission, tires, brakes, and
suspension. This can result in increased wear. Al-
so
note the following points:
— Make sure the vehicle is in good condition.
Make sure to check the brake pads, tire tread,
and tire pressure (when tires are warm).
— Beforehand, warm up the engine by driving no
higher than two-thirds of the maximum permit-
ted engine RPM. The engine oil must be
brought to a minimum temperature of 158 °F
(60 °C).
— Before stopping the vehicle, allow the engine
and brakes to cool back down to a regular oper-
ating temperature by driving normally.
If necessary, use the following functions:
— Dynamic Audi drive select mode* > page 96
— Launch Control > page 86
— Limit ESC > page 105
@) Tips
Wear caused by load does not constitute a ve-
hicle fault as defined by the terms of the war-
ranty.
Automatic transmission
Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically-
controlled DSG transmission called S tronic. Two
independent clutches transfer the power be-
tween the engine and transmission. It allows the
vehicle to accelerate without a noticeable inter-
ruption in traction.
The transmission shifts up or down automatically
depending on which drive program is selected.
When a moderate driving style is used, the
transmission selects the most economical driving
mode. The transmission upshifts at a lower RPM
and downshifts at a higher RPM to improve fuel
efficiency.
The transmission switches to a sporty mode after
a kick-down or when the driver uses a sporty driv-
ing style characterized by quick accelerator pedal
movements, heavy acceleration, frequent
changes in speed, and traveling at the maximum
speed.
If desired, the driver can also select the gears
manually (tiptronic mode) > page 85.
