Driving Notes
The forward gears are shifted up or down automatically.
Starting from stop
-Step on and hold the brake pedal.
Fig. 87 Section from
center console:
Selector lever with
release button
- Hold the release button (button in selector lever) down,
move the selector lever to the desired position, for
example D =:>
page 100, and release the button.
- Release the brake pedal and accelerate =:>& .
Stopping temporarily
Bring the vehicle to a full stop with the brake, e.g. at
traffic signals.
Do not accelerate.
Parking
-Step on and hold the brake pedal =:> & .
Apply the parking brake firmly.
- Hold the release button down, move the selector lever to
P and release the button.
Stopping on an incline
-Always hold the vehicle with the footbrake or parking
brake in order to prevent "rollback"=:>& . Do
not try to
prevent the vehicle from rolling back by rewing the
engine while it is in gear.
Starting on a hill
- Apply the hand brake firmly.
- With the engine in gear, gradually accelerate and release
the hand brake.
The engine can only be started with the selector lever in P or N
=> page 93. At low ambient temperatures (14 °F /-1 O °C), it is only
possible to start the engine with the selector lever in P.
When parking on level ground, it is sufficient to place the selector
lever in P. On a steeply sloping road , you should first apply the
parking brake firmly and then place the selector lever in P. This way,
you do not overload the pawl mechanism and it is easier to move
the selector lever out of P.
& WARNING
• Never leave your vehicle with the engine running while in gear.
If you must leave your vehicle with the engine running, set the
parking brake and engage the park lock.
• When the engine is running and the transmission is in gear (D,
S or R) or in "tiptronic" mode, it is essential that you stop the
vehicle with the footbrake. When idling, the transmission of power
does not stop completely -the vehicle "creeps".
• Do not accelerate when you change the selector lever position
with the vehicle stationary and the engine running -risk of an acci ­
dent!
• Never place the selector lever in the R or N position while the
vehicle is moving -risk of an accident!
~

• ..__T_ ra_ n_s_ m_ i_ s _s_ i_ o _n ___________________________________________________ _
• The manual shift program (tiptronic) is switched off in the fail­
safe mode.
If the transmission switches to fail-safe mode, you should take the
vehicle to an authorized Audi dealership as soon as possible to have
the condition corrected .•

from the Park position
The emergency release mechanism is located on the right
front under the selector lever shift gate. The release proce- dure
requires professional dexterity. We recommend that
you seek assistance.
Removing the selector lever boot
-Engage the parking brake.
- Carefully pry the selector lever boot out of the trim using
a small screwdriver @.
- Pull both sides of the boot upward in the direction of the
arrows @.
- Fold the boot upward.
Emergency release for selector lever
-Press the release lever toward the center of the vehicle
with the screwdriver ~ fig. 92
© and hold it in this posi ­
tion.
- Now press the lock button on the selector lever@ and
move the selector lever to the N position.
- Clip the shift boot back into the shift gate.
If the vehicle has to be pushed or towed if the power supply fails
(e.g . battery is discharged), the selector lever mus t be moved to the
N position using the emergency locking device.
& WARNING
The selector must only be shifted from the P position if the hand­
brake is firmly applied. Otherwise the vehicle would start moving
unexpectedly on a grade when the selector lever is shifted from
the P position -increasing the risk of an accident. •

ABS operation
When a vehicle speed of about 10 mph (20 km/h) is reached, an au to ­
matic test sequence is run. Some noise from the pump may be
audible .
I f the speed of a whee l slows down too much relative to vehic le
speed and it starts to lock, brake pressure to this wheel is reduced.
This adj ustment process can be felt as a
pulsing motion of the brake
pedal ,
accompanied by some no ises. You as the driver are intention­
a lly being given the infor mation tha t the wheels are tending t o lock
(ABS control range). In order for ABS to be ab le to operate optima lly
in this range, you must keep the b rake pedal depressed -do not
"pump the brakes".
Brake assistant
The brake power assist un it increases the pressure that you
genera te wi th the brake pedal. I t wo rks only when the e ngine is
running.
Automatic full braking
T his function al lows fu ll bra king in spite of high brake pedal forces
(e .g. whe n the brakes are seve rely s tressed beca use the veh ic le is
fully loaded) . T he driver not ices this function through a reduction of
pedal force a nd increased pedal t ravel. When the brake peda l is
re leased, fu ll braking assist switches off again automatically .
If there is an ABS failure, the brake assistant and automatic fu ll
brak in g ass ist are not available.
& WARNING
• ABS cannot suspend the la ws of physic s. You should keep this
in mind in parti cular on an icy or wet road . If ABS control of braking
intervenes , you should adjust your speed immediately to road and
traffic condit ions . Do not be tempted by the increased safety
provided to take risks -danger of an accident.
• Please keep in mind that the risk of an accident is increased by
driving too fast , particularly in bends and on icy or wet roads , and
& WARNING (continued )
by driving too close to the vehicle ahead . The increased risk of an
accident cannot be redu ced by the brake a ssistant -danger of an
accident .
[ i ] Tips
If a ma lfunction occurs in the ABS, this is signalled by an indicator
l ight, se e =>
pag e 20.
E ectro-mechan-;cal power assist
The electro -me chanical po wer assist helps the driver
w hen steering.
The degree o f pow er assis t is electronically matched t o ve h ic le
speed .
The power stee ring system as sists the driver so that he can steer the
vehic le with reduced physica l effort.
P ower steering wil l not work if the engine is off. As a result, the
s te eri ng wheel wi ll be hard to turn .
& WARNING
If the system develops a problem , you must seek qualified profes ­
s ional assist ance .
0 Note
If there is an electronic ma lfunction, servotronic wi ll st ill function
li ke a conve ntio nal power stee rin g system, prov iding a constant
steering support force that is no longer proportionate to the vehicle
speed. This is most no ticeable when turni ng the s teering wheel at
l ow speeds (for examp le when parking), -more effort will be
r e q uired than usual. ._

Closing the engine hood
- Pull the hood down until the pressure from the struts is
reduced .
- Let the hood
drop down and latch in place. Do not try to
push it shut;
it may fail to engage => &.
& WARNING
A hood that is not completely latched could fly up and block your
view while driving.
• When you close the engine hood, check it to make sure the
safety catch has properly engaged. The hood should be flush with
the surrounding vehicle body parts.
• If you notice while driving that the hood is not secured prop­
erly, stop at once and close it. •
Working in the engine compartment
Be especially careful whenever you work in the engine
compartment!
Whenever you must perform any work in the engine compartment,
for example checking and filling the different fluids, there is a risk of injury, burns and accidents. To prevent personal injury always
observe the following WARNINGS. The engine compartment of any
vehicle is a hazardous area!
~ &
& WARNING
To help avoid injury, before you check anything under the hood :
• Switch off the engine.
• Remove the ignition key.
• Apply the parking brake .
& WARNING (continued)
• Move selector lever of automatic transmission to "P" (Park);
put manual transmission in Neutral .
• Always let the engine cool down. Hot components will burn
skin on contact.
• To reduce the risk of being burned, never open the hood if you
see or hear steam or coolant escaping from the engine compart­
ment. Wait until no steam or coolant can be seen or heard before
carefully opening the hood .
• Keep children away from the engine compartment.
• Never spill fluids on hot engine components . They can cause a
fire.
• Never touch the radiator fan. The auxiliary electric fan is
temperature controlled and can switch on suddenly.
• Never open the coolant reservoir cap when the engine is still
warm. The coolant system is pressurized and hot coolant could
spray out.
• Protect your face, hands and arm from steam or hot engine
coolant by placing a thick rag over the cap when you open the
coolant reservoir.
• If work on the fuel system or the electrical system is necessary:
- Always disconnect the battery.
- Never smoke or work near heaters or open flames. Fluids in
the engine compartment could start a fire .
- Keep an approved fire extinguisher immediately available.
• To avoid electrical shock and personal injury while the engine
