( Q)) Brake system
If the warning lamp lights up, there is a fault in
the brake system.
• Brakes: stop vehicle and check brake fluid
level
Stop the vehicle and check the brake fluid level.
Obtain professional assistance if necessary .
• Warning! Brake servo inoperative
You need to apply much more force to operate
the brakes if the brake servo fails. Obtain profes­
sional assistance.
• Brakes: fault. Safely stop vehicle
If the ABS indicator lamp Ii] and ESC indicator
lamp DJ light up together with the brake warn­
ing lamp .
and this driver message appears,
the ABS, ESC and brake force distribution sys­
tems have failed ¢ A. •
Parking brake: fault. See owner's manual
- If the warning lamp and the message appear
after you switch on the ignition when the ve­
hicle is stationary, please check whether you
can release the parking brake. If the parking
brake cannot be released you should obtain
professional assistance. If the parking brake
can be released but the warning lamp/message
still appears, drive to a qualified workshop
without delay and have the fault rectified.
- If the warning lamp and the message appear
while driving, there may be a malfunction in
the parking brake auto release or the emergen­
cy brake functions. You may not be able to ap­
ply or release the parking brake. Do not park
the car on a gradient. Obtain professional assis­
tance.
A WARNING
- Before opening the bonnet and checking the
brake fluid level, observe the warning infor­
mation on ¢ page 220, Working on compo­
nents in the engine compartment.
- If the brake warning lamp does not go out,
or if it lights up when driving, the brake flu­
id level in the reservoir is too low -this may
cause an increased accident risk. Stop the
vehicle and do not drive on. Obtain profes­
sional assistance.
- If the brake warning lamp lights up togeth­
er with the ABS indicator lamp and the ESC
indicator lamp, this can mean that the con­
trol function of the ESC/ABS is not working.
Input from the functions that stabilise the
vehicle is no longer available. This could
cause the tail of the vehicle to skid side­
ways. Drive carefully to the nearest qualified
works hop and have the fault rectified.

the coolant level¢ page 224.
- If the coolant level is too low, add more coolant
¢ page 225. Do not drive on until the warning
lamp has gone out.

fan. Do not drive on. Obtain professional assis­
tance.

run with vehicle stationary
Let the engine cool down by running it at idling
speed for a few minutes.

check regularly that the emergency key is still
present in the remote control key casing.
@ Spare key
This key is intended for temporary use only and
should be used only in an emergency. Keep it in a
safe place and do not carry it on the keyring.
Replacing a key
If you should lose a key, please contact an Audi
dealer. Have the remote control coding for that
key deactivated. For this purpose you should
bring all available keys with you. It is also impor­
tant to notify your insurance company if a key has
been lost.
Number of keys
You can check how many keys are initialised for
your vehicle using the infotainment system. Se­
lect the following on the infotainment system:
I MENU I
button >Car> left control button > Serv­
icing & checks > Initialised keys. This feature en­
ables used car buyers to make sure they have re­
ceived all of the keys.
Electronic immobiliser
The immobiliser is designed to prevent unauthor­
ised persons from driving the vehicle.
It may not be possible to start the engine with
the key if there is another ignition key from a dif­
ferent make of vehicle on the same key ring.
Data stored on remote control key
Data related to the service and maintenance of
the vehicle are stored continuously on your re­
mote control key while you are driving. Your Audi
dealer can read out the data and will then be able
to tell you what service work is required. This also
applies to vehicles with convenience key*.
Personal convenience settings
If two people use the same car regularly, it is a
good idea for each person to have his or her
"own" remote control key. When you switch off
the ignition or lock the vehicle, your personal set­
tings for the following convenience features are
stored and assigned to the remote control key:
- Air conditioner
26 -
Central locking system
-Windows
- Background lighting*
- Parking aid*
- Active lane assist*
- Side assist*
- Drive select
The stored settings are then recalled automati­
cally the next time the vehicle is unlocked, the
doors are opened or the ignition is switched on.
_& WARNING
Always take the key with you when leaving the
vehicle -even if you only intend to be gone for
a short time. This is especially important if
children are left in the car. They might other­
wise be able to start the engine or use power­
operated equipment such as the electric win­
dows -this could lead to injuries.
The function of the remote control key may be
impaired by interference from other nearby
radio signals (for example from a mobile tele­
phone or TV transmitter) if these are in the
same frequency range.

for instance whether it is in your jacket pock­
et or in a briefcase.
The locking function may be affected if you grasp
the door handle while the vehicle is being locked.
Once the doors have been locked, they cannot be
opened again immediately. This will enable you
to check that the doors are properly closed.
The system will unlock either all the doors or only
one of the doors, depending on the settings you
have chosen on the infotainment system
¢page 30.
_& WARNING
On vehicles with an anti-theft alarm system*,
do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the car if it is locked from the outside and the
safelock mechanism* is activated: the doors
and windows cannot then be opened from the
inside ¢ page 31. Locked doors could delay
assistance in an emergency, potentially put­
ting lives at risk.
((I)) Note
Please note the following points if the vehicle
is left parked for long periods:
- To save electrical power, the proximity sen­
sors are switched off after a few days. You
will then need to pull the door handle once
to unlock the vehicle, and a second time to
open it.
- To prevent the battery from becoming dis­
charged and thus maintain the vehicle's
starting ability for as long as possible, the
power management system will gradually
switch off convenience functions that are
not required. In this case you may not be
able to unlock the vehicle with this conven­
ience function. Doors

Your vehicle is equipped with an electro-mechani­
cal parking brake. The parking brake replaces the
conventional handbrake, and is mainly intended
to prevent the vehicle from rolling away acciden­
tally.
66 However,
the electro-mechanical parking brake
also offers a number of convenience and safety
features in addition to the functions of a normal
handbrake.
When driving away
- The parking brake auto release function relea­
ses the parking brake automatically when you
wish to start moving ¢ page 67, Driving away
from a standstill.
- When
driving away on a gradient, the parking
brake auto release function prevents the vehicle
from rolling back unintentionally. The braking
force of the parking brake is only released when
there is enough power at the wheels to make
the vehicle move in the desired direction.
Emergency braking function
An emergency braking function enables you to
stop the vehicle even if the conventional foot
brake should fail to work ¢ page 68, Emergen­
cy braking function.

gaged and the engine is running with the ve­
hicle stationary. The vehicle could otherwise
start moving immediately and possibly
cause an accident.
- It is not possible to apply the parking brake
if the electrical power supply fails. In this
case, park the vehicle on a Level surface and
select 1st gear (manual gearbox) or move
the selector Lever to position P (automatic
gearbox) to prevent it from rolling. Obtain
professional assistance.
