-1
-Adjust the driver's seat or steering wheel so
that there is at least a 10 in (25 cm) dis­
tance between your chest and the steering
wheel. If you do not maintain this distance,
you will not be properly protected by the air­
bag system.
-If your physical characteristics prevent you
from
sitting at least 10 in (25 cm) or more
away from the steering wheel, see if your
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility
can provide adapters that
will help.
-
If your face is level with the steering wheel,
the airbag does not provide as much protec­
tion during a collision. Always make sure
that the steering wheel is level with your
chest.
-Always hold the steering wheel with your
hands in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi­
tions to reduce the risk of injury ifthe airbag
deploys.
- Never hold
the steering wheel in the 12
o'clock position or with both hands on the
rim or the center of the steering wheel.
Holding
the steering wheel incorrectly sig­
nificantly
increases the risk of injury to the
hands, arms and head if the airbag deploys.

-If driver's door is opened while the ignition
is
switched on, the parking brake sets auto­
matically. This prevents unintended rolling
of the vehicle.
- Occasional noises
when the parking brake is
applied
and released are normal and are not
a cause for concern.
-
When the vehicle is parked, the parking
brake goes through a self-test cycle at regu­
lar intervals. Any noises associated with this
are normal.
-If the. (USA models) I. (Cana-
da models) indicator lights or llJ indicator
lig ht
turn on, there could be a malfunction
in the park ing brake ~page 11.
-If there is a power failure, the parking brake
will not set if it is released, and it will not
release if it is set~.&.. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa­
cility for
assistance.
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~,&.
.... Turn the steering wheel when parking on in­
clines
so that the wheels will roll into the curb
if the vehicle starts moving .
A WARNING
-Always take the vehicle key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short period
of time. This applies particularly when chi l­
dren remai n in the vehicle. Otherwise the
children could start the engine, release the
parking brake or operate electrical equip­
ment (e.g. power windows). There is the risk
of an accident.
-
When the vehicle is locked, no one -particu­
larly
not children should remain in the vehi­
cle. Locked
doors make it more difficult for
emergency workers to get into the vehicle,
which
puts lives at risk.

Starting from a stop
The start assist function ensures that the park­
ing brake
is released automatically upon start­
mg.
Stopping and applying parking brake
.... Pull the switch~ to set the parking brake.
Starting and automatically releasing the
parking brake
Requirement: the driver's door must be closed
and the driver's safety belt must be fastened.
.... When you press the accelerator pedal, the
parking brake is automatically released and
your vehicle begins to move.
When stopping at a traffic signal or stopping in
city traffic, the park ing brake can be applied. The
vehicle
does not have to be held with the brake
pedal. The parking brake eliminates the tendency
to creep when a selector lever position is engag­
ed. As soon as you press the accelerator pedal,
the parking brake releases automatically and the
vehicle starts to move .
Starting on slope s
When starting on inclines, the hill start assist
prevents the vehicle from unintentionally rolling
back. The braking force
of the parking brake is
not released until sufficient driving force has
been built up at the wheels.
(0 Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is re­
l
eased automatically onl y when the driver's
safety be lt is fastened and the driver's door is
l ocked.
Emergency braking function
In the event that the conventional brake system
fails or locks.
.... To brake your vehicle in an emergency, pull the
~switch and hold it pulled.
.... As soon as you release the button or accelerate,
the braking stops. .,..

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Pulling and holding the switch while driving at a
speed
of about 2 mph (3 km/h) or higher ini­
tiates
the emergency braking function. The vehi ­
cle
is braked at all four wheels by activating the
hydraulic brake system . The brake performance is
similar to heavy braking. c> &.
In order not to activate the emergency braking by
mistake,
an audib le warning tone (buzzer)
sounds when
the switch is pulled. As soon as the
switch is released, or the accelerator pedal is de ­
pressed, emergency braking stops .
A WARNING
Emergency braking should only be used in an
emergency, when the normal brake pedal has
fai led or the brake pedal is obstructed. During
emergency braking, your vehicle
will brake
simi lar
to heavy braking. ESC and the associ ­
ated components
(ABS, ASR, EDL) cannot
overcome
the laws of physics. In corners and
when road or weather condi
tions are bad, a
full brake application can cause the vehicle to
skid or the rear end to break away, which in­
creases the risk of an accident.

Automatic transmission
S tronic
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 upshifts or downshifts auto­
matically. The driving style continuously influen­
ces the selection of the driving program.
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
transmi ssion switches to a sporty mode after
a kick-down or when the driver uses a sporty
driving 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).

sion can be operated either in the normal D mode
or in the S sport mode. To select the S sport
mode, pull the selector lever back briefly. Pulling
the lever back again will select the normal D
mode. The selected driving mode is shown in the
Infotainment display.
In
the normal mode D, the transmission auto­
matically selects the suitable gear ratio. It de­
pends on engine load, vehicle speed and driving
style.
Select the sport mode S for sporty driving. The
vehicle
makes full use of the engine's power.
Sh i
fting is may become noticeable when acce ler­
ating.

manually adjust the gears to the driving condi­
tions¢ page 68.
When parking on a level surface, simply place the
selector lever in the P position. On inclines, acti­
vate the parking brake first and then move the
selector lever to the P position ¢ page 61. This
prevents the loc kin g mechanism from being
loaded too heavily and will make it easier to
move the selector lever out of the P position.
A WARNING
-The vehicle can roll even when the engine is
switched off.
-Unintended vehicle movement can lead to
serious injuri es.
- Never leave
your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear. If you must leave
your vehicle when the engine is running , set

-Never engage the R or P selector level posi­
tions while driving. It could cause a crash .
- Before driving
down a steep slope, reduce
your speed and shift into a lower gear with
"ti ptronic".
-Do not ride the brakes or press the brake
pedal too often or too long when driving
down a hill. Constant braking causes the
brakes to overheat and substantially re­
duces braking performance, increases brak­
ing
distance or causes complete failure of
the brake system.
-If you must stop on an incline, always hold
the vehicle in place with the foot brake or
parking brake to prevent it from rolling
back.
- N
ever hold the vehicle on an incline with a
slipping clutch. The
clutch opens automati­
cally when it becomes too hot from the
overload. The mJ indicator light turns on
and a message appears¢ page 70 when
the clutch is overloaded.
-If the engine must run while you are work­
ing
in the engine compartment with the
hood open, make sure a gear is not engag­
ed. The selector lever must be firmly in the
P position and loc ked in place and the park­
ing brake must be set¢ page 236. Other­
wise, the vehicle could begin moving when
increasing the engine speed, even with the
parking brake set.
@Note
-When stopping on an incline, do not try to
hold the veh icle in place by pressing the ac­
celerator pedal while a driving gear is se­
lected. This can cause the automatic trans­
mission to overheat and can damage it. Ac­
tivate the parking brake or press the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
- Allowing
the vehicle to roll when the engine
is stopped and the selector lever is in the N

Audi active lane assist
Description
App lies to: ve h icles with Audi active lane assis t
Active lane assist detects lane marker lines with­
in the limits of the system using a camera in the
windshield. If you are approaching a detected
lane marker line and it appears likely that you
will leave
the lane, the system will warn you with
corrective
steering. You can override this steering
at any time. If you pass over a line, the steering
wheel will vibrate lightly. In order for this warn­
ing vibration to occur, it must first be switched
on in the Infotainment system. Active lane assist
is operable when the lane marker line is detected
on at least one side of the vehicle.
The
system is designed for driving on express­
ways and highways and
therefore only activates
at speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/
h) (depending on the market).
Appl i
es to vehicles with side assist*: if you acti­
vate a turn s ignal when active lane assist is ready
and it classifies a lane change as critical because
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach­
ing you, there will be noticeable corrective steer­
ing
shortly before you leave the lane. This will at­
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies
to vehicles without side assist*: the sys­
tem does not warn when it is ready if you activate
the turn signal before crossing the lane marker

line. In this case, it assumes that you are chang­
ing lanes intentionally.
A WARNING
!-="' -
-The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective steering.
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The
system can help you keep the vehicle in
the lane, but it does not drive by itself. Al­
ways keep your hands on the steering
wheel.
- Corrective
steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as during heavy braking.
- There
may be cases where the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines. Correc­
tive steering can only take place on the side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.
-Other road structures or objects could possi­
bly be identified unintentionally as lane
marker lines. As a result, corrective steering
may be
unexpected or may not occur.
- The
camera view can be restricted, for ex­
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray light shining into the
camera or by dirt on the window. This can
result in active lane assist not detecting the
lane marker lines or detecting them incor­
rectly.
- In
certain situations where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch internally from "ear­
ly" to "late" steering correction ll.
-Under certain cond itions such as ruts in the
road, an inclined roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steering alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane.
- For
safety reasons, active lane assist must
not be used when there are poor road and/
or weather conditions such as slippery
roads, fog, gravel, heavy rain,
snow and the
potential for hydroplaning . Using active lane
assist under these conditions may increase
the risk of a crash.
