on. T o prevent engine damage, please
observe the following notes about the tempera­
ture ranges.
Cold range
If o nly the LEDs in the left area of the gauge turn
on, the engine has not reached operating tem­
perature yet. Avoid high engine speeds, full ac­
celerating and heavy engine loads.
Normal range
The engine has reached its operating tempera­
ture once the LEDs up to the center of the gauge
turn on under normal driving conditions . The
LEDs farther to the right may turn on if the en­
gine is under heavy load or the outside tempera­
ture is high. This is no cause for concern as long

as the. indicator light in the Infotainment dis­
play does not turn on. If the red LED in the rig ht
s ide of the display and the. indicator light in
the d isplay turn on, the coolant temperature is
too high ~page 12.
CD Note
-Auxi lia ry headlights and other ac cessories in
front of the cooling-air intake impair th e
cooling
effect o f the coolant. T his increases
the risk of the engine overheating during
high
outside temperatures and heavy en­
gine load.
- T
he front spoiler also helps to distribute
cooling air correctly while driving. If the
spoiler is damaged, the cooling effect will
be impaired and the risk of the engine over­
heating will increase . See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa­
c ility

Automatic dynamic headlight range control
system*
Your vehicle is equipped with a headlight range
control system
so that the headlights do not
blind oncoming traffic if the vehicle load
changes. The headlight range also
adjusts auto­
matically when braking and accelerating .
Light functions
The following light functions are available de­
pending on vehicle equipment and only function
when the
light switch is in the AUTO position.
You can deactivate these functions in the Info­
tainment system under Audi adaptive light
Qpage 37.
Static cornering light* (vehicles with LED head­
lights) -the cornering light switches on automat­
ically when the steeri ng wheel is turned at acer­
tain angle at speeds up to approximately 44 mph
(70 km/h) and when the turn signal is activated
at speeds up to approxim ately 25 mph (40 km/
h). The area
to the side of the vehicle is illuminat­
ed better when turning.
Highway light function* (vehicles with LED head­
lights) -this function adapts the lighting for
highwa y driving based on vehicle speed.
Speed dependent light distribution* (vehicles
with LED headlights) -the speed dependent light
distribution adapts the light in towns and on
highways
or expressways. Intersections can also
be illuminated on vehicles
with a navigation sys­
tem*.
A WARNING
- Automatic headlights * are only intended to
assist the driver. They do not reliev e the
driver
of responsibility to check the head­
lights and to turn them on manually accord­
ing to the current ligh t and visibility condi­
tions. For example, fog cannot be detected
by
the light sensors . So always switch on the
low beam under these weather conditions
and when
driving in the dark ~D.
-If the battery is dra ining significantly, the
parking lights will switch off automatically
to reduce the risk of the engine not starting . ..,..

or damp weather, the inside of the
headlights, turn signals and tail lights can
fog over due to the temperature difference
between the inside and outside. They will
clear shortly after switching them on. This
does not affect the service life of the light­
ing.

- The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver is still responsib le for
manually switching the wipers on according
to the visibility conditions .
- The windsh ield may
not be treated with wa­
ter-repelling windshield coating agents. Un­
favorable conditions, such as wetness, dark­
ness, and when
the sun is low, can cause in­
creased glare which increases
the risk of an
accident.
Wiper blade chatter is also possi­
b l
e.
-Properly functioning windshield wiper
b lad
es are required for a clear view and safe
driving
<:::>page 42, Replacing windshield
wiper blades.
CD Note
-In the case of frost, check whether the
windshield wiper blades are frozen to the
windshield. Switching on the windshield
wipers
can damage the w ip er blades!
-
Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
w ip er system
must be switched off (lever in
position
0). This prevents unintentiona l
switching on and damage
to the windsh ield
wiper system .
@Tips
-The windshie ld wipers switch off when the
ignition is turned off. Activate the wind­
shield wipers
after the ignition is switched
back on by moving
the windshield wiper lev­
er
to any position.
-
Worn or dirty windshie ld wiper blades result
in streaking.
This can affect the rain sensor*
function .
Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly .
- The washer fluid nozzles in
the windshield
washer system are heated*
at low tempera­
tures when
the ignition is on.
- When stopping
temporarily, such as at a
traffic light, the speed of the windshield
w ipers automatically reduces by one level.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine -To reduce the risk of cuts, protect yourself
from sharp metal components when wash­
ing th e underbody or the inside of the wheel
housings.
- After
washing the vehicle, the brak ing effect
may be delayed due to moisture on the
brake rotors or ice in the w inter. The brakes
must be dried first w ith a few careful brake
applications.
CD Note
-If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, yo u must retract the extendable rear
spoiler* if necessary, and fold the exterior
mirrors in to red uce the risk of damage.
Power folding exterior mirrors* must on ly
be fol
ded in and ou t u sing the power folding
function.
-
To p reve nt paint d amage, d o not wash th e
vehicle in dir
ect sunlight.
Care and cleaning
- To red uce the risk of damage to the surface,
do
not use insect removing sponges, kitchen
sponges or s imilar items.
-
Matte finish painted veh icle components:
-To reduce the risk of damage to the sur-
face, do not use polishing agents or hard
wax.
- Never u
se protective wax. It can destroy
the matte finish effect.
-
Do not place any stickers or magnetic
signs on vehicle parts painted with matte
finish paint. The paint could be damaged
when the stickers or magnets are re­
moved .
@ For the sake of the environment
Only wash the vehicle in facilities sp ec ia ll y de­
signed for that pu rpose. This will reduce the
risk of dirty water contamina ted with oil from
entering the sewer sys tem.
