Electronic stabilization
control (ESC)
Description
Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) supports
driver safety.
It reduces the risk of slipping and
improves driving stability. ESC detects critical sit
uations such as the vehicle oversteering and un
dersteering or the wheels are spinning. The vehi
cle is stabilized by applying the brakes or reduc
ing engine torque. When ESC engages, the
G1 in
dicator light blinks in the instrument cluster.
The following systems are integrated in the ESC:
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking when brak
ing. The vehicle can still be steered even during
hard braking. Apply steady pressure to the brake
pedal. Do not pump the pedal. A pulsing in the
brake pedal indicates that the system is acting to
stabilize the vehicle .
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can decrease braking dis
tance. It increases braking power when the driver
presses the brake pedal quickly in emergency sit
uations . You must press and hold the brake pedal
until the dangerous situation is over .
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
ASR reduces engine power when the drive wheels
begin spinning and adapts the force to the road
conditions. This makes it easier to start, acceler
ate and drive up hills .
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
EDL applies the brakes to a wheel that starts
spinning and transfers the drive power to the
other driving wheels. This function is not availa
ble at higher speeds.
In extreme cases, EDL automatically switches
off
to keep the brake on the braked wheel from over heating. The vehicle is still working correctly. EDL
will switch on again automatically when condi
tions have returned to normal.
88 Steering
recommendation
The ESC helps to stabilize the vehicle by changing
the steering torque.
Selective wheel torque control
Selective wheel torque control is used when driv
ing on curves. The front whee l on the inside of
the curve or both wheels on the inside of the
cu rve are braked selectively as needed. This al
lows more precise driving in curves. The applica
ble system may not activate when driving in wet
or snowy conditions.
A WARNING
- The ESC and its integrated systems cannot
overcome the limits imposed by natural physical laws. This is especially important
on slippery or wet roads. If the systems be
gin acting to stabilize your vehicle, you
should immediately alter your speed to
match the road and traffic conditions. Do
not let the increased safety provided tempt
you into taking risks. This could increase
your risk of a collision .
- Please note the risk of a collision increases
when driving fast, especially through curves
and on slippery or wet roads, and when driv ing too close to objects ahead. The ESC and
its integrated systems cannot always pre
vent collisions -there is still a risk of acci
dents!
- Press the accelerator pedal carefully when
accelerating on even, slippery surfaces such
as ice and snow. The drive wheels can spin
even when these control systems are instal
led and this can affect driving stability and
increase the risk of a collision.
(j) Tips
-The ABS and ASR only function correctly
when all four wheels have a similar wear
condition. Different tire sizes can lead to a
reduction in engine power.
- You may hear noises when the systems de
scribed are working.

Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not achieve their fu ll braking
effect duri ng the first 250 mi (400 km) . They
must be "broke n in" first. Howeve r, you can com
pensate fo r th e slightly reduced braking force by
pressing f irm ly on the b rake pedal. Avo id heavy
bra king du rin g the brea k-in pe riod .
Wear
Brake pad wear depends largely on the way the
vehicle is driven and on operating conditions.
T his is espec ially true if yo u are dr iv ing freq uently
in t he ci ty and o n curves or w ith a spo rty d rivi ng

Operating nois e
Noises may occur when br aking depend ing on the
speed, b raking force and outside cond itions such
as tempe rature and humidity.
Effect of water and road salt
I n ce rtain s ituations, for example after driving
through wa ter, in heavy ra in, afte r ove rnig ht con
densat ion or after washing your car, the braking
effect can be reduced by moisture or ice on the
brake rotors and brake pads. The brakes must be
"dried" first w ith a few careful brake applica
tions.
At highe r speeds and with the windshie ld wipers
turned on, the brake pads press against the brake rotors for a short amount of time . Th is action,
which is not felt by the driver, happens at regular
intervals and ensures a better reaction time for
the brakes in wet weather .
The braking eff ect can also be reduced if you are
driving on salted roads and you do not apply the
brakes for long periods of time. The layer of salt
on the brake rotors and pads must be worn off
first when the brakes are applied .
Corrosion
Leaving the vehicle parked for long periods of
time, low mi leage and avoiding heavy braking
can contribute to corrosion on the brake rotors
and to dirty brake pads .
If you usually avoid heavy braking or if there is
corros ion present, occasional heavy braking at
h igh speeds is recommended to clean the brake
rotors and pads
¢ ,& .
Brake system malfunct ion
if you notice that the brake pedal travel has sud
denly increased, then a brake c ircuit in the dual
circu it brake system may have malfunct ioned.
Drive to an authorized Aud i dea ler or aut horized
Aud i Serv ice Facility immediately to have t he
p roblem co rrected . On the way there, drive with
reduced speed and keep in mi nd that you w ill
need a longer d istance to s top and you w ill need
to p ress the brake pedal har der.

Low brake fluid level
When the brake fluid level is low, m alfunc tions in
the b rake system may occur . The brake fluid leve l
i s e lectronically monitored .
Brake booster
The brake booster ampl ifies the press ure you ap
ply to the brake pedal.
_&. WARNING
- New brake pads do no t achieve the ir full
braking effect during the first 2 50 m i
-
(400 km). They m ust be "b roken in" first .
However, you can compensate fo r the
slightly reduced braking force by pressing
firm ly on the brake pedal. Avoid heavy brak
ing during the break-in period .
- On ly app ly the bra kes for the purpose of
cleaning the brake system when road and
traffic conditions permit. You must not en danger other road users . This increases the
ris k of an accident.
- On steep slopes, reduce the speed and se
lect a lower gear o r lower selector leve r po·
si tion. D rive as little as possible while press
ing the bra ke pedal and avoi d pu tting your
left foot on the brake pedal while dr iv ing.
This could cause the bra kes to overhea t and
impair the efficiency of the b rakes.
- Do not let the bra kes "grind" by always
keep ing your foot on the bra ke pe dal. This
can cause the brakes to overheat, inc rease
wear and increase braking distance unneces
sarily .
- Ce rtain weather and operating conditions
such as d riving through water, dr iv ing in
heavy rain or driv ing after wash ing your ve
hicle can impai r the effective ness of the
brakes . In t he win ter, ice may build up o n
the bra ke pa ds, rotors and dr ums. Check
t hese components by b raking carefully. Ap
plyi ng the brakes carefully seve ral times
dries the brakes and removes ice build-up .
- The efficiency o f th e brakes can also be im
p air ed by dr iv ing for long s tretches on roads
covered with sa lt wi thout using the bra kes .

brake rotors and pads by caref ull y applying
the brakes several t imes .
-If the front spoiler is damaged or you install
another spoiler, make sure the front wheel
brakes are vent ilated properly. Otherwise,
the brake system could overheat, wh ich re
duces the ir effectiveness .
- Failure of a brake circuit impairs b raking
performance , which increases brak ing dis
tance. Avoid driving the vehicle and have it
towed it to the nearest author ized Audi
dealer or author ized A udi Se rvice Facility.
- Never let the vehicle roll while t he engine is
stopped because this increases the risk of a n
acc iden t.
- If the bra ke booste r is not working, you will
have to press m uch ha rder on the bra ke
ped al to compensate for the lac k of th e
booster.
- Never let the brakes "rub " by pressing the
pedal light ly when bra king is no t actually
ne cessary . T his cause s the brakes to over
hea t and i ncre ases br aking di stance and
ca uses wear.
- B efo re driv ing downh ill a long dis tance on a
steep h ill, decrease your speed and se lec t a
l ower gear . This makes use of the engine
braking effect and relieves the brakes . If
you need to b rake additionally, brake in in
tervals and not continuously.
@ Tips
- If the brake booste r is not working, you
must press the brake pedal with much more
fo rce than normal.
- If you retrofit yo ur vehicle with a front spoil
er, whee l
covers or similar items, make sure
that the air flow to the front whee ls is not
i nterr upted . Otherw ise the brake system

and have the cooling system inspected. If the
cooling system is not leaking, a loss can come
from the coolant boiling through overheating
and being pushed out of the cooling system.
A WARNING
The cooling system is pressurized and can be
come very hot . To reduce the risk of burns
from hot coolant:
- Do not open the coolant expansion tank cap when the eng ine is hot. This increases the
risk of burns.
- Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
- Protect your face, hands and arms from es-
caping coolant and steam by covering the
coolant tank cap with a large, thick cloth .
- Turn the coolant tank cap counterclockwise
slowly and keep light pressure on the cap .
- To reduce the risk of burns, do not allow any
antifreeze or coolant to drip onto the ex
haust system or hot engine components .
The ethylene g lycol in engine coolant can
catch fire under certain circumstances.
- The coolant add itive and the coolant can be
dangerous to your health. For this reason,
keep the coolant in the original container
and away from children. There is a risk of
poisoning.
- When working in the engine compartment,
remember that the radiator fan can sw itch
on even if the ignition is switched off, which
increases the risk of injury.
(D Note
Do not add coolant if the expansion tank is
empty . Air could enter the cooling system and
damage the engine. If this is the case, do not
cont inue driving. See an authorized Audi deal
er or authorized Audi Service Facility for assis
tance.

Care and cleaning
wash operator to reduce the risk of acci
dents.
- To reduce the risk of cuts, protect yourself
from sharp metal components when wash ing the underbody or the inside of the wheel
housings.
- After washing the vehicle, the braking effect
may be delayed due to moisture on the
brake rotors or ice in the winter. This in
creases the risk of an accident. The brakes
must be dried first with a few careful brake
applications.
(D Note
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must retract the extendable rear
spoi ler* if necessary, and fold the exterior
mirrors in to reduce the risk of damage.
Power folding exterior mirrors* must only
be folded in and out using the power folding
function .
- To reduce the risk of paint damage, do not
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. -
To reduce the risk of damage to the surface,
do not use insect removing sponges, kitchen
sponges or similar items.
- Matte finish painted vehicle components:
- To reduce the risk of damage to the sur-
face, do not use polishing agents or hard
wax.
- Never use 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 veh icle in facilities spec ially de
signed for that purpose. This will reduce the
risk of dirty water contaminated with oil from
entering the sewer system.
