Transmission S tronic transmission
Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with a S tronic trans­ miss ion, also called a double-clutch system/
transmission.
Power is transferred between the engine and
the transmission by means of two i ndepend­
ent clutches. They replace the to rque convert­
e r of conventional automat ic transm iss ions
and a llow the vehicle to acce lerate without a
noticeable break in the power flow .
W ith the aid
of tiptr oni c, the gea rs can op ­
tionally be sh ifted
manually¢ page 84.
Selector lever positions
All the selector lever positions are explained
in this section.
F ig . 89 Display: Selector lever position
The instrument cluster display shows these ­
l ector lever position.
P -Park loc k
In th is position the gea rs are mechan ically
l ocked .
The park lock must on ly be engaged with the
ve hicle
stationary¢ /1. .
To engage P and to remove the lever from th is
position, you must depress the release button
(button in the selector lever handle)
and si­
multaneously you must step on the brake
pedal.
Tran sm iss ion 8 1
R -re ver se
In this position, reverse is engaged.
Reverse gear must only be engaged w ith the
vehicle
stationary and the engine ru nning at
idle speed ¢
/1..
To engage R, you have to depress the release
button
and simultaneously step on the brake
pedal. I n the R pos ition, the bac k-up lights il­
luminate w ith the ignition on.
N -Neutral
The transm iss ion is in neutral in this pos ition.
D -Normal po sition fo r dri ving fo rward
In this position, the forward gears are auto­
matically shifted up and down, depending on
engine load and vehicle speed.
T o engage D from
N, the brake pedal must be
depressed at speeds below 3 mph (5 km/h) or
when the vehicle is stationary¢&. .
In certa in circ umstances (driving in the moun­
tains for examp le) it can be beneficia l to
switch temporari ly to the man ual shift pro­
gram ¢
page 84 in order to adjust the gear
ratios to driving conditions
manually .
S -Sport setting
The S set ting should be se lected for sporty
driving. The power reserves of the engine can
be fully exploited through later upshifts.
T o e ngage 5 from N, the b rake peda l must be
depressed at speeds below 3 mph (5 km/h) or
when the vehicle is stationary¢&. .
A WARNING
-Never p lace the selector lever i n the R or
P posit ion while the veh icle is moving -
risk of an accident!
- With the engine r unning, it is necessary
to hold the vehicle with the foot brake in
all se lector lever positions (except P and
N), because even at idle speed the trans­
fe r of power is never completely inter­
r u pted -the vehicle "creeps". If t he vehi­
cle is stat io nary and the transm ission is

Driving Notes
The forward gears are shifted up or down au­
tomatically.

Starting the engine
.. The selector lever must be in the P or the N
position. At low temperatures (below -10
0 (), the engine can only be started when the
selector lever is in the P position .
Starting from stop
.. Step on and hold the brake pedal.
.. Hold the release button (button in se lector
lever) down, move the selector lever to the
desired position, for example D
c:> page 81,
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 these­
lector 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 "roll­
back"
¢ _& . Do not try to prevent the vehi­
cle from rolling back by rewing the engine
while it is in gear.
Transmission 83
Starting on a hill
.. Apply the hand brake firmly.
.. With the engine in gear, gradually acceler-
ate and release the hand brake.
The engine can only be
started with the selec ­
tor lever in P or N
c:> page 7 3. At low amb ient
temperatures (14
°F /-10 °C), it is only possi­
ble 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 park­
ing 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 .
A WARNING
- Never leave your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear . If you must leave
your veh icle 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, Sor R) or in
"t iptroni c" 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 accident!
- Never place the selector lever in the R or
N position while the vehicle is moving -
risk of an accident!
- If you have to bring your vehicle to a stop
while on an incline, keep the foot brake depressed all the way down so that the
vehicle does not start to roll backward .
You should never hold the vehicle using
the clutch if you are going to be stopped
on an incline. If you do, the clutch w ill
start to slip when it overheats caused by
the constant overload. This is dangerous .,.

84 Transmi ssion
because if the veh icle starts to roll
backward, you could cause an accident. If
the clutch should start to slip, you will
feel the vehicle "jerk" and the selector lever disp lay will start b linki ng .
- Before driv ing down a steep slope, re­
duce you r speed and shift into a lower
gear with "tiptronic" .
- Do not ride the brakes or app ly the brake
peda l too often or too lo ng . Constant
braking causes the b rakes to over heat
and substan tially red uces bra king pe r­
fo rm ance, in cr ease s bra king dis tance or
c a uses comp lete failure o f th e b rake sys­
tem.
Hill Descent Assist
Hill Descent Assist helps the driver when driv­
ing down inclines .
Hill Descent Ass ist is activated by pressing the
b rake w hile desce nding w hen the selecto r lev ­
e r i s in D/S. The S tronic t ra nsm ission au to­
mat ically shifts dow n to a gea r su itab le for
the incline. Hill Descent Assist at tempts to
maintain th e current vehicle spe ed whe n the
brak ing occu rs, as far as phys ica l and techni­
cal lim its a llow. It may be necessary to adjust
the speed using the brakes.
Hill Descent Assist switches off when the in­
cline levels out or when the gas pedal is press­
ed.
On vehi cles with cruise contro l* ¢
page 77 ,
Hill Descent Assist is a lso activated when the
speed is set.
_& WARNING
H ill Descent Assist ca nnot overcome p hys i­
cal limitations, so it may not be possib le to
ma intain a constant vehicle speed under
all circ ums tances . Always be ready to ap­
ply t he bra kes .
tiptronic operation
Tiptronic allows the driver to shift gears man­
ually .

Downshifting
... Tap the selector lever backward (in t he tip-
tronic setting)
Q .
Switch ing to man ual can be carried out with
the vehicle stationary as we ll a s mov ing .
When accelerating, the transmission sh ifts in ­
to th e next gear in gears 1, 2, 3, 4 and S
shortly before the maximum permissible en -
gine speed is reached. ..,.

If you have selected a lower gear than the cur­
rent one, the transmission will only shift down
when the engine cannot be overspeeded .
If kick-down is actuated, the transmission
shifts into a lower gear independent ly of
speed and engine rpm .
Steering wheel with Tiptronic controls
The selector paddles allow the driver to keep
both hands on the steering wheel when shift­
ing gears.

Shifting down
.. Pull the left paddle, marked 0 ¢ fig. 94
briefly towards you.
The selector paddles on the steering wheel
are activated when the selector lever on the
center console is in D, Sor in the manual posi­
tion (Tiptronic mode).
You can also shift gears in the Tiptronic mode
using the selector lever on the center console.
@ Tips
With the gear selector lever in either Dor
S the transmission will switch back to the
automatic mode if you do not use the pad­
dles within approx . 30 seconds.
Transmission 85
Kick -down feature
The kick-down feature allows maximum ac­
celeration .
If you depress the accelerator pedal fully be­
yond the full-throttle position, the transmis­
sion automatically downshifts one gear, de ­
pending on vehicle speed and engine rpm. The
upshift into the next higher gear takes place
as soon as the maximum specified engine
speed is reached.
_&. WARNING
Please note that the drive wheels can spin
if the kick-down is used on a smooth slip­
pery road -risk of sk idding!
Launch Control Program
The Launch Control Program permits maxi­
mum acceleration.
In order to use Launch Control, the ASR (Anti­
Slip Regulation) must be disabled. When ASR
is disabled, the ESC warning/indicator light
I) in the instrument cluster illuminates. So
that Launch Control can be used, the engine must be at operating temperature and the
steering wheel must not be turned .
.. With the engine running, briefly press the
ESC button . The message "Stabilization pro­
gram off" or "Sport control Warning! Re­
stricted stability" in the driver information
system display.
.. Shift the gear lever to "S" or the tiptron ic
position .
.. Step on the brake pedal with your left foot
and keep the brake pedal fully depressed for
at least one second .
.. With your right foot, step on the accelerator
to the wide-open throttle position or Kick­
down. The engine speed settles at about
3,200 rpm.
.. Take your left foot off the brake.

86 Transmis sion
& WARNING ,-
- Always adapt your driving to the traffic
flow.
- Only use Launch Control when road and
traffic conditions allow it and other driv­
ers will not be endangered or annoyed by
your driving and the acceleration of the
vehicle .
- Make sure that ESC remains enabled.
With the ESC disabled, the vehicle could
brake away, particularly on a slick and
slippery road - risk of skidding!
- Once acce lerat ion is finished, switch ASR
on again by briefly pushing the ESC but­
ton.
(j) Tips
- The transmission temperature may in­
crease significantly after using the Launch Control Program. If that hap­
pens, the program may not be available
for a few minutes.
It will be available
again after a cool-down period.
- When accelerating using the Launch
Control program, all vehicle parts are
subject to heavy loads . This can result in
increased wear.
Back-up program
In the event of a system malfunction, there is
a back-up program.
In the event of system malfunction, the auto­
matic transmission switches to the fail-safe
mode. Al l of the selector lever position dis­
plays for the automatic transmission are high­
lighted with a light background in the instru­
ment cluster display . In some cases you can­
not use reverse gear any more.
If the transmission switches to fail-safe mode, you should take the vehicle to an au­
thorized Audi dealership as soon as possible
to have the condition corrected .
Clutch is overheating
• Clutch is overheating! Please stop vehi­
cle!
If the symbols are illum inated, the clutch is
overheating and could be damaged if you con­
t inu e to drive. Stop the vehicle and allow the
transmission to cool with the se lector lever in
the P position while the engine runs at idle. If
the warning does not turn off, do not continue driving. See your authorized Audi dealer or
qualified repair facility for assistance. Other­
wise serious transmission damage could re­
sult . Once the indicator light has turned off,
drive to your authorized Audi dealer or quali ­
fied repa ir facility immed iately to have the
malfunction corrected .
Selector lever emergency release
If the vehicle's power supply fails, the selec ­
tor lever can be released in an emergency.

miles
(11500 km) and
afterwards
New engine
The engine needs to be run-in during the first
1,000 miles (1 ,500 km) .
For the first 600 mile s (1,000
kilometre s):
.,. Do not use full throttle .
.,. Do not drive at engine speeds that are more
than 2/3 of the max imimum permitted
RPM .
.,. Avoid high engine speeds.
From 600 to 1,000 miles (1 ,000 to
1,500 kilometres):
.. Speeds can gradually be increased to the
maximum pe rm iss ib le road or eng ine speed .
During and after break-in period
.. Do not rev the engine up to high speeds
when it is cold . T hi s applies whether the
transmission is in N (Neutral) o r in gear.
After the break- in period
.. Do not exceed max imum eng ine speed un­
der any circumstances .
.. Upshift into the next hig her gear
before
reaching the red area at the end of the tach­
ometer scale
<::;> page 10.
During the first few hours of driving, the en­
g ine 's inter na l friction is higher than later
when all the moving pa rts have been broken
i n. How well this break-in p rocess is done de­
pends to a considerable ex tent on the way t he
ve hicl e is driven d uring the first 1,000 miles
(1, 500 kilome tres) .
(D Note
Extremely high engine speeds a re auto­
mat ic al ly reduced. However, t hese RPM-

limits were programmed for an eng ine
well run-in, not a new eng ine.
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not d rive wi th unnecessar ily h igh en­
gine speeds -upshifting ear ly saves f uel,
r educes noise and protects the environ­
ment.
New tires
If your vehicle is running on new tires, drive
particularly carefu l for the first 350 miles
(500 ki lometres) after fitting .
A WARNING
-New tires tend to be s lippery and must a l-
so be "b roken-in". Be s ure to remembe r
this dur ing t he firs t 35 0 m iles (500 kilo­
me tres) . Brake gent ly . Avo id following
closely behind other vehicles or other sit­ uations that m ight require sudden, hard
b raking.
New brake pads
Remember that new brake pads do not have a
full brak ing effect during the first 250 miles
(400 kilometres) after they are installed.
New brake pads have to be "burnished in" be­
fore they have optima l grab¢ .&..
D uring the break-in period, yo u should avoid
putting seve re loads on the brakes . Severe
l oads include, for example, su dden hard brak­
ing, in particular at very h igh speeds or, for
example, on mou nta in passes.
A WARNING
Until t hey develop the maximum "bite" fo r
best stopping power, the s urfaces on new
b rake pads requ ire some "brea king- in" dur­
in g the initial 10 0 to 150 miles (15 0 to
20 0 kilome tres) of normal c ity dr iv ing. Yo u
can compensate for this by press ing the
b rake peda l more f irm ly . This applies
whenever new pads are installed.
