The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the
Technical data section ¢ page 288.
CD CAUTION
Never run the tank completely dry. If there is
an irregular fuel supply, misfiring can occur.
Unburnt fuel can then enter the exhaust sys­
tem. This can lead to overheating and dam­
age to the catalytic converter.
Warning and indicator
Lamps
Description
The warning and indicator lamps light up or flash
in the instrument cluster. Their purpose is to in­
dicate functions or faults.
Some of the warning and indicator lamps may be
accompanied by a driver message and a warning
tone. The warning/indicator lamps and driver
messages on the display can be masked by fur­
ther displays. To display a warning or message
again, use the controls on the multi-function
steering wheel to select the display tab for warn­
ing/indicator lamps and messages ¢ page 20.
If several malfunctions have occurred, you can
use the thumbwheel to scroll through them on
the display.
Some of the warning lamps may be displayed in
different colours.
Overview
When you switch on the ignition, some of the
warning and indicator lamps light up briefly to
show that the associated systems are working
properly. These systems are marked with a../ in
the following tables. If one of these warning/in­
dicator lamps does not light up, there is a fault in
the associated system.

(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 liJ 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 ¢ .&. .
• Parking brake: fault. Safely stop vehicle.
Please contact workshop
- 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 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 244, 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
workshop and have the fault rectified.
C®) Electro-mechanical parking brake
The warning lamp.
lights up when the parking
brake is applied.
• Parking brake: caution! Vehicle parked too
steep
If the warning lamp flashes and the message ap­
pears, the brake may not be strong enough to
hold the vehicle. The brakes have overheated.
The vehicle can roll away, even on a gentle slope.
• Press brake pedal to release parking brake
To release the parking brake, press the brake
pedal and simultaneously press the� button
(alternatively, use the auto release function
¢ page 75, Moving off).
rlJ Parking brake: fault. See owner's manual
There is a malfunction in the parking brake. Drive
to a qualified workshop without delay and have
the fault rectified.

The oil pressure warning lamp is not an indi­
cator for the oil level. The oil level should
therefore be checked regularly.
0 Alternator/vehicle battery
• Electrical system: fault. Battery is not being
charged
There is an alternator fault or a fault in the vehi­
cle's electrical system.
Drive to a qualified workshop without delay.
However, you should avoid using electrical equip­
ment that is not absolutely necessary because
this will drain the battery. If the battery charge is
insufficient, obtain professional assistance.
ri1 Electrical system: low battery charge. Bat­
tery will be charged while driving
Starting reliability may be impaired.
If this message disappears after a while, the ve­
hicle battery will have been sufficiently charged
while driving.
If the message does not disappear again, drive to
a qualified workshop without delay and have the
fault rectified.
� Engine stopped while vehicle is moving
• Engine stopped: brake servo and power
steering not possible
There is a malfunction in the engine or fuel sup­
ply system.
Greater strength is required to steer and brake
the vehicle if the engine stops while the vehicle is
coasting. Carefully try to bring the coasting vehi­
cle safely to a standstill out of the way of moving
traffic. Obtain professional assistance.
_& WARNING
Greater strength is required to brake the vehi­
cle if the engine stops while the vehicle is
moving -risk of accident! Greater strength
will be required to steer the vehicle unless the
power steering is still providing assistance. The
power steering may still be available if
the vehicle is still coasting with the ignition
switched on (and the battery charge is suffi­
cient).

there is a malfunction in the anti-lock brake sys­
tem or electronic differential lock. This will also
cause an ESC malfunction. The vehicle can still be
braked in the normal way (however the ABS con­
trol function will be out of action).
Drive to a qualified workshop without delay and
have the fault rectified.
_& WARNING
If the brake warning lamp. lights up to­
gether with the ABS indicator lamp and the
ES( indicator lamp, this can mean that the
control function of the ESC/ ABS is not work­
ing. Input from the functions that stabilise
the vehicle is no longer available. This could
cause the vehicle to skid sideways. Drive care­
fully to the nearest qualified workshop and
have the fault rectified.

24 Rev
counter
The rev counter indicates the number of engine
revolutions per minute.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the
maximum engine speed which may be used brief­
ly in all gears when the engine is warm and after
it has been run in properly. However, it is advisa­
ble to change up a gear or move the selector lev­
er to D/S (or lift your foot off the accelerator) be­
fore the needle reaches the red zone.
Shift light display in the rev counter
Applies to: vehicles with Audi virtual cockpit and shift light
display
The shift light display is only visible in the sport
view* ¢ page 25 when shifting gears in tiptron­
ic mode. Green, yellow and red zones are dis­
played in the high-rev area of the dial. The entire
rev counter flashes in red at engine speeds near
the limit. Remember to shift to the next gear in
good time.
CD CAUTION
The rev counter needle must only ever briefly
go into the red zone on the scale; otherwise
there is a risk of engine damage. The start of
the red zone on the dial is different for some
engine versions.
@ For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to save
fuel and minimise engine noise.

WARNING
- Never press the accelerator pedal or release
the clutch inadvertently if a gear is engaged
or if the selector lever is not in position P or
N (on automatic vehicles) while the vehicle
is stationary with the engine running. The
vehicle will otherwise start moving immedi­
ately and could cause an accident.
- You should only use the emergency braking
function in a real emergency, for example if
the brake system were to fail or if the brake
pedal were to be obstructed. If you use the
emergency braking function by activating
the parking brake switch, this has the same
effect as heavy braking. Please remember
that the ESC (and the integrated ABS, EDL
and traction control functions) is still sub­
ject to certain physical limits. In a corner or
in bad road or weather conditions an emer­
gency stop can cause the vehicle to skid or
lose steering control.
- 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.
- Always take the key with you when leaving
your vehicle -even if you only intend to be
gone for a short time. This is especially im­
portant if children are left in the car. They
might otherwise be able to start the engine,
release the parking brake or use power-op­
erated equipment such as the electric win­
dows -this could lead to injuries.
- Do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the vehicle when it is locked. Locked doors
could delay assistance in an emergency, po­
tentially putting lives at risk.
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
You can apply the parking brake manually or
switch on the hold assist* when stopping at
traffic lights, etc. You do not then have to
hold the car with the brake pedal, as the Driving
brakes will stop it creeping forward while a
gear is engaged in the automatic transmis­
sion. When you drive off in the normal way,
the parking brake will be released automati­
cally and your vehicle will start moving
¢page 75.
(CD) Note
- Any slight noise which may be heard when
the parking brake is applied or released is
quite normal and no cause for concern.
- The parking brake runs an automatic test
cycle at regular intervals when the vehicle is
parked. This may cause a slight noise, which
is normal.
- If the electrical power supply fails, it is not
possible to release the parking brake (if it
was applied) or to apply the parking brake
(if it was released) ¢ &,. Obtain professional
assistance.
Moving off
Various features and safety functions are availa­
ble for driving off, depending on the equipment
in your vehicle.
Hill starting with the parking brake applied
Important: The driver's door must be closed.
� To drive off more easily on a slope, apply the
parking brake and drive off just as you usually
would. The parking brake will be released auto­
matically, but not until there is enough power
at the wheels to make the vehicle move in the
desired direction.
Hill starting with the hill hold assist
The hill hold assist function makes it easier to
drive away on a slope.
Important: The driver's door must be closed and
the engine must be running.
� To activate the hill hold assist, press and hold
the brake pedal for several seconds. The vehicle
must be on a slope and facing uphill.
When you release the brake pedal the braking
force will be maintained for a moment ¢.&. in

technology
Electronic stabilisation
control (ESC)
Description
The electronic stabilisation control (ESC) increa­
ses the car's stability. It reduces the tendency to
skid and improves the stability and road holding
of the vehicle. The ESC detects critical handling
situations, such as understeer, oversteer and
wheelspin on the driven wheels. It stabilises the
vehicle by braking individual wheels or by reduc­
ing the engine torque. The indicator lamp DJ in
the instrument cluster starts flashing as soon as
the ESC intervenes.
The following systems are integrated in the ESC:
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking up under
braking until the vehicle has reached a virtual
standstill. You can continue to steer the vehicle
even when the brakes are on full. Keep your foot
on the brake pedal and do not pump the brakes.
You will feel the brake pedal pulsate while the
anti-lock brake system is working.
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can shorten the braking
distance. The braking force is automatically boos­
ted if you press the brake pedal quickly in an
emergency. You must keep pressing the brake
pedal until the danger has passed.
Traction control system (ASR)
In the event of wheelspin, the traction control
system reduces the engine torque to match the
amount of grip available. This helps the car to
start moving, accelerate or climb a gradient.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
When the EDL detects wheelspin, it brakes the
spinning wheel and directs the power to the oth­
er driven wheel (or wheels on quattro* versions).
0 This
function is not available at high speeds.
� To
prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
8 from
overheating, the EDL cuts out automatically
"
Vl Intelligent
technology
if subjected to excessive loads. The vehicle can
still be driven. The EDL will switch on again auto­
matically when the brake has cooled down.
Steering recommendation
The ESC helps to stabilise the vehicle by changing
the steering wheel torque.
Selective wheel torque control
Selective wheel torque control intervenes when
cornering by braking the wheel(s) on the inside of
the bend individually as required. This enables
precision cornering. The relevant system may not
intervene in the wet or snow.
Multicollision brake assist system
The "multicollision brake assist system" can help
to reduce the risk of skidding and further colli­
sions during an accident. If the airbag control
unit detects that a collision has taken place up­
wards of a certain speed, the vehicle is braked by
the ESC.
The vehicle will not be braked automatically if:
- the driver presses the accelerator,
- the brake pressure applied by pressing the
brake pedal is higher than the brake pressure
initiated by the system,
- or the ESC, the brake system or the vehicle's
electrical system are not fully functional.
A WARNING
- The grip provided by the ESC and the inte­
grated systems is still subject to the physi­
cal limits of adhesion. Always bear this in
mind, especially on wet or slippery roads. If
you notice the systems cutting in, you
should reduce your speed immediately to
suit the road and traffic conditions. Do not
let the extra safety provided tempt you into
taking any risks when driving -this can
cause accidents.
- Remember that the accident risk always in­
creases if you drive fast, especially in cor­
ners or on a wet or slippery road, or if you
follow too close behind the vehicle in front
of you. Please bear in mind that even the
