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.

General notes
Running in
A new vehicle should be run in over a distance of
1,500 km. For the first 1,000 km the engine
speed should not exceed 2/3 of the maximum
permissible engine speed -do not use full throt­
tle. From 1,000 to 1,500 km you can gradually
increase the engine rpm and road speed.
During its first few hours of running, the internal
friction in the engine is greater than later on
when all the moving parts have bedded down.
How the vehicle is driven for the first 1,500 km
also influences the engine quality. After this peri­
od you should continue driving at moderate en­
gine speeds, in particular when the engine is
cold. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the
engine and increases the potential mileage which
can be covered by the engine.
You should also avoid driving with the engine
speed too low. Change down to a lower gear
when the engine no longer runs "smoothly". Ex­
cessively high engine speeds are prevented by an
automatic rev limiter.
Letting the engine warm up/cool down
Applies to: Sand RS models
You can reduce the amount of wear and tear on
your vehicle during a sporty driving session sim­
ply by adopting a more restrained driving style
while the engine is warming up and cooling
down.
When the engine is cold, the engine speed is limi­
ted so that the full range of engine power is not
available. Once the engine has reached operating
temperature, the rev Limit moves to a higher
range of engine speeds. In addition, the tyres will
not develop their full grip potential until they
have had a chance to warm up on the road.
Even though the engine continues to be cooled
after you switch it off, it is particularly important
to give it time to cool down before parking. The
engine, brakes, exhaust system and gearbox will
66 all
reach very high temperatures when you adopt
a sporty driving style. Before you park the vehi­
cle, allow it to cool down to normal temperature
by driving at moderate engine speeds for several
miles.
Avoiding damage to the car
CD CAUTION
Take care not to damage low-mounted parts
of the car (such as the spoiler or exhaust sys­
tem) on steep ramps, uneven road surfaces or
roadside kerbs, etc. This applies especially to
vehicles with low ground clearance and to all
vehicles when fully laden.
Driving through water on roads
Please note the following in order to prevent
damage to the vehicle when driving through wa­
ter (e.g. on flooded roads):
- The water level must not be higher than the ve­
hicle's underbody.
- Do not drive faster than walking pace.
A WARNING
After driving through water, mud, sludge,
etc., the braking effect can be delayed slightly
due to moisture on the discs and brake pads.
Applying the brakes carefully several times
will remove the moisture and restore the full
braking effect.
CD CAUTION
- Parts of the vehicle (e.g. engine, gearbox,
running gear or electrical components) can
be badly damaged when driving through
water.
- Always switch off the start/stop system*
¢ page 71 before driving through water.
i Note
- It is advisable to check the depth at the
deepest point before approaching the wa­
ter.

CX) -
Do NOT stop the vehicle, drive in reverse or
switch off the engine before you are out of
the water.
- Bear in mind that waves created by oncom­
ing traffic could exceed the permissible
wading depth of your vehicle.
- Avoid driving through salt water (corrosion).
How to improve economy and minimise
pollution
Fuel economy, environmental impact and wear
on the engine, brakes and tyres depend largely
on the way you drive the vehicle. By adopting an
economical driving style and anticipating the
traffic situation ahead, you can reduce fuel con­
sumption by 10-15%. The following section gives
you some tips on lessening the impact on the en­
vironment and reducing your operating costs at
the same time.
Anticipate well in advance
A car uses most fuel when accelerating. If you an­
ticipate hazards and speed changes well in ad­
vance, you will need to brake less and thus accel­
erate less. Wherever possible, let the car slow
down gradually with a gear engaged, for in­
stance when you can see that the next traffic
lights are red.
Change gear early to save fuel
An effective way of saving fuel is to change up
quickly through the gears. Running the engine at
high rpm in the lower gears uses an unnecessary
amount of fuel. Press the accelerator slowly and
avoid using the "kick-down" feature.
Avoid driving at high speed
Avoid travelling at top speed. Fuel consumption,
exhaust emissions and noise levels all increase
very rapidly at higher speeds. Driving at moder­
ate speeds will help to save fuel.
Do not let the engine idle for longer than
necessary
Engine idling periods are automatically reduced
on vehicles with start/stop system*. On vehicles
without start/stop system*, it is worthwhile
switching off the engine at level crossings, for in- Driving
stance, or at traffic lights with a long red phase.
The fuel saved after only 30 -40 seconds is
greater than the amount of fuel needed to re­
start the engine.
The engine takes a very long time to warm up
when it is running at idling speed. Mechanical
wear and pollutant emissions are also especially
high during this initial warm-up phase. It is
therefore best to drive off immediately after
starting the engine. Avoid running the engine at
high speed.
Regular servicing
Regular servicing can establish a basis for good
fuel economy before you start driving. A well­
serviced engine gives you the benefit of im­
proved fuel efficiency as well as maximum relia­
bility and an enhanced resale value.
A poorly maintained engine can consume up to
ten percent more fuel than necessary.
Check the oil level when filling the tank. Oil con­
sumption depends to a great extent on the en­
gine load and engine speed. It is quite normal
that the oil consumption of a new engine only
reaches its lowest level after a certain mileage.
This means that the oil consumption can only be
properly assessed after about 5,000 km.
Avoid short trips
The engine and emission control system need to
reach their proper working temperature in order
to minimise fuel consumption and emissions.
A cold engine uses disproportionately more fuel.
The engine only reaches its working temperature
after about four kilometres, when fuel consump­
tion will return to a normal level.
Check tyre pressures
Always make sure the tyres are inflated to the
correct tyre pressures to save fuel. If the tyre
pressures are just 0.5 bar too low, this can in­
crease the fuel consumption by as much as 5 %.
Due to the greater rolling resistance, under-infla­
tion also increases tyre wear and impairs han­
dling.

CX) A
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

fully interrupted even when the engine is
idling.
- The accelerator pedal must on no account
be pressed inadvertently when the vehicle is
stationary. The vehicle could otherwise start
moving immediately (in some cases even if
the parking brake is engaged) and possibly
cause an accident.
- Do not press the accelerator while selecting
a gear with the vehicle stationary and the
engine running, as this could cause an acci­
dent.
- Never move the selector lever to R or P
when driving at normal speeds, as this could
cause an accident.
- Before you drive down a steep gradient, re­
duce the speed and use "tiptronic" to select
a low gear.
- Never allow the brake to drag when driving
downhill and do not use the brake pedal too
often or for long periods. Constant braking
will cause the brakes to overheat and will
considerably reduce the effectiveness of the
brakes. It will increase the braking distance
and could cause the brake system to fail.
- To avoid rolling back on gradients always
hold the vehicle with the footbrake or park­
ing brake if you have to stop.
- Never attempt to hold the vehicle with the
clutch when stopping on a gradient. The
clutch is disengaged automatically if it is
overloaded and becomes too hot -accident
risk! If the clutch is overloaded, the indica­
tor lamp 51 will light up and a message will
appear ¢page 83.
CD CAUTION
- When you have stopped on a gradient, do
not try to stop the vehicle rolling back by ac­
celerating when a gear is engaged. This
could cause the automatic gearbox to over­
heat and become damaged. Apply the park­
ing brake or press the brake pedal in order
to prevent the vehicle from rolling back.
- If you allow the car to roll with the selector
lever in position N with the engine switched
off, the automatic gearbox will be damaged
as it will not be lubricated.
80 -
In certain driving and traffic conditions, for
instance in stop-and-go traffic, if you have
to pull away frequently or if the vehicle
creeps forwards over a long distance, the
gearbox can overheat and become dam­
aged. If the indicator lamp 51 or the warn­
ing lamp . lights up, stop the vehicle at
the first opportunity and let the gearbox
cool down ¢page 83.
- If you allow the car to roll with the engine
switched off, the S tronic gearbox will be
damaged as it will not be lubricated
¢ page 2 78, Tow-starting I towing away.
ijJ) Note
For safety reasons the parking brake will only
release automatically if the driver's seat belt
is engaged in its buckle.
Downhill speed control
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The downhill speed control function helps the
driver when driving down steep gradients.
Downhill speed control is activated on a downhill
gradient when the selector lever is in D/S and the
driver presses the brake pedal. The gearbox auto­
matically selects a suitable gear for the gradient.
The downhill speed control function attempts to
maintain the speed at which the vehicle was trav­
elling when the foot brake was applied (subject
to the laws of physics and technical limitations of
the power train). It may be necessary to adjust
the speed again using the foot brake. The down­
hill speed control can change down to 3rd gear
but no further, so it may be necessary to change
to tiptronic mode on very steep gradients. In this
case, change down manually to 2nd or 1st gear in
tiptronic mode to use the engine braking effect
