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
and reduce the load on the brakes.
Downhill speed control is deactivated as soon as
the road levels out again or you press the acceler­
ator pedal.
On vehicles with cruise control system*
¢ page 86, downhill speed control is activated
when you set a cruising speed.

Speed warning function
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning function
The speed warning function can help you keep
below a pre-set maximum speed. It can be set,
changed and deleted on the infotainment sys­
tem.
The speed warning function will warn you if the
vehicle exceeds the pre-set maximum speed. The
system gives an audible warning signal if the set
speed is exceeded by a small amount. At the
same time, an indicator lamp� and a message
will appear on the instrument cluster display.
The indicator lamp [9] and the message will dis­
appear when the road speed drops below the set
value.
You are recommended to store this speed limit
warning if you wish to be reminded of a particu­
lar speed limit. This could be when driving in
countries with general speed limits, or if you
need to keep below a particular speed when win­
ter tyres are fitted, etc.
Setting speed limit warning
... Select the following on the infotainment sys­
tem: I MENU
I button > Car > left control button
> Driver assist> Speed warning > manual.
(i) Note
- Please bear in mind that, even with the
speed warning function, it is still important
to keep a check on the car's speed with the
speedometer and to observe the statutory
speed limits.
- On vehicles for some markets, the speed
warning function warns you when you reach
a speed of 120 km/h. This speed limit warn­
ing is preset at the factory.

sponsible for determining the speed and for
keeping a safe distance to the other vehicles
on the road.
- For safety reasons, the cruise control sys­
tem must not be used in city traffic, stop­
and-go traffic, on roads with a lot of bends
or in difficult or slippery driving conditions
(such as ice, fog, loose grit or gravel, heavy
rain, etc.) -risk of accident!
- When you take a turn-off, drive along a mo­
torway exit lane or pass through roadwork
sections, please temporarily switch off the
cruise control system.

Audi drive select (vehicle
set-up functions)
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
Drive select allows you to use different set-ups
on your vehicle. The four modes efficiency*, com­
fort, auto and dynamic allow the driver, for ex­
ample, to change from a sporty mode to a more
comfortable one via the �.:i.l\:'I button in the centre
console or via the infotainment system. In addi­
tion, the individual mode allows you to adapt the
vehicle set-up to suit your personal driving style.
For example, you might choose to combine a
more dynamic engine set-up with a lighter steer­
ing response.
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
The possible vehicle set-up in each mode de­
pends on which equipment is installed on your
vehicle.
Engine and automatic gearbox*
The response of the engine and automatic gear­
box* to accelerator pedal movements will be
more spontaneous or balanced, depending on
which mode you select. In efficiency* mode the
automatic gearbox* selects the next gear at low­
er engine speeds and the coasting mode is activa-
100 ted
¢ page 82. This helps to reduce fuel con­
sumption.
Suspension control (Audi magnetic ride)*
The suspension control uses sensors to collect in­
formation on steering movements, braking and
acceleration input by the driver, road surface
quality, road speed and vehicle loading. With
drive select you can choose between dynamic and
comfort-oriented suspension set-ups (dynamic
and comfort modes), or opt for a more balanced
set-up (auto mode).
Steering
The degree of power assistance can be varied.
The light, indirect steering response in comfort
mode is particularly suitable on long motorway
trips, for instance. The steering has a tighter,
more direct feel in dynamic mode.
Air conditioner*
The air conditioner runs in a particularly econom­
ical mode when the efficiency* setting is selec­
ted. When this function is selected, eco* is shown
in the display of the automatic air conditioner.
Cruise control system*
The acceleration response is particularly econom­
ical in efficiency* mode.
Engine sound*
The sound of the engine is matched to the selec­
ted mode and ranges from subdued to dynamic.
(QJ} Note
- On some models the vehicle's maximum
speed can only be obtained in the auto and
dynamic modes.
- On vehicles with manual gearbox, an E ap­
pears in the gear-change indicator when ef­
ficiency* mode is activated.
-Applies to vehicles with manual gearbox: If
you press the accelerator right down past
the point of resistance in efficiency* mode,
the engine power is automatically control­
led to give your vehicle maximum accelera-
tion. ..,.

WARNING
You should switch on the sport mode or
switch off the ESC/traction control system
(ASR) only if your driving ability and the traf­
fic conditions allow you to do so safely -dan­
ger of skidding!
- The stabilising function is restricted when
sport mode is switched on. The driven
wheels may start to spin, causing the vehi­
cle to lose grip, in particular on slippery or
wet roads.
- When the ESC/traction control system
(ASR) is switched off, the vehicle will not be
stabilised.
@ Note
- The ESC/traction control system (ASR) can­
not be switched off and the sport mode can­
not be switched on when the cruise control
system* is on.
- In the event of a malfunction in the rear
spoiler system or the Audi magnetic ride, it
may not be possible to switch off the ESC/
ASR or switch on the sport mode.
Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not give full braking effect for
the first 400 km, they must first be "bedded in".
However, you can compensate for the slightly re­
duced braking effect by applying more pressure
on the brake pedal. Avoid placing a heavy load on
the brakes during the running-in period.
Wear
The rate of wear on the brake pads depends a
great deal on how you drive and the conditions in
which the vehicle is operated. Negative factors
are, for instance, city traffic, frequent short trips
or hard driving with abrupt starts and stops.
Noises
Brake noise may develop in certain situations, de­
pending on the speed, braking force and ambient
conditions (such as temperature and relative hu­
midity). Intelligent
technology
Effect of moisture and salt
In certain conditions, such as in heavy rain, early
morning dew, or after washing the car or driving
through water, the full braking effect can be de­
layed by moisture (or in winter by ice) on the
discs and brake pads. The brakes should be
"dried" by pressing the pedal to restore full brak­
ing effect.
When you are driving at higher speeds with the
windscreen wipers on, the brake pads are very
briefly brought into contact with the brake discs.
This automatic process which goes unnoticed by
the driver is carried out at regular intervals and is
intended to improve braking response in wet con­
ditions.
The effectiveness of the brakes can also be tem­
porarily reduced if the car is driven for some dis­
tance without using the brakes when there is a
lot of salt on the road in winter. The layer of salt
that accumulates on the discs and pads can be
removed with a few cautious brake applications.
Corrosion
There may be a tendency for dirt to build up on
the brake pads and corrosion to form on the discs
if the car is used infrequently, or if you only drive
low mileages without using the brakes very
much.
If the brakes are not used frequently, or if corro­
sion has formed on the discs, it is advisable to
clean off the pads and discs by braking firmly a
few times from a moderately high speed ¢ A.
Faults in the brake system
If the brake pedal travel should ever increase
suddenly, this may mean that one of the two
brake circuits has failed. Drive immediately to the
nearest qualified workshop and have the fault
rectified. On the way to the dealer, be prepared
to use more pressure on the brake pedal and al­
low for longer stopping distances.
Low brake fluid level
Malfunctions can occur in the brake system if the
brake fluid level is too low. The brake fluid level
is monitored electronically.

Accessories,
replacement parts and
repairs
It is best to consult an authorised Audi dealer
before purchasing accessories and replacement
parts or having any repairs carried out.
Your car is designed to offer a high standard of
active and passive safety. For this reason, we rec­
ommend that you ask your Audi dealer for advice
before fitting accessories or replacement parts.
This is also very important if body repairs are re­
quired. Audi dealers have full information on the
manufacturer-approved repair methods and can
recommend suitable accessories and spare parts.
They can also give advice regarding official re­
quirements for the vehicle.
We recommend you to use only Audi accessories
and Audi Genuine Parts. Audi has tested these
products for suitability, reliability and safety.
Audi dealers have the necessary experience and
facilities to ensure that the parts are installed
properly.
Although the market is constantly scrutinised,
Audi cannot judge or assume responsibility for
the reliability, safety and suitability of non-genu­
ine products -even though in some instances,
these parts may have been approved by an offi­
cially recognised technical testing authority or
accompanied by an official approval certificate.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a direct ef­
fect on the vehicle and/or the way it is driven
(e.g. cruise control system or electronically-con­
trolled suspension) must be approved for use in
your vehicle and bear thee mark (the European
Union's approval symbol).
If any additional electrical components are fit­
ted which do not serve to control the vehicle it­
self (for instance a refrigerator box, Laptop or
ventilator fan, etc.), these must bear the CE: mark
(manufacturer conformity declaration in the Eu­
ropean Union). A
WARNING
Never attach accessories (such as cup holders
or telephone brackets) to the surfaces cover­
ing the airbag units or the areas around the
airbags: this could cause injury if the airbag is
triggered.
(@ Note
- Since your vehicle has an all-aluminium
body, all servicing, repairs or other work on
the car body must be carried out by an Audi
workshop or a qualified workshop working
to the specifications of the Audi factory.
This ensures that the necessary repairs or
servicing are performed properly and that
only Audi Genuine Parts are installed on
your vehicle. Use of non-genuine replace­
ment parts, equipment or accessories on
your vehicle, or repair of the vehicle by un­
qualified persons may result in serious dam­
age to your car (possibly including corro­
sion).
- The manufacturer cannot be held Liable for
damage which occurs as a result of failure
to comply with these stipulations, and such
damage is not covered under warranty.
Modifications
Modifications must always be carried out accord­
ing to our specifications.
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic
components or software in the vehicle may cause
malfunctioning. Due to the way the electronic
components are linked together in networks,
other systems may be affected by the faults. This
can seriously impair safety, Lead to excessive
wear of components, and also invalidate the type
approval for your vehicle.
You will appreciate that your Audi dealer cannot
be held liable for any damage caused by modifi­
cations and/or work performed incorrectly.
We recommend that all work should be per­
formed by an Audi workshop using Audi Genuine
Parts. ..,_
