ESC and the integrated systems cannot
compensate for the increased accident risk.
- When accelerating on a uniformly slippery
surface (for instance all four wheels on ice
or snow), press the accelerator gradually
and carefully. The driven wheels may other
wise start to spin (in spite of the integrated
control systems), which would impair the
car's stability and could lead to an accident.
@ Note
- The ABS and ASR systems can only work
properly if all four tyres have a similar de-

radius of the tyres can cause the system to
reduce engine power when this is not de

Brake servo
The brake servo amplifies the pressure you apply
to the brake pedal.
A WARNING
- When applying the brakes to clean off de
posits on the pads and discs, select a clear,
dry road. Be sure not to inconvenience or en
danger other road users; do not risk an acci
dent.
- Never let the car coast with the engine
switched off (this can cause accidents).
CD CAUTION
- Never let the brakes "drag" by leaving your
foot on the pedal
when
you do not really in
tend to brake. This overheats the brakes, re
sulting in longer stopping distances and
greater wear.
- Before driving down a long, steep gradient,
it is advisable to reduce speed and select a
lower gear. In this way you will make use of
the engine braking effect and relieve the
load on the brakes. If you still have to use
the brakes, it is better to brake firmly at in
tervals than to apply the brakes continuous
ly.
� Note
-If the brake servo is out of action, you must
apply considerably more pressure to the
brake pedal than you normally would.
- If you wish to equip the car with accessories
such as a front spoiler or wheel covers, it is
important that the flow of air to the front
wheels is not obstructed, otherwise the
brakes can overheat.
Electro-mechanical
power steering
Electro-mechanical power steering assists the
driver when steering.
The degree of power assistance is adapted elec
tronically, depending on the speed.
116 Warning/indicator
lamps and driver
messages
• Steering: fault. Please stop vehicle
If the warning lamp Lights up permanently and
the message appears, there may be a power
steering failure.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place as soon as possi
ble. Do NOT drive on. Obtain professional assis
tance.
� Steering: fault. You can continue driving
If the indicator lamp lights up, the steering re
sponse may be heavier or Lighter than usual. In
addition, it is possible that the steering wheel
will be off centre when driving in a straight Line.
Drive slowly to a qualified workshop and have the
fault rectified.
('!)) Note
You can drive on if the warning/indicator
lamp . or� Lights up only briefly.
Four-wheel drive
(quattro)
Applies to: vehicles with four-wheel drive
On quattro models the engine power is distrib
uted to all four wheels.
General notes
On four-wheel drive vehicles, the engine power is
distributed to all four wheels. The distribution of
power is controlled automatically according to
your driving style and the road conditions. Also
refer to¢ page 113, Electronic stabilisation con
trol (ESC).
The four-wheel drive is specially designed to
complement the superior engine power of your
Audi. This combination gives the car exceptional
handling and performance capabilities -both on
normal roads and in more difficult conditions,
such as snow and ice. Even so (or perhaps espe
cially for this reason), it is important to observe
certain safety points¢&.

CX) Winter
tyres
Thanks to its four-wheel drive, your car will have
plenty of traction in winter conditions, even with
the standard tyres. Nevertheless, we still recom
mend that winter tyres or all-season tyres should
be fitted on all four wheels when winter road
conditions are expected, mainly because this will
give a better braking response.
Snow chains
On roads where snow chains are mandatory, this
also applies to cars with four-wheel drive
¢ page 2 5 7, Snow chains.
Replacing tyres
On vehicles with four-wheel drive, all four tyres
must have the same rolling circumference. Also
avoid using tyres with varying tread depths
¢ page 254, New wheels or tyres.
Off-roader?
Your Audi does not have enough ground clear
ance to be used as an off-road vehicle. It is there
fore best to avoid rough tracks and uneven ter
rain as much as possible.
A WARNING
- Even with four-wheel drive, you should al
ways adjust your speed to suit the condi
tions. Do not Let the extra safety provided
tempt you into taking any risks when driving
- this can cause accidents.
- The braking ability of your car is limited by
the grip of the tyres. In this respect, your
car is no different from a car without four
wheel drive. So do not be tempted to drive
too fast on icy or slippery roads just because
the car still has good acceleration in these
conditions -risk of accident!
- On wet roads bear in mind that the front
wheels may start to "aquaplane" and Lose
contact with the road if the car is driven too
fast. If this should happen, there will be no
sudden increase in engine speed to warn the
driver, as with a front-wheel drive car. So do
not drive too fast in the wet: adjust your
speed to suit the conditions (accident risk). Intelligent

Rear spoiler
Applies to: vehicles with automatic rear spoiler
The automatic rear spoiler increases the car's
stability.
Fig. 122 Centre console: Button for rear spoiler
The rear spoiler can be extended or retracted
manually or automatically.
Automatic mode (normal operation)
- Automatic extension: The rear spoiler is auto
matically extended at road speeds above ap
proximately 120 km/h.
-Automatic retraction: The rear spoiler is auto
matically retracted at road speeds below ap
proximately 80 km/h.
Manual mode
- Manual extension: Briefly press the button
¢Fig. 122 to extend the rear spoiler all the way
out.
- Manual retraction: At road speeds up to about
20 km/h, press and hold the button to retract
the rear spoiler. At road speeds between
20 km/h and 120 km/h, press the button brief
ly to retract the rear spoiler all the way back.

shop
The rear spoiler may have failed to extend due to
a malfunction. In this case, the car's handling
may be different at high speeds. Drive to a quali
fied workshop without delay (but do not exceed
140 km/h) and have the fault rectified. The col
our of the Lamp depends on the current road
speed. l)IJ,,

belts
Even at urban speeds of 30 km/h to 50 km/h, the
forces acting on the occupants in a collision can
reach the equivalent of 1 ton (1,000 kg) or more.
At greater speed these forces are even higher.
Again: if the speed doubles, the forces increase
by a factor of four.
Passengers who do not wear seat belts are not
"attached" to the vehicle. In a frontal collision
they will continue to move forward at the speed
their car was travelling just before the impact.
What happens to passengers not wearing
seat belts?
Passengers not wearing seat belts risk fatal inju
ries in the event of an accident.
Fig. 191 A driver not wearing a seat belt can be thrown
forwards
In a frontal collision, unbelted passengers will be
thrown forwards and make violent contact with
the steering wheel, dashboard, windscreen, etc
¢ Fig. 191. Passengers not wearing their belts
risk being thrown out of the car. This could result
in potentially fatal injuries.
The common belief that occupants can brace
their weight with their hands in a minor collision
is false. Even at Low speeds the forces acting on
the body in a collision are so great that it is not
possible to hold yourself in the seat.
232 How
to wear seat belts
properly
Putting on the seat belts
Always fasten your seat belts before driving o
ff.

.. Adjust the seat correctly before putting on the
seat belt¢ page 54, Front seats.
.. To fasten the belt, take hold of the belt and
pull it evenly across your chest and lap

.. Insert the latch plate into the buckle for the ap
propriate seat and push it down until it is se
curely locked with an audible click.
.. Pull the belt to check that it is now securely fas-
tened.
The three-point inertia reel belts are tensioned
automatically. The retractor system gives com
plete freedom of movement, as long as the pull
on the belt is slow. Hard braking Locks the belt.
The belt will also lock when you accelerate, drive
up or down a steep hill or corner sharply.

Wheels
Tyres and rims
General notes
� Inspect the tyres regularly for damage (cuts,
cracks or blisters, etc.). Remove any foreign
bodies embedded in the treads.
� If you have to drive over a kerb or similar obsta
cle, drive very slowly and as near as possible at
a right angle to the kerb.
� Damaged rims or tyres must be replaced imme
diately.
� Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.
� Mark
the wheels before taking them off so that
they rotate in the same direction when refitted.
� When removed, the wheels should be stored
flat in a cool, dry and preferably dark place.
CD CAUTION
- Please note that summer and winter tyres
are optimised for the prevailing road condi
tions at different times of year. We recom
mend that you use winter tyres during the
winter months. At low temperatures, sum
mer tyres lose their elasticity and grip, and
braking performance also suffers as a re
sult. Cracks can form in the tread block on
summer tyres if they are used at very cold
temperatures, and this can cause perma
nent damage to the tyres. An increase in
rolling noise and tyre imbalance may result
from this damage.
- Machined, polished or chrome-plated rims
must not be used in winter conditions. The
process used to manufacture these types of
wheel rim does not provide adequate sur
face protection against corrosion, and the
rims can be permanently damaged by road
salt or similar.
New wheels or tyres
It is best to have all servicing of wheels and tyres
performed by a qualified workshop, since they
l l
COC = Certificate of conformity
254 have
the necessary special tools and replacement
parts in addition to trained personnel.
� New tyres do not yet give maximum grip. When
driving with new tyres, drive at moderate
speeds and be especially careful during the first
500 km.
� All four wheels must be fitted with tyres of the
same type, size (rolling circumference) and
preferably the same tread pattern.
� Tyres should be replaced in pairs and not indi
vidually (i.e. both front tyres or both rear tyres
together).
� We recommend the use of Audi Genuine Tyres.
If you wish to use other tyres, please note that
the actual size can differ from the nominal size
marked on the tyre ¢ A .
� If you wish to purchase a different combination
of rims and tyres than the ones fitted on the ve
hicle during production, it is advisable to con
sult a qualified workshop beforehand ¢ A.
The sizes of the rims and tyres approved for your
vehicle are listed in the vehicle's documents (e.g.
EC Certificate of Conformity or COC document l)).
The vehicle documents vary depending on the
country in which the vehicle is registered.
If the spare wheel* is not the same type as the
tyres fitted on the car (for example if the car has
winter tyres or wide-section tyres) you should on
ly use the spare wheel* if a puncture occurs, and
then only for a short period of time. In this case,
please drive with extra care. Refit a normal road
wheel as soon as possible.
On vehicles with four-wheel drive, all four wheels
must always be fitted with tyres of the same
type, make and tread pattern, as the driveline
could otherwise be damaged by variations in the
wheel speeds. For the same reason, only use a
spare wheel* which has the same rolling circum
ference as the normal road wheels.
Manufacturing date
The manufacturing date is indicated on the tyre
sidewall (possibly only on the inner side of the
wheel): ..,.

CX) @
For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres will increase the fuel
consumption. -------------
We recommend always using either the tyre
pressure setting (D for partial loads or the
setting @for full loads.
Wheel bolts and rims
Wheel bolts
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn easily.
A special adapter is required to turn the anti
theft wheel bolts* cc> page 2 73.
Rims Rims with a bolted rim flange* or bolted trim
parts* consist of several components. A special
technique is applied to bolt these components
together. Never attempt to repair or dismantle
them c:::>A.
A WARNING
If the wheel bolts have not been tightened or
serviced correctly, they can come loose, and
you could lose control of the vehicle -risk of
accident! For the correct tightening torque,
refer to cc> page 2 75, A�er changing a wheel.
- Make sure that the wheel bolts and threads
in the wheel hubs are always clean and free
from grease.
- Only use wheel bolts that are designed to
match the rims on your car.
- Always have damaged rims repaired by a
qualified workshop. Never attempt to repair
or dismantle rims yourself -risk of accident!
Winter tyres
In winter road conditions winter tyres will consid
erably improve the car's handling. Due to their
type of construction (width, rubber compound,
tread pattern), summer tyres give less grip on ice
and snow.
� Winter tyres must be fitted on all four wheels . Wheels
� Only use winter tyres of the correct type ap
proved for your vehicle.
� Please note that the maximum permissible
speed for winter tyres may be lower than for
summer tyres cc>.&_ . Your specialist retailer can
advise you of the maximum speed for your
tyres.
� After fitting the wheels you must always check
the tyre pressures cc> page 256.
Winter tyres lose their effectiveness when the
tread is worn down to a depth of 4 mm. The per
formance of winter tyres is also severely impaired
by ageing, even if the tread is still much deeper
than 4 mm.
A WARNING
- Never exceed the maximum approved speed
for your tyres. This causes the tyres to over
heat and can even result in a blow-out -risk
of accident!
- Always adapt your driving style to the pre
vailing road and traffic conditions. Drive
carefully and reduce your speed on icy or
slippery roads. Even winter tyres lose their
grip on black ice.
@ For the sake of the environment
Summer tyres should be fitted again as
soon
as possible; they give better handling on
roads which are free of snow and ice. They are
quieter, do not wear so quickly and reduce
fuel consumption.
(© Note
All-weather tyres can also be used instead of
winter tyres. Please note that winter tyres
with the£ symbol are required by law during
the winter season in some countries.
Snow chains
Snow chains will improve braking ability as well
as traction in winter conditions.
� Snow chains can be used on the front wheels
only. This also applies to vehicles with four-
wheel drive*.

on the tyre pressures you have stored. The
inflation pressures recommended for your vehicle
are given on the tyre pressure sticker
¢page 256, Fig. 222.
The rolling circumference and vibration can
change and cause a tyre pressure warning if:
- The inflation pressure in one or more tyres is
too low.
- The tyre has suffered structural damage.
- The wheels were changed or the tyre pressures
were changed and the new tyre pressures were
not stored ¢ page 259.
- You are driving with the temporary spare

- If the tyre pressure loss indicator appears
on the display, slow down immediately and
avoid any severe braking or steering ma
noeuvres. As soon as you can do so safely,
stop and check the tyres and the tyre pres
sures.
- It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that
the tyre pressures are correct. For this rea
son you must check the tyre pressures regu
larly.
- Under certain conditions (e.g. driving at
high speeds, on ice and snow or on poor Wheels
road surfaces) the tyre pressure loss indica
tor may not appear immediately.
- The use of run-flat tyres on your vehicle is
