and warning/indicator lamps
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.

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.
67

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driving
The tyre pressures should always be checked
when the tyres are cold.
Do not use winter tyres all through the year; they
will increase fuel consumption by up to 10 %.
Avoid carrying unnecessary loads
Every kilo of extra weight will increase the fuel
consumption, so it is worth checking the luggage
compartment occasionally to make sure that no
unnecessary loads are being transported.
Save electrical energy
The engine drives the alternator to generate elec­
tricity. This means that fuel consumption rises
when more power is required for electrical equip­
ment. Switch off electrical equipment when it is
not needed. Electrical equipment which uses a
lot of electricity includes the blower (at a high
setting), the rear window heating and the seat
heating*.
Steering Adjusting the steering wheel position
The height and reach of the steering wheel can
be adjusted as required to suit the driver.

The side assist function assists the driver in mon­
itoring following traffic and the blind spots on
both sides of the car. Within certain system Lim- Driver
assist systems
its, it warns you if it detects vehicles approaching
quickly or travelling at about the same speed as
your own vehicle in the area covered by the sen­
sors (!)¢ Fig. 100: if it judges a Lane change to
be critical, the warning Lamp@on the exterior
mirror Lights up¢ Fig. 101.
The warning Lamp on the Left-hand mirror assists
the driver when changing Lane towards the Left

General notes
Safety is the first priority
Your safety is our first priority.
This chapter contains important information,
tips, suggestions and warnings that you should
read and observe for your own safety and the
safety of your passengers.
A WARNING
- The information in this chapter is important
for the driver of the vehicle and the passen­
ger. The other chapters in this manual (and,
where applicable, in the other literature
supplied with the vehicle) contain further
important notes which you should read and
observe for your own safety and that of your

Safety features
The safety features Listed here are part of the ve­
hicle's occupant restraint system. They work to­
gether to help reduce the risk of injury in a wide
variety of accident situations.
Your safety and the safety of your passengers
should not be left to chance. In the event of an
accident, the safety features incorporated in your
vehicle are capable of reducing the risk of injury.
These are just a few of the safety features in your
Audi:
- Seat belts for all seats
- Belt force limiters for all seats
- Belt tensioners for all seats
- Front airbags
- Side airbags in the backrests
- "ISOFIX" anchorages* for "ISO FIX" child seats
on the passenger's seat
-Adjustable steering column
220 These
individual safety features are harmonised
to provide you and your passenger with the best
possible protection in accident situations. How­
ever, they can only be effective if you and your
passenger sit in the correct position and adjust
and use the safety equipment properly.
For these reasons, this chapter explains why
these safety features are so important, how they
can protect you, what you need to remember
when using them, and how you and your passen­
gers can gain the most benefit from them. There
are also a number of important safety warnings
which you and your passengers should always ob­
serve in order to minimise the risk of injury.
Safety is everyone's responsibility!
Before every trip
The driver is responsible for the safety of the
passengers and the safe operation of the vehicle
at all times.
For your own safety and the safety of your pas­
senger, always note the following points before

� Note
- The tyre pressure must be adjusted accord­
ing to the Load the vehicle is carrying
¢page 256.
-Air circulation in the vehicle helps reduce
fogging of the windows. Used air escapes
through ventilation slots in the rear of the
vehicle. Make sure that these ventilation
slots are not obstructed.
- Suitable belts for securing Loads to the fas­
tening rings* are commercially available.
Fastening rings
Unsecured Loads are a hazard to all vehicle occu­
pants.

Fig. 186 Luggage compartment: Location of fastening
rings
� Use the fastening rings to secure items safely
in the Luggage compartment ¢.&. in Luggage
compartment on page 22 7.
During a collision or an accident, even small and
Light objects can possess so much energy that
they can cause very severe injuries. The amount
of this "kinetic energy" depends on the speed of
the vehicle and the weight of the object. The
most significant factor, however, is the speed of
the vehicle.
For example: an object weighing 4.5 kg is Lying
unsecured in the vehicle. During a frontal colli­
sion at a speed of 50 km/h, this object generates
a force corresponding to 20 times its weight.
That means that the effective weight of the ob­
ject increases to about 90 kg. You can imagine
the severity of the injuries which might be sus-
228 tained
if this "projectile" strikes an occupant as it
flies through the passenger compartment.
A WARNING
If items of Luggage or other objects are se­
cured to the fastening rings with inappropri­
ate or damaged tensioning straps, injuries
could result in the event of sudden braking or
a collision.
- To prevent pieces of Luggage or other ob­
jects from flying forward, always use appro­
priate tensioning straps which are properly
secured to the fastening rings.
- Never secure a child seat on the fastening
rings.
Pedestrian protection
system
Description
Applies to: vehicles with pedestrian protection system
The pedestrian protection system is automatical­
ly activated in the event that the front of the ve­
hicle collides with a pedestrian. The bonnet is
raised slightly to create an additional crush zone
above the engine.
The sensors of the pedestrian protection system
are Located in the front bumper. In rare cases,
the system can be triggered because the possibil­
ity that a pedestrian has been hit cannot be ruled
out by the sensors, for example:
- in a collision with a signpost,
- in a collision with an animal, or
- if you drive into a pile of snow, or
- in the event of ground contact, e.g. when driv-
ing on extremely poor road surfaces.

On tyres with a directional tread pattern, note
the direction of rotation indicated on the sidewall
¢page 275.
Concealed damage
Damage to tyres and rims is often not readily visi­
ble. If you notice unusual vibrations or the car
pulling to one side, this may indicate that one of
the tyres is damaged. Reduce your speed imme­
diately. Inspect the tyres for damage. If no exter­
nal damage is visible, drive slowly and carefully
to the nearest qualified workshop and have the
car inspected.
A WARNING
Insufficient tread depth or different tread
depths on different wheels reduce safety. This
is particularly evident in vehicle handling,
when there is a risk of aquaplaning in deep
puddles of water and when driving through
corners. Braking is also adversely affected -
risk of accident!

The correct inflation pressures for tyres fitted at
the factory and for the compact temporary spare
wheel* are specified on a sticker. The sticker
¢Fig. 222 is on the end face of the driver's door.

Tyre pressure for the compact temporary
spare wheel*
If you intend to drive the vehicle with a partial
load, adjust the tyre pressures to the specified
setting (D. Should you wish to drive with a full
load, you must increase the tyre pressure to the
specified maximum@ ¢&_.
Checking / adjusting the tyre pressures
"' Check the tyre pressures at least once a month
and, in addition, before starting a long journey.
.. The tyre pressures should only be checked
when the tyres are cold. The slightly raised
pressures of warm tyres must not be reduced.
.. Refer to the sticker ¢ Fig. 222 for the correct
tyre pressures according to the load the vehicle
is carrying.
.. If necessary, adjust the tyre pressure.
.. Vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator* or
tyre pressure monitoring system*: Store the
new tyre pressures in the infotainment system
¢page 259.
"' Check the pressure of the spare wheel* /com­
pact temporary spare wheel*. Keep the spare
tyre inflated to the highest pressure approved
for the tyre.
A WARNING
Always adjust the tyre pressures to match
your driving style and the load the vehicle is
carrying.
- Excessive loads can cause you to lose control
of the vehicle -risk of accident!
- Under-inflated tyres flex more and can over­
heat at high speeds or when the vehicle is
carrying a heavy load. This could cause a
tyre blow-out and you could lose control of
the vehicle -risk of accident!
- Incorrect tyre pressures increase tyre wear
and adversely affect vehicle braking and
handling -risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
Replace any lost valve caps to prevent dam­
age to the tyre valves.
