A WARNING
- Read and follow the warnings in
¢ page 235, Working in the engine com­
partment
before opening the hood and
checking the brake fluid level.
- If the brake system indicator light does not

Stop the vehicle and do not continue driv­
ing. See an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility for assistance.
- If the brake system indicator light turns on
together with the ABS and ESC indicator
lights, the ABS/ESC regulating function may
be malfunctioning. Functions that stabilize
the vehicle are no longer available. This
could cause the rear of the vehicle to
swerve, which increases the risk that the ve­
hicle will slide . Drive carefully to the nearest
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility and have the malfunction
corrected.

-Do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped if a gear is
engaged. Otherwise the vehicle will start to
move immediately, even if the parking brake
is set . This could result in a crash .
- Do not press the accelerator pedal when
changing the selector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
running.
- Never leave your vehicle with the engine running while in gear.
If you must leave
your vehicle when the engine is running, set
the parking brake and move the selector lev­
er to the P position .
- To decrease the risk of an accident, these­
lector lever must be in the P position and
the parking brake must be set before open­
ing the hood and working on a running en­
gine. Always read and follow the applicable
warnings¢
page 235, Working in the en­
gine compartment.
{[) Note
Never let the vehicle roll downhill with engine
off and the selector lever in the
N position,
because this could damage the automatic
transmission and catalytic converter.
@ Tips
- Drive select: sporty shifting characteristics
can be selected using the
Dynamic driving
mode. The Infotainment display shows 5 as
the selector lever position instead of D.
- If you accidentally select N while driving,
take your foot off the accelerator pedal im­
mediately and wait for the engine to slow
down to idle before selecting Dor 5 .
- If there is a power failure, the selector lever
will not move out of the P position. The
emergency release can be used if this hap­
pens. Left-hand drive vehicles

Selector lever lock
The selector lever lock prevents you from select­
ing a gear accidentally, causing the vehicle to
roll.
Fig. 71 Selecto r lever lock
To release the selector lever lock:
.,. Switch on the ignition.
.,. Press the brake pedal
while pressing the inter-
lock button.
Automatic shift lock (ASL)
The selector lever is locked in the P and N posi­
tions when the ignition is switched on. You must press the brake pedal to select another position.
You must also press the interlock button if you
are moving from the
P position. The following
message appears in the display when the selector
lever is in the P or
N position to remind the driv­
er:
To select a gear, please press brake pedal and press lock button on selector lever
The automatic shift lock only functions when the
vehicle is stationary or at speeds below 1 mph
(2 km/h). At higher speeds, the lock is automati­
cally deactivated in the N position.
The selector lever is not locked when shifting
quickly through N, for example from R to D. This
makes it possible to free the vehicle when it is
stuck by "rocking" it. The selector lever lock en­
gages if the lever stays in the N position longer
than approximately 2 seconds when the brake
pedal is not pressed.

Starting on a hill
"' Set the parking brake .
"'With the driving gear selected, press the accel­
erator pedal carefully. The parking brake will
release automatically if your safety belt is fas­
tened .
Under certain circumstances, such as driving in
the mountains, it may be useful to switch tempo­
rarily to the manual shift program in order to
manually adjust the gears to the driving condi­
tions ¢
page 68.
When parking on a level surface, simply place the
selector lever in the P position. On inclines, acti­
vate the parking brake first and then move the selector lever to the P position ¢
page 62. This
prevents the locking mechanism from being
loaded too heavily and will make it easier to
move the selector lever out of the P position .
.8, WARNING
- The vehicle can roll even when the engine is
switched off.
- Unintended vehicle movement can lead to
serious injuries.
- Never leave your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear.
If you must leave
your vehicle when the engine is running, set
the parking brake and move the selector lev­
er to the P position.
- Power is still transferred to the wheels
when the engine is running at idle. To pre­
vent the vehicle from "creeping", you must keep your foot on the brake when the en­
gine is running and the selector lever is in
the D, Sor R position or "tiptronic" mode is
selected.
- Do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stationary. Other­
wise the vehicle will start to move immedi­ ately, even if the parking brake is set. This
could result in a crash.
- Do not press the accelerator pedal when
changing the selector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is running .
Driving
-Never engage the R or P selector level posi­
tions while driving. It could cause a crash.
- Before driving down a steep slope, reduce
your speed and shift into a lower gear with "ti ptronic".
- Do not ride the brakes or press the brake
pedal too often or too long when driving
downhill. Constant braking causes the brakes to overheat and substantially re­
duces braking performance, increases brak­
ing distance or causes complete failure of
the brake system.
- If you must stop on an incline, always hold
the vehicle in place with the foot brake or
parking brake to prevent it from rolling
back .
- Never hold the vehicle on an incline with a
slipping clutch. The clutch opens automati­
cally when it becomes too hot from the
overload. The
mJ indicator light turns on
and a message appears ¢
page 70 when
the clutch is overloaded.
- If the engine must run while you are work­
ing in the engine compartment with the
hood open, make sure a gear is not engag­
ed. The selector lever must be firmly in the
P position and locked in place and the park­
ing brake must be set ¢
page 235. Other­
wise, the vehicle could begin moving when
increasing the engine speed, even with the
parking brake set .
(!) Note
- When stopping on an incline, do not try to
hold the vehicle in place by pressing the ac­
celerator pedal while a driving gear is se­
lected. This can cause the automatic trans­
mission to overheat and can damage it. Set
the parking brake or press the brake pedal
to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
- Allowing the vehicle to roll when the engine
is stopped and the selector lever is in the N
position will damage the automatic trans­
mission because it is not lubricated under
those circumstances.

front three-point safety belts with pretensioners
and load limiters to help reduce the risk of in jury
in a wide range of accident and crash situations .
Be sure to read the important information about
safety and heed the WARNINGS in this chapter.
Dep loyment of the Advanced Airbag System and
the act ivat ion of the safety belt pretensioners de­
pend on the deceleration measured by the crash
sensors and registered by the electronic control
un it . Crash severity depends on speed and decel ­
eration as wel l as the mass and stiffness of the
vehicle or object invo lved in the c rash .
On the passenger side, regardless of safety belt
use, the front passenger frontal airbag w ill be
turned off if the electrical capac itance measured
by the capacit ive passenger detection system on
the fro nt passenger seat is less than the amount
p rogr ammed in the elect ronic control uni t. The
front passenger fronta l airbag will also be turned
off if the capacitance measured by the system for
the front passenger seat equals that of an infant
of about one year of age in one of the child seats
that was used to certify the Advanced Airbag Sys­
tem under Federal Motor Veh icle Safety Standard
208. The
PA SSENGER AIR BAG OFF,;; light
comes on and stays on to tell you when the front
Advanced Airbag System on the passenger side has been turned off
Q page 208.
& WARNING
T o red uce the risk of i njury when an a irbag in­
flates, a lways wear safety belts proper ly .
- If you are unrestrained, lean ing fo rw ar d, s it­
t ing s idew ays or o ut o f pos ition in any way,
your risk of i nju ry is much higher.
- Yo u w ill also re ceive se rious injur ies and
cou ld even be killed if you are up aga inst the
airbag or too close to it when it inf lates -
even with an Advanced Airbag

More important things to know about front
airbags
Fig. 165 I nflated fro nt ai rbags
Safety be lts are impo rtan t to he lp keep front
seat oc cupants in the proper seated position so
that airbags can unfo ld properly and prov ide s up­
pleme nta l protection i n a fronta l co llision .
The front airbags are designed to provide addi­
t iona l protec tion fo r the chest and face of the
driver and the fron t seat passenger whe n:
- safety belts are worn properly,
- the seats have been positioned so that t he oc-
cupant is properly seated as far as possible
from the a irbag .
Because airbags inflate in the blink of an eye with
great force, things you have on your lap or have
placed on the seat could become dangerous pro ­
ject iles, and be pushed into you if the a irbag i n­
flates.
When an airbag deploys, fine dust is released.
This is norma l and is not caused by a fire in the
vehicle . This dust is made up mostly of a powder
used to lub rica te t he a irbags as they deploy.
It
cou ld irritate skin.
It is important to remembe r that wh ile the sup ­
pleme nta l airbag system is designed to reduce
the likelihood of serio us inj uries, othe r injuries,
for example swelling, bru is ing and minor abra­
s ions, can also happen when a irbags inflate . Air­
bags do not prote ct the arms or the lower p arts
of the body. Front airbags supp lement the three
point safety belts on ly in some frontal collisions
in which the vehicle dece leration is high enough
to deploy the airbags.
