-Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
- The brake booster and power steering only
work when the engine is running. If the en­ gine is off, you have to use more force when
steering or braking. Because you cannot
steer and brake as you usually would, this
could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
@ Note
Avoid high engine speed, full throttle, and
heavy engine load if the engine has not
reached operating temperature yet. You could
damage the engine.
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not let the engine run while parked to
warm up. Begin driving immediately . This re­
duces unnecessary emissions.
(D Tips
-Some noise after starting the engine is nor­
mal and is no cause for concern.
- If you leave the vehicle with the ignition
switched on, the ignition will switch off af­
ter a certain amount of time. Make sure that
electrical equipment such as the exterior
lights are switched off.
Stopping the engine
.,. Bring the vehicle to a full stop.
.,. Move the selector lever into the P position .
... Press the I START ENGINE STOPI button.
Emergency off function*
If it is absolutely necessary, the engine can also
be turned off while driving at speeds starting at
4 mph (7 km/h). To switch the engine off, press
the
I START ENGINE STOPI button twice in a row
br iefly or press and hold for longer than two sec­
onds.
A WARNING
- Never turn off the engine before the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
Driving
-Please note that the brake booster and pow­
er steering only work when the engine is
running. When the engine off, you must use
more force to steer or brake the vehicle. Be­
cause the usual steering and braking capa­
bility is not available, the risk of accidents or
. . . . mJunes increases.
-For safety reasons, always park the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position.
Otherwise, there is the risk that the vehicle
could roll.
- After the engine has been switched off, the
radiator fan can continue to run for up to 10
minutes
-even with the ignition switched
off. It can also switch on again after some
time if the coolant temperature rises as the result of heat buildup or if the engine is al­
ready warm and the engine compartment is
also heated by the sun's rays.
@ Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for
an extended period of time, heat builds up in
the engine compartment after the
engine is
switched off and there is a risk of damaging
the engine . For this reason, let the engine run
at idle for approximately two minutes before
shutting it off.
(D Tips
For up to 10 minutes after stopping the en­
gine, the radiator fan may turn on again auto­ matically or it may continue to run (even if
the ignition is switched off) for the following
reasons :
- The coolant temperature is increasing due
to trapped heat.
- If the engine is warm and the engine com­
partment also heats up from strong sun­
light.

Checking and Filling
A WARNING
California Proposit ion 65 Warning:
- Battery posts, terminals and related acces­ sories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive problems .
Wash hands after handling .
Q) Note
If the vehicle will be parked for long periods
of t ime, protect it against the cold so that it
w ill not be destroyed by "freezing"
~page 242 .
Vehicle battery
The term "vehicle battery " refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle .
Not running the vehicle for long p eriods of
t ime
If you do not drive your vehicle for several days or
weeks, electrical equipment is gradually scaled
back or switched off . This reduces energy use and
ensures the veh icle w il l be able to sta rt after long
pe riods of time
i:::> page 91. Some convenience
functions, such as interior light ing or power sea t
adjustment, may not be available under certain
circumstances . These convenience functions will
be avai lab le again once you switch the ignition on
and start the engine.
Even when electrical equipment is switched off ,
the equipment can still drain the vehicle battery if the vehicle is not driven for long periods of
time. Deep draining results in a chemical reaction
that destroys the inside of the vehicle battery.
The vehicle battery must be charged every month to reduce the risk of this happen ing
i:::> page 242.
Contact an author ized Audi dealer or authorized
Aud i Serv ice Facility for more information.
Winter operati on
Cold weather places higher demands on the vehi­
cle battery . This results in reduced start ing abili ­
ty . Have the vehicle battery checked by an au­
thori zed Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility before the co ld time of year.

Fig. 186 Engine compa rtment: washer flu id reservo ir cap
The windshield washer reservoir W contains the
cleaning solution for the windshie ld and the
headlight washer
system* ¢ page 236, fig . 180.
The reservoir capacity can be found in
¢page 288.
To reduce the risk of lime sca le deposits on the
spray nozzles, use clean water with low amounts
of calc ium. A lways add window cleaner to the wa­
ter. When the outs ide temperatures are cold, an
anti -freezing agent should be added to the water
so that it does not freeze.
@ Note
-The concentration of anti-freezing agent
must be adjusted to the vehicle operating
cond itions in the respective climate. A con­
ce ntrat ion that is too high can lead to vehi­
cl e damage.
- Never add radiator anti-freeze or other addi­
tives to the washer fluid.
Checking and Filling
- Do not use a glass cleaner that contains
paint so lvents, because t his could damage
the paint.

Emergency situations
@ Tips
The discharged battery must be properly con·
nected to the vehicle's electrical system .
When jump starting or charging the battery,
never connect the negative ground cable to
the battery negative post because the battery
manager system must be able to detect the
battery's state of charge. Always connect the
negat ive g round cable to the negative ground
post of the battery manager control unit.
Using the jump start
cable
Both jump start cables must be connected in the
correct order!
