Front passenger's exterior mirror tilt
function*
To help you see the curb when backing into a
parking space, the surface of the mirror tilts
slightly. For this to happen, the knob must be in
the position for the front passenger's exterior
mirror.
You can adjust the tilted mirror surface by turn-
ing the knob in the desired direction. When you
move out of reverse and into another gear, the
new mirror position is stored and assigned to the
key you are using.
The mirror goes back into its original position
once you drive forward faster than 9 mph
(15 km/h) or turn the ignition off.
Z\ WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (convex) enlarge the
field of vision. However, they make objects in
the mirror appear smaller and farther away.
You may estimate incorrectly when you use
these mirrors to gauge your distance from the
vehicles behind you when changing lanes,
which increases the risk of an accident.
Qo Note
If the mirror housing was moved by outside
forces (such as an impact when maneuver-
ing), you must use the power folding function
to fold the mirror all the way out. The mirror
housing must not be moved back into place
by hand because this could impair the func-
tion of the mirror mechanism.
G@) Tips
If the power adjusting function malfunctions,
the glass in both mirrors can be adjusted by
pressing on the edge of it by hand.

Warm and cold

Warm and cold
Climate control system
The climate control system warms, cools and re-
moves humidity from the air in the vehicle interi-
or. It functions most effectively when the win-
dows are closed. If there is a build-up of heat in-
side the vehicle, ventilation can help to speed up
the cooling process.
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
Key recognition
Certain settings are automatically stored and as-
signed to the remote control key being used.

ZA WARNING
Poor visibility can lead to accidents.
— For safer driving, keep all windows free of
ice, snow and fog.
— Become familiar as quickly as possible with
the correct use and function of the climate
control system, especially with the defrost-
ing and defogging function.
— When the temperature is below freezing,
only use the windshield washer system after
the
windshield has been warmed by the cli-
mate control system. The washer fluid could
freeze on the windshield and impair visibili-
ty.
@) Note
— If you suspect that the climate control sys-
tem is damaged, switch the system off to
52
prevent further damage and have it checked
by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
— Repairs to the Audi climate control system
require special technical knowledge and
special tools. Have it inspected by an au-
thorized Audi dealership or a qualified elec-
tronics store.
(@) For the sake of the environment
Reducing the amount of fuel used also re-
duces the amount of pollutants that enter the
alr.
G) Tips
—To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output and to prevent the win-
dows from fogging over, the air intake in
front of the windshield must be free of ice,
snow, or leaves.
— Condensation from the cooling system can
drip and form a puddle of water under the
vehicle. This is normal and does not mean
there is a leak.
— The energy management system may tem-
porarily switch off certain functions, such as
the seat heating* or rear window defogger.
These systems are available again as soon as
the energy supply has been restored.
— The flows through the vents under the rear
window. Make sure the openings are not
covered when placing clothing on the lug-
gage compartment cover.

on
Do not turn the seat heating on under the follow-
ing circumstances:
— The seat is unoccupied.
— The seat is covered with a seat cover.
— The seat is covered with a child seat.
— The seat is damp or wet.

Z\ WARNING
Individuals with reduced sensitivity to pain or
temperature could develop burns when using
the seat heating function. To reduce the risk
of injury, these individuals should not use seat
heating.
©) Note
To reduce the risk of damage to the seat heat-
ing elements, do not kneel on the seats or
place heavy pressure on one area of the seat.
@) Tips
—The setting for the seat heating on the driv-
er's side is assigned to the key that is in use.


— If the front passenger's seat heating is
turned on, it will not turn on again automat-
ically if more than 10 minutes have passed
between switching the ignition off and

The neck heating has three levels. If you turn the
knob to the right, the neck heating switches on
=> fig. 63. The LEDs above the seat symbol indi-
cate the ventilation level. Turn the knob to the
left to reduce ventilation. To switch off the neck
heating, keep turning the knob to the left until
no LEDs are turned on.
When the power top is closed, the neck heating
switches automatically from setting 3 to setting
2 after approximately six minutes.

Z\ WARNING
— Individuals with reduced sensitivity to pain
or temperature could develop burns when
using the neck heating. To reduce the risk of
injury, these individuals should not use neck
heating.
— The output from the neck heating may be-
come very hot temporarily if the air vents in
the seats > fig. 62 are covered by clothing or
similar objects when the system is switched
on. This can cause burns on unprotected
skin exposed directly to the vents.
@) Tips
— The fan speed is always lower when the
power top is closed than when it is open.
— Energy management > page 91 may re-
duce the heat output if the battery voltage

Driving

short time. If this is the case, repeat the starting
procedure after approximately 30 seconds.

ZA\ WARNING
— To reduce the risk of asphyxiation, never al-
low the engine to run in confined spaces.
— 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. The fact that you cannot
steer and brake as usual may increase the
risk of 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.
@ 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.
> Press the [START ENGINE STOP

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 stop the engine, press the
START ENGINE STOP] button twice in a row or
press and hold it one time.
58

Z\ WARNING
— Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop. Switching it
off before the vehicle has stopped may im-
pair the function of the brake booster and
power steering. You may need to use more
force when braking or steering. Because you
cannot brake and steer as you usually would,
this could lead to accidents and serious inju-
ries.
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the vehicle key with you. If you
do not do this, the engine could be started
and electrical equipment such as the power
windows could be activated. This can lead to
serious injuries.
— 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 unintentionally.

@) 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.
(i) 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.

indicator light in the display turn off.
Releasing the parking brake automatically
Requirement: the driver's door must be closed.
> To start driving and release the parking brake
automatically, press the accelerator pedal as
usual.
In addition to releasing the parking brake auto-
matically, other convenience and safety functions
are available when you start driving > page 61,
Starting to drive.
Emergency braking function
You can use the emergency braking function in an
emergency situation, or if the standard brakes
are malfunctioning or the pedal is obstructed.
> Pull and hold the ©) switch.
> As soon as you release the ©) switch or acceler-
ate, the braking stops.
Pulling
and holding the ©) switch while driving
the vehicle activates the emergency braking func-
tion. The hydraulic brake system will brake all
four wheels. The braking effect is similar to heavy
braking > A\.
To reduce the risk of activating the emergency
braking by mistake, a warning tone (buzzer)
sounds when the ©) switch is pulled. Emergency
braking stops as soon as the ©) switch is released
or the accelerator pedal is pressed.
Parking
> Press the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
> Pull the © switch to set the parking brake.
>» Place the selector lever in the “P” position.
> Turn the engine off > A\.
60
> Turn the steering wheel when parking on in-
clines so that the wheels will roll into the curb
if the vehicle starts moving.

ZA WARNING
— Ifa gear is engaged while the vehicle is sta-
tionary and the engine is running, do not
press the accelerator pedal inadvertently.
Otherwise, the vehicle will start to move im-
mediately and this could result in an acci-
dent.
— Emergency braking should only be used in
an emergency, when the when the standard
brake pedal is malfunctioning or obstructed.
During emergency braking, your vehicle will
brake similar to heavy braking. ESC and the
associated components (ABS, ASR, EDL) can-
not overcome the laws of physics. In corners
and when road or weather conditions are
bad, a full brake application can cause the
vehicle to skid or the rear end to swerve,
which increases the risk of an accident.
— If the power supply fails, you cannot set the
parking brake once it is released. In this
case, park the vehicle on level ground and
secure it by placing the selector lever in the
P position. See an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility for assis-
tance.
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the vehicle key with you. This
applies particularly when children remain in
the vehicle. Otherwise children could start
the engine, release the parking brake or op-
erate electrical equipment such as power
windows, which increases the risk of an acci-
dent.
— No one should remain in the vehicle when it
is locked - especially children. Locked doors
make it more difficult for emergency work-
ers to get into the vehicle, which puts lives
at risk.

C) Note
Do not leave your vehicle unattended while
the engine is running, because this increases
the risk of an accident.

Driving

— If the vehicle does not move in the desired
direction, the system may not have engaged
the drive position correctly. Press the brake
pedal and select the drive position again.
— If the vehicle still does not move in the de-
sired direction, there is a system malfunc-
tion. See an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility for assistance
to have the system checked.
The transmission shifts up and down automati-
cally when in the driving gears.

roll away. Doors do not lock if gearshift is not in
P appears. A warning tone will also sound.
> Press and hold the brake pedal > A\.
>» Set the parking brake.
> Select the "P" selector lever position.
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 66.
When parking ona level surface, simply place the
selector lever in the "P" position. On inclines, ac-
tivate the parking brake first and then move the
selector lever to the "P" position > page 59. This
prevents the locking mechanism from being load-
ed too heavily and will make it easier to move the
selector lever out of the "P" position.

ZA 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 lever to
the P position. >
