Turn the knob to the desired position:
CY/® - Adjusts the left/right exterior mirror.
Move the knob in the desired direction.
GA - Heats the mirror glass depending on the out-
side temperature.

=> page 26.
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.

Stowing and using

Luggage compartment
General information
All pieces of luggage or objects must be securely
fastened in the luggage compartment. Note the
following to maintain good vehicle handling:
> Distribute the load evenly in the luggage com-
partment.
> Stow heavy luggage as far forward in the lug-
gage compartment as possible.
» Use non-elastic cords attached to the tie-downs
to secure objects.

Z\ WARNING
— Loose objects can be thrown around the ve-
hicle interior during sudden driving or brak-
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk of
an accident. Always stow objects securely in
the luggage compartment and secure them
at the tie-downs. Use straps suitable for
heavy objects.
— If pieces of luggage or objects are secured
to the tie-downs with unsuitable or dam-
aged straps, this can increase the risk of in-
jury during braking maneuvers or accidents.
— When transporting heavy objects, the vehi-
cle characteristics will change due to the
shift in the center of gravity, which increases
the risk of an accident. You may need to
adapt your driving style and speed to the
current conditions.
— The cargo net is only strong enough to se-
cure light objects. Heavy objects are not ade-
quately secured. Attempting to secure heavy
objects increases the risk of injury.
— Never exceed the permitted axle and load
and vehicle weight > page 286.
— Never secure a child safety seat to the tie-
downs.
— Never leave your vehicle unattended, espe-
cially if the luggage compartment lid is
open. Children could enter the luggage com-
partment and close the luggage compart-
ment lid from the inside. This creates the
risk of fatal injury, since the children would
be locked in and may not be able to escape
by themselves.

sO

— Do not allow children to play in or on the ve-
hicle. Close and lock the luggage compart-
ment lid as well as all other doors when you
leave the vehicle.
— Never transport passengers in the luggage
compartment. Every passenger must be cor-
rectly secured with the safety belts in the
vehicle > page 182.
() Note
Make sure that the heating grid strips for the
rear window defogger are not damaged by
abrasive objects.
G) Tips
— The tire pressure must be adapted to the
load > page 250.
— You can purchase straps at specialty stores.

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\.

> 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.
