Indicator lights overview
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
blink or turn on. They indicate functions or mal-
functions.
With some indicator lights, messages may ap-
pear and warning signals may sound. The indica-
tor lights and messages may be covered by other
displays. To show them again, select the second
tab for messages with the multifunction steering
wheel © page 12.
Some indicator lights in the display can display in
several colors.
Some indicator lights turn on briefly as a function
check when you switch the ignition on. These sys-
tems are marked with a V in the following tables.
If one of these indicator lights does not turn on,
there is a malfunction in that system.

Vehicle functions
On-board computer
Depending on the vehicle equipment, you may be
able to access the following information in this
order on the on-board computer > page 10, fig. 3
@:
—Time and date > page 171
— Average consumption
— Short-term memory overview
— Long-term memory overview
— Energy consumers > page 15
— Driver assistance
— Traffic sign recognition
The short-term memory collects driving informa-
tion from the time the ignition is switched on un-
til it is switched off. If you continue driving within
two hours after switching the ignition off, the
new values are included when calculating the cur-
rent trip information.
Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automatically. You can se-
lect the time period for evaluating trip informa-
tion yourself.
Energy consumers*
The Energy consumers view lists other equip-
ment that is currently affecting fuel consump-
tion. The display shows up to three equipment
items. The equipment using the most power is
listed first. If more than three items using power
are switched on, the equipment that is currently
using the most power is displayed. A chart also
shows you the current total of all other consum-
ers.
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption can be shown using
a bar graph. The average consumption stored in
the short-term memory is also displayed. If the
bar is green, your vehicle is saving fuel through
one of the following functions:
— Recuperation: electrical energy can be stored in
the battery when the vehicle is coasting or driv-
ing downhill. The bar will move toward (1.

the programming was successful. If the
emergency flashers only blink one time, the
five-minute time limit for programming has
expired or the programming was unsuccess-
ful. Repeat the programming procedure
starting from the third step or change the
distance to the radiator grille.
If the garage door or other systems do not
open with the HomeLink buttons even if the
programming was successful, the system
may use a rolling code instead of a fixed
code. You must also then perform rolling
code programming > page 31.
The other two buttons in the control panel can be
programmed using the instructions given above.

the driver. The driver may still be responsi-
ble for manually switching the wipers on
based on visibility conditions.
— The windshield must not be treated with
water-repelling windshield coating agents.
Unfavorable conditions, such as wetness,
darkness, and when the sun is low, can
cause increased glare, which increases the
risk of an accident. Wiper blade chatter is al-
so possible.
— Properly functioning windshield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving > page 44, Replacing windshield
wiper blades.

() Note
— If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind-
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind-
shield can damage the wiper blades.
— The windshield wiper system must be
switched off (lever in position 0) before us-
ing
a car wash. This prevents the wipers
from switching on unintentionally and caus-
ing damage to the windshield wiper system.
Gi) Tips

Driving

@) Tips
When stopping at a traffic signal or stopping
in city traffic, you can set the parking brake
manually. The vehicle does not have to be
held with the brake pedal. The parking brake
eliminates the tendency to creep when a se-
lector lever position is engaged. As soon as
you press the accelerator pedal, the parking
brake releases automatically and the vehicle
starts to move > page 61.
G) Tips
— Occasional noises when the parking brake is
set and released are normal and are not a
cause for concern.
— The parking brake goes through a self-test
cycle at regular intervals when the vehicle is
stopped. Any noises associated with this are
normal.
— If there is a power failure, the parking brake
will not set if it is released, and it will not
release if it is set > A\. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa-
cility for assistance.
Starting to drive
Various convenience and safety functions may be
available when the vehicle begins driving, de-
pending on vehicle equipment.
Starting on hills with the parking brake set
Requirement: the driver's door must be closed.
> To start driving comfortably when on a hill, set
the parking brake and begin driving as usual.
The braking force of the parking brake does not
release automatically until the wheels build up
enough driving force.
Starting on hills with hill hold assist
Hill hold assist makes it easier to start on hills.
Requirement: the driver's door must be closed
and the engine must be running.
> To activate hill hold assist, press and hold the
brake pedal for several seconds. The vehicle
must be facing uphill.
After releasing the brake pedal, the braking pow-
er is maintained briefly > A\ to prevent the vehi-
cle from rolling back when starting. This allows
you to begin driving more easily.

ZX WARNING
Applies to: vehicles with hill hold assist
— If you do not begin driving immediately or
the engine stalls after releasing the brake
pedal, your vehicle may begin to roll back-
ward. Press the brake pedal or set the park-
ing brake immediately.
— The intelligent technology of hill hold assist
cannot overcome the limitations imposed by
natural physical laws. The increased comfort
offered by hill hold assist should not cause
you to take safety risks.
— Hill hold assist cannot hold the vehicle in
place on all hills (for example, if the ground
is slippery or icy).
—To reduce the risk of an accident, always
make sure the vehicle is situated safely
while stationary.

Automatic transmission
Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically-
controlled DSG transmission called S tronic. Two
independent clutches transfer the power be-
tween the engine and transmission. It allows the
vehicle to accelerate without a noticeable inter-
ruption in traction.
The transmission upshifts or downshifts auto-
matically. The driving style continuously influen-
ces the selection of the driving program.
When a moderate driving style is used, the
transmission selects the most economical driving
mode. The transmission upshifts at a lower RPM
and downshifts at a higher RPM to improve fuel
efficiency.
The transmission switches to a sporty mode after
a kick-down or when the driver uses a sporty driv-
ing style characterized by quick accelerator pedal
movements, heavy acceleration, frequent
