SA
FETY FIRST
Don't rely on airbags alone for protection.
Even when they deploy, airbags provide
only supplemental protection. Airbags are
not supposed to deploy in all kinds of acci­
dents. Although your Audi is equipped with
airbags for the driver and front seat passen­
ger, all vehicle occupants, including the
driver, still have to wear safety belts- re­
gardless of whether their seating position
has an airbag.
Remember too, that airbags will deploy only
once and that your safety belts are always
there to offer protection in those accidents
in which airbags are not supposed to deploy
or when they have already deployed.
Unbelted occupants can also be thrown out
of the car where even more severe or fatal
injuries can occur.
16 Unbelted
passengers in the rear seats en­
danger not only themselves but also other
passengers. In a frontal collision they will be
thrown forward violently, where they can hit
and injure the driver or front seat passenger.
Safety belts protect
Safety belts used properly can make a big
difference. Safety belts help to keep pas­
sengers in their seats, gradually reduce en­
ergy levels applied to the body in an acci­
dent, and help prevent the uncontrolled
movement that can cause serious injuries.
In addition, safety belts reduce the danger
of being thrown out of the car. Safety
belts attach passengers to the car
and give them the benefit of being slowed
down more gently or "softly" through the
"give" in the safety belts, crumple zones
and other safety features engineered into
today's cars. By "absorbing" the kinetic en­
ergy over a longer period of time, the forces
on the body become more "tolerable" and
less likely to cause injury.

notes
Power locking system
• In the event of an accident with airbag
deployment all locked doors will be auto­
matically unlocked to give access to the ve­
hicle occupants from the outside.
• If the power locking system should fail,
you can still open the fuel tank flap in an
emergency, see page 224. Remote
control function
• The remote control system can be af­
fected by other systems operating in the
same frequency range close to the vehicle,
such as mobile telephones, television
broadcas ting stations, etc.
• Do no use the remote control if you are
inside the car, otherwise you may uninten­
tionally lock the vehicle, and then you would
set off the anti-theft alarm when you try to
start the engine or open a door.
If the ignition is switched on, the remote
control system is deactiv ated.
• Reactiv ating remote control.
If you replace a lost key, or if any repair and
I or exchange work is performed on the re­
ceiver, an authorized Audi Dealer must reac­
tivate the syste m. Only then can the key­
less remote system be used again.

alarm system
The anti-theft alarm system triggers an
acoustic alarm and switches on the emer­
genc y flasher if it senses unauthorized inter­
ference with the vehicle.
When the vehicle is locked the alarm sy­
stem monitors and protects the following
parts of the vehicle:
• engine compartment
• luggage compartment
• doors
• factory installed radio
• passenger compartment
• ignition.
The alarm system is switched on or off
whenever you lock or unlock the vehicle.
Simply tum the key to the lock or unlock
position or use the remote control.
The system is activated about 30 seconds
after the vehicle is locked, and the indicator
lights on the front door window sills start
flashing. The
horn sounds briefly when the car is
locked to confirm that the alarm system is
operative and that all doors, hood and rear
lid are properly closed. If the hom does not
sound, or the indicator lights do not flash,
check all doors, rear lid and hood and close
them properly. The horn will also sound if
the door, lid and hood are closed when the
system is already switched on.
The rear lid can be opened separately even
when the system is active. When the rear
lid is closed the luggage compartment will
again be included in the alarm circuit.
When the system is switched on the alarm
will be triggered if one of the doors, the en­
gine hood or the rear lid are opened, or if the
ign ition is switched on or the radio re­
moved.
When the alarm is triggered the hom
sounds and all four turn signals flash simul­
taneously. The engine cannot be started un­
til the system is switched off with the key
or the remote control.

5-spaad automatic transmission (Tiptronic®)*
Yo ur vehicle is equip ped with an electroni­
cally controlled five-speed automatic trans­
missi �n, upshifting and downshifting is au­
tomatiC. You can also manually select a shift
program mptronic®).
Ignition key safety interlock
After switching off the ignition, you can re­
move the ignition key only when the selec­
tor lever is in the P (Park) position. When
the ignition key is removed, the selector le­
ver will be locked in the P (Park) position.
10 4 Shift
programs
The transmission is "self adapting" and will
automa tically select the most appropri­
ate sh1ft program suited to the driving condi­
tions and driving style.
The transmission will select one of the eco­
nomy programs when you drive at a steady
speed or at gradually changing speeds with­
out heavy acceleration. This gives best fuel
efficiency, with early upshifting and delayed
down shifting.
The transmission will automatically select
the _sporty shift programs when you drive
at h1 gh er speeds, or with heavy acceleration
and frequently changing speeds. Upshifts
are then delayed to make full use of engine
P ?Wer, an9 downshifting takes place at
higher eng1ne speeds than in the economy
programs. The s
�lection o � the most suitable shift pro­
gram JS a contmuous automatic process.
Regardless of this, the driver can also make
the transmission switch to a sporty pro­
gram by pressing down the gas pedal
quickly.
This causes the transmission to shift down
into a lower gear and makes quick accelera­
tion possible (for example to pass another
vehicle). You do not need to depress the gas
pedal into the kick-down range. After the
transmission _has upsh ifted again, the origi­
n� ! program IS selected according to your
dnv1ng style.
An additional shift program allows the auto­
matic t�ansmission to select the proper gear
for uphill and downhill driving.
This prevents the transmission from shift­
ing up �n� dow � un necessarily on hills. The
transmiSSion w1ll also shift down to a lower
gear when the driver presses the brake
pedal while driving downhill. This makes
use of the braking effect of the engine with­
out the need to shift down manually.
With this function the transmission will
however, only shift down as far as 2nd gear :

Tiptronic®
By using the "liptronic®," you can manu­
ally select gears. Here is how:
in the "D" position, push the lever to the
right. You can do this while the vehicle _is
moving or when the vehicle is at a standst11 _1.
The display on the instrument cluster w1ll
show "5", "4", "3", "2" and " 1" as soon
as the selector lever is pushed to the right.
The gear you select will also be highli ghted.
See illustra tion. To
upshift, push the selector lever forward
to the "+" plus position. To downshift, push
the lever to the "-" minus position.
When the vehicle is accelerated in gears 1,
2, 3 and 4, the transmission will automati­
cally shift to the next higher gear just before
the maximum speed is reached.
When accelerating, if you apply a "light"
throttle, the liptronic® will shift automati­
cally from 1 stto 2nd gear to save fuel. How­
ever, if you use a "he avy" throttle, the trans­
mission will stay in 1st gear until near
maximum rpm's are reached, or until the
driver shifts into 2nd gear. CONT
ROLS AND EQUIPMENT
When you shift into a higher g� ar tO? early,
the transmission will not upshift until a pre­
determined engine rpm has been reached.
When you shift into the next lower gea �. the
engine will downshift only when there IS no
possibility of overfee ding.
When the kickdown comes on, the trans­
mission will shift down to a lower gear de­
pending on vehicle and engine speeds.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
pedal to make use of the braking effective­
ness of the transmission when driving
down a .teep incline, the liptronic® will
downshift from the selected gear into the
next lower gear until it reaches 1st gear
based on road speed and engine rpm's. The
automatic downshifting is interrupted as
soon as you apply throttle again.
