Notes
• Some features mentioned are standard equipment on some
models only and options on others.
• For technical reasons, the arrangement of the switches and indi­
cator /warning lights may differ. The govern ing factor is the symbol
on the switch itself.

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.
105

In selector
lever positions "P" (Park) a no
"N" (Neutral), the instruction "WHEN
STA TIONARY APPLY FOOTBRAKE WHILE
SELECTING GEAR" appears in the instru­
ment cluster as a reminder for the driver.
Also, the symbol in the shift console will
light up.
A time delay element prevents the selector
lever from locking when it is moved through
the "N"' (Neutral) position (for example,
going from "R" to "D"). The locking ele­
ment only locks the selector lever if it is left
in the "N" (Neutral) position for more than
about one second without the brake pedal
being depressed.
In the N (Neutral) position, the selector le­
ver will not lock when the vehicle is driving
faster than 3 mph (5 km/h). Display
When the ignition is switched on, the posi­
tion of the selector lever is shown in the dis­
play in the instrument cluster. The illustra­
tion shows selector position D engaged.
The engaged selector lever position will ap­
pear bright against a dark background while
the other positions appear just the opposite.
If all the positions appear dark against a
bright background at the same time, or
when no positions are indicated then there
is a malfunction in the transmission -see
under "Fail-safe mode" on page 111. CONT
ROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Selector lever positions
P- Park
Engage P (Park) only when the vehicle is
stationary. When parking your vehicle, ap­
ply the parking brake first, and then move
the selector lever completely to position P.
To do this depress the button in the
handle of the selector lever and
push it through R to P. The transmis­
sion is then mechanically locked.
To move the selector lever out of the P
(Park) position you must first insert the
ign ition key into the ignition lock and turn.
Before you move the selector lever
from the P (Park) position, you must
always apply the brake pedal before
and while depressing the button in
the handle of the selector lever.
Shift out of the P (Park) position before re­
leasing the parking brake.
When the vehicle is parked on a steep hill,
shifting out of P (Park) may be a little hard­
er. This is due to the vehicle' s weight ex­
erted on the transmission.
107

---------------------CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Parking On flat terrain, it is enough to simply set the
selector lever to position P (Park). On an
incline, however, first depress the brake
pedal. engage the parking brake and then
move the selector lever completely to posi­
tion P. If you do this. the locking mechanism
will not be overloaded and it will be easier to
release the parking brake.
Always heed all WA RNINGS
on page 103. Emergency
starting
Yo ur Audi with automatic transmission
cannot be started by pushing or tow­
ing. If the engine does not start because of
a discharged battery, the vehicle can be
start edwithjumper cables. Referto "Emer­
genc y starting with jumper cables." Should
the engine fail to start, consult your nearest
Audi Dealer.
To wing
To tow the vehicle. see instructions "Emer­
gency towing" on page 281. Auxiliar
y modes
Yo u can recognize a failure in the electronic
system if the selector lever position display
letters appear bright ·aga in st a dark back­
ground. You can still drive because the
transmission will continue to work in an aux­
iliary mode. Take your vehicle to your near­
est Audi Dealer as soon as possible.
Note
• The electronic lock that protects
the reverse gear while driving is in­
operative when the transmission is
in an auxiliary mode. Shifting into R
(Reverse) while driving will cause
serious damage to the vehicle.
• The liptronic® is inoperative when the
transmission is in the fail-safe mode.

The illustration on previous page shows the
arrangement of the instrument cluster in a
U.S. vehicle.
1 - Engine oil temperature
gauge �
Of (C)
Engine oil temperature ranges from 150 OF
(60 °C) to 350 °F (180 °C). With the needle
around 150 °F (60 °C), do not accelerate un­
der full load.
If the needle moves into the upper zone in
excepti onal cases, reduce your speed. The
needle should then return to the normal
zone.
If the needle stays in upper zone, stop the
vehicle, switch off the engine and check the
oil leve l. If the oil level is correct and the oil
pressure warning light does not flash when
the engine is started, you can drive to the
next authorized Audi Dealer but do·not run
engine at high speeds. 2
- Ta chometer with clock
Ta chometer
The red area at the end of the scale indi­
cates maximum permissible engine rpm
(rev olutions per minute) for all gears after
the break-in period. Before reaching this
area, the next higher gear or selector lever
position "D" should be selected or the foot
eased off the accelerator pedal.
r.Gb Upshifting early saves fuel and
1!/!:i reduces engine noise.
Shift to the next lower gear when engine
rpm drops below 1,500 rpm. CONT
ROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Digital clock with date display
The clock and date are located in the
tachometer dial. Adjusting the clock I date:
see next page.
When the ignition is off the clock I date dis­
play can be illuminated by pressing the set­
butt on. See illustration above.

- Engine coolant -¥
-
temperature gauge
The needle in the coolant temperature
gauge will indicate the temperature of the
coolant when the ignition is switched on.
Engine cold
Avoid high engine speeds and heavy
throttle when the needle is still at the left of
the dial.
Normal temperature
During normal running, the needle will re­
main somewhere in the middle of the dial.
If the engine is working hard at high outside
temperatures, the needle may also go fur­
ther to the right, but this Is no cause for
concern as long as the coolant tem­
perature warning light does not
flash.
