CONT
ROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Mir rors
Adjust the outside and inside mi rrors before
driving and after adjusting your seat to prop
er driving position. It is im porta nt for safe
driving that you have good vision to the rear.
Inside dey-night mirror
Manual anti-glare adjustment
Yo u can adjust the day -night mirror from
clear daylight visibility to non-glare visibility
at night by moving the lever at the bottom
of the mirror.
To ensure the best possible antiillare ef
fect, the lever on the lower edge of the mir
ror should be pointing forwards when the
basic setting is made.
Daylight driving -lever to front
Night driving -lever to rear.
72 Automatic
anti-glare adjustment•
When the ignition is switc hed on the interior
mirror will darken automatically depending
on the amount of light shinin g into the car
from the rear (e. g. headlights).
When you move the selector lever I gear
shift lever into Reverse R or when you
switch the interior lights on, the inside mir
ror will return to its original position (dim
ming effect off).
The mirror will return to the original position
(i. e. not anti-dazzle) when the selector lever
I gearshift lever is moved to position R. Outside
mirrors
Adjust the outside mirrors so that the side
of your own vehicle can just be seen. This
setting ensures the best possible field of
view, and in addition it serves as an instant
check on the mirror setti ng.
Self-d imming day I night outside
mirrors
The dimming of the outside mirrors is con
trolled by the inside day I night mirror.
The dimming of the outside mirrors works
only properly and without any interference,
if the rear window shade* is rolled up and I
or the light shining on the inside mirror is not
blocked by other objects.

CONTROLS AND EQ
UIPMEN T---------------------
Retrieving using the
memory buttons
• With the passenger's door open, de
press and release the desired memory but
ton. The seat will automatically adjust to the
stored position.
• If the door has been closed, you must
then depress and hold the memory button
until the seat has reached its stored posi
tion.
Note
You can not reca ll the stored seat adjust
ment for the front passenger's seat using
the remote control in the master key.
84 Emergency
Off
In an emergency, you can interrupt
any retrieval procedure by
• pressing the '"STOP'" button (see il
lustration on page 81 and 83). or
• tapping one of the memory buttons.
Pushing the"ON/OFF"button to the OFF
position only switches off the Memory. The
stored settings will not be erased.
It's a good idea to turn the Memory off if the
vehicle is going to be used temporarily by a
driver whose driving position will not be
memorized.
The advantage is that the personal settings
that have already been memorized will re
main intact and will not change each time
the vehicle is unlocked using the remote
control. Note
The memory function is switched off when
the STOP button is pressed. The word
''OFF" lights up if the headlights are
switched on. However, the programmed
seat, outside mirrors and steering wheel
positions remain stored in the memory.

---------------------CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Engine oil pressure
If this warning light comes on, 1t Indi cates
that the engine oil pressure is too low.
• Stop the engine immediately,
check the engine oil level and
add oil if necessary.
If engine oil level is normal but the
light comes on again, do not con
tinua to operate the vehicle. This
could damage the engine.
Tu rn the engine off and contact the nearest
Audi Dealer for assistance.
The oil pressure warning light is not
an indicator for low engine oil level.
To check the oil level, always use

Daytime running lights
148 This
switch also operates the front and rear
fog lights: it can pulled out when the side
lights or headlights are switched on.
To conserve battery power, the headlights
will go out automatically when the ignition
is turned off or while the starter is engaged.
High beam, low beam and headlight flasher,
see page 156.
Automatic headlight adjustment
After you start the engine, as well as while
the vehicle is moving, the headlights auto
matically adjust themselves to the load and
angle of the vehicle (for example, during ac
celeration or braking). This prevents unnec
essary glare for on-com ing traffic.
If the system is not operating properly, the
warning symbol in the Auto Check Control
- see page 144- will come on. Daytime
running lights
(Canada models only)
When the ignition is switched on, the fog
lights, side marker lights and taillights will
automatically come on.
�W ARNING
Accidents can happen when you
cannot see the road ahead and
when you cannot be seen by other
motorists.
- Never use daytime running
lights to see where you're go
ing. They are not bright enough
and won't let you see for enough
ahead for safety, especially at
dusk or when it's dark.
- Always turn on the headlights
so that you can see ahead and so
that others can see your car
from the back.
