CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMENT--------------------
Acoustic park assist*
The acoustic parking warning system will
help make parking and maneuvering in tight
places easier for you. But since there are
technical limitations to what it can do, al
ways exercise the utmost care and
attention when parking and when
maneuvering your vehicle in tight
places.
When you are backing up in parking maneu
vers, a _ park assist warning system using ul
trasonrc sensors helps you determine the
distance between your rear bumper, where
the sensors are located, and obstacles be
hind the vehicle.
The parking assist system is activated as
soon as you put the vehicle in Re
verse. A brief tone confirms that the sys
tem is activated.
Distance warning in reverse begins at a dis
tance of about 5.2 ft. (1.60 m) from the ob
stacle. As the distance becomes smaller,
the time inteNal between the audible tones
grows shorter.
112 The
danger zone begins at a distance of
about 1 ft. (0.30 m). Do not back up any fur
ther once you have reached the danger
z _one. The danger zone is signaled by a con
trnuous tone.
�W ARNING
• The park assist system is not a
substitute for the driver's own
caution and alertness. Ultimate re
sponsibility always lies with the
driver during parking and similar
maneuvers.
• Sensors have dead spaces in
which objects cannot be detected.
Be especially alert for small chil
dren and animals, since they are
not always detected by the sen
sors.
• Objects. such as trailer hitches,
thin painted rods, or fences, may
not always be detected by the sys
tem, but they can damage your ve
hicle. Note
• If a warning tone is audible for about 5
seco �ds when you turn on th e ignition, a
fault rs present in the system. Have the
problem corrected by your authorized Audi
dealer.
• The sensors must be kept clean and free
of ice for the park assist system to function
properly.
f4
WARNING continued
• If the brake warning light does
not go out with the engine running
and the parking brake released, or
lights up while you ere driving, the
fluid level in the brake fluid reser
voir is too low.
• If you believe that it Is safe to do
so, proceed immediately at low
speed to the nearest authorized
Audi Dealer or qualified workshop
and have the brake system in
spected.
• Please be very careful and be
sure to remember that after sev
eral brake applications, you will
need greater pressure on the brake
pedal to stop your vehicle. Conse
quently, you must allow for in
creased braking distances. Trying
to brake as quickly as usual could
lead to an accident.
For details see "Brakes.. on page
201. Generator
This
light comes on when the ignition is
turned on and goes out after the engine is
started. If the light does not go out after
star ting and rewing up the engine momen
tarily or lights up while driving, there may be
a malfunc tion in the electrical system, or the
V- belt driving the gener ator may be broken. A If the warning light comes on
V while driving, stop the vehicle
and turn oft the engine. Inspect the
belts.
If the V-belt is not torn, you can still continue
driving to the nearestAudi Dealer. However,
since the battery is no longer being charged,
switch off all unne cessary electrical equip
ment.
If the V- belt is tom, the power steering and
the radiator fan will also not work.
Obtain expert assistance.
g Always heed all WA RNINGS
r!!l on page 232, chapter "En
gine compartment '". CONT
ROLS AND EQ UIPMENT
Safety belts
Yo ur vehicle has a warning light to remind
you to wear your safety belt and to make
sure that others do too.
After switching on the ignition, the warning
light in the instrument cluster will come on
for about 6 seconds along with a war ning
tone. As soon as you fasten your safety belt,
the warning tone will stop.
The warning light, however, will be on for
the entire 6 seconds.
Fasten your safety belt now and ma
ke sure that your passengers also
properly put on their safety belts.
Please be sure to read the chapter
"Safety belts" page 14.
127
Radiator
fan
The radiator fan is driven by the engine via
the V-belt. The viscous clutch regulates the
speed of the fan according to the tempera
ture of the coolant.
An auxiliary electric radiator fan switches on
and off depending on coolant temperature
and other vehicle operation conditions.
� WARNING
• Always use extreme caution to
prevent clothing. jewelry, or long
hair from getting caught in the en
gine driven radiator fan, V-belt or
other moving parts.
• Never touch the auxiliary elec
tric radiator fan. The fan can
switch on suddenly and injure you.
Always heed all WA RNINGS
on page 232. Power
steering
Yo ur vehicle is equipped with a Servotro
nic power steering. The degree of
power assistance is regulated electronically
according to road speed.
The fluid reservoir is in the engine compart
ment near the windshield washer container.
The correct fluid level in the reserv oir is im
portant for the proper functioning of power
steer ing.
The power steering fluid level is checked
during the scheduled Maintenance ser
vices.
If the electronic regulating system is not
working properly, this is most noticeable
when turning the steering wheel at low
speeds (for example when parking) -more
effort will be required than usual. The fault
should be rectified by an Audi Dealer as
soon as possible. VEH
ICLE CARE
Note
• When the engine is running, never hold
the steering wheel turned all the way to the
right or to the left for longer than 15 sec
onds. The power steering pump will over
heat the hydraulic fluid if you hold the steer
ing wheel all the way turned.
This will damage the power steering
system.
Each time the steering wheel is turned all
the way to the right or left when stopped,
you will hear noises caused by the severe
stress placed on the power steering pump.
At the same time, engine idle speed drops.
• If the power steering system
should fail, or if the engine is not
running (for example, while being
towed). you will still be able to steer
the vehicle, however. more effort
will be required.
• If the power steering system should
have a leak, or is not functioning properly,
contact your authorized Audi Dealer imme
diately.
