[ i ] Tips
• In order to make sure the locking function is working, you should
always keep your eye on the veh ic le to make sure it is properly
locked.
• Do not use the remote control if you are inside the car, otherwise
you may unintentionally lock the vehicle, and then you would set off
the anti -theft alarm when you try to s tart the engine or open a door.
In case this happens anyhow, push the unlock button
0.
• Use the panic function only if you are in an emergency
situation. •

Applies to vehicl es: with Adap tive light
Adaptive Light
When driving around bends, the relevant area of the rood
is better illuminated.
Fig . 58 Adaptive Light
when driving
The benefit of Adaptive Light is that the curve and the edge of the
road are better illuminated => fig. 58. The Adaptive Light is
controlled automatically, depending on vehicle speed and steering
wheel angle .
When driving around bends, the head lights are controlled
according to steering wheel angle. So that there is no black area
ahead of the vehicle, the two main beams pivot at different angles .
[ i I Tips
The system works above a speed of about 10 km/h. •

Ge nera l inf ormati on
The w indshield wipers and the windshield washer system operate
only with the ignition on.
During a temporary stop, e.g. at a traffic signal, the set wipe speed
is automatically reduced by one stage.
The windshield washer nozzles are heated at low temperatures
when the ignition is on .
Rem ov ing w ate r dro ple ts
About 5 seconds after the wash cycle is complete, the wiper system
performs a single automatic wipe cycle to remove any water drop­
lets that remain on the windshield .
If you wou ld like to deactivate this delayed wipe cycle while driving,
you have to pull the lever to position © again within 10 seconds
after this wipe cyc le.
Water droplet removal is reactivated after the ignition is switched off and then on again .

ment
Cl ea r vision
Ra in se nso r
The rain sensor operates only in the interval wiper position . When it
starts to rain, the interval wiper mode is activated automatica lly .
If the windshie ld wiper lever is in the interval wipe position with the
ignit ion switched off, the rain sensor is not activated until vehicle
speed is above 4 mph (6 km/h).
To reduce the sensit ivity of the rain sensor, the switch © must be
moved down. To increase the sensitivity of the rain sensor, the
switch must be moved up.
The higher the sensitiv ity setting, the sooner the windsh ield w ipers
react to moisture on the windshield. Increased sensitivity is
s igna led by the windshie ld wipers making a sing le pass over the
windshield.
The rain sensor wiper interva ls depend on the se nsitivi ty setting as
we ll as vehicle speed. During brief stops, wiper motion will adjust in
re lation to the amount of rain on the windshield .

& WARNING
• Never turn off the engine until the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
• The brake booster and servotronic only work when the engine
is running. With the ignition turned off, you have to apply more
force when steering or braking. Since you cannot steer and stop
normally, this can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
• For safety reasons, you should always park your vehicle with
the selector lever in P. Otherwise, the vehicle could inadvertently roll away.
• After the engine has been switched off, the radiator fan can
continue to run for up to 10 minutes -even with the ignition
switched off. It can also switch on again after some time if the
coolant temperature rises as the result of a heat buildup or if the
engine is hot and the engine compartment is additionally heated
by the sun's rays.
0 Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for an extended period,
heat builds up in the engine compartment after the engine is
switched off -there is a risk of damaging the engine. Allow the
engine to run at idle for about 2 minutes before switching it off. •

Driver messages in the instrument cluster
display
If a function is not present, a driver message appears.
No key identified
This message appears when the [STAR T) button is pressed if there
is no master key inside the vehicle or if the system does not recog­
nize it. For example, the master key cannot be recognized if it is
covered by an object (e.g. aluminum brief case) which
screens the radio signal.
.Electronic devices such as cell phones can also inter­
fere with the radio signal.
Press brake pedal to start engine
This message appears if you press the [ START) button to start the
engine and do not depress the brake pedal. The engine can only be
started if the brake pedal is depressed.
Engage N or P to start engine
This message appears when the engine is started if the selector
lever for the automatic transmission is not in the P or N position.
The engine can only be started with the selector in these positions.
? Key not in vehicle
This message appears along with the symbol if the master key is
removed from the vehicle with the engine running. It is intended to
remind you (e.g. when changing drivers) not to continue the journey
without the master key.
If the master key is no longer in the vehicle, you cannot switch off
the ignition after stopping the engine and you also cannot start the engine again. Moreover, you cannot lock the vehicle from the
outside with the key.
Shift to P, otherwise vehicle can roll away. Doors do not lock if lever
is not in
P.
This message appears for safety reasons along with a warning
buzzer if the selector lever for the automatic transmission is not in
the P position when the ignition is switched off with the
[STOP)
button and the driver's door is opened. Move the selector lever to
the P position, otherwise the vehicle is not secured against rolling
away. You also cannot lock the vehicle using the locking button on
the door handle or using the remote key.
To engage steering lock, press and hold STOP button
This message appears for safety reasons if the engine and the igni ­
tion have been switched off by pressing the [
STOP) button once, .,,_

Some driving situations which affect the function of the
radar sensor ore described below.
When driving, the Adaptive Cru ise Control is governed by physical
and system -specified limits. Also, under certain circumstances, the
ACC system may react unexpec tedly or late from the dr iver's point
of view. Therefore, always be attentive and intervene, if necessary :
• when driv ing around curves~

Audi lane assist
Lane assist
Applies to vehic les : w ith lane assist
Description
Lane assist helps you keep your vehicle in your lane.
Lane assist uses a camera to detect lane boundary lines. If the
system detects that your vehicle is about to leave a lane boundary
line, the steering wheel
vibrates to alert the driver . If lane assist
de tects boundary lines on both sides of the vehicle's lane, the
system enters active standby mode, which is indicated by the green
indicator light /: on the instrument cluster.
If the system is in active standby mode and the turn signal is acti­
vated before driving over the boundary line, the warning does not
occur since the system allows for intentional lane changes.
The system is designed for driving on freeways and expanded high­
ways and thus works only at speeds of 40 mph (65 km/h) or more.
& WARNING
• Lane assist will not keep your vehicle in your lane. The system
only warns the driver when the vehicle is leaving the lane . The
driver is always responsible for keeping the vehicle in the lane .
• The camera is not able to detect all lane boundary lines and in
some cases might also detect lane structures or objects as
boundary lines . This can lead to incorrect warnings or warnings
that fail to go off at all.
• The camera's visibility can be impaired by vehicles ahead of
you , for instance, or by rain, snow, heavy spray or light shining into
the camera lens. This can cause lane assist to fail to detect
boundary lines. •
