store.
Pull lever @ towards the steering wheel
G) => fig. 138 to
switch the system on.
Press button

After you release button@, the current vehicle speed is stored and
maintained. •
Changing a stored speed
You can change a stored speed.
Accelerate (faster)
-Lift lever @ toward 0 => fig. 138.
Release the lever to store the new speed.
Decelerate (slower)
-Lower lever@ toward O => fig. 138.
- Release the lever to store the new speed.
You can also increase the vehicle speed by depressing the acceler
ator pedal. The vehicle speed will increase as long as you keep the
accelerator pedal depressed. When you let up on the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle speed will automatically return the to previously
stored vehicle speed in the cruise control.
If the actual vehicle speed exceeds the stored vehicle speed in the
cruise control for longer than five minutes and by more than 6 mph
(10 km/h), the cruise control will automatically erase the stored
vehicle speed and you will have to reset the cruise control again.
Tapping the lever lightly @
By lightly tapping the lever@toward G) ~ fig. 138, you can
increase vehicle speed by approximately 1 mph (2 km/h).
By lightly tapping the lever @toward
O ~ fig. 138, you can
decrease vehicle speed by approximately 1 mph (2 km/hl. •
Switching the system off t emporarily

the cruise control:
- pressing the brake pedal, or
- pressing the clutch pedal (on manual transmission
models), or

Applies to vehicles: with mult it ron ic® Contin uously Variable Transm iss io n (CVT )
Dynamic shift program (DSP)
The multitronic® transmission is electronically
controlled .
The transmission selects the appropriate gear ratio (upshifts and
downshiftsl automatically based on preset driving programs .
The transmission will select one of the
economy programs when
you drive at a steady speed or a gradually changing speeds without heavy acceleration. This gives best fuel efficiency, with early
upshifting and delayed downshifting .
The transmission will automatically select th e
sporty shift programs
when you drive at higher speeds, or with heavy acceleration and
fr equ ently changing speeds. Upshifts are d elay ed to make full use
of engine power. Downshifting takes place at higher engine speeds
than in the economy programs .
The selection of the most suitable shift program is a continuous,
automatic process . The driver can also make the transmission
switch to a sporty program by
quickly pressing down the gas pedal.
This causes the transmission to shift down into a lower gear ratio
a n d makes quick acceleration possible (to pass another vehicle) You
do not need to press the gas pedal into the kickdown range. After
the transmission has upshifted, the original prog ram is selected
according to your driving style .
An additional shift program allows the automatic transmission to select the prop er gear for uphill and downhill gradients .
This prevents the transmission from shifting up and down unneces
sarily on hills. The transmission
will shift down to a lower gear ratio
when the driver presses the brake pedal on a downhill gradient . This
makes use of the braking effect of the engine without the need to
shift down manually.
If you are driving in hills and mountains, the transmission will
continuously adjust the g ear ratio to the road grade . If you press the brake pedal when driving downhill, the transmission will downshift
automatically. This increases the braking effect
of the engine.
If the cruise control is on when you are trave.ling downhill, the trans
mission will automatically select a lower gear ratio in order to main
tain the set vehicle speed. This will cause the engine speed to
increase. •
Applies to vehic les: with mult it ro ni c® Continu ous ly Varia ble Trans mission (CVT )
tiptronic ® manual shift program
Using the manual shift program (tiptronic®) you can
manually shift between seven pre -programmed gear
ratios (transmission positions).

[ i] Tips
• Whenever replacing a fuse, always consult the sticker on the
inside of the fuse panel cover. It contains the most up-to-date infor
mation regarding the fuse arrangement . If in doubt, ask your autho
rized Audi Service advisor.
• Some of the equipment items listed are optional or only avail
able on certain model configurations. •
Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have your autho
rized Audi dealer replace burned out bulbs for you.
It is becoming increasingly more and more difficult to replace
vehicle light bulbs since in many cases, other parts of the car must first be removed before
you are able to get to the bulb. This applies
especially to the light bulbs in the front of your car which you can
only reach through the engine compartment.
Sheet metal and bulb holders can have sharp edges that can cause
serious cuts, and parts must be correctly taken apart and then prop
erly put back together to help prevent breakage of parts and long
term damage from water that can enter housings that have not
been properly resealed.
For your safety, we recommend that you have your authorized Audi
dealer replace any bulbs for you, since your dealer has the proper
tools, the correct bulbs and the expertise.
Gas discharge lamps (xenon lights)*:
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the bulbs replaced by a qual
ified technician. Headlights with xenon light can be identified by the
high voltage sticker.
& WARNING
Contact with high-voltage components of the electrical system
and improper replacement of gas discharge (Xenon) headlight
bulbs can cause serious personal injury and death.
• Xenon bulbs are pressurized and can explode when being
changed.
• Changing Xenon lamps requires the special training, instruc
tions and equipment.
• Only an authorized Audi dealer or other qualified workshop
should change the bulbs in gas discharge lamps.
& WARNING
There are parts with sharp edges on the openings and on the bulb holders that can cause serious cuts .
