Driving Notes
The forward gears are shifted up or down automatically.
Starting from stop
-Step on and hold the brake pedal.
Fig. 87 Section from
center console:
Selector lever with
release button
- Hold the release button (button in selector lever) down,
move the selector lever to the desired position, for
example D =:>
page 100, and release the button.
- Release the brake pedal and accelerate =:>& .
Stopping temporarily
Bring the vehicle to a full stop with the brake, e.g. at
traffic signals.
Do not accelerate.
Parking
-Step on and hold the brake pedal =:> & .
Apply the parking brake firmly.
- Hold the release button down, move the selector lever to
P and release the button.
Stopping on an incline
-Always hold the vehicle with the footbrake or parking
brake in order to prevent "rollback"=:>& . Do
not try to
prevent the vehicle from rolling back by rewing the
engine while it is in gear.
Starting on a hill
- Apply the hand brake firmly.
- With the engine in gear, gradually accelerate and release
the hand brake.
The engine can only be started with the selector lever in P or N
=> page 93. At low ambient temperatures (14 °F /-1 O °C), it is only
possible to start the engine with the selector lever in P.
When parking on level ground, it is sufficient to place the selector
lever in P. On a steeply sloping road , you should first apply the
parking brake firmly and then place the selector lever in P. This way,
you do not overload the pawl mechanism and it is easier to move
the selector lever out of P.
& WARNING
• Never leave your vehicle with the engine running while in gear.
If you must leave your vehicle with the engine running, set the
parking brake and engage the park lock.
• When the engine is running and the transmission is in gear (D,
S or R) or in "tiptronic" mode, it is essential that you stop the
vehicle with the footbrake. When idling, the transmission of power
does not stop completely -the vehicle "creeps".
• Do not accelerate when you change the selector lever position
with the vehicle stationary and the engine running -risk of an acci ­
dent!
• Never place the selector lever in the R or N position while the
vehicle is moving -risk of an accident!

& W ARNING !continued )
• If you have to bring your vehi cle to a stop while on an incline ,
keep the foot bra ke depressed all the way down so that the vehicle
does not start to roll backward . You should never hold the vehicle
using the clutch pedal if you are going to be stopped on an incline.
If you do, the clutch will start to slip when it overheats caused by
the constant overload. This is dangerous because if the vehicle starts to roll backward , you could cause an accident. If the clutch
should start to slip , you will feel the vehicle "jerk" and the selector
lever display will start blinking .
• Before driving down a steep slope , reduce your speed and shift
into a lower gear w ith utiptroni c".
• Do not ride the brakes or apply the brake pedal too often or too
long . Constant braking causes the brakes to overheat and
substantially reduces braking performance , increases braking
distance or causes complete failure of the brake system . •

Kick -dovvn feature
The kick-down feature allows maximum acceleration.
If you depress the accelerator pedal fully beyond the full-throttle
position, the transmission automatically downshifts one gear,
depending on vehicle speed and engine rpm. The upshift into the
next higher gear takes place as soon as the maximum specified
engine speed is reached.
& WARNING
Please note that the drive wheels can spin if the kick-down is used
on a smooth slippery road -risk of skidding! •
Applies to vehicles : withs t ro ni c®
Launch Control Program
The Launch Control Program permits maximum accelera­
tion .
In order to use Launch Control, the ASR (Anti-Slip Regula­
tion) must be disabled. When ASR is disabled, the ESP
warning/indicator light 9 in the instrument cluster illumi­
nates . So that Launch Control can be used, the engine must
be at operating temperature and the steering wheel must
not be turned .
- With the engine running, briefly press the ESP button.
The message "ASR off" appears in the instrument cluster
d isplay.
- Shift the gear lever to "S" or the tiptronic® position.
- Step on the brake pedal with your left foot and keep the
brake pedal fully depressed for at least one second.
Controls and equip ­
ment
- With your right foot, step on the accelerator to the wide­
open throttle position or Kickdown. The engine speed
settles at about 3,200 rpm.
- Take your left foot off the brake.
The S tronic® in your vehicle is electronically controlled. A special
Launch Control Program provides the best acceleration from a
standing start .
& WARNING
• Always adapt your driving to the traffic flow.
• Only use Launch Control when road and traffic conditions allow
it and other drivers will not be endangered or annoyed by your
driving and the acceleration of the vehicle.
• Make sure that ESP remains enabled. With the ESP disabled,
the vehicle could brake away, particularly on a slick and slippery road -risk of skidding!
• Once acceleration is finished, switch ASR on again by briefly
pushing the ESP button. •
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic®
Back-up program
In the event of a system malfunction, there is an back-up
program.
In the event of system malfunctions, the automatic transmission
switches to the fail- safe mode. This is signalled by one segment or
all the segments in the display illuminating or going out .
Th e effect of a system malfunction can be one of the following:
• The program shifts only into certain gears.
• Reverse gear can no longer be engaged.
I • •

• ..__T_ ra_ n_s_ m_ i_ s _s_ i_ o _n ___________________________________________________ _
• The manual shift program (tiptronic) is switched off in the fail­
safe mode.
If the transmission switches to fail-safe mode, you should take the
vehicle to an authorized Audi dealership as soon as possible to have
the condition corrected .•

Driving and environment
The first 1,000 miles ( 1 ,500 km) and
afterwards
New engine
The engine needs to be run-in during the first 1,000 miles
(1,500 km).
For the first 600 miles (1,000 kilometres):
Do not use full throttle.
- Do not drive faster than 3/4 of the top speed marked on
the speedometer.
- Avoid high engine speeds .
From 600 to 1,000 miles (1,000 to 1,500
kilometres):
- Speeds can gradually be increased to the max imum
permissible road or engine speed.
During and after break-in period
- Do not rev the engine up to high speeds when it is cold.
This applies whether the transmission is in N (Neutral) or
1n gear.
After the break-in period
- Do not exceed maximum engine speed under any
circumstances.
- Upshift into the next higher gear before reaching the red
area at the end of the tachometer scale=> page 12.
During the first few hours of driving, the engine's internal friction is
higher than later when all the moving parts have been broken in.
How well this break-in process is done depends to a considerable
extent on the way the vehicle is driven during the first 1,000 miles
(1,500 kilometres).
0 Note
Extremely high engine speeds are automatically reduced. However,
these RPM-limits were programmed for an engine well run-in, not a
new engine.
~ For the sake of the environment
Do not drive with unnecessarily high engine speeds - upshifting
early saves fuel, reduces noise and protects the environment .•
New tires
If your vehicle is running on new tires, drive particularly
careful for the first 350 miles (500 kilometres) after fitting.
& WARNING
New tires tend to be slippery and must also be "broken-in". Be
sure to remember this during the first 350 miles (500 kilometres).
Brake gently. Avoid following closely behind other vehicles or
other situations that might require sudden, hard braking.

0 Note
• Never use chemical solvents (e.g. lighter fluid, turpentine),
waxes, shoe polish or similar products on Alcantara® surfaces.
• To avoid damage, have stubborn stains removed by a commer­
cial cleaning specialist.
• Do not use brushes, stiff sponges or similarly abrasive cleaning
aids. •
Safety belts
Only well-maintained safety belts work reliably when
needed.
Heavily soiled safety belts may not retract properly.
- Keep belts clean.
-For cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution. Let
belts dry thoroughly and away from direct sunlight.
- Do not allow inertia reel safety belts to retract before
they are completely dry.
- Check the condition of your safety belts
regularly.
& WARNING
Damaged safety belts can break in a crash .
• Anything that might damage your safety belts could mean that
you and your passengers would not be adequately protected in an
accident.
• Safety belt performance depends on correct installation. Never
remove belts from the vehicle to clean them .
• Do not use chemical cleaning agents, bleach or dyes. They have
corrosive properties which weaken the webbing.
& WARNING (continued)
• When cleaning your safety belts, inspect them for damage. If
you discover damage, see your Audi dealer .
• Always read and heed all WARNINGS and the information
~ page 198. a
Engine compartment
Be especially careful when cleaning the engine compart­
ment.
Always switch off the ignition before cleaning the engine ~ &­
Plenum panel
Remove leaves from the plenum panel in front of the windshield
under the engine hood. This prevents the water drain holes from
becoming blocked, and it prevents debris from entering the vehicle
interior through the heating and ventilation ducts.
Corrosion protection
The engine compartment and transmission have been corrosion­ protected at the factory.
Good anti-corrosion treatment is very important, particularly in the
winter. If the vehicle is frequently driven on salt treated roads, the
entire engine compartment and plenum panel should be thor ­
oughly cleaned at the end of winter and retreated to prevent salt
damage. At the same time, the underside of the vehicle should be
washed as well.
I f the engine compartment is cleaned at any time with grease
removing solutions
21 , or if you have the engine washed, the anti­
corrosion treatment is almost always removed as well. It is therefore
essential to have a long-lasting corrosion protection reapplied to all
~
21 Use only the correct cleaning solutions. Never use gasoline or diesel fuel.

Closing the engine hood
- Pull the hood down until the pressure from the struts is
reduced .
- Let the hood
drop down and latch in place. Do not try to
push it shut;
it may fail to engage => &.
& WARNING
A hood that is not completely latched could fly up and block your
view while driving.
• When you close the engine hood, check it to make sure the
safety catch has properly engaged. The hood should be flush with
the surrounding vehicle body parts.
• If you notice while driving that the hood is not secured prop­
erly, stop at once and close it. •
Working in the engine compartment
Be especially careful whenever you work in the engine
compartment!
Whenever you must perform any work in the engine compartment,
for example checking and filling the different fluids, there is a risk of injury, burns and accidents. To prevent personal injury always
observe the following WARNINGS. The engine compartment of any
vehicle is a hazardous area!

& WARNING
To help avoid injury, before you check anything under the hood :
• Switch off the engine.
• Remove the ignition key.
• Apply the parking brake .
& WARNING (continued)
• Move selector lever of automatic transmission to "P" (Park);
put manual transmission in Neutral .
• Always let the engine cool down. Hot components will burn
skin on contact.
• To reduce the risk of being burned, never open the hood if you
see or hear steam or coolant escaping from the engine compart­
ment. Wait until no steam or coolant can be seen or heard before
carefully opening the hood .
• Keep children away from the engine compartment.
• Never spill fluids on hot engine components . They can cause a
fire.
• Never touch the radiator fan. The auxiliary electric fan is
temperature controlled and can switch on suddenly.
