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!

Switching to manual
-Push the selector lever to the right from D. As the trans ­
mission has switched,
6 5 4 3 2 1 appears in the display,
with the gear that is engaged highlighted.
Upshifting
Tap the selector lever forward (in the tiptronic setting)
=> page 103, fig. 88 G).
Downshifting
- Tap the selector lever backward (in the tiptronic setting)
o.
Switching to manual can be carried out with the vehic le stationary
as well as moving .
When accelerating, the transmission shifts into the next gear in gears 1 , 2, 3, 4 and 5 shortly before the maximum permissible
engine speed is reached.
If you have selected a lower gear than the current one , the transmis­
sion will only shift down when the engine cannot be overspeeded.
If kick -down is actuated, the transmission shifts into a lower gear
independently of speed and engine rpm .•

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.

Fig. 102 The vehicle
crashes into the wall.
The physical principles are simple. Both the vehicle and the passen­
gers possess energy which varies with vehicle speed and body
weight . Engineers call this energy "kinetic energy."
The higher the speed of the vehicle and the greater the vehicle's
weight, the more energy that has to be "absorbed" in the crash.
Vehicle speed is the most significant factor. If the speed doubles
from 15 to 30 mph (25 to 50 km/h), the energy increases 4 times!
Because the occupants in this vehicle are not using safety belts
~ page 126, fig . 101, they will ke ep moving at the same sp eed the
vehicle was moving just before the crash, until something stops them -here, the wall~ fig. 102 .
The same principles apply to people sitting in a vehicle that is
involved in a frontal collision . Even at city speeds of 20 to 30 mph
(30 to 50 km/h), the forces acting on the body can reach one ton
(2,000 lbs, or 1,000 kg) or more . At higher speeds , these forces are
even greater.
People who do not use safety belts are also not attached to their
vehicle. In a frontal collision they will also keep moving forward at
the speed their vehicle was travelling just before the crash. Of
course, the laws of physics don't just apply to frontal collisions, they
determine what happens in all kinds of accidents and collisions. •
Safety first
Safety belts
What happens to occupants not wearing
safety belts?
In crashes unbelted occupants cannot stop themselves
from flying forward and being injured or killed. Always
wear your safety belts!
Fig. 103 A driver not
wearing a safety belt is
violently thrown
forward
Fig . 104 A rear
passenger not wearing
a safety belt will fly
forward and strike the
driver
Unbelted occupants are not able to resist the tremendous forces of
impact by holding tight or bracing themselves. Without the benefit
of safety restraint systems, the unrestrained occupant will slam
violently into the steering wheel , instrument panel , windshield , or
whatever else is in the way~ fig. 103 . This impact with the vehicle
interior has all th e energy they had just before the crash.
Never rely on airbags alone for protection. Even when they deploy,
airbags provide only additional protection. Airbags are not
91>

supposed to deploy in all kinds of accidents. Although your Audi is
equipped with airbags, all vehicle occupants, including the driver, must wear safety belts correctly in order to minimize the risk of
severe injury or death in a crash.
Remember too, that airbags will deploy only once and that your
safety belts are always there to offer protection in those accidents
in which airbags are not supposed to deploy or when they have
already deployed. Unbelted occupants can also be thrown out of the
vehicle where even more severe or fatal injuries can occur.
It is also important for the rear passengers to wear safety belts
correctly. Unbelted passengers in the rear seats endanger not only
themselves but also the driver and other passengers:::::,
page 127,
fig. 104. In a frontal collision they will be thrown forward violently,
where they can hit and injure the driver and/or front seat passenger. •
Safety belts protect
People think it's possible to use the hands to brace the
body in a minor collision. It's simply not true!
Fig . 105 Driver is prop­
er ly restrained in a
sudden braking
maneuver.
Safety belts used properly can make a big difference . Safety belts
help to keep passengers in their seats, gradually reduce energy
levels applied to the body in an accident, and help prevent the uncontrolled movement that
can cause serious injuries. In addition,
safety belts reduce the danger of being thrown out of the vehicle.
Safety belts attach passengers to the car and give them the benefit
of being slowed down more gently or "softly" through the "give" in
the safety belts, crush zones and other safety features engineered
into today's vehicles. By "absorbing" the kinetic energy over a
longer period of time, the safety belts make the forces on the body
more "tolerable" and less likely to cause injury.
Although these examples are based on a frontal collision, safety belts can also substantially reduce the risk of injury in other kinds
of crashes. So, whether you're on a long trip or just going to the
corner store, always buckle up and make sure others do, too . Acci­
dent statistics show that vehicle occupants properly wearing safety
belts have a lower risk of being injured and a much better chance of
surviving an accident. Properly using safety belts also greatly
increases the ability of the supplemental airbags to do their job in a
collision . For this reason, wearing a safety belt is legally required in
most countries including much of the United States and Canada.
Although your Audi is equipped with airbags, you still have to wear
the safety belts provided. Front airbags, for example, are activated
only in some frontal collisions. The front airbags are not activated in
all frontal collisions, in side and rear collisions, in roll overs or in
cases where there is not enough deceleration through impact to the
front of the vehicle. The same goes for the other airbag systems in
your Audi. So, always wear your safety belt and make sure every­ body in your vehicle is properly restrained! •
Important safety instruct~ons about safety
belts
Safety belts must always be properly positioned across
the strongest bones of your body.
Always wear safety belts as illustrated and described in
this chapter. _,

Intelligent technology
Notice about data recorded by
vehicle control modules
Your vehicle is not equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR),
installed by some manufacturers for the express purpose of
capturing data for retrieval after an accident or crash event . EDR's
are sometimes called "crash recorders".
Some state laws restrict the retrieval or downloading of data stored
by EDR's that were installed in a vehicle for the express purpose of
retrieving data after an accident or crash event w ithout the owner's
consent.
Although your vehicle is not equipped with an EDR, it is equipped
with a number of electronic control modules for various vehicle systems such as, for example, engine function, emission control, as
well as for the airbags and safety belts.
These electronic control modules also record vehic le-related data
during norma l vehicle opera tion for diagnostic and repair purposes .
The recording capacity of the electronic control modules is limited
to data (no sound is recorded) and only a small amount of data is
actually recorded over a very limited period of time and stored when
a system fault or other condition is sensed by a control unit. Some
of the data then stored may relate to vehic le speed, direction,
braking as well as restraint system use and performance in the
even t of a crash or other condition . Stored data can only be read and
downloaded with special equipment.
Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP)
Genel'61
The Electronic Stability Program increases driving
sta bility.
Fig . 13 0 Cente r
cons ole with ESP
sw itch
With ESP, control over the veh icle is increased in situations when
the vehicle is close to the limits of grip, such as during acce leration
and in curves. ESP reduces the risk of skidding a nd improves vehicle
stability under all road conditions . It operates at all speeds .
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), E lec tronic Differentia l Lock (EDS)
and Anti-Slip Regulation System (ASR) are integrated in the Elec­
tronic Stability Program .
H ow ESP work s
The ESP control unit processes the following data from high-sensi ­
tive sensors: the rotational speed of the vehicle about its vertica l
axis, fore -and -aft and lateral acceleration forces, brake pressure and
steering angle.
Using steering ang le and vehicle speed, the direction the driver
wishes to travel is determined and continuously compared with
actual vehicle behavior . If the two do not match, for example when
