In order to become familiar with the gearshift indicator, begin
driving as usual. If the current gear is not the best one for
conserving fuel , the indicator will display the recommended gear.
Con tro ls and eq uip­
ment
Driver information system
The display shows the current gear and the recommended gear
~ fig. 8.
• Upshifting: The display is to the right of the current gear if a
higher gear is recommended.
• Downshifting: The display is to the left of the curren t gear if a
lower gear is recommended.
Sometimes the indicator will recommend skipping a gear
(3 lllll-5).
[ i J Tips
• This indicator should help you conserve fuel. It is not designed
to recommend the correct gear in all driving situations. Only the
driver can decide which gear is correct in certain driving situations
such as when accelerating or driving on hills.
• The display switches off when the clutch pedal is pressed.
• Gear shift recommendation can be deactivated in the driver
information system

Starting and stopping the engine
Starting the engine
The engine can only be started with on original Audi key
and the clutch pedal* depressed.
- Set the parking brake.
Move the selector lever to the neutral position (automatic
transmission: selector lever in P or N)
~ & .
- On vehicles with manual transmission, fully depress the
clutch pedal.
- Turn the ignition key to position
0 ~ page 92, fig. 79 -
do not depress the gas pedal when starting the engine!
- Let go of the key as soon as the engine starts.
A cold engine may at first be loud after it has been started. This is
due to the hydraulic valves building up the oil pressure . This normal
and no need for concern.
If the engine does not start immediately, stop trying after 10
seconds and then try to restart the engine about 30 seconds later.
& WARNING
Never start or let the engine run in a confined or enclosed area.
Exhaust fumes from the engine contain carbon monoxide, a color­
less and odorless gas. Carbon monoxide can be fatal if inhaled.
• Never leave the engine idling unattended. An unattended
vehicle with a running engine poses a danger of personal injury or
theft.

ment
On the road
0 Note
• Avoid high engine speeds, fast acceleration or heavy engine
loads while the engine is still cold. This could damage the engine.
• The engine cannot be started by pushing or towing the vehicle.
~ For the sake of the environment
To avoid unnecessary engine wear and to reduce exhaust emis­
sions, do not let your vehicle stand and warm up. Be ready to drive
off immediately after starting your vehicle. Maintain moderate
speed until the engine is completely warm. Remember, the engine
performs best at operating temperature. •
Stopping the engine
-Turn the ignition key to position G) ~ page 92, fig. 79.
& 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.
• The radiator fan can continue to run for up to 10 minutes even
after you have turned off the engine and removed the ignition key.
The radiator fan can also turn on again if the engine coolant heats
up because of intense sunlight or heat build-up
in the engine
compartment. .,

Audi magnetic ride is an e lectronically controlled damping system.
This chassis system assists the driver by adap ting to the particular
situation through imperceptib le control processes. The
damping
provides individua l modulation of damp ing forces. For example,
with damping characteristics set to provide greater comfort ,
damping is set somewhat harder for a brief period only as required,
when rounding a curve and when braking .
Standard setting
Select the standard setting if you prefer a suspension setting
emphasizing comfort .
Spo rt setting
Se lect the sport setting if you prefer a sporty suspension setting .
The LED in the switch comes on to indicate sport setting.

& 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 . •

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 .
• If you are uncertain about what to do, have the work performed
by an authorized Audi dealer or other qualified workshop. Serious
personal injury may result from improperly performed work.
[ i] Tips
• If you must replace the light bulbs yourself, always remember
that the engine compartment of any vehicle is a hazardous area to
work in. Always read and heed all WARNINGS=>
page 209, "Engine
compartment"=>
/A .
• It is best to ask your authorized Audi dealer whenever you need
to change a bulb .•
