& WARNING
• Always observe the warning in =;, page 209 , "Engine compart ­
ment" before opening the engine hood and checking the engine
coolant level.
• Never open the engine hood if you see or hear steam , or if you
see engine coolant dripping from the engine compartment . You
c ould burn your self. Let the engine cool off first so that you cannot
hear or see any steam or engine coolant .
0 Note
• Mounting additiona l lights or accessories in front of the a ir inlets
reduces the co oling effect of the radiat or. At high outside tempera ­
tures or h igh engi ne load , the eng ine could overheat.
• The fron t spoile r has been designed t o properly dist rib ute the
coo ling air when the veh icle is mov ing . If the spo iler is damaged,
this could red uce the coo ling effect and the engine cou ld then ove r­
heat. Ask your authorized Audi deale r for assistance. •

than 3 mph (5 km/h).
L1}. WARNING
• Always observe the warnings in => page 209, "Engine compart­
ment", before opening the engine hood and checking the brake
fluid.
• Driving with low brake fluid is a safety hazard! Stop the car and
get professional assistance.
• If the brake system warning/indicator light illuminates
together with the ABS warning/indicator light, then the ABS system is malfunctioning. The rear wheels could quickly lock up
when you apply the brakes. This could lead to loss of control and
your vehicle could slide! Drive carefully to the nearest authorized
Audi dealer and have the malfunction corrected. •
Engine cooling system malfunction ¾
A malfunction in the engine cooling system must be
repaired as soon as possible.
When the _t symbol in the display flashes, then either the
engine coolant
temperature is too high, or the coolant level
is too low. In addition to the symbol, the following message
also appears in the display:
Switch off engine and check coolant level
-Pull off the road and stop the vehicle.
- Turn off the engine.
- Check coolant level
~ page 225.
-Add coolant if necessary ~ page 225.
-Continue driving only after the engine coolant
warning/indicator light goes out.
- Contact your authorized Audi dealer for assistance if
necessary .
If t he engine coolant lev el is correct, then th e radia tor fan may be
the cause of the malfunction.
If the gene rator warning/indicator light should also illuminate
=> page 18, then the fan belt may be damaged.
L1}. WARNING
• If your vehicle should break down for mechanical or other
reasons, park at a safe distance from moving traffic, turn off the
engine and turn on the hazard warning lights
=> page 57, "Emer­
gency flasher A" .
• Never open the hood if you see or hear steam or coolant
escaping from the engine compartment -you risk being scalded.
Wait until you can no longer see or hear steam or coolant escaping.
• The engine compartment of any vehicle is a dangerous area.
Before you perform any work in the engine compartment, turn off
the engine and allow it to cool. Follow the warning stickers
=> page 209, "Engine compartment" .
0 Note

Clear vision
Coming home situation
In
darkness, the activated system will turn on the headlights, side
marker lights , rear side marker lights , tail lights, and rear license
plate light as soon as the driver's door is opened from inside.
As long as one of the doors or the rear lid remains open, the set of
external lights will keep burning for about four minutes maximum.
To provide light for departure, the set of vehicle lights will keep
burning for about another 30 seconds after all doors and the rear lid
have been closed.
The factory-set time of 30 seconds until the lights are switched off can be adjusted if you prefer a longer or shorter duration. Have the
adjustment done by your authorized Audi dealer or a qualified work­
shop. The system can be adjusted to keep the lights burning for a
maximum of 60 seconds.
Leaving home situation
As soon as the vehicle is unlocked by pressing the
CD button on your
remot e control, the set of external l ights is switched on .
The external lights are switched off as soon as the driver's door is
opened from outside . Even if you had the system readjusted to keep
the lights burning for an extended time for coming home, the
external lights will be turned off if you do not open the driver's door
within 60 seconds after unlocking. See chapter "Opening and
Closing" in your Owner's Manual. If the lights are switched off
before you reach the driver's door, press the@ button once more to
turn them on again.
[ i] Tips
• Do not attach any stickers to the windshield in front of the two
light sensors, as this would interfere with both the automatic oper­
ation of the headlights and the automatic dimming of the inside
mirror(s). • If
the vehicle is remotely unlocked and locked three times in
succession, leaving home will not turn on the lights a fourth time to
safeguard the battery and lights.
• If you wish to use the coming home/leaving home function regu­
larly, you can leave it activated at all times without risking perma­
nent strain on the electrical system. As the system is controlled by
light sensors, it will only be energized in darkness .
• Frequent use of the coming home/leaving home function for
approaching and departing a vehicle parked in the dark will strain
the battery. This applies particularly if only short distances are
driven between stops . Occasionally drive longer distances to make
sure the battery is recharged sufficiently.
• If the fog lights have been switched on by the coming
home/leaving home function, they will always be switched off when
you switch on the ignition. •

The windshield wipers and washer only work when the ign ition is
turned on. If you switch off the ignition with the windshield wiper
l ever still in the interval wipe p osition and the n come back a while
later and drive off , the rain sensor will reactivate itse lf after the
vehic le speed has exceeded 4 mph (6 km/h) .
The rai n se nsor* is only activa ted wit h the wiper lever set to posi­
tion
G) . When it starts to rain , the rain sensor wil l automatically acti ­
vate the in termittent wipi ng mode .
To reduce the sens itiv ity of the sensor, move switch© down . To
increa se the sensitivity, move the switch up . The h igher you adjust
the sensitivity, the faster the sensor will react when it senses mois ­
ture on the w indshie ld. The pauses between wiper turns depend not
only on the sens itivity setting, but on the vehicle speed as well.
During brief stops, e .g . at a red light, wiper motion will automati ­
cally be reduced to the next lower speed. Wipers a lready turning at
low speed . change to intermittent wiping .
When the ignition is turned on, the washe r jets are heated. ...
