Intelligent technology

vi dual components. It regulates consumption, so that more electrical
energy is not being used than is being generated and ensures an
optimal state of charge for the battery .
[I] Tips
• But even energy management cannot negate the limits of physics.
Consider that the power and life of a battery are limited.
• If starting ability is threatened, you are informed by a warning
~ page 249, "Driver notification in the instrument cluster display" .•
What you should know
The highest priority is given to maintaining starting capa ­
bility.
Th e battery is severe ly taxed in short-distance driving, in city traffic
and during the cold time of year. Abundant electrical energy is
required, but only a little is generated.
It is also critical if the engine
is not running and electrical components are turned on. In this
instance energy is being consumed but none is being generated.
It is in prec ise ly these sit uations that you will notice energy manage­
ment actively regulating the distribution of energy.
Vehicle stands for an extended period
If you do not drive your vehicle over a period of several days or weeks,
electrical components are gradually cut back or sw itched off. This
reduces energy consumption and maintains starting capability over a
longer period.
Take into consideration that when you unlock your vehicle, some
convenience functions, such as the remo te key or power seat adjust­
ment, may not be available. The convenience functions will be avail­
able again when you turn on the ignition and start the engine.
W ith the engine turned off
If you listen to the radio, for example, with the engine turned off or
use other MMI functions, the battery is being discharged .
If starting capability is jeopardized due to energy consumption, the
following warning appears in the MMI display:
Please start engine, otherwise system will switch off in
3 minutes.
Th e warn ing indicates that the system will be turned off automati­
cally after 3 m inutes. If you wish to continue using the functions, you
have to start the engine.
With the engine running
Although electrica l energy is generated when the vehicle is being
driven, the battery can become discharged. This happens most ly
when little energy is being generated and a great deal consumed and
the battery's state of charge is not optimal.
T o br ing the ene rgy balance back into equilibrium, consumers which
require especially large amounts of energy are temporarily cut back
or switched off. Heating systems in particular require a great deal of
energy .
If you notice, for example, that the heated seats* or the
heated rear window are not heating, they have been temporarily cut
back or switched off. These systems will be ava ilable again as soon as
the energy ba lance has been restored.
You will also notice that engine idle speed has been increased
slightly. This is normal and not a cause for concern. By increasing
eng ine id le speed the additional energy required is generated and the
battery is charged. •

Your authorized Audi dealer can provide cleaning products that have
been tested and approved for your vehicle.•
Care of interior
MMI display
- Clean the MMI display with a soft clean cloth and an LCD
cleaner.
The MMI display can be cleaned with a professionally available "LCD
cleaner". The cloth shou ld be slightly dampened with the cleaning
fluid to clean the d isplay.
0 Note
T o avoid scratch ing the MMI display, you should never clean it dry.•
MMI control console
-First clean the MMI control console with a brush to
remove dust from the housing.
- Then wipe the MMI control console with a clean, soft,
slightly damp cloth.
The MM I control console should be cleaned with a brush fi rst so that
no dirt is trapped between the buttons and the housing. We recom­
mend g iv ing the MMI control console a final wipe with a cloth moist­
ened with water and dish washing detergent.
0 Note
To prevent damage, make sure that no fluid ever gets into the MMI
control console. •
Aluminum trim
Use only neutral-pH products to remove spots and deposits from
alumi num surfaces. Chrome care products and alkaline cleaners will
attack aluminum surfaces and can damage them over time .
& WARNING
Always read and heed all WARNINGS and other information
=:>page 260. •
Fabrics and fabric coverings
Fabrics and fabric coverings (e .g . seats, door tr im panels, etc.) should
be cleaned at regular intervals with a vacuum cleaner . This removes
surface dirt particles wh ich could become embedded in the fabric
through use. Steam cleaners should not be used, because the steam
tends to push the d irt deeper into the fabric and lock it there.
Normal cleaning
Generally, we recommend using a soft sponge or a lint-free
microfiber cloth to the clean fabric. Brushes should only be used for
carpets and floor mats, since other fabric surfaces could be harmed
by brushes.
Normal surface stains can be cleaned using a commercially available
foam cleaner . Spread the foam on the surface of the fabric with a soft
sponge and work it in gently. Do not saturate the fabric. Then pat the
foam dry using absorbent, dry cloths (e .g. m icrofiber cloth) and
vacuum it after it has dr ied completely.
Cleaning stains
Stains caused by beverages (e.g. coffee, fru it juice, etc.) can be
treated with a mild detergent solut ion. Apply the detergent solution
with a sponge. In the case of stubborn stains, a detergent paste can
be applied d irectly to the stain and worked into the fabric. After­
wards, use copious amounts of clean water to remove the remaining _..,

consider if children, animals or other factors might prove to be partic­
ularly hard on the leather.
By contrast, leather types that are covered by a colored finish layer
are more durable. This has a positive effect on the leather's resistance
to wear and soiling in daily use . On the other hand, the typical charac­
teristics of natural leather are barely or not apparent . However, this
does not mean that the leather itself is of inf erior quality.
Care and handling
Because of the exclusive nature of the types of leather that Audi uses
and the ir un iqu e properties (such as sensitivity to oils, grease, so iling,
etc.), you will need to be somewhat careful with these leathers, and
a certain type of care is required. For example, dark clothing mate­
ria ls can disco lor leather seats (especially if such clothing is damp and
was not dyed correctly). Dust and dirt particles in pores, folds, and
seams can have an abrasive effect and can damage the leathe r
surface as well as weaken seams .
Th e leather should be cleaned regu larly as needed. After having been
used for a relatively long time, your leather seats will acquire a rich
aged finish. This is a characteristic of natural leather and a sign of
true quality.
In order to ma intain the value of this natural product over the life of
your vehicle, you should fo llow the recommendations below:
0 Note
• To keep your leather from bleaching out, do not allow it to be
exposed to bright sunlight for long periods of time . If you have to
leave the vehicle parked outside for long periods, cover the leather to
protect it from direct exposure to sunlight.
• Sharp objects on clothing, such as zippers, rivets or sharp pieces
on belts can leave pe rmanent scratches or scrape marks on the
surface of the leather.
W Tips
• After each time you clean the leathe r and at regular intervals, use
a leather preservative cream that contains UV-blockers and that
wor ks into the leather. This cream will nourish and moisturize the
leather, helping it to breathe and s tay supple . It also helps to build up
a protect ive coating on the surface.
• Clean the leather every 2 -3 months, and clean any areas that get
soiled.
• Remove fresh marks made by ballpoint pens, ink, lipstick , shoe
polish, etc. as soon as poss ible.
• Preserve the color of the leather as needed by using a special
colored leather care cream to touch up areas of uneven color .•

Cleaning and caring for leather upholstery
and trim
Natural leather requires special care and attention.
Normal cleaning
-Clean soiled areas with a slightly moistened cotton or
woolen cloth.
More stubborn dirt
- More stubborn dirt can be removed using a cloth satu­
rated with a mild soap solution (2 tablespoons mild liquid
soap).
- Never allow the soap solution to satu rate the leather, and
make certain that no water soaks into the seams .
- Wipe off the soap solution with a soft, dry cloth. .,_
