& WARNING
If a gear or a drive range (automatic transmission) is engaged with
the vehicle stationary and the engine running, you must in no
instance accelerate or release the clutch carelessly . Otherwise the
vehicle will start to move immediately -risk of an accident.
0 Note
If the symbol (CD) in the display or the indicator light BRAKE (USA
models)/ {(i)) (Canada models) in the instrument cluster flashes, there
is a malfunction in the brake system. By pressing the
[SET] button,
you can bring up a driver message which explains the malfunction in more detail. If the driver message
Parking brake! appears, there
is an operating malfunction in the parking brake which you should
have repaired immediately by an authorized Audi dealer or other
qualified workshop ~
page 29.
[ i] Tips
• You can apply the parking brake at any time -even with the igni ­
tion turned off. The ignition must be turned on in order to release
the parking brake.
• Occasional noises when the parking brake is applied and
released are normal and are not a cause for concern.
• When the vehicle is parked, the parking brake goes through a
self -test cycle at regular intervals. Any associated noises are
normal. •
Parking
Various rules apply to prevent the parked vehicle from
rolling away accidentally.
Parking
- Stop the vehicle with the foot brake.
Controls and equip ­
ment
- Pull the switch to apply the parking brake.
- Automatic transmission*: Move the selector lever to
P.
- Turn the engine off=:,& .
- Manual transmission: Shift into 1st gear.
In addition on inclines and grades
-Turn the steering wheel so that your vehicle will roll
against the curb in case it should start to move.
& WARNING
• When you leave your vehicle -even if only briefly -always
remove the ignition key. This applies particularly when children
remain in the vehicle. Otherwise the children could start the
engine, release the parking brake or operate electrical equipment
(e.g. power windows). There is the risk of an accident.
• When the vehicle is locked, no one -particularly not children
should remain in the vehicle. Locked doors make it more difficult
for emergency workers to get into the vehicle -putting lives at
risk. •
Starting from rest
The starting assist function ensures that the parking
brake is released automatically upon starting.
Stopping and applying parking brake
-Pull the switch to apply the parking brake.
Starting and automatically releasing the parking
brake
-When you start to drive as usual, the parking brake is

may vary, depending on the type of display in your vehicle. The indi­
cator light
CRUISE (US model)/ (7)0 (Canadian model) will also light up
in the instrument cluster .
The speed is kept constant by modifying engine power or through
an active brake intervention.
& WARNING
• Always pay attention to the traffic around you when the cruise
control is in operation. You are always responsible for your speed
and the distance between your vehicle and other vehicles.
• For reasons of safety, cruise control should not be used in the
city, in stop-and-go traffic, on twisting roads and when road condi­
tions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydro­
planing) -you could have an accident.
• Switch the cruise control off temporarily when driving in
turning lanes, highway exits or in construction zones.
• Please note that unconsciously "resting" your foot on the
accelerator pedal causes cruise control not to brake. This is due to
the control system being overridden by the driver's acceleration.
[ i] Tips
• Vehicles with manual transmission: You can attain the set speed
only if the gear that is currently engaged will allow it, or if it does not tax the engine and allows it to run smoothly. Therefore shift into
a higher or lower gear in a timely manner.
• The brake lights illuminate as soon as the brakes apply
automatically .•
Changing speed
- Press the lever in the direction of the 0 ~ page 115,
fig. 120 or in the direction of the Q to increase or
decrease your speed. -
Let go of the lever to save that speed.
Change speed in increments of 1 mph (1 km/hi by lightly pressing
the lever . If you keep the lever pressed down, you will alter your
speed in 5 mph (10 km/hi increments.
You can also press the accelerator pedal down to increase your speed, e.g. if you want to pass someone. The speed you saved
earlier will resume as soon as you let off of the accelerator pedal.
If, however, you exceed your saved speed by 5 mph (10 km/h) for
longer than 5 minutes, the cruise control will be turned off tempo­
rarily. The green symbol in the display turns white, the saved speed
is retained .•
Pre -selecting speed
You can pre-select your desired speed while the vehicle is
not moving.
Turn on the ignition.
- Pull lever into position 1
~ page 115, fig. 120.
Press the lever in the
0 or Q direction to increase or
decrease your speed.
- Let go of the lever to save that speed.
This function makes it possible, for example, to save the speed you
want before driving on the highway. Once on the highway, activate

Adaptive cruise control
Speed and distance control system
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive cruise contro l
Description
The adaptive cruise control driver assistance program is
a combined speed and distance control system.
Fig . 122 Front
bumper: Position of
radar sensor
Any speed between about 20 mph (30 km/h) and about 95 mph
(150 km/h) can be set and held with the adaptive cruise control. The
system also regulates a pre-set distance from the vehicle ahead
within the limits of the system described.
Driving can be more relaxed, particularly on long trips on interstates
or on other highways that are generally straight.
How does it work?
You can operate the adaptive cruise control using the lever on the
steering wheel column:::::,
page 121, "How is the speed stored?" and
~ page 123, "How is the distance (time interval) set?".
Driver information
Important information is brought up in the speedometer and in the
instrument cluster display as the vehicle is being driven
=:> page 124, "Driver information".
What is important for you to know
The adaptive cruise control is set with system -specified limits, that
is, as a driver, you will have to adjust the speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead in some instances~
page 128, "Driver intervention
prompt" and~
page 130, "System limitations".
& WARNING
Improper use of the adaptive cruise control can cause collisions,
other accidents and serious personal injury.
• Never drive at speeds that are too high for traffic, road and
weather conditions.
• Never follow the vehicle in front so closely that you cannot stop
your vehicle safely. The adaptive cruise control cannot brake the
vehicle safely when you follow another vehicle too closely. Always
remember that the adaptive cruise control has a braking power
that is only about 25% of the vehicle's maximum braking ability,
the automatic braking function cannot bring the vehicle to a stop.
• Never use adaptive cruise control on roads where you cannot
drive safely at a steady speed, including city, stop-and-go or heavy
traffic, on winding roads or when road conditions are poor (for
example, on ice, gravel , in fog, heavy rain or on wet roads that
increase the risk of hydroplaning).
• The radar sensor's
vision can be reduced by rain, snow and
heavy spray. This can result in vehicles driving ahead being inade­
quately detected or, in some circumstances, not detected at all. If
necessary, take action yourself! ..,

speed.
After the I SET j button is released , the current speed is stored and
maintained .
The saved speed is now shown in the LED display in the speedom ­
eter by one or two illuminated red light diodes=>
