(I] Tips
If the climate control is running in cooling mode, air flows mainly
from vents @ and @. To achieve adequate cooling, you should never
close these vents completely. •
Applies to vehicles: with Deluxe automatic cl imate control plus
Rear air vents
The rear air vents are located in the center console.
- Rotate the thumbwheel to open and close the vents .
- To adjust the direction of the airflow from the outlet,
move the tab in the center of the outlet in the desired
direction . The direction of the air delivered from the vents
can be adjusted horizontally and vertically.
The air vents are actuated either automatically or manually
depending on the operating mode selected. Heated or unheated
fresh air, or cooled air flows from the vents .
The air vents to heat the rear footwell are located under the front
seats.
(I] Tips
If the climate control is operating in cooling mode, air flows primarily
from the vents in the center console. To achieve adequate cooling,
you should never close these vents completely. •

Economical use of the climate control
system
Economical use of the climate control system helps save
fuel.
When the climate control system is working in cooling mode,
engine performance is reduced and fuel consumption is
affected. To keep the time the climate control system is on as
short as possible, you should do the following:
- To save fuel, turn off cooling mode by pressing the AC
button (indicator light goes out).
- In addition, if you open the window or the panoramic
sliding/tilting sunroof* while driving, turn off cooling
mode by pressing the AC button (indicator light goes out).
- If the vehicle is extremely hot due to the heat of the sun,
briefly open doors and windows.
~ For the sake of the environment
When you save fuel, you reduce emissions from the vehicle. •

If the engine does not start immediately, stop trying after 10 seconds
and then try to restart the engine about 30 seconds later. After a cold engine is started, there may be a brief period of
increased
noise because oil pressure must first build up in the hydraulic valve
adjusters. This is normal and not a cause for concern.

No key identified
This message appears when the !START ENGINE STOP! button is
pressed if there is no master key inside the vehicle or if the system
does not recognize it. For example, the master key cannot be recog­

- Push the slider switch again to the right 0 or to the left
Q to increase or to decrease the distance by one step.
Select distance
The distance at which the adaptive cru ise control follows a vehicle in
front is determined by
time intervals . A time interval to a vehicle in
front is estab lished and maintained. This produces a speed-depen­
dent interval. The higher the speed, the greater the safety interval in
yards (meters) ~

Th e distances provided are specified values. These distances may
exceed or fall short of these target distances, depending on the
driving situation and the driving style of the vehicle ahead.
Distance 1 ~-~ ---
Thi s sett ing is ideal for brisk driving i n bumper-to-bumper traffic. The
distance is one second. This is the equivalent of, for instance,
• a distance of 36 feet (11 meters) at a speed of 25 mph (40 km/h)

•
a distance of 72 feet (22 meters) at a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h)
• a dist ance of 108 feet (33 meters) at a speed of 75 mph (120
km/h)
Distance 2 ,;::::,-- ~--
This setting is ideal for "keeping pace" comfortably in bumper-to­
bumper traffic. The distance is 1.3 seconds. This is the equ ivalent of,
for instance,
• a distance of 46 feet (14 meters) at a speed of 25 mph (40 km/h)
• a dista nce of 95 feet (29 meters) at a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h)
• a distance of 144 feet (44 meters) at a speed of 75 mph ( 120
km/h)
Distance 3 ~--- ~-
This setting is idea l for "keeping pace" in bumper-to-bumper traffic
and is the equivalent of the generally recommended distance that is
"half of the speedometer speed" . The distance is 1 .8 seconds. This is
th e equivalent of, fo r instance,
• a distance of 66 feet (20 meters) at a speed of 25 mph (40 km/h)
• a distance of 131 feet (40 meters) at a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h)
• a distance of 197 feet (60 meters) at a speed of 75 mph (120
km/h)
Distance 4 ~---- ~
This sett ing is ideal for secondary road traffic. The distance is 2.3
seconds. This is the equivalent of, for instance,
• a distance of 82 feet (25 meters) at a speed of 25 mph (40 km/h)
• a distance of 167 feet (51 meters) at a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h)

Setting the signal brightness on the
outside mirror
The signal brightness con be set in the radio or MM!*.
- Select: Function button [CAR ]> Audi side assist -lamp.
- Rotate the control knob to adjust the displayed brightness
of the signal light on the outside mirrors.
The brightness of the signal light for both the informational and alert
stages is automatically adjusted to ambient light conditions. In addi­
tion, you can adjust the
basic brightness separately, via the bright­
ness funct ion.
While making the adjustment, the new brightness setting is displayed briefly. The brightness displayed is that of the informa­
tional stage signal. The alert stage signal brightness is linked to the
informational stage signal brightness.
The informat ional stage signal brightness should be adjusted so that
you notice the signal illumination when you look in the outside
mirror, but not when you look forward through the windshield.
In very dark or light surroundings, the automatic brightness setting
adjusts signal light brightness to maximum or minimum intensity , as
needed. In circumstances such as these, you may not notice any
change in the brightness on the outside mirror when adjusting the
basic brightness.
You may not notice the change until lighting conditions are normal
again.

your foot off the accelerator pedal so that the recently selected mode
is also activated for the eng ine and transmission .
COMFORT
The COMFORT mode prov ides a comfo rtable vehi cle se tting . The
engine and automatic t ransm ission * respond in a balanced manner
when the accelerator pedal is pressed or released. Steering is light
and ind irect*, and adaptive dampers* provide a soft suspension . The
setting is ideal for driving on long stretches , such as on freeways.
AUTO
Full use of AUTO provides a comfortable, yet dynamic feel. The
sett ing is perfect for daily use .
DYNAMIC
DYNAMIC gives the vehicle a sporty feeling. The eng ine responds
quickly to accelerator pedal movements, and steer ing is sporty and
more direct. The adap tive dampers* are adjus ted to provide a stiffer
suspension and the automatic t ransmission* sh ifts at higher RPMs.
The setting is ideal for sporty driving .
INDIVIDUAL*
You can adap t this mode to your personal needs in the
MMI* =>
