Turning on autom atic mode
- Set the temperature between 60 ° F (+16 °C) and 84 °F
(+28 °().
- Press the [AUTO I button.
Automatic mode ensures constant temperatu res in the interior and
dehumidifies the air inside the vehicle. Air temperature, volume and
distribution are controlled automatically to reach or maintain the
desired interior temperature as q uickly as possib le . Fluctuations in
exterior temperature and the effects of temperature from the posi­
tion of the sun are compensated for automatically.
Th is operating mode works only in an adjustable temperature range
of 60° F (+16°() to 84°F (+ 28°C) . If a temperature below 60° F
(+ 16°() is selec ted, LO appears in the display . At temperatures above
84°F (+28°(), HI is disp layed . At both extreme settings, climate
control runs continuously at maximum cooling or heat ing power .

Automatic recirculation
An air quality sensor detects increased concentrations of
pollutants in the outside air and automatically switches to recirculation mode.
We recommend that you always keep automatic recirculation ON to
prevent polluted outside air from entering the vehicle interior .
If the
air quality sensor located in the climate control system detects
polluted outside air, the sensor decides whether the air pollution can
be reduced by the factory-installed pollutant filter or whether it is
necessary to switch to recirculation. With heavy concentrations of
pollutants, the climate control system is switched automatically to
recirculation mode and the supply of outside air is blocked . As soon
as the concentration of pollutants in the outside air drops, fresh air is
supplied to the vehicle interior again.
I n the event that the windows fog up during automatic recirculation ,
press the
l<:wl button immediately.
Under certain operating conditions, automatic recirculation is
switched off automatically. When outside temperatures are below
about
50 °F ( +10 °C), automatic recirculation is limited to
30 seconds. When outside temperatures are below about 30 °F (-
1 °C),
automatic recirculation is limited to 15 seconds.•

& WARNING
Improper use of steering wheel adjustment and improper seating
position can cause serious personal injury .
• Adjust the steer ing wheel column only when the vehicle is not
moving to prevent loss of vehicle control.
• Adjust the dri ver's seat or steering wheel so that there is a
minimum of 10 inches (25 cm) between your che st and the
steering wheel=>
page 172, fig. 164. If you cannot maintain th is
minimum distance , the airbag system cannot protect you prop­
erly .
• If phy sical limitations prevent you from sitting 10 in ches (25
cm) or more from the steering wheel, check with your authorized
Audi dealer to see if adaptive equipment is available.
• If the steering wheel is al igned w ith your face , the supp le­
mental driver 's airbag cannot provide as much protection in an
accident . Always make sure that the steering wheel is aligned with
your chest.
• Always hold the steering wheel with your hands at the 9 o 'clock
and 3 o'clo ck position s to reduce the risk of personal injury if the
driver 's airbag deploys .
• Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock po sition or with
your hands inside the steering wheel
rim or on the steer ing wheel
hub. Holding the stee ring wheel the wrong way can cause serious
injur ies to the hands, arms and head if the driver's airbag

The ignition is switched on and the engine started with
the ignition key.

-fvtanual transmission: Fully depress the clutch pedal and
move the shift lever to the neutral position.
-Automatic transmission*: Step on the brake pedal and
move the selector lever to the
P or N position.
- Press the key=> fig. 107 -the engine will start .
By pressing the key without stepping on the clutch or the brake, the
ign ition is switched on and off. With the ignition on, the steering
wheel is unlocked.
You can only remove the key with the ignition switched off . To do this,
you have to press on the key again. With an automatic transmiss ion,
the selector lever must be in the
P position.
When starting the engine, major electrical loads are switched off
temporarily . After
starting a cold engine, there may be a brief period of increased
noise because the oil pressure must first build up in the hydraulic
valve adjusters . This is normal and not a cause for concern .
If the engine should not start immediately, the starting process is
automatically stopped after a short time. Repeat starting procedure.

• When the ve hicle is parked, the parking brake goes through a self­
t e st cy cl e a t regu lar inte rvals . Any a ssoci ate d noises are normal. •

& WARNING
• When you leave your vehicle -even if only briefly -always
remove the ignition key . Thi s 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 window s) . There is the risk of an accident.
• When the vehicle is lo cked, 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. •

Vehicle care Technical data

_____ o_ n_ t_h _e_ r_o _a _ d ________________________________________________ _
When stopping at a traffic signal or stopping in city traffic on vehicles
with an automatic transmission, the parking brake can be applied.
The vehicle does not have to be held with the footbrake . The parking
brake eliminates the tendency to creep with a drive range engaged.
As soon as you drive
off as usual, the parking brake is released auto ­
matically and the vehicle starts to move.
Starting on slopes
When starting on inclines, the starting assist prevents the vehicle
from unintentionally rolling back. The braking force of the parking
brake is not released until sufficient driving force has been built up at
the wheels .
[I) Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is released automatically only
when the driver 's safety belt is engaged in the buckle. •
Starting off with a trailer
To prevent rolling back unintentionally on an incline, do
the following:
- Keep the switch pulled and depress the accelerator. The
parking brake stays applied and prevents the vehicle from
rolling backward.
- You can release the switch once you are sure that you are
developing enough driving force at the wheels by
depressing the accelerator.
Depending on the weight of the rig (vehicle and trailer) and the
severity of the incline, you may roll backwards as you start. You can
prevent rolling backwards by holding the parking brake switch pulled
out and accelerating -just as you would when starting on a hill with a
conventional hand brake. •
Emergency braking
In the event that the conventional brake system fails or
locks.
- In an emergency, pull the switch and continue to pull it to
slow your vehicle down with the parking brake .
- As soon as you release the switch or accelerate, the
braking process stops.
If you pull the switch and hold it above a speed of about 5 mph (8
km/h), the emergency braking function is initiated. The vehicle is
braked at all four wheels by activating the hydraulic brake system.
The brake performance is similar to making an emergency stop:::>& .
In order not to activate the emergency braking by mistake, an audible
warning tone (buzzer) sounds when the switch is pulled. As soon as
the switch is released, or the accelerator pedal is depressed, emer­
gency braking stops.
& WARNING
Emergency braking should only be used in an emergency, when
the normal foot brake has failed or the brake pedal is obstructed.
Using the parking brake to perform emergency braking will slow
your vehicle down as if you had made a full brake application. The laws of physics cannot be suspended even with ESP and its associ­
ated components (ABS, ASR, EDS). In corners and when road or
weather conditions are bad, a full brake application can cause the
vehicle to skid or the rear end to break away· risking an accident. •
Driver messages in the instrument cluster
Warning Vehicle incline is excessive
This message appears when the parking brake is applied on an incline
that exceeds about 30%. ._
