A WARNING
- Never use dayt ime running lights to see
where you are going. They are not bright
enough and w ill not let you see far
enough ahead for safety, especially at
dusk or when it is dark . Always switch on
the low beams at dusk or when it is dark.
- Automatic headlights are only intended
to assist the dr ive r. T hey do not relieve
the driver of his responsibility to check
the headlights and to tu rn them on man­
ually acco rding to the c urrent light and
visibili ty cond itions. For example, fog
and rain cannot be detected by the light
sensors . So a lways switch on the head­
lights under these weather cond itions
and when driving in the dark
io .
-Crashes can happen when yo u cannot see
the road ahead and when you cannot be
seen by other motorists .
- Always tur n on t he headlights so that
you can see ahead and so that o thers
c a n see yo ur ca r from the ba ck.
- Please obse rve lega l regu lations whe n
us ing the light ing systems descr ibed .
(D Tips
-The light sensor for headlight control is
l ocated in the rear v iew m irror mount .
Do not apply a ny stic kers to the w ind-
Clear vis ion 43
shield in th is area to p revent malfunc ­
tions or fai lures.
- Some exter io r light ing funct ions can be
adjusted in the d river informat ion sys­
tem
~ page 24.
- If you remove the ignition from the igni ­
tion lock while the headlights are still
on, a buzzer w ill sound as long as the
dr iver's door is open to rem ind you to
t u rn off the lights.
- Always observe the specific loca l regula ­
tions for your area as to when to use your
lights.
- With automatic headlights, the high­
beam function is also available, but w it h
one restrict ion:
If you have not sw itched
t he high beams back to low beams dur­
ing automatic headlight operation (fo r
example, afte r d riving throug h a tunnel),
only the low be ams come on the next
t ime au tomatic headlights are switched
on. To use the high beams, you firs t have
to pull the high beam lever back and
then push the leve r forward again.
- In coo l or damp weather, the inside of
the headlights, turn signals and tail
lights can fog over due to the tempera­
ture difference between the inside and
outside. They w ill clear shortly after
sw itching them on. This does not affect
the se rv ice life of t he lig hti ng .

The front wipe r blades measure left side
23.20 in. (590 mm) and right side 18.SO in.
(470 mm) in length.
C lean your wiper blades regularly with a wind ­
shield washer solution to prevent streaking. If
the blades are very dirty, for example with in­
sects, carefully clean the blades with a sponge
or a soft brush.
If the wiper blades begin to streak the wind­
shield, this could be caused by residue left on
the windshie ld by automatic car washes.
Fill the wi ndshield washe r container with a
spec ial solutio n availab le at your a uth orized
Audi dealer to remove the resid ue .
Be sure to inspect t he condition of your wiper
blades regularly. For safety reasons, rep lace
your wiper blades once or twice a year if nec­
essary . See yo ur authorized Aud i dealer for re­
placement blades.
A WARNING
- Clean your wiper blades regu larly with a
windshie ld washer so lution to prevent
streaking. If the w iper blades are very
d irty, fo r example with insects, ca refully
clean the wiper blades with a sponge or a
s oft br ush.
- For your safety, yo u should rep lace the
w iper b lades once o r twice a yea r. See
your author ized Audi dealer for repla ce­
ment b lades .
(D Note
-The windshie ld w iper blades m ust only
be replaced when in the service pos ition

The speed warning system has two warning
thresholds
that function independently of
each other and that have somewhat different
purposes:
Speed warning 1
You can use speed warn ing 1 to set the maxi­
mum speed while you are driving. This setting
will remain in effect until you turn
off the igni ­
tion, assuming that you have not changed or
reset the setting.
The speed warning symbo l
(mj (USA models)/
(SJ (Canada models) in the warning 1 display
appears when you exceed the maximum
speed.
It goes out when the speed falls below
the stored max imum speed.
The speed warning symbo l wi ll also go out if
the speed exceeds the stored maximum speed
by more than about 2S mph (40 km/h) for at
least 10 seconds. The stored maximum speed
is deleted.
Setting speed warning l <=:> page
75.
Speed warning 2
Stor ing warn ing 2 is recommended if you al­
ways want to be reminded of a certa in speed,
for example when you are traveling in a coun­
try that has a general maximum speed limit,
or if you do not want to exceed a spec ified
speed for winter tires.
The speed warning 2 symbol,
(zj els)/
(•j (Canada models) appears in the dis­
p lay when you exceed the stored speed lim it.
Unlike warning 1, it will not go out until the
vehicle speed drops below the stored speed limit .
Sett ing speed warning 2 <=:>page 76.
@ Tips
Even though your vehicle is equipped with
a speed wa rning system, you should sti ll
watch the speedometer to make sure you
are not driving faster than the speed lim it.

the exhaust system and this could cause
the catalytic converter to overheat.
- Do not turn off the ignition while the ve ­
hicle is moving .
- Do not con tinue to operate yo ur vehicle
under these conditions, as otherwise fuel
can reach the cata lytic converter . This
could result in overheating of the con­
verter, requ iring its replacement.
- To assure efficient operation of the Emis­
sion Control System:
- Have your veh icle ma inta ined properly
and in acco rdance with the service rec­
ommendations in your Wa rranty
&
Ma intenan ce booklet.
- Lac k of proper maintenance as well as
improper use of the vehicle will impa ir
t he funct ion of the emission control
system and cou ld lead to damage.
@ For the sake of the environment
Even when the Emission Contro l System is
operating p roperly, the exhaus t gas can
have a s ulfu r- like exhaust gas smell under
some operating states. This depends on
the s ulfur content o f the fue l being used.
Using a different brand of fuel may help,
or filling the tank w ith lead-free super
grade gasoline .
Operate your vehicle
economically and
minimize pollution
General
Your personal style of driving will determine
the economy of your vehicle, as well as ex­
haust and noise levels .
Fuel economy, environmental impact, and
wear on your engine, brakes and t ires largely
depend on three factors :
- your persona l driving style
- operating conditions
- technical lim itations
I f you anticipate w hat you need to do nex t and
d rive economically, you can eas ily cut your
Dri vin g and en vironm ent 161
fuel consumption by 10 -15 percent. Th is sec ­
tion w ill give yo u some tips on how you can
help the env ironment and your pocketbook .
(D Tips
The cons umption estimates as published
by ENVIRONME NTAL PROTEC TION AGENCY
(EPA) and Transport Canada may not corre­
spond to your actual consumption on the road, which will vary depending upon vehi­
cle load and speed, road and weather con­
dit ions, trip length, etc.
Drive smoothly and keep a lookout
ahead
Vehicles use the most fuel when they are ac­
celerating.
Avoid unnecessary accelerat ing and braking .
Vehicles use the most fuel when they are ac­
ce lerat ing . If you anticipate what is going to
happe n next, you will need to brake less and,
th us, accele rate less. Let the vehicle coast
whenever possible -for examp le when you see
that the next t raff ic light is red.
Avoid full throttle
Driving at moderate speeds saves fuel and
improves your mileage.
"' Try and keep well below your car's maxi -
mum speed.
Acce lerat ing gently reduces fue l consump­
tion, eng ine wear, and does not disturb the
environment.
Fuel consumpt ion, exhaust emiss ions and en­
gine noise increase disproportionately at high
speeds. If you drive at approximately three
quarte rs of top speed, fuel consumption w il l
be reduced by one half. Never drive faster
t h an the posted speed limit and weathe r con­
ditions perm it.

snow c hains are suitably cove red . Check
the position of the snow chains after
driving a few yards and correct if neces­
sary. Follow the instructions from the
snow cha in manufacturer when doing so.
Where snow cha ins are mandatory oncer­
tain roads, this normally also applies to
veh icles with all-wheel dr ive.
Wheel bolts
Wheel bolts must always be tightened to the
correct torque.
The design of whee l bolts is matched to the
factory insta lled r ims . If different rims are fit­
ted, the correct wheel bo lts with the right
length and correctly shaped bolt heads must
be used. This ensures t hat wheels are fitted
securely and that the brake system functions
correctly .
In certain circumstances, you may not use
wheel bo lts from a different vehicle -even if it
i s the same model
¢ page 245.
A WARNING
Imprope rly tig htened or maintained wh eel
bolts can become loose ca using loss of
con trol, a collision and serious person al in­
jury.
- Always keep the w heel bolts and the
threads in the wheel hubs clea n so the
wheel bolts can tu rn easily and be p rop ­
er ly tightened .
- Never grease or oil the wheel bo lts and
the threads in the wheel hubs. They can become loose w hile d riving if greased or
o iled, even if tig htened to the specif ied
torque.
- Only use whee l bolts that belong to the
rim being installed.
- Never use different whee ls bolts on your
vehicle.
- Always maintai n the co rrect tig htening
torq ue fo r the wheel bo lts to reduce the
risk of a wheel loss. If the tightening tor-
Tire s an d wheel s 213
que of t he whee l bolts is too low, they
can loosen and come out when the vehi­
cle is mov ing. If the tig htening torq ue is
too high, the wheel bolts and threads
can be damaged and the whee l can be­
come loose.
(D Note
The specified torque for the whee l bolts is
90 ft lb (120 Nm) with a tolerance of± 7,4
ft lb(± 10 Nm). Torq ue whee l bolts diago­
nally. After changing a whee l, the tor que
must be checked as soon as possible with a
torq ue w rench -prefe rably by an au thor­
iz ed A udi de aler or qu alified workshop .
Low aspect ratio tires
Your Audi is factory -eq uipped w ith low aspect
r atio tires . These tires have been tho roughly
tested and been se lected specifically for your
model for their superb performance, road fee l
and handli ng under a var iety of driving condi­
tions . Ask your authorized Audi dealer for
more d etails.
The low aspect ratio of these t ires is ind icated
by a numeral of
55 or less in the tire's s ize
designation . The numeral represents the ratio
of the t ire's sidewa ll height in relation to its
t read width exp ressed in pe rce ntage. Conven­
t iona l tires have a he ight/w idth rat io of 60 or
more.
The performanc e of low-a spect-ratio tire s is
particularly sensitive to impr oper inflation
pre ssure .
It is therefore important that low
a spect ratio tire s are inflated to the specified
pres sure and that the inflation pressure is
regularly checked and maintained. Tire pre s­
sures should be checked at least once a month and always befo re a long trip

What you can do to avoid tire and rim
damage
Low aspect ratio tires can be damaged mo re
easily by impact w it h potholes, curbs, gul lies ..,.
