power management
While the vehicle is moving, this function distrib
utes the available power to the various electrical
components and systems according to their re
quirements. The power management ensures
that on-board systems do not consume more
electrical power than the alternator can supply,
and thus maintains the maximum possible bat
tery power Level.
ijJ Note
- The power management system is not able
to overcome the given physical Limits.
Please remember that the power and Life of
the battery are Limited.
- If the indicator Lamp ril c:> page 13 appears,
the starting ability may be impaired.
Points to remember
Starting ability has first priority.
Short trips, city traffic and Low temperatures all
place a heavy Load on the battery . In these condi
tions a Large amount of power is consumed, but
only a small amount is supplied. The situation is
also critical if electrical equipment is in use when
the engine is not running. In this case power is
consumed when none is being generated.
In these situations you will be aware that the
power management system is intervening to con
trol the distribution of electrical power.
When the vehicle is parked for long periods
If you do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are
using. This Limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
Long period. Certain convenience features, such
as remote control unlocking, may not be availa
ble. These functions will be restored when you
switch on the ignition and start the engine. Intelligent
technology
With the engine switched off
If you Listen to the radio or use other electrical
equipment when the engine is not running, this
will discharge the battery.
A message will appear on the infotainment dis
play before the battery power drops to a Level
where the starting ability is impaired.
This message warns you that the system you are
using will soon be switched off automatically.
You should therefore start the engine if you wish
to continue using the system.
When the engine is running
Although the alternator generates electrical pow
er, the battery can still become discharged while
the vehicle is being driven. This can occur when a
Lot of power is being consumed but only a small
amount supplied, especially if the battery is not
fully charged initially.
To restore the necessary energy balance, the sys
tem will then temporarily shut off the electrical
components that are using a Lot of power, or re
duce the current they are consuming. Heating
systems in particular use a Large amount of elec
trical power. If you notice, for instance, that the
seat heating* or the rear window heater is not
working, they may have been temporarily switch
ed off or regulated to a Lower heat output. These
systems will be available again as soon as suffi
cient electrical power is available.
You may also notice that the engine runs at a
slightly faster idling speed. This is quite normal,
and no cause for concern. The increased idling
speed allows the alternator to meet the greater
power requirement and charge the battery at the
same time.
Information saved in the
control units
The vehicle is fitted in the factory with electronic
control units that, among other things, control
the engine and the gearbox. The control units al
so monitor the exhaust system and the airbags.
The control units continually analyse data rele-
vant to the vehicle while you are driving. In the

technology
event of faults or anomalies in the vehicle data,
only these data are saved. As a rule, faults are
shown by the warning lamps in the instrument
cluster.
Data saved in the control units can only be read
and analysed with special equipment.
A qualified workshop is only able to recognise
and deal with faults by using the relevant saved
data. Among other things, the saved data may
contain the following information:
- Data relating to the engine and the gearbox
-Speed
- Dire ction of travel
- Braking force
- Seat belt warning system data
The control
units
installed will not under any cir
cumstances record conversations in the vehicle.
On vehicles with an automatic SOS dial system
via a mobile phone or another connected device,
the current location of the vehicle can be trans
mitted. In accidents where the control units reg
ister that airbags have been triggered, a signal
can automatically be sent by the system. This de
pends on the service provider. The signal can only
be sent in areas with sufficient mobile phone cov
erage.
Event data recorder
Your vehicle is not equipped with an event data
recorder.
In an event data recorder, information about the
vehicle is temporarily saved. In the event of an
accident, you can therefore obtain detailed infor
mation about the course of events. On vehicles
with an airbag system, accident-related data such
as impact speed, seat belt status, seat positions
and trigger times can be saved. The exact infor
mation saved depends on the manufacturer.
The installation of an event data recorder is sub
ject to the agreement of the vehicle's owner. This
process is governed by legislation in some coun
tries.
108 Reprogram
ming control units
All data for controlling components are saved in
the control units. Some convenience features,
such as one-touch signalling, single door unlock
ing and display messages can be reprogrammed
using special workshop equipment. If any con
venience features are reprogrammed, the infor
mation in this Owner's Manual will no longer be
accurate for the features that have been
changed. We recommend having the reprogram
ming confirmed by an Audi workshop in the
"Workshop remarks" section of your Service
Schedule.
Your Audi dealer will be able to provide you with
information about possible reprogramming op
tions.
Event memory
There is a diagnostic connection for reading out
the event memory located in the footwell on the
driver's side of the vehicle. Information regarding
the operation and status of the vehicle's elec
tronic control units is stored in the event memo
ry. The event memory should only be read out
and erased by a qualified workshop.
A WARNING
The diagnostic connection must not be used
for other purposes. Incorrect use can cause
malfunctions -risk of accident!

General notes
Safety is the first priority
Your safety is our first priority.
This chapter contains important information,
tips, suggestions and warnings that you should
read and observe for your own safety and the
safety of your passengers.
_&. WARNING
- The information in this chapter is important
for the driver of the vehicle and all passen
gers. The other chapters in this manual
(and, where applicable, in the other litera
ture supplied with the vehicle) contain fur
ther important notes which you should read
and observe for your own safety and that of
your passengers.
- Ensure that the complete vehicle wallet is
always in the vehicle. This is especially im
portant when you lend or sell the vehicle to
others.
Notes on traffic safety
You should only use certain infotainment system
functions, e.g. enter a navigation destination,
while the vehicle is stationary. Always be pre
pared to stop operating the infotainment system
in the interest of your own safety and that of oth
er road users.
_&. WARNING
- To day's driving conditions require your full
attention. As the driver, you have full re
sponsibility for the safety of the vehicle and
other road users. For this reason, only oper
ate the infotainment system when the traf
fic conditions allow you to do so safely and
when you can maintain proper control of
your vehicle - risk of accident!
- The volume of the audio sources (radio, CD
player, etc.) should only be set at a level
which enables you to hear distant police and
192 emergency
vehicles clearly-failure to do so
could result in an accident.
- Please observe the laws regulating the use
of telephones in vehicles.
Safety features
The safety features Listed here are part of the ve
hicle's occupant restraint system. They work to
gether to help reduce the risk of injury in a wide
variety of accident situations.
Your safety and the safety of your passengers
should not be left to chance. In the event of an
accident, the safety features incorporated in your
vehicle are capable of reducing the risk of injury.
These are just a few of the safety features in your
Audi:
- Seat belts for all seats
- Belt force limiters for all seats
- Belt tensioners for the front seats
- Front airbags
- Side airbags in the front seat backrests
- Head-protection airbags
- "ISO FIX" anchorages* for "ISO FIX" child seats
on the rear seats
-Adjustable steering column
These individual safety features are harmonised
to provide you and your passengers with the best
possible protection in accident situations. How
ever, they can only be effective if you and your
passengers sit in the correct position and adjust
and use the safety equipment properly.
For these reasons, this chapter explains why
these safety features are so important, how they
can protect you, what you need to remember
when using them, and how you and your passen
gers can gain the most benefit from them. There
are also a number of important safety warnings
which you and your passengers should always ob
serve in order to minimise the risk of injury.
Safety is everyone's responsibility!

driving
.. Adjust the longitudinal position of the steering
wheel so that your arms are slightly bent and
you can read the dials and instruments easily.
.. Make sure that you can comfortably reach the
top of the steering wheel.
.. Fasten
your seat belt correctly ¢ page 204 .
.. Keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in
full control of the vehicle at all times.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
driver's seat, see¢ page 46, Seats and storage.
A WARNING
A driver who is not sitting in the correct posi
tion or who is not wearing a seat belt can be
fatally injured if the airbag is triggered.
- Adjust the driver's seat and steering wheel
so there is a distance of at least 25 cm be
tween your breastbone and the centre of the
steering wheel¢ Fig. 172.
- While driving, always hold the steering
wheel with both hands on the outside of the
rim at about the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi
tion. This reduces the risk of injury if the
driver's airbag inflates.
- Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock position, or with your hands inside
the rim or on the steering wheel hub. This
could result in serious injuries to the arms,
hands and head if the driver's airbag in
flates.
- To reduce any risk of injury to the driver dur
ing a sudden brake application or in an acci
dent, never drive with the backrest tilted
too far back. The airbag system and seat
belts can only provide proper protection
when the backrest is in an upright position
and the driver is wearing the seat belt in the
correct position. The further the backrest is
tilted back, the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the belt webbing
or an incorrect sitting position.
194 Correct
position for the front passenger
The front seat passenger must sit at least 25 cm
away from the dash panel so that the airbag has
enough room to inflate and give maximum pro
tection in an accident.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of in
jury in the event of an accident, we recommend
adjusting the front passenger's seat as follows:
.. Adjust the backrest to an upright position so
that your back remains in contact with the up
holstery .
.. Keep both feet in the footwell in front of the
seat.
.. Fasten your seat belt correctly ¢ page 206.
In exceptional cases you can disable the front
passenger's airbag via the key-operated switch*
¢page 211.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
front passenger's seat, see ¢ page 46, Seats and
storage.
A WARNING
A passenger who is not sitting in the correct
position or who is not wearing a seat belt can
be fatally injured if the airbag is triggered.
- Adjust the front passenger's seat so there is
a distance of at least 25 cm between your
breastbone and the dash panel.
- Always keep your feet on the floor when the
vehicle is moving; never rest them on the in
strument panel, out of the window or on the
seat. If you sit in an incorrect position, you
increase your risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking or an accident. If the airbag
is triggered, you could sustain potentially
fatal injuries by sitting out of position.
- To reduce the risk of injury to the front pas
senger in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, the passenger should never travel
in a moving vehicle with the backrest re
clined. The airbag system and seat belt can
only provide proper protection when the
backrest is in an upright position and the
passenger is wearing the seat belt in the
correct position. The further the backrest is
