Start/stop system
Description
Applies to vehicles: with start/stop system
The start/stop system can help to save fuel and
reduce CO2 emissions. Driving
In start/stop mode, the engine is switched off
automatically when the vehicle stops, e.g. at traf­
fic lights. The ignition remains on during this
stop phase. The engine is automatically started
on demand.
The start/stop system is automatically activated
each time you switch on the ignition.
Basic conditions for start/stop mode
- The driver's door must be closed.
- The driver's seat belt must be buckled.
- The bonnet must be closed.
- The vehicle must have been moving at over
4 km/h since the last stop .
.&, WARNING
- Never switch off the engine until the vehicle
is stationary . Otherwise you may not have
the full benefit of the brake servo and power
steering. You may need more strength to
steer and brake the vehicle than you nor­
mally would. This would mean a greater risk
of accidents and serious injury, because you
cannot steer and brake in the normal man­
ner.
-Always take the key with you when leaving
the vehicle -even if you only intend to be
gone for a short time. This is especially im­
portant if children are left in the car. They
might otherwise be able to start the engine
or use power-operated equipment such as
the electric windows -this could lead to in­
juries.
- To avoid injury, make sure that the start/
stop system is switched off before working
in the engine compartment ¢ page 65.
CD CAUTION
Always switch off the start/stop system
¢page 65 before driving through water.

next gear at lower engine speeds. Earlier up­
shifts give improved fuel economy because the
full power reserves of the engine are not used.
In this mode, Eis shown on the display instead of
D ¢Fig. 76.
A WARNING
- The car can roll away even if the ignition is
switched off.
- Never move the selector lever to R or P
when driving, as this could cause an acci­
dent.
- In all selector lever positions except P the
vehicle must always be held with the foot
brake when the engine is running. This is be­
cause an automatic gearbox still transmits
power even at idling speed, and the vehicle
tends to "creep" -risk of accident!
- The accelerator pedal must on no account
be pressed inadvertently when a gear is en­
gaged with the vehicle stationary . The vehi­
cle could otherwise start moving immedi­
ately (in some cases even if the parking
brake is engaged) and possibly cause an ac­
cident.
- Do not press the accelerator while selecting
a gear with the vehicle stationary and the
engine running, as this could cause an acci­
dent.
- The driver should never get out of the vehi­
cle when the engine is running and a gear is
engaged. If you have to leave your vehicle
while the engine is running, you must apply
the parking brake and engage the parking
lock P.
- To avoid accidents, apply the parking brake
and put the selector lever in position P be­
fore opening the bonnet and working on the
vehicle with the engine running. Please ob­
serve the important safety warnings
¢ page 220, Working on components in
the engine compartment.
((D) Note
- Drive select: You can select the sport pro­
gram for gear changes by activating the dy- Automatic
gearbox
namic mode. The infotainment display will
show S instead of D.
- If the lever is moved accidentally to N when
driving, take your foot off the accelerator
and let the engine speed drop to idling be­
fore selecting Dor S again.
- It is not possible to move the selector lever
out of position P if the electrical power sup­
ply fails. In this case, the selector lever can
be released manually. Left-hand drive
vehicles ¢ page 78, right-hand drive
vehicles ¢ page 79.
Selector lever lock
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
The selector Lever Lock prevents gears from being
engaged inadvertently, so that the vehicle is not
set in motion unintentionally.

Fastening rings
Unsecured loads are a hazard to all vehicle occu­
pants.
Fig. 180 Location of fastening rings in luggage compart­
ment
.,. Use the fastening rings to secure items safely in
the luggage compartment ¢ A in Luggage
compartment on page 201.
During a collision or an accident, even small and
light objects can possess so much energy that
they can cause very severe injuries. The amount
of this "kinetic energy" depends on the speed of
the vehicle and the weight of the object. The
most significant factor, however, is the speed of
the vehicle.
For example: an object weighing 4.5 kg is lying
unsecured in the vehicle. During a frontal colli­
sion at a speed of SO km/h, this object generates
a force corresponding to 20 times its weight.
That means that the effective weight of the ob­
ject increases to about 90 kg. You can imagine
the severity of the injuries which might be sus­
tained if this "projectile" strikes an occupant as it
flies through the passenger compartment.
A WARNING
If items of luggage or other objects are se­
cured to the fastening rings with inappropri­
ate or damaged tensioning straps, injuries
could result in the event of sudden braking or
a collision.
- To prevent pieces of luggage or other ob­
jects from flying forward, always use appro­
priate tensioning straps which are properly
secured to the fastening rings.
202 -
Never secure a child seat on the fastening
rings.
Pedestrian protection
system
Description
Applies to vehicles: with pedestrian protection system
The pedestrian protection system will automati­
cally be activated when the front of the vehicle
collides with a pedestrian. The bonnet is raised
several centimetres to create an additional crush
zone above the engine.
The sensors of the pedestrian protection system
are located in the front bumper. In rare cases, the
system can be triggered because the possibility
that a pedestrian has been hit cannot be ruled
out by the sensors, for example:
- in a coll ision with a street post,
- in a collision with an animal, or
- if you drive into a pile of snow, or
- in the event of ground contact, e.g. when driv-
ing on extremely poor road surfaces.
If the system has been activated, press the bon­
net back into its original position¢&. in Servic­
ing the pedestrian protection system on
page 203 and have the system serviced by a
qualified workshop.
.&_ WARNING
- Never change or replace the bumper or bon­
net as a part of tuning measures. This can
impair the effectiveness of the pedestrian
protection system and invalidate the operat­
ing permit for your vehicle. The manufactur­
er cannot be held liable for damage which
occurs as a result of failure to comply with
these stipulations, and such damage is not
covered under warranty.
- False activation of the pedestrian protection
system is possible.

Care of vehicle and
cleaning
General notes
Regular and careful care helps to maintain the
value of the vehicle. This may also be one of the
requirements for upholding any warranty claims
in the event of corrosion or paint defects.
The required car care products are available from
Audi dealers or specialist retailers. Please follow
the instructions for use on the packaging.
A WARNING
- Cleaning products and other materials used
for car care can damage health if misused.
- Car care products can contain toxic substan­
ces and must always be kept in a safe place
out of reach of children.
®, For the sake of the environment
- Please choose care products that are not
harmful to the environment.
- Surplus cleaning materials should not be
disposed of together with ordinary house­
hold waste.
Washing the vehicle
The longer residues are allowed to remain on the
vehicle, the more damage they can do to the
paintwork. High temperatures (for instance in di­
rect sunlight) further intensify the damage.
Before washing, soak heavy dirt with plenty of
water.
Stubborn dirt, such as bird droppings or resinous
tree sap, is best removed with plenty of water
and a micro-fibre cloth.
After the period when salt is put on the roads,
have the underside of the vehicle washed thor­
oughly.
High-pressure cleaners
When cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure
cleaner, always follow the operating instructions
for the equipment. This applies particularly to
236 the
operating pressure and the spraying distance.
Do not point the spray jet directly at the seals on
the windows, doors, bonnet or boot lid, or at the
tyres, rubber hoses, insulating material or sen­
sors*. Maintain a distance of at least 40 cm.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to remove
snow and ice.
Never use high-pressure cleaners with a round-jet
nozzle or "dirt blasters".
The water must not be hotter than 60 °C.
Automatic car washes
Spray the vehicle with water before washing.
Ensure that the windows are closed and that the
windscreen wipers are switched off. Follow the
car wash operator's rules and recommendations,
especially if any accessories are attached to your
vehicle.
If possible use a brush less car wash.
Washing by hand
Clean the car with a soft sponge or brush, start­
ing on the roof and working down. Use solvent­
free cleaning agents.
Washing matt-painted vehicles by hand
To avoid damaging the paintwork when washing
the car, first remove any dust, sand and grit. In­
sects, grease stains and fingerprints are best re­
moved using a special cleaning agent for matt­
painted surfaces.
Apply the product with a micro-fibre cloth. Do
not apply too much pressure to avoid damaging
the paintwork.
Rinse the car thoroughly with water. Then clean
the car with a neutral shampoo and a soft micro­
fibre cloth.
Rinse the car with lots of water again and then
let it dry in the air. Remove any water stains with
a chamois.
