CD CAUTION
- When you have stopped on a gradient, do
not try to stop the vehicle rolling back by ac­
celerating when a gear is engaged. This
could cause the automatic gearbox to over­
heat and become damaged. Apply the park­
ing brake or press the brake pedal in order
to prevent the vehicle from rolling back.
- If you allow the car to roll with the selector
lever in position N with the engine switched
off, the automatic gearbox will be damaged
as it will not be lubricated.
- In certain driving and traffic conditions, for
instance in stop-and-go traffic, if you have
to pull away frequently or if the vehicle
creeps forwards over a long distance, the
gearbox can overheat and become dam­
aged. If the warning lamp. lights up,
stop the vehicle at the first opportunity and
let the gearbox cool down ¢ page 77.

(1) Note
For safety reasons the parking brake will only
release automatically if the driver's seat belt
is engaged in its buckle.
Downhill speed control
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
The downhill speed control function helps the
driver when driving down steep gradients.
Downhill speed control is activated on a downhill
gradient when the selector lever is in 0/5 and the
driver presses the brake pedal. The gearbox auto­
matically selects a suitable gear for the gradient.
74 The
downhill speed control function attempts to
maintain the speed at which the vehicle was trav­
elling when the foot brake was applied (subject
to the laws of physics and technical limitations of
the power train). It may be necessary to adjust
the speed again using the foot brake. The down­
hill speed control can change down to 3rd gear
but no further, so it may be necessary to change
to tiptronic mode on very steep gradients. In this
case, change down manually to 2nd or 1st gear in
tiptronic mode to use the engine braking effect
and reduce the load on the brakes.
Downhill speed control is deactivated as soon as
the road levels out again or you press the acceler­
ator pedal.
On vehicles with cruise control system*
¢ page 80, downhill speed control is activated
when you set a cruising speed.
& WARNING
The downhill speed control function cannot
defy the laws of physics and may therefore
not be able to maintain a constant speed in
certain circumsta nces. Always be prepared to
use the brakes! -

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!

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Before

What factors can impair your safety?
Safety on the road is directly related to how you
drive, and can also be affected by the passengers
in the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for the safety of the ve­
hicle and all its occupants. If your ability to drive
is impaired in any way, you endanger yourself and
other road users ¢& . Therefore:
.,. Do not let yourself be distracted by passengers
or by using a mobile phone, etc.
.,. Never drive when your driving ability is im­
paired (by medication, alcohol, drugs, etc.).
.,. Obey all traffic regulations and speed limits
and always maintain a safe distance to the vehi-
� de
in front.
� .,.
Always adjust your speed to suit the road, traf-
� fie
and weather conditions.

.. 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

back, the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the belt webbing
or an incorrect sitting position.
Correct position for rear passengers
Rear seat passengers should sit upright with
both feet on the floor and wear their seat belts
properly whenever the vehicle is moving.
To reduce any risk of injury in the event of sudden
braking or an accident, passengers in the rear
seats must observe the following:
• Keep both feet in the footwell in front of the
rear seat.
• Fasten the seat belt correctly¢ page 207.
• Use appropriate child restraint systems for chil­
dren travelling in the vehicle ¢page 195.
A WARNING
Rear passengers sitting out of position can
suffer severe injuries.
- Seat belts only offer maximum protection
when the backrest is in an upright position
and the passengers are wearing the seat
belts properly. By not sitting upright, rear
passengers increase the risk of injury due to
incorrect positioning of the seat belt web­
bing.
Examples of incorrect seating positions -
Occupants can suffer severe or fatal injuries if
they sit in an incorrect position while the vehicle
is moving.
Seat belts can only provide maximum protection
if the belt webbing is positioned correctly. Sitting
out of position greatly reduces the effectiveness
of the seat belts and increases the risk of injury
since the belt webbing is not worn in the position
for which it is designed. The driver is responsible
for the safety of all vehicle occupants, especially
for children.
• Never allow anyone to sit out of position while
the vehicle is moving ¢,&. . Safe
driving
The following List shows just some examples of
incorrect sitting positions which can be danger­
ous to all occupants. The List is not complete, but
will help to make you aware of possible dangers
which can be avoided.
Therefore, whenever the vehicle is moving:
- Never stand up in the vehicle.
- Never stand on the seats.
- Never kneel on the seats.
- Never travel with the backrest reclined too far.
- Never lean against the dash panel.
- Never Lie down on the rear seat.
- Never sit on the front edge of a seat.
- Never sit sideways.
- Never lean out of the window.
- Never put your feet out of the window.
- Never put your feet on the dash panel.
- Never put your feet on the seat cushion.
- Never ride in the footwell.
- Never travel on a seat without wearing the seat
belt.
- Never climb into the luggage compartment.
A WARNING
Sitting out of position increases the risk of se­
vere injuries.
- Sitting out of position exposes the occu­
pants to potentially fatal injuries: if the air­
bags inflate they can strike any occupant
who is not in one of the designed seat posi­
tions.
- Before starting a trip, sit in the correct posi­
tion and stay in this position as Long as the
vehicle is moving. Before every trip, make
sure all passengers are sitting in the correct
positions and remain correctly seated at all
times ¢page 46, Seats and storage.
Child seats
Safety notes for using child seats
To reduce the risk of injury in the event of an ac­
cident J children
must always use child restraint
systems when travelling in the car.
Please note the information in this Owner's Man­
ual when installing and using child seats. Follow
.,..

driving
the manufacturer's instructions and observe any
statutory requirements.
For safety reasons, we recommend that child
seats be installed on the rear seats. You should
only use a child seat on the front passenger seat
in exceptional circumstances.
A WARNING
To avoid serious or fatal injury, children travel­
ling in the vehicle must always be protected
with child restraint systems appropriate to
their height, weight and age.
- Children under 1.45 m tall or younger than
12 must not travel in the vehicle if there are
no suitable child seats. Please observe any
other applicable regulations in the country
in which you are travelling.
- Babies and children must never travel on an­
other occupant's lap.
- Never allow more than one child to occupy
one child seat.
- Never leave a child without supervision in a
child seat.
- Never allow a child to travel unrestrained or
to stand up or kneel on a seat while the car
is moving. In an accident, the child could be
catapulted through the car, causing possibly
fatal injuries to itself and other occupants.
- To ensure proper protection by the child re­
straint, it is important to wear the seat belts
in the correct position ¢ page 206. Always
check that the belt is properly positioned ac­
cording to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child seat. Incorrectly
worn seat belts can give rise to injuries even
in a minor collision.
- If children are out of position when the car
is moving, they are at greater risk of injury
during a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an
accident. This is particularly the case if the
child is travelling on the front passenger's
seat and the airbag system is triggered in an
accident. This incorrect sitting position can
result in serious or even fatal injury.
- If you are using a child seat on the front
passenger seat in which the child faces the
196 direction
of travel, you should move the
front passenger seat as far back as possible.
- Child seats in which the child faces the rear
of the car are located directly in the path of
the front passenger's airbag if it inflates. In
this case, the child could sustain serious or
fatal injuries if the airbag were to be de­
ployed.
- Applies to vehicles on which the front pas­
senger's airbag cannot be deactivated: Do
NOT use a rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat.
- Applies to vehicles with key-operated
switch for deactivating the front passeng­
er's airbag: Do NOT use a rearward-facing
child seat on the front passenger's seat
while the front passenger's airbag is ac­
tive. If you have no alternative but to use a
rearward-facing child seat on the front
passenger's seat, the front passenger's
airbag must be deactivated beforehand via
the key-operated switch* ¢ page 211.
Make sure that the front passenger's air­
bag is reactivated by means of the key-op­
erated switch* as soon as the child seat is
no longer needed on the front passenger's
seat.
- Always replace the child seat with a new one
after an accident as damage not externally
visible may have occurred.
Child safety and side airbags

bag were to inflate in an accident, it could strike
the child on the head and cause serious injury.
A WARNING
- To avoid injury, the child's head must always
be well away from the opening for the side
airbag.
- Do not leave or place any objects in the area
of inflation for the side airbag -risk of in­
jury!
Child seat categories
Only use child restraint systems that are official­
ly approved and suitable for the child.
0/0+ 1
Fig. 174 Child seat categories
Child restraint systems are covered by the Euro­
pean standard ECE-R 44. An orange label is usu­
ally attached to child seats which have been tes­
ted in accordance with this standard. Informa­
tion on weight categories, ISOFIX size class and
the approval category of the child seat can be
found on this label.
Child seats are divided into five weight catego­
ries:
Child seats: categories O and O+
Rearward-facing carry cots are most appropriate
for these categories (up to 13 kg). Our recom­
mendation: Audi carry cot with optional ISOFIX
base.
Child seats: category 1
In this category (9 to 18 kg), rearward or for­
ward-facing child seats with an integrated seat Safe
driving
belt system are most appropriate. Rearward-fac­
ing child seats should be used for as long as safe­
ly possible. Our recommendation: Audi child seat
with ISOFIX base.
Child seats: categories 2 and 3
Child seats with backrests used in conjunction
with seat belts are most appropriate for these
categories (15 to 36 kg). Our recommendation:
Audi child seat "youngster plus".
A WARNING
- Categories 0, O+ and 1 (rearward-facing):
Never install a rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat unless the front
passenger's airbag has been deactivated -
this can result in potentially fatal injuries to
the child. If you have no alternative but to
let a child travel on the front passenger's
seat, the front passenger's airbag must be
deactivated* beforehand c:> page 211.
- Categories 1 (forward-facing), 2 and 3: The
back of the child seat should be flush with
the backrest of the vehicle seat.
- Categories 2 and 3: The shoulder section of
the belt must be fitted across the centre of
the child's collar bone close to the torso. It
must never run against or across the neck.
The lap belt must be worn tightly across the
hips, and not over the stomach or abdomen.
Pull the belt tight if necessary to take up
any slack.
