Electro-mechanical
power steering
Electro-mechanical power steering assists the
driver when steering.
The degree of power assistance is adapted elec­
tronically, depending on the speed.
If the power steering should fail at any time or
the engine is switched off (for instance when be­
ing towed), the car can still be steered. However,
substantially more effort than normal will be re­
quired to turn the steering wheel.
Warning/indicator lamps and driver
messages
• Steering: fault. Please stop vehicle
If the warning lamp lights up permanently and
the message appears, there may be a power
steering failure.
Do NOT drive on. Obtain professional assistance.
• Steering: fault. Please stop vehicle
There is a malfunction in the electronic steering
lock. The ignition can no longer be switched on.
Do not have the vehicle towed away, because you
won't be able to steer it. Obtain professional as­
sistance.
G'!b Steering:
fault. You can continue driving
If the indicator lamp lights up, the steering re­
sponse may be heavier or lighter than usual. In
addition, it is possible that the steering wheel
will be off centre when driving in a straight line.
Drive slowly to a qualified workshop and have the
fault rectified.
Ive Steering
lock: fault. Please contact work­
shop

A WARNING
Have the system malfunction repaired by a
qualified workshop as soon as possible -risk
of accident!
«]} Note
You can drive on if the warning/indicator lamp
• or mJ lights up only briefly.
Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not give full braking effect for
the first 400 km, they must first be "bedded in".
However, you can compensate for the slightly re­
duced braking effect by applying more pressure
on the brake pedal. Avoid placing a heavy load on
the brakes during the running-in period.
Wear The rate of wear on the brake pads depends a
great deal on how you drive and the conditions in
which the vehicle is operated. Negative factors
are, for instance, city traffic, frequent short trips
or hard driving with abrupt starts and stops.
Noises Brake noise may develop in certain situations, de­
pending on the speed, braking force and ambient
conditions (such as temperature and relative hu­
midity).
Effect of moisture and salt
In certain conditions, such as in heavy rain, or af­
ter washing the car or driving through water, the
full braking effect can be delayed by moisture (or
in winter by ice) on the discs and brake pads. The
brakes should be "dried" by pressing the pedal to
restore full braking effect.
When you are driving at higher speeds with the
windscreen wipers on, the brake pads are very
briefly brought into contact with the brake discs.
This automatic process which goes unnoticed by
the driver is carried out at regular intervals and is
intended to improve braking response in wet con-
ditions. ..,..

the brake pedal and do not pump the brakes.
You will feel the brake pedal pulsate while the
anti-lock brake system is working.
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can shorten the braking
distance. The braking force is automatically boos­
ted if you press the brake pedal quickly in an
emergency. You must keep pressing the brake
pedal until the danger has passed.
Traction control system (ASR)
In the event of wheelspin, the traction control
system reduces the engine torque to match the
amount of grip available. This helps the car to
start moving, accelerate or climb a gradient.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
When the EDL detects wheelspin, it brakes the
spinning wheel and directs the power to the oth­
er driven wheel (or wheels on quattro* versions).
This function is not available at high speeds.
To prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
from overheating, the EDL cuts out automatically
if subjected to excessive loads. The vehicle can
still be driven. The EDL will switch on again auto­
matically when the brake has cooled down.
Steering recommendation
The ESC helps to stabilise the vehicle by changing
the steering wheel torque.
Selective wheel torque control
Selective wheel torque control intervenes when
cornering by braking the wheel(s) on the inside of
the bend individually as required. This enables
precision cornering. The relevant system may not
intervene in the wet or snow.
Multicollision brake assist system
The "multicollision brake assist system" can help
to reduce the risk of skidding and further colli­
sions during an accident. If the airbag control
unit detects that a collision has taken place up-
� wards
of a certain speed, the vehicle is braked by
a'.: the ESC.

.... Intelligent
technology
The vehicle will not be braked automatically if:
- the driver presses the accelerator,
- the brake pressure applied by pressing the
brake pedal is higher than the brake pressure
initiated by the system,
- or the ESC, the brake system or the vehicle's
electrical system are not fully functional.
A WARNING
- The grip provided by the ESC and the inte­
grated systems is still subject to the physi­
cal limits of adhesion. Always bear this in
mind, especially on wet or slippery roads. If
you notice the systems cutting in, you
should reduce your speed immediately to
suit the road and traffic conditions. Do not
let the extra safety provided tempt you into
taking any risks when driving -this can
cause accidents.
- Remember that the accident risk always in­
creases if you drive fast, especially in cor­
ners or on a wet or slippery road, or if you
follow too close behind the vehicle in front
of you. Please bear in mind that even the
ESC and the integrated systems cannot
compe nsate for the increased accident risk.
- When accelerating on a uniformly slippery
surface (for instance all four wheels on ice
or snow), press the accelerator gradually
and carefully. The driven wheels may other­
wise start to spin (in spite of the integrated
control systems), which would impair the
car's stability and could lead to an accident.
{D Note
- To ensure that the ABS and ASR systems
work properly, all four wheels must be fit­
ted with identical tyres. Any differences in
the rolling radius of the tyres can cause the
system to reduce engine power when this is
not desired.
- The systems can make noises when they in­
tervene.
- If the indicator lamp DJ orr§J appears,
there may be a malfunction ¢ page 14. -

.... Four-wheel
drive
(quattro)
Applies to vehicles: with four-wheel drive
On quattro models the engine power is distrib­
uted to all four wheels.
General notes
On four-wheel drive vehicles, the engine power is
distributed to all four wheels. The distribution of
power is controlled automatically according to
your driving style and the road conditions. Also
refer to ¢ page 102, Electronic stabilisation con­
trol (£SC).
The four-wheel drive is specially designed to
complement the superior engine power of your
Audi. This combination gives the car exceptional
handling and performance capabilities -both on
normal roads and in more difficult conditions,
such as snow and ice. Even so (or perhaps espe­
cially for this reason), it is important to observe
certain safety points¢.&,..
Winter tyres
Thanks to its four-wheel drive, your car will have
plenty of traction in winter conditions, even with
the standard tyres. Nevertheless, we still recom­
mend that winter tyres or all-season tyres should
be fitted on all four wheels when winter road
conditions are expected, mainly because this will
give a better braking response.
Snow chains
On roads where snow chains are mandatory, this
also applies to cars with four-wheel drive
¢ page 234, Snow chains.
Replacing tyres On vehicles with four-wheel drive, all four tyres
must have the same rolling circumference. Also
avoid using tyres with varying tread depths
¢ page 231, New wheels or tyres.
Off-road er?
Your Audi does not have enough ground clear­
ance to be used as an off-road vehicle. It is there­
fore best to avoid rough tracks and uneven ter­
rain as much as possible. Intelligent
technology
_&. WARNING
- Even with four-wheel drive, you should al­
ways adjust your speed to suit the condi­
tions. Do not let the extra safety provided
tempt you into taking any risks when driving
- this can cause accidents.
- The braking ability of your car is limited by
the grip of the tyres. In this respect, your
car is no different from a car without four­
wheel drive. So do not be tempted to drive
too fast on icy or slippery roads just because
the car still has good acceleration in these
conditions -risk of accident!
- On wet roads bear in mind that the front
wheels may start to "aquaplane" and lose
contact with the road if the car is driven too
fast. If this should happen, there will be no
sudden increase in engine speed to warn the
driver, as with a front-wheel drive car. So do
not drive too fast in the wet: adjust your
speed to suit the conditions (accident risk).
Rear spoiler
Applies to vehicles: with automatic rear spoiler
The automatic rear spoiler increases the car's
stability.

The rear spoiler can be extended or retracted
manually or automatically.
Automatic mode (normal operation)
- Automatic extension: The rear spoiler is auto­
matically extended at road speeds above ap-
proximately 120 km/h.

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
