Note
- The parking brake can be applied at any
time -even when the ignition is switched
off. However, the ignition must be switched
on and the brake pedal pressed before the
parking brake can be released.
- The parking brake is applied automatically if
the driver's door is opened while the igni­
tion is on. This is to prevent the vehicle from
accidentally rolling away.
-Any slight noise which may be heard when
the parking brake is applied or released is
quite normal and no cause for concern.
- The parking brake runs an automatic test cy­
cle at regular intervals when the vehicle is
parked. This may cause a slight noise, which
is normal.
- If the warning lamp. appears, there may
be a parking brake malfunction ¢ page 11.
- If the electrical power supply fails, it is not
possible to release the parking brake (if it
was applied) or to apply the parking brake
(if it was released) ¢ .&.. Obtain professional
assistance.
Parking the car
.,. Press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a
stop.
.,. To apply the parking brake, pull the switch
¢ page 66, Fig. 74.
.,. Vehicles with automatic gearbox: Move these-
lector lever to position P.
.,. Switch off the engine ¢_&. .
.,. Manual gearbox: Engage first gear.
.,. When parking on a hill or gradient, turn the
steering wheel so that the vehicle would roll in­
to the kerb if it did start to move accidentally.
A WARNING
- Always take the key with you when leaving
your 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,
release the parking brake or use power-op- Driving
erated equipment such as the electric win­
dows -this could lead to injuries.
- Do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the vehicle when it is locked. Locked doors
could delay assistance in an emergency, po­
tentially putting lives at risk.

the parking brake automatically when you wish
to start moving.
Applying the parking brake when stopping
.,. To apply the parking brake, pull the switch
¢page 66, Fig. 74.
Releasing the parking brake when driving
away
Important: The driver's door must be closed and
the driver's seat belt must be buckled.
.,. Press the accelerator in the normal way: the
parking brake will be released automatically
and the vehicle will start moving.
You can apply the parking brake when stopping at
traffic lights, etc. You do not then have to hold
the car with the brake pedal, as the parking brake
will stop it creeping forward while a gear is en­
gaged in the automatic transmission. When you
drive off in the normal way, the parking brake will
be released automatically and the vehicle will
start moving.
Driving away on a slope
When driving away on a gradient, the parking
brake auto release function prevents the vehicle
from rolling back unintentionally. The braking
force of the parking brake is only released when
there is enough power at the wheels to make the
vehicle move in the desired direction.
@ Note
For safety reasons the parking brake will only
release automatically if the driver's seat belt
is engaged in its buckle and the driver's door
is closed .

Automatic gearbox
S tronic
Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
The vehicle is equipped with an electronically
controlled dual-clutch gearbox (S tronic). Torque
between the engine and the gearbox is transmit­
ted via two independent clutches. They enable
smooth, uninterrupted acceleration of the vehi­
cle.
The gearbox shifts up or down automatically and
continuously adapts the timing of the gear
changes to your driving style.
When you drive at moderate speeds the gearbox
will select the most economical shift programme.
It will then change up early and delay the down­
shifts to give better fuel economy.
If you drive at higher speeds with heavy accelera­
tion, if you open the throttle quickly, or if you use
the kick-down or the car's maximum speed, the
gearbox will automatically select the more "spor­
ty" shift programmes.
If desired, you can also select the gears manually
(tiptronic mode).
Selector lever positions
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
Fig. 76 Instrument cluster: Selector lever positions
The current selector lever position and the cur­
rent gear are shown in the infotainment display.
P - Parking lock
When the selector lever is in this position, the
driven wheels are locked mechanically. The park-
70 ing
lock must only be engaged when the vehicle
is stationary ¢.&. .
The interlock button (the button in the selector
lever handle) must be pressed in and the brake
pedal must be depressed before moving these­
lector lever either in or out of position P.
R - Reverse gear
Reverse gear must only be engaged when the ve­
hicle is stationary and the engine is idling ¢.&..
To move the selector lever to position R, press in
the interlock button and at the same time press
the brake pedal. The reversing light comes on
when the selector lever is in the R position with
the ignition on.
N - Neutral
In this position, the gearbox is in neutral.
DIS -Drive/Sport (standard position for
driving forwards)
In selector lever position D/S, the gearbox can be
operated in either the standard drive mode (D) or
in sport mode (S). To select sport mode (S), brief­
ly pull the selector lever back. The gearbox will
switch back to drive mode (D) if you pull these­
lector lever again. The selected driving mode is
shown on the infotainment display.
In the standard drive mode (D), the gearbox au­
tomatically selects the best gear ratio. This de­
pends on the engine load, the road speed and the
driving style.
Select sport mode (S) if you wish to take full ad­
vantage of the car's performance. This setting
makes use of the engine's maximum power out­
put. When accelerating the gear shifts may be
noticeable.
Press the brake pedal when moving the selector
lever from N to D/S if the vehicle is stationary or
at speeds below 2 km/h ¢ .&..
E - Efficiency*
In efficiency mode ¢ page 90, Audi drive select
(vehicle set-up functions), the gearbox selects ..,.

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

The selector lever lock only works if the vehicle is
stationary or driving at speeds up to 2 km/h. At
higher speeds the selector lever lock in the N po­
sition is disengaged automatically.
The selector lever lock is not engaged if the selec­
tor lever is moved quickly through position N
(e.g. when shifting from R to D). This makes it
possible, for instance, to "rock" the vehicle back­
wards and forwards if it is stuck in snow or mud.
The selector lever lock engages automatically if
the brake pedal is not depressed and the lever is
in position N for more than about two seconds.
Interlock button
The interlock button on the selector lever handle
prevents the driver from inadvertently engaging
particular gears. The illustration shows the selec­
tor lever positions in which the button has to be
pressed, highlighted in colour¢ Fig. 77.
@ Note
- If the selector lever does not lock automati­
cally, a malfunction has occurred. In this
case, the power transmission is interrupted
to prevent the vehicle from moving uninten­
tionally. Proceed as follows to engage the
selector lever lock again:
- Press the brake pedal briefly.
- If the vehicle does not move forwards or
backwards even though a gear is selected,
proceed as follows:
- If the vehicle does not move in the desired
direction, the system may have failed to en­
gage the gear correctly. In this case, press
the brake pedal and select the gear again.
- If the vehicle still does not move in the de­
sired direction, a system malfunction has
occurred. Seek professional assistance and
have the system checked.

¢page 75.
On level ground it is sufficient to move the selec­
tor lever to P. On a gradient the parking brake
should be applied first and the selector lever
should be moved to P ¢ page 66. This reduces
the load on the locking mechanism and makes it
easier to move the selector lever out of position

_&. WARNING
- 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.
- If the engine is running and a gear is engag­
ed {D/S or R) or the vehicle is in "tiptronic"
mode, you will need to hold the car with the
footbrake. Otherwise, the car will "creep"
forwards as the power transmission is not
fully interrupted even when the engine is
idling.
- The accelerator pedal must on no account
be pressed inadvertently when the vehicle is
stationary . The vehicle could otherwise start
moving immediately (in some cases even if
the parking brake is engaged) and possibly
cause an accident.
- Do not press the accelerator while selecting
a gear with the vehicle stationary and the
engine running, as this could cause an acci­
dent.
- Never move the selector lever to R or P
when driving at normal speeds, as this could
cause an accident.
- Before you drive down a steep gradient, re­
duce the speed and use "tiptronic" to select
a low gear.
- Never allow the brake to drag when driving
downhill and do not use the brake pedal too
often or for long periods. Constant braking
will cause the brakes to overheat and will
considerably reduce the effectiveness of the
brakes. It will increase the braking distance
and could cause the brake system to fail.
- To avoid rolling back on gradients always
hold the vehicle with the footbrake or park­
ing brake if you have to stop.
- Never attempt to hold the vehicle with the
clutch when stopping on a gradient. The
clutch is disengaged automatically if it is
overloaded and becomes too hot -accident
risk! If the clutch is overloaded, the indica­
tor lamp [!l will light up and a message will
appear¢ page 77.
