A WARNING
- The parking aid cannot replace the driver's
attention. The dr iver alone is responsib le for
parking and s imilar driving maneuvers.
- Always keep your eyes on the veh icle's sur­
roundings, us ing the rear view m irror as
well.
- Do not a llow yourself to be distracted from
traff ic by the rear view camera pictures.
- If the posit ion and the installation ang le of
the camera has changed, for example, after
a rear end collision, do not continue to use
the system for safety reasons. Have it
checked by a qualified dealership.
(D Note
- Low obstacles already signaled by a warning
can d isappear from the system's detection
range as they are approached and will not
continue to be signa led. Objects such as
barrier chains, tra iler draw bars, thin paint­
ed vertical po les or fences may not be de­
tected by the sys tem, posing risk of dam­
age.
- Never use warm or hot water to remove
snow or ice from the rear view camera lens -
danger of crack formation on the lens!
- When cleaning the lens, never use products
that are abrasive .
Switching on/off
A ppl ies to ve hicles: w ith pa rking system (rea r, w ith rea r view
c am era)
The rear view camera switches on automatically
together with the acoustic park assist when you
put the vehicle in reverse.
S w itch ing on
"' Put the vehicle in reverse gear, the acoustic
parking system w ith rear view camera is act ivat­
ed automat ically. Act ivat ion of the acoustic
108
parking system is confirmed by a brief acknow l­
edgement sound.
Switching off
"' Dr ive faste r than 9 mph ( 15 km/h), or
"' take the vehicle out of reverse gear. The acous­
tic parking system is immed iate ly deactivated,
and the rear view camera picture is deactivated
automatically after a period of about 15 sec­
onds, or
"' sw itch
off the ignition.
The delay in deactivating the camera provides an uninterrupted view behind the vehicle especia lly
when maneuvering in t ight parking spaces and
prevents the picture from turn ing
off the every
time you shift out of reverse .
If the warning message appears in the display
but not the rear v iew camera p icture, read and
confirm the warning message. The acoustic dis­
tance signal is always active.
If you press a function button on the MMI contro l
console, the rear view camera p icture disappears.
The rear v iew camera picture reappears the next
time you park.
Further information on the warning message and
the MMI contro l conso le can be found in the MMI
instruct ion booklet.
A WARNING
- On ly use the rearv iew camera to assist you if
it shows a good, clea r picture. For example,
the image may be affected by the sun shin­
ing into the lens, dirt on the lens o r if there
is a de fec t.
- Use the rea rv iew camera only with the rear
lid completely closed. Make sure any objects
you may have moun ted o n the rear lid do
no t block the rearv iew camera .
@ Tips
-The rear view came ra p icture is available as
soon as the MMI Disp lay o r th e MMI is
switched on, or the start-up phase is com­
pleted.
- The sensors m ust be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the park ass ist to operate.

Braking
What affects broking efficiency?
New brake pads
During the first 250 miles (400 km), new brake
pads do not possess their full braking effect, they
have to be "broken in" first¢,&. . You can com­
pensate for this slightly reduced braking power
by pushing harder on the brake pedal. Avoid
heavy braking loads during the break-in period.
Operating conditions and driving habits
The brakes on today's automobiles are still sub­
ject to wear, depending largely on operating con­
ditions and driving habits~,&. . On vehicles that
are either driven most ly in stop-and -go city traf­
fic or are driven hard, the brake pads should be
checked by your authorized Audi dealer more of­
ten than specified in the
Warranty & Mainte­
nance booklet .
Failure to have your brake pads
i nspected can result in reduced brake perform­
ance .
On steep slopes, you should use the braking ef­
fect of the engine . This way, you prevent unnec­
essary wear on the brake system. If you must use
your brakes, do not hold the brakes down contin­
uously. Pump the brakes at intervals.

N ..,., ,....,
The all-wheel drive concept is designed for high
engine power . Your vehicle is exceptionally pow­
erful and has excellent driving character istics
both under normal driving conditions and on
snow and ice. Always read and follow safety pre­
cautions <=>
,&.
Winter tire s
When driving in the winter, your vehicle with all­
wheel drive has an advantage, even with regular
tires. In winter road conditions it may be advisa­
ble to mount w inter tires (or all-season tires) for
improved driveability and braking: these tires
must be mounted on
all four wheels. See also
<=> page 220, Winter tires.
Tire chains
Where tire chains are mandatory on certain
roads, this normally also applies to vehicles with
all-wheel drive <=>
page 220, Snow chains.
Replacing wheels/tires
Vehicles with all-wheel drive must a lways have
tires of the same size. Also avoid tires with differ­
ent tread depths. For details see page
<=>
page 212, New tires or wheels.
Off-Road driving?
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. Also refer to
<=>page 177.
A WARNING
Always adjust your driving to road and traffic
conditions. Do not let the extra safety afford­
ed by all-wheel drive tempt you into taking
extra risks.
- Although the all-wheel dr ive is very effec­
t ive, always remember that braking capacity
is limited by tire traction. You should there­
fore not drive at excessive speeds on icy or
slippery road surfaces.
- On wet road surfaces, be careful not to dr ive
too fast because the front wheels could be ­
gin to slide on top of the water (aquap lan­
ing). If this shou ld occur, you will have no

warning from a sudden increase in engine
speed as with a front-wheel drive vehicle.
Always drive at speeds which are suited to the road conditions -risk of crash.
Energy management
Starting ability is optimized
Energy management controls the distribution of
electrical energy and thus optimizes the availa­
bility of electrical energy for starting the engine.
If a vehicle with a conventional energy system is
not driven for a long pe riod of time, the battery
is discharged by idling current consumers (e.g.
i mmobil izer). In certain circumstances it can re­
su lt in there being insufficient energy available to
start the engine.
Intelligent energy management in your vehicle
hand les the distribution of electrical energy.
Starting ability is markedly improved and the life
of the battery is extended.
Basically, energy management consists of
bat­
tery diagnosis , idling current management
and
dynamic energy management.
Battery diagnosis
Battery diagnosis continuously determines the
state of the battery . Sensors determine battery
vo lta ge, battery current and battery tempera­
tu re. This determines the current state of charge
and the power of the battery.
Idling current management
Idling current management reduces energy con­
sumption whi le the vehicle is standing. With the
ignition switched off, it contro ls the energy sup­
ply to the various electrical components. Data
from battery diagnosis is considered.
Depending on the battery's state of charge, indi­
vidual consumers are gradually turned off to pre­
vent excessive discharge of the battery and thus
maintain starting capability .
Dynamic energy management
While the vehicle is being driven, dynamic energy
management distr ibutes the energy generated ..,.

Wheels
A WARNING
Wheel bolts that are tightened or repaired in­correctly can become loose and result in loss
of vehicle control , which increases the risk of
an accident. For the correct tightening specifi­
cation, refer to
c:> page 22 7, After changing a
wheel.
- Always keep the wheel bolts and the threads
in the wheel hub clean and free of grease.
- Only use wheel bolts that fit the rim .
- Always have damaged rims repaired by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized repair
facility. Never repair or disassemble rims
yourself, because this increases the risk of an accident.
Winter tires
Winter tires significantly improve the vehicle's handling when driving in winter conditions . Be­
cause of their construction (width, compound,
tread pattern), summer tires provide less traction
on ice and snow.
.., Use winter tires on all four wheels .
.., Only use winter tires that are approved for your
vehicle.
.., Please note that the maximum permitted
speed may be lower with winter tires
c:> .&,.
Your authorized Audi dealer or authorized re­
pai r facility can inform you about the maximum
permitted speed for your tires .
.., Check the tire pressure after installing wheels
c:> page 215.
The effectiveness of winter tires is reduced great­
ly when the tread is worn down to a depth of
0 .1S7 inch (4 mm). The characteristics of winter
tires also decrease greatly as the tire ages, re ­
gardless of the remaining tread.
A WARNING
-Never drive faster than the maximum per­
mitted speed for your t ires. This could cause
the tires to heat up too much . This increases
the risk of an accident because it can cause
the tire to burst.
220
- Always adapt your driving to the road and
traffic conditions. Drive carefully and reduce
your speed on icy or slippery roads. Even
winter tires can lose traction on black ice.
@ For the sake of the environment
Reinstall summer tires at the appropriate
time, because they provide better handling
when roads are free of snow and ice. Summer
tires cause less road noise, tire wear and fuel
consumpt ion.
(D Tips
You can also use all season tires instead of
winter tires. Please note that in some coun­
tries where winter tires are required, only win­
ter tires w ith the
& symbol may be permit­
ted.
· Snow chains
Snow chains improve traction in the snow .
.., Only install snow chains on the front wheels.
This applies also to vehicles with all wheel drive* .
.., Check and correct the seating of the snow
chains if necessary after driving a few feet. Fol­
low the instructions from the manufacturer .
.., Note the maximum permitted speed when driv­
ing with snow chains . Do not exceed 30 mph
(SO km/h) .
Snow chains not only improve the
driving in win­
ter road conditions, but also the
braking.
Use of snow chains is only permitted with certain
rim/tire combinations due to technical reasons.
Check with an authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized repair facility to see if you may use snow
chains .
Use
fine-mesh snow chains. They must not add
more than 0.53 inch (13.S mm) in height, includ­
ing the chain lock.
You must remove the chains when driving on
roads that are
free of snow. When roads are free
of snow, snow chains can impair handling and .,.

A WARNING
Using inco rrect snow cha ins or installing snow
chains incorrectly can resu lt i n loss of vehicle
cont ro l, whic h increases the r isk of an acci ­
de nt.

a he ight/w idth ratio of 60 or mo re.
The performance of low-aspect-ratio tires is par­
ticularly sensitive to improper inflation pres­
sure . It is therefore important that low aspect
ratio tires are inflated to the specified pressure
and that the inflation pressure is regularly
checked and maintained . Tire pressures should
be checked at least once a month and always
before a long trip

me nd that yo u observe the follow ing p recau ­
t ions:
- Alw ays m aintain r eco m me nded infl ation pre s­
sures. C heck your tire pressure every 2,000
m iles (3,00 0 km) an d ad d air if necessary .
- Dr ive c arefully on road s wi th pot holes, deep
gu llies o r ridges. The impac t from dr iv ing
through or over s uch obstacles can damage
your tires . Impact with a curb may a lso ca use
damage to your tires .
- After a ny impact, imme diate ly inspect yo ur
tires o r have them inspected by the nearest au­
thorized A udi dealer. Rep lace a damaged t ire as
soon as possible.
- Inspect your tires every 2,000 m iles (3,000 km)
for damage and wear . Damage is not always
easy to see. Damage can lead to loss of air and
unde rinflation, w hich could even tually cause
t ire failure .
If you beli eve that a t ire may have
been damaged, re place the t ire as soon as pos­
s ible.
- These ti res may wear more quickly tha n oth ers .
- Please also remember that, wh ile these tires

Emerg enc y ass is tance
There are some restrictions on the use of the
compact spare tire. The compact spare tire has
been designed specifically for your type of vehi­
cle. It must not be swapped w ith a compact
spare tire from another type of vehicle.
Snow chain s
For technical reasons, the use of snow chains on
the compact spare tire is
n ot permitted .
If you do have to drive w ith snow cha ins and a
front tire f ails, mount the spare whee l with tire
instead of a rear tire. Install the snow chains on
the rear tire and use it to replace the defective
front tire .
A WARNING
-Never use the spare tire if it is damaged or if
it is worn down to the tread wear ind icators.
- If the spare t ire is more than 6 years o ld,
use it only in an emergency and w ith ex­
treme caut ion and careful driving.
- The spare tire is intended only for tempora­
ry and short-term use.
It should be replaced
as soon as possible with the norma l wheel
and t ire.
- After mounti ng the compact spare tire, the
t ire pressure must be checked as soon as
poss ible. The tire pressure of the compact
spare t ire must be 4.2 bar; otherwise, you
risk having an a cc ident.
- Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) .
You r isk having an accident.
- Avoid full-throttle acce lerat ion, heavy brak­
ing, and fast corneri ng. You r is k having an
a cc ident.
- Never dr ive using more than one spare
wheel and tire. You risk hav ing an accident.
- Norma l summer or winter tires must not be
mounted on the compact spare whee l rim.
- For technical reasons, the use of tire chains
on the spare tire is not permitted. If it is
necessary to drive w ith tire chains, the spare
wheel m ust be mounted on the front axle in
the event of a flat in a rear tire. The new ly
available front wheel must then be installed
in place of the rear wheel with the flat tire .
226
Installing the tire chain before mounting
the wheel and tire is recommended.
- Loose items in the passenger compartment
can cause serious personal injury during
hard braking or in an accident. Never store
the spare t ire or jack and tools in the pas­
senger compartment .
Replacing wheels
Before changing a wheel
Observe the following precautions for your own
and your passenger 's safety when changing a
wheel.
~ After you experience a t ire failure, pu ll the ca r
wel l away from mov ing traffic and t ry to reac h
le vel ground before you stop ¢ ,& .
~ All passengers should lea ve the car and move
to a safe location (for instance, behind the
guardrail) ¢,& .
~ Engage the pa rking brake to prevent your vehi­
cle from ro lling unintent ionally¢ ,&.
~ Shift into 1st gear on veh icles with manual
transm iss ion, or move the
selector lev er to the
P po sition
on vehicles with automatic transmis­
sion .
~ If you are towing a trai le r: unhit ch the trailer
from your ve hicle.
~ Take the jack ¢ page 225 and the spare tire
¢ page 225 out of the luggage compartment .
A WARNING
You or your passengers could be injured wh ile
changing a whee l if you do not follow these
safety precautions:
- If you have a flat tire, move a safe d ista nee
off the road. Turn off the eng ine, turn the
emergency flashers on and use other warn­ ing dev ices to alert other motor ists.
- Make sure that passengers wait in a safe
place away from the vehicle and well away
from the road and traffic.
- To help preve nt the vehicle from moving
suddenly and possibly slipping off the jack,
always fully set the parking b rake and block
