light sensor checked as soon as possible at a
dealership.
Adaptive light *
The benefit of adaptive l ight is that the curve
and the edge of the road are better i llum inat­
ed . The adaptive light is contro lled automati­
cally, depending on vehicle speed and steering
wheel angle.
When driving a round bends, the head lights
are contro lled according to steering wheel an­
g le . So that there is no black area ahead of the
ve hic le, the two main beams pivot at different
angles. The system works above a speed of
about 6 mph (10 km/h).
Com ing home /le avi ng home function *
The function is swit ched on when the switch is
in the AUTO* position and the function is
shown as active in the driver information sys­
tem.
The
coming hom e function illuminates the
area around the vehicle when the ign ition is
switched off and the driver's door is ope ned.
The length of time the lights remain on can be
set in the menu display
( Illumination > Exte­
rior lights > coming home ).
The leavi ng home function i lluminates the
area around the vehicle when unlocking it.
A WARNING
- Never use dayt ime running l ights to see
where you are going. They are not bright
enough and w ill not let you see far
enough ahead for safety, especially at
dusk or when it is dar k. Always switch on
the low beams at dusk or when i t is dar k.
- Automatic headlights a re only intended
to assist the dr iver. They do not re lieve
t he driver of his responsibi lity to check
t he headlights and to turn them on man­
ually according to the current light and
visibility conditions. For example, fog
and rain cannot be detected by the light
sensors. So a lways switch on the head­
lights under these weather cond itions
and when driving in the dark
jO .
Clear vis ion 49
- Crashes can happen when you cannot see
the road ahead and when you cannot be
seen by other motorists.
- Always turn on the headlights so that
youcanseeahe adandsothatothe ~
can see your car from the back .
- Please observe legal regulat ions w hen
using the ligh ting systems des cribed.
(D Tips
- T he light sensor for head light control is
located in the rear view mirror mount.
Do not apply any stickers to t he wind­
shield in th is area to preven t malfunc­
tions or fa ilures.
- Some exter io r l ighting funct ions can be
adjusted in t he driver i nformat ion sys­
t em
~page 24.
- I f you remove the igni tion from t he igni ­
t ion lock while the headligh ts are s till
on, a buzzer wi ll sound as long as the
driver's door is o pen to remind yo u to
t u rn off the lights.
- Always observe the specific local regula ­
tions for your area as to when to use your
lights.
- With automatic headlights, the high­
beam f unction is also available, but w ith
one restrict ion: If you have not sw itched
the high beams back to low beams dur­
ing automatic headlight operation (for
example, after d riving throug h a tunnel),
only the low beams come on the next
t ime au tomati c headlights a re swi tched
on. To use the high beams , you firs t have
t o pull the hig h beam lever back and
then push the lever fo rward again .
- In coo l or damp weather, the inside of
the headlights, turn signals an d tail
lights can fog over due to the tempera­
t u re difference between the inside and
outside. They w ill clear shortly after
switching them on. This does not affect
the se rv ice life of the lighting.

@ For the sake of the environment
Because of the problem of proper disposa l

requ ired and the necessary expert ise, we
recommend that you have the brake fluid
changed by your author ized Audi dealer .
Battery
General information
Your vehicle is equipped with a special bat­
tery, an
ACM battery. This battery is located
in the luggage compartment and must be re­
p laced w ith an original equipment battery .
Under normal operati ng conditions, the bat­
tery is
maint enan ce -fre e.
Have the battery checked when you take your
ve hicle in for service. You are well adv ised to
replace a battery that is older than
5 years.
Di sconn ect ing the battery terminal s
Some vehicle functions (power window regu­
lators, for example) are lost if the battery ter­
minals are d isconnected. These functions have
to be re learned after the battery terminals are
connected again . To prevent this, the battery
should only be d isconnected from the vehicle
e lectr ica l system when absolutely necessary
for repairs .
Vehicles not driven for l ong period s
If you do not drive your vehicle over a period
of several days or weeks, electrical compo ­
nents are gradually cut back o r switched off .
This reduces energy consumption and main­
tains sta rting capab ility over a longer per iod
c::> page 146. Some of the convenience func­
tions may not operate, s uch as the interior
lights or power seat adjustment. The conven ­
ience functions will be avai lab le again when
you switch on the ignition and start the en­ g ine.
Winter operation
D uring the winter months, ba tte ry capaci ty
tends to decrease as temperatures d rop. This
is because more powe r is also consumed while
Checkin g and fillin g 175
starting, and the headlights, rear window de ­
fogger, etc ., are used more often .
Avoid unnecess ary powe r consumpt io n, p ar­
t icu lar ly in city traffic o r when traveling only
sho rt distances. Let your authorized A udi
dealer check the capacity of the vehicle bat­
tery before winter sets in
c::> page 178. A well
charged battery will not on ly prevent starting
problems when the weather is cold, but will
also last longer .
Replacing battery
The new battery must ha ve the same capaci ­
ty, voltage (12 volts), amperage, construction
and plug sea ling, as the original battery. Spec­
ifications are listed o n the battery housing.
Batter ies spec ia lly developed by Audi fulfill
the maintenance, outp ut, and safety require­
ments.
When installing the battery, make sure the ig­ nition and a ll electrical consumers are switch ­
ed off
c::> (D .
We recommend that you use maintenance­
free or
cycle -res istant /leak-proof batter ies
accord ing to the standards TL 825 06 (from
Apr il 2008) and VW 7 50 73 (from Ap ril
2010).
Rep lacing the battery should be carried by a
qualified workshop. Please fo llow the instruc ­
tions on the battery cover.
([) Note
-All work on the battery requ ires techn i­
cal know ledge. P lease contact an Audi
deale rship o r anot her au tho rized fac ility
for questions abo ut the batte ry -dang er
of a cid b urns and exp losion ha zard!
- T he battery must not be opened! Do not
try to cha nge the battery 's liquid level,

- T he AGM battery in the l uggage com­
p artment cannot leak, because the elec­
tro lyte for this battery is abso rbed into a
special glass mat. This lea k-p roof battery
