sponding position:
@ -windshield wipers
off
@-interval mode. To increase/decrease the wip
er intervals , move
the switch @ to the left/right.
In vehicles with a rain sensor*, the wipers turn on
in the rain once the vehicle speed exceeds ap
proximately 2 mph (4
km/h). The higher the sen
sitivity
of the rain sensor* is set (switch @ to the
right),
the earlier the windsh ield wipers react to
moisture on the windsh ield. You can deact ivate
the rain sensor mode* in the Infotainment sys
tem, which switches the intermittent mode on.

A WARNING
f-==" -I
- The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver is still responsib le for
manually switching the wipers on according
to the visibility conditions .
- The windsh ield may
not be treated with wa
ter-repelling windshield coating agents. Un
favorable conditions, such as wetness, dark
ness, and when
the sun is low, can cause in
creased glare which increases
the risk of an
accident.
Wiper blade chatter is also possi
b l
e.
-Properly functioning windshield wiper
b lad
es are required for a clear view and safe
driving
<:::>page 42, Replacing windshield
wiper blades.
CD Note
-In the case of frost, check whether the
windshield wiper blades are frozen to the
windshield. Switching on the windshield
wipers
can damage the w ip er blades!
-
Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
w ip er system
must be switched off (lever in
position
0). This prevents unintentiona l
switching on and damage
to the windsh ield
wiper system .
@Tips
-The windshie ld wipers switch off when the
ignition is turned off. Activate the wind
shield wipers
after the ignition is switched
back on by moving
the windshield wiper lev
er
to any position.
-
Worn or dirty windshie ld wiper blades result
in streaking.
This can affect the rain sensor*
function .
Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly .
- The washer fluid nozzles in
the windshield
washer system are heated*
at low tempera
tures when

- When stopping
temporarily, such as at a
traffic light, the speed of the windshield

Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not achieve their full braking
effect during the first 250 mi (400 km) . They
must be "broken in" first. However, you can com
pensate
for the slightly reduced braking force by
pressing
firmly on the brake pedal. Avoid heavy
braking during the break-in period.
Wear
Brake pad wear depends largely on the way the
vehicle is driven and on operating conditions.
This is especially true
if you are driving frequently
in
the city and on curves or with a sporty driving
style.
Operating noise
Noises may occur when braking depending on the
speed, braking force and outside conditions such
as temperature and humidity.
Effect of water and road salt
In certain situations, for example after driving
through water, in heavy
rain, after overnight con
densation
or after washing your car, the braking
effect can be reduced by moisture or ice on the
brake rotors and brake pads. The brakes
must be
"dried" first with a few careful brake applica
tions.
At higher speeds and with the windshield wipers
turned
on, the brake pads press against the brake
rotors
for a short amount of time. This action
which is
not felt by the driver happens at regular
Intelligent Technology
intervals and facilitates a better reaction time for
the brakes in wet weather.
T
he braking effect can also be reduced if you are
driving on salted roads and you do
not apply the
brakes for Long periods of time. The Layer of salt
on the brake rotors and pads must be worn off
first when the brakes are applied.
Corrosion
Leaving the vehicle parked for Long periods of
time, Low mileage and avoiding heavy braking
can contribute
to corrosion on the brake rotors
and
dirty brake pads.
If you usually avoid heavy braking or ifthere is
corrosion present, occasiona l heavy braking
at
high speeds is recommended to clean the brake
rotors and
pads¢.&..
Brake system malfunction
if you notice that the brake pedal travel has sud
denly gotten Larger, then a brake circuit may have
failed. Drive
to an authorized Audi dealer or au
thorized Audi Service Facility immediately to have
the problem corrected. On the way there, drive
with reduced speed and keep in mind that a Long
braking distance and increased pressure on the
brake pedal will be necessary.
Low brake fluid level
When the brake fluid Level is Low, malfunctions in
the brake system may occur. The brake fluid Level
is electronically monitored.
Brake booster
The brake booster amplifies the pressure you ap
ply to the brake pedal. It only works when the en
gine is running.
A WARNING
-New brake pads do not achieve their full
braking effect during the first 250 mi
(400 km). They must be "broken in" first.
However, you
can compensate for the
slightly reduced braking force by pressing
firmly on the brake pedal. Avoid heavy brak-
ing during
the break-in period. ~

Care and cleaning
General information
Regular, proper care helps to maintain your vehi
cle's value.
It can also be a requirement when
submitting warranty claims for corrosion damage
and
paint defects on the body .
The necessary care products
can be obtained

low the instructions for use on the packaging.
A WARNING
-Using cleaning and care products incorrectly
can be dangerous to your health.
-Always store cleaning and care products out

so
ning.
@ For the sake of the environment
- Preferably use environmentally-friendly
products when buying cleaning agents.
-
Do not dispose of leftover cleaning and care
products
with household trash.
Car washes
The longer that deposits remain on the vehicle,
the more the surface may be damaged. High
temperatures such
as those caused by sunlight
increase the damag ing effect.
Before washing, ri
nse off heavy deposits with
plenty of water.
Stubb orn depos its such
as bird droppings or tree
sap are best removed with plenty of water and a
microfiber cloth.
Also, wash
the underside of your vehicle once
road
salt stops being used for the season.
Pressure washers
When washing your vehicles with a pressure
washer, always
follow the operating instructions
provided
with the pressure washer. This is espe
cially
important in regard to the pressure and
spraying distance.
Do not direct the stream of
cleaning solution directly onto the side window
seals, doors, luggage
compartment lid or hood,
270
tires, rubber hoses, insulating material or sen
sors *.
Keep a distance of at least 16 in (40 cm).
Do not remove snow and ice with a pressure
washer.
Never use rotary nozzles
or high pressure noz
zles.
The
water temperature must not be above 140 °F
(60 °().
Automatic car washes
Spray off the vehicle before washing.
M a
ke su re that the windows are closed and the
windshield wipers a re off. Follow instructions
from the car was h operato r, espec ially if there
a re accessories attached
to your vehicle.
If possible, use car washes that do not have
b rushes.
Washing by hand
Clean the vehicle starting from the top and work
ing down using a soft sponge or cleaning brush.
Use solvent-free cleaning products.
Washing vehicles with matte finish paint by
hand
To avoid damaging the paint when washing, first
remove dust and large particles from your vehi
cle. Insects, grease spots and fingerprints are
bes t removed
with a special cleaner for matte
finish paint.
Apply th e p roduct using a microfiber cloth. To
avoid damagin g t he paint surface, do not use too
much pressu re.
Rinse the vehicle thorough ly with water. Then
cl e
an using a neutral shampoo and a soft micro
fiber cloth .
R i
nse the vehicle thoroughly again and let it air
dry. Remove any water residue using a shammy.
A WARNING
-Only wash the vehicle when the ignition is
off and follow the instructions from the car
wash operator
to reduce the risk of acci
dents.
