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. ~

Indicator lights
Ii) I. Rear spoiler: malfunction!
The
rear spoiler may not have extended due to a
malfunction.
This could change the veh icle's driv
ing characteristics
at high speeds. Do not drive
faster than 85 mph (140 km/h). Drive to an au
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility
immediately to have the malfunction cor
rected. The color
of the indicator light depends
on the vehicle speed.
..&. WARNING
-
Driving at higher speeds without the rear
spoiler deployed can impair handling charac
teristics, making
the vehicle harder to con
trol.
- Always
make sure that the spoiler is de
ployed when driving at
speeds ove r 85 mph
(140 km/h). If the rear spoiler warning/indi
cator light in the instrument cluster comes
on, the rear spoiler may not have deployed.
- Never drive
at speeds higher than 85 mph
(140 km/h) ifthe spoiler is not deployed.
Have
the spoiler inspected as soon as possi
ble by an
authorized Audi dealer or qualified
workshop.
- Always obey
speed limits and other traffic
laws.

..&. WARNING
Improper operation of the rear spoiler can
cause crushing injuries.
-Always make sure that nobody, especially
children, is
in the way when the rear spoiler
is deployed or retracted.
«J:) Note
-Never push on the vehicle on the rear spoil
er. This could
cause damage.
- To
prevent damage to the rear spoiler do
not lean or place anything on it.
-
-Only operate the rear spoiler manually when
the luggage compartment lid is close and
the rear spoiler moving parts are not
blocked. Otherwise, damage could occur.
(D Tips
Clean the rear spoiler compartment every 2 to
3 months. To function correctly, the rear
spoiler must be free of ice, snow and leaves.
Energy management

The energy management system manages the
electrical energy distribution
and optimizes the

drained by equipment (for example the immobil

certain circumstances, there could may
not be enough energy to start the engine.
Your vehicle

Wi-Fi Hotspot
Applies to: vehicles with Wi-Fi hotspot
You con use the MMI as a Wi-Fi hotspot to con
nect up to eight Wi-Fi devices to the Internet.
While driving, restricted use
of non-secured,
light, small wireless devices is only possible from
the rear of the vehicle.
Requirement: the ignition must be switched on.
.,. Select: I MENU I button >Telephone > right con
trol button > Wi-Fi settings.
The
following settings can be modified in the Wi·
Fi settings menu:
Wi-Fi mode
The MMI Wi-Fi hotspot is deactivated at the fac
tory. Switch the Wi-Fi hotspot to Hotspot before
establishing a connection between your vehicle
and your Wi
-Fi device.
-
Hotspot: the MMI Wi-Fi hotspot is active and
visible
to other devices. A connection can be es
tablished with new wireless devices.
-
Hotspot and client: the MMI Wi-Fi hotspot is
active. An internet connection to a personal Wi
Fi hotspot (such as a smartphone) can be estab
lished. Using Network searc h c:? page 126, you
can search for your personal hotspot and con
nect to the MMI.
-
Off: the MMI Wi-Fi hotspot is deactivated. An
Internet connection is not possible.
Hotspot settings
The Wi-Fi connection between your vehicle and
your Wi-
Fi device (laptop, cell phone) is e ncr ypt
ed. To establish a connection, you must enter the
following values when setting up your wireless
device.
You can change them if necessary.
- Access
point (SSID): name of the Wi-Fi net

A list of available Wi-Fi networks in your area is
displayed.
A WARNING
~ --As the driver, do not allow usage of the Wi-
Fi hotspot to distract you from driving, as
this could increase the risk of an accident.
-
It is only safe to use laptops and similar mo
bile devices when the vehicle is stationary
because, like
all loose objects, they could be
thrown around the inside of the vehicle in a
crash and cause serious injuries. Store these
t ypes
of devices securely while driving.
-
Do not use any wireless devices on the front
seats within range of the airbags while driv
ing. Also note the warnings in the "Airbag
System" chapter under "Important Informa
tion on the Front Airbag System"
c:? page 192, Front airbags.
@Note
You are responsible for all precautions taken
for data protection, anti-virus protection and
protection against loss
of data on mobile de
vices that are used to access the Internet
through the Wi-Fi hotspot.
(D Tips
-A separate, paid mobile subscription may be
needed
to use the Wi-Fi hotspot. You can
obtain more information from your cell
phone servi
ce provider.
- Being able
to receive the data packet from
th e internet via the Wi-Fi hotspot, may re
sult in add itiona l costs, especially when op
erating in foreign countries, depending on
your cellular phone plan: the use
of a flat
rate data plan is highly recommended! You
can obtain more information from your cell
phone service provider.
