Instruments and indicator lights
~ Engine control
If the II indicator light turns on if there is a mal­
function in
the engine control.
Drive slowly
to an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility
to have the engine
checked .
o System indicator light (MIL)
The system indicator light (MIL) is part of the On
Board Diagnostic system (OBD II). The ¢.j sym­
bol turns on when the ignition is switched on and
turns
off again once the engine is started and
running
at a steady idle speed. This indicates that
the MIL is functioning correctly.
The indicator
light turns on if there is a malfunc­
tion in the engine electronics. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility
to
have the malfunction corrected.
For additional
information, refer to¢ page 17.
!?\Engine speed limitation
Applies to vehicles wit h en gi ne speed lim itation
(I! Maximum engine speed: XXXX rpm
The engine speed is automatically limited to the
speed displayed in the driver information system.
This protects
the engine from overheating.
The engine speed
limitation deactivates once the
engine is no longer in the critical temperature
range and you have released the accelerator ped­
al once.
If the engine speed limitation was activated by
an engine
control malfunction, the II indicator
light also turns on. Make sure the engine speed
does
not go above the speed displayed, for exam­
ple when downshifting. Drive
to an authorized
Audi dealer or authori z
ed Audi Service Facility im­
mediately to have the malfunction corrected.

General information
New engine
The engine needs to be run-in during the first
1,000 mi (1,500 km).
For the first 600 mi (1,000 km):
... Do not use full throttle.
... Do not drive at engine speeds that are more
than 2/3 of the maximum permitted RPM.
... Avoid high engine speeds.
From 600 to 1,000 mi (1 ,000 to 1,500 km):
... Speeds can gradually be increased to the maxi­
mum permissible road or engine speed.
During and after break-in period
... Do not rev th e engine u p to high speeds when it
is cold. This
applies whether the transmission is
in N
(Neutral) or in gear.
After the break-in period
... Do not exceed maximum engine speed under
any cir cu
mstances .
... Upshift into th e nex t higher gear before reach ­
ing th e red
area at th e end of the tachometer
sea le r=:> page 8 .
During the firs t few hours of drivi ng, the engine's
interna l fric tion is higher than later when a ll th e
moving parts have been broken in . How well this
break-in process is done depends to a considera­
ble extent on the way the vehicle is driven during
the first 1,000 mi (1,500 km).
@Note
Extremely high engine speeds are automati­
cally reduced. However, these rpm limits are
programmed for an engine well r un -in, not a
new engine.
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not drive with unnecessarily high engine
speeds -upshi fting early saves fuel, reduces
noise and protects the environment.

·New tires
If your veh icle is runni ng on new tires, d rive par­
t icula rly careful for the first 350 m i (500 km) af­
ter fitting.
.&. WARNING
-New tires tend to be slippery and must a lso
be "broken-in". Be sure to remember this dur­
ing the first 350 m i (500 km). Brake gently .
Avoid following closely behind other vehicles
or other situations that might req uire sudden,
hard braking.
Avoid damaging the vehicle
When you are driv ing on poor roads, or over
cu r
bs, steep ramps, etc., make certain that l ow­
l y i
ng parts such as sp oile rs and exhaust system
parts do not bottom out and get damaged.
This is especially true for veh icles with low-s lu ng
c h
assis (sports chassis) * and fully loaded
vehicles .
Driving through water on roads
Note th e following to avo id vehicl e damage when
driv ing thro ugh water, for example on flooded
roads:
- The wat
er must not be any higher than the bot­
t
om of the vehicle body.
-
Do not dri ve faster than walking speed.
_&. WARNING
Af te r driving through water or mu d, the brak­
ing e
ffect can be reduced due to moisture on
the brake d iscs and brake pads. A few careful
b rake applications should dry off the bra kes.
@Note
Vehicle components such as the engi ne,
transmission, su s pension o r electrica l system
can be severely damaged by driving through
water. ..,.

-There is no vehicle stabilization when ESC/
ASR are switched off.
(D Tips
-When the cruise control system is switched
on, ESC/ ASR cannot be switched off or sport
mode cannot
be switched on.
- Malfunctions in the rear spoiler
or the Audi
magnetic ride may make
it impossible to
switch the ESC/ ASR off or to switch sport
mode on.
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. ~

-Only apply the brakes for the purpose of
cleaning the brake system when road and
traffic conditions permit. You must not en­
danger other road users. This increases the
risk of an accident.
-
On steep slopes, reduce the speed and se­
lect a lower gear or lower selector lever po­
sition . Drive
as little as possible while press­
ing the brake pedal and avoid putting your
left foot on the brake pedal while driving.
This could
cause the brakes to overheat and
impair the efficiency of the brakes.
-
Do not let the brakes "grind" by always
keeping
your foot on the brake pedal. This
can
cause the brakes to over heat, increase
wear and increase brak ing distance u nneces ­
sari ly.
-
Certa in weather and operating cond it io ns
such as driving through water, driving in
heavy rain or driving after washing your ve­
hicle
can impair the effectiveness of the
brakes. In the winter, ice may build up on
the brake pads, rotors and drums. Check
these components by braking carefully. Ap­
plying
the brakes carefully several times
dries the brakes and removes ice build-up.
- The efficiency
of the brakes can also be im­
paired by driving
for long stretches on roads
covered with salt without using the brakes.
You can remove salt deposits from the
brake rotors and pads by carefully applying
the brakes several times.
-If the front spoiler is damaged or you install
another spoiler, make sure the front wheel
brakes are ventilated properly. Otherwise,
the brake system could overheat, wh ic h re ­
duces
thei r effectiveness.
- Failure
of a brake circuit impairs braking
performance, which increases braking dis­
tance.
Avoid driving the vehicle and have it
towed it to the nearest authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
- Never
let the vehicle roll while the engine is
stopped because this increases the risk of an
accident.
-
If the brake booster is not working, you will
have
to press much harder on the brake
90
pedal to compensate for the lack of the
booster.
@ Note
-Never let the brakes "rub" by pressing the
pedal lightly when braking is not really nec­
essary. This
causes the brakes to overheat
and increases braking distance and causes
wear.
- Before driving a long
distance on a steep
slope, decrease your speed and select a low­
er driving gear. This makes use of the en­
gine braking effect and relieves the brakes.
If you need to brake additionally, brake in
interva ls and not continuously.
(D Tips
-Ifthe brake booster is not work ing, you
must press the brake pedal w ith much more
force than normal.
-
If you retrofit your vehicle with a front spoil­
er wheel covers or similar items, make sure '
that the air flow to the front wheels is not
interrupted. Otherwise the brake system
can become too hot.
Electromechanical
steering
The electromechanical steering supports the
driver's steering movements.
Power steering adapts electronically based on
the vehicle speed.
Indicator lights and messages
• Steering: malfunction! Please stop vehicle
If this indicator light turns on and stays on and
this message appears, the power steering may
have failed.
Stop the vehicle in a safe location as soon as pos­
sible.
Do not continue driving. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility for
assistance.

-The auxiliary radiator fan switches on auto­
matically when the engine coolant reaches a
certain temperature and will continue to run
until the coolant temperature drops.
Brake fluid
Checking brake fluid level
Fig. 188 Engine compartment: cover on the brake fluid
reservoir
Before you check anything in the engine compart­
ment, always read and heed all WARNINGS
¢page 236.
~ Read the brake fluid level from the brake fluid
reservo ir ¢ fig. 188, ¢page 238, fig. 184. The
brake fluid level must be between the "MIN"
and "MAX" markings.
The location
of the brake fluid reservoir can be
seen in the engine compartment illustration
¢page238.
The fluid level may drop slightly after some time
due to the automatic adjustment of the brake
pads. This is not cause for alarm.
If the brake fluid level falls considerably below
the "MIN" mark, the brake warning/indicator
light .. (U.S. models) I. (Canadian models)
will come on ¢ page 11. Do not continue to oper­
ate the vehicle. The complete brake system
should be thoroughly checked by an authorized
Audi dealer or other qualified facility and the
cause corrected. Ifthe brake fluid level is too
low, the brake warning/indicator light will illumi­
nate. Contact an authorized Audi dealer immedi­
ately.
244
Changing brake fluid
Have the brake fluid changed by an experienced
technician .
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air. If the
water content in the brake fluid is too high, cor­
rosion in
the brake system may result after ape­
riod of time. The boiling point of the brake fluid
will
also decrease considerably and decrease
braking performance.
Therefore, the brake fluid must be changed every
two years. Always use new brake fluid which con­
forms to Federal Motor Vehicle Standard "FMVSS
116 DOT 4".
The brake fluid reservoir can be difficult to reach,
therefore, we recommend that you have the
brake fluid changed by your authorized Audi
dealer. Your dealer has the correct tools, the
right brake fluid and the know-how to do this for
you.
8._ WARNING
- Brake fluid is poisonous. It must be stored
only in the closed original container out of
the reach of children!
-Brake failure can result from old or inappro­
priate brake fluid. Observe these precau­
tions:
-Use only brake fluid that meets SAE speci­
fication
J 1703 and conforms to Federal
Motor Vehicle Standard 116. Always check
with
your authorized Audi dealer to make
sure you are using the correct brake fluid.
The
correct type of brake f lui d is also ind i­
cated on the brake fluid reservoir .
- The
brake fluid must be new. Heavy use of
the brakes can cause a vapor lock if the
brake fluid is left in the system too long.
This
can seriously affect the efficiency of
the brakes as well as your safety. This
could
result in an accident.
CD Note
Brake flu id will damage the paint of your veh i-
cle .
