-Determine the depth before driving through
water.
-Do not stop the vehicle, drive in reverse or
switch the engine off when driving through
water.
- Keep in mind that oncoming vehicles may
create waves that raise the water level and
make it too deep for your vehicle to drive
through safely.
- Avoid driving
through salt water (corrosion).
Economical and environmentally-friendly
driving
The amount of fuel consumption, the envi ron­
mental impact and the wear to the engine,
b rakes and tires depends mostly on yo ur driving
style. Wit h
an anticipatory and economic driv ing
style, fu
el consumption can be reduced by ap­
proximately 10-lSo/o. The following tips will help
you conserve the environment and your money at
the same time.
Anticip atory driv ing
A veh icle uses the most fuel when a ccele rating.
When you drive with anticipation, you do not
need to brake as often and thus acce lerate less.
When possible, let your vehicle coast with a gea r
engaged -for example, when you notice that the
next traffic light is red.
Avoid full acceleration
You should rarely travel at the maximum vehicle
speed. High speeds cause a disproportionately
high increase in fuel consumption, emissions and
traffic noise. Slower driving saves fuel.
Reduce idling time
It pays off to stop the engine, for example when
at railroad crossings or traffic lights with longer
red lights. Stopping the engine for 30-40 sec­
onds already saves more fuel than the amount of
extra fuel needed to restart the engine.
It takes a very long time in idle to warm the en­
gine up to operating temperature. Wear and
emissions are especially high in the warm-up
Driving
phase. Therefore, you should begin driving im­
mediately after starting the engine. Avoid high
RPMs while doing this.
Service regularly
By servic ing you r vehicle regularly, you can help
to reduce fuel consumption before you even start
to drive . The maintenance condition of your vehi­
cle not only affects traffic safety and long-term
val ue b ut also impacts fuel co nsumptio n.
A poorly serviced engine can lead to fuel con­
sumption that is 10% higher than normal.
Also check the oil level when refueling. The oil
con sumpti on
depends largely on the engine load
and speed. It is no rmal for the oil consumption
of a new engine to reach its lowest point only af­
ter a certain amount of use. Therefore, the oil
consumption can only be properly judged after
approximately 3,000 mi (5,000 km) have been
driven.
Avoi d short trip s
The engine and exhaust cleaning system must
reach their optimal operating tempera tu re to ef­
fectively reduce consumption and emissions.
A cold engine consumes a disproportionately
high
amount of f u el. The engine is at operating
temperature and consumption has normalized
only after approximately four kilometers.
Q) Note
Do not leave engine idling unattended after
starting. If warning lights should come on to
indicate improper operation, they would go
unheeded. Extended idling also produces
heat, which could result in overheating or
other damage to the vehicle or other proper­
ty.
CD Note
-Have your vehicle maintained properly and
in accordance with the service recommenda­
tions in your Warranty & M ain tenance book-
let. Lac k of proper mai ntenance as well as
improper use of th e vehi cle w il l impair the
function of the emission control system and
cou ld lead to damage. .,..

-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.

Catalytic converter
It is very important that your emission control
system (catalytic converter) is functioning prop­
erly to ensure
that your vehicle is running in on
environmentally sound manner.
.,.. Always use lead-free gasoline Q page 231, Gas­
oline grade .
.. Never run the tank down all the way to empty.
.. Never put too m uch motor oil in your engine
Q page 240, Adding engine oil "t::r..
.. Never try to push-or tow-start your vehicle.
The
catal ytic converter is an efficient "clean-up"
device built into the exhaust system of the vehi­
cle. The catalytic
converter burns many of the
pollutants in the exhaust gas before they are re­
leased into
the atmosphere .
Checking and Filling
The exclusive use of unleaded fuel is critically im­
portant for the life of the catalytic converter and
proper functioning of the engine.
A WARNING
f= - I
The temperature of the exhaust system is
high, both when driving and after stopping
the engine.
- Never
touch the exhaust tail pipes once they
have become hot. This could result in burns.
-Do not park or operate the vehicle in a reas
where the hot exhaust system may come in
contact with dry grass, brush, fuel spill or
other material which can cause a fire .
-
Do not appl y additional undercoating or
r ustproofing on or near the exhaust mani­
fold, exhau
st pipes, catalytic converter or
heat shields. During driving, the substance
used for un dercoating could overheat and
cause a fire.
CD Note
-Be aware that just one tank filli ng with
leaded fuel w ill already seriously degrade
the performance of th e c atalytic converter .
-
Do not exceed the correct engine oil leve l
Qpoge240 .
-Do not drive until the fuel tank becomes
completely empty. The engi ne could mis­
fire. Unbu r
ned fuel coul d also get into the
exhaust system and this could cause the
ca ta lyt ic co nver ter to overheat.
-Do not swi tch off the ignition whil e the vehi ­
cl e is moving .
-
Do not continue to operate your vehi cle un­
der these condi tions, as o therwise fuel c a n
reach the catalytic converter. This could re­
sult in over heating of the converter, requir­
ing
its replacement .
