38
- You are the last c a r in a tra ffic jam so that
all other vehi cles approaching from behind
can see you, or if

controlled automatically.
A switch is no longer needed to switch the read­
ing lights on. A swiping movement or a brief tap
on the light is all that is needed to switch the
light on or off. If you hold your finger on the
reading light when switching it on, this ca n dim
the light down t o a certain level.
Interior light ing
There are other interior lighting functions that
are availab le. Several functions can be set in the
Infotainment system. Select in the Infotainment

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Pulling and holding the switch while driving at a
speed
of about 2 mph (3 km/h) or higher ini­
tiates
the emergency braking function. The vehi ­
cle
is braked at all four wheels by activating the
hydraulic brake system . The brake performance is
similar to heavy braking. c> &.
In order not to activate the emergency braking by
mistake,
an audib le warning tone (buzzer)
sounds when
the switch is pulled. As soon as the
switch is released, or the accelerator pedal is de ­
pressed, emergency braking stops .
A WARNING
Emergency braking should only be used in an
emergency, when the normal brake pedal has
fai led or the brake pedal is obstructed. During
emergency braking, your vehicle
will brake
simi lar
to heavy braking. ESC and the associ ­
ated components
(ABS, ASR, EDL) cannot
overcome
the laws of physics. In corners and
when road or weather condi
tions are bad, a
full brake application can cause the vehicle to
skid or the rear end to break away, which in­
creases the risk of an accident.
Trailer towing
General information
Your Audi TT Coupe is not designed to tow a trail­
er.
Towing a trailer with your Aud i T T Coupe is not
r e commended and can cause damage to the car.
D amaged caused by
towing a trailer is not cov­

Emergency situations
General
This chapter is intended for trained emergency
crews and working personnel who have the nec­
essary tools and equipment to perform these
operations.
Starting by pushing or
towing
CD Note
Vehicles with an automatic transmission can­
not be started by pushing or towi ng.
Starting with jumper
cables
If necessary, the engine con be started by con­
necting it to the battery of another vehicle.
If the engine should fail to start because of a dis­
charged or weak battery, the battery can be con­
nected to the battery of another vehicle, using a
pair of jumper cables to start the engine.
Jumper cables
Use only jumper cables of sufficiently large cross
section to carry the starter current safely. Refer
to the manufacturer's specifications.
Use only jumper cables with insulated terminal
clamps which are distinctly marked:
plus(+) cable in most cases co lored red
minus(-) cable in most cases colored black.
A WARNING _,
Batteries contain electricity, acid, and gas.
Any of these can cause very serious or fatal in·
jury. Follow the instructions below for safe
handling of your vehicle's battery.
-Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning
over
the battery whenever possible.
- A discharged
battery can freeze at tempera­
tures just below 32 °F (0 °C). Before con­
necting a jumper cable, you must thaw the
288
frozen battery completely, otherwise it
could explode.
-
Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes or
skin. Flush any contacted area with water
immediately.
-
Improper use of a booster battery to start a
vehicle may
cause an explosion.
- Vehicle
batteries generate explosive gases.
Keep sparks, flame and lighted cigarettes
away from batteries.
-Do not try to jump start any vehicle with a
low acid level
in the battery.
-The voltage of th e booster battery must also
have a 12-volt rating. The capacity (Ah) of
the booster battery should not be lower
than that of the discharged battery. Use of
batteries of different voltage or substantial­
ly different "Ah" rating may cause an exp lo­
sion and personal injury.
- Never
charge a frozen battery. Gas trapped
in the ice may cause an explosion.
- Never
charge or use a battery that has been
frozen. The battery case may have be weak­
ened.
-Use of batteries of different voltage or sub­
stantially different capacity (Ah) rating may
cause an explosion and injury. The capacity
(Ah)
of the booster battery should not be
lower than that of the discharged battery.
- Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed all
WARNINGS
~page 236.
CD Note
- Applying a higher voltage booster battery
will cause expensive damage to sensitive
electronic
components, such as control
units, relays, radio, etc.
-There must be no electrical contact between
the vehicles as otherwise current could al­
ready start to flow as soon as the positive
( +
)terminals are connected.
Tips
T he discharged battery must be properly con-
nected to the vehicle's electrical system. ~

CD Note
Improper hook-up of jumper cables can ruin
the generator.
- Always
connect P O SITIVE( +) to POSITIVE
(+),and N EGATIVE( -) to NEGATIVE( -)
ground post of the battery manager control
u
nit.
-
Check that a ll screw p lugs on the battery
cells are screwed in firmly . If not, tighten
plugs p rior to connecting clamp on negative
b at
tery te rminal.
- Pl
ease note that the procedure fo r con nect­
i ng a
jumper cable as describ ed above ap­
plies specifica lly
to the case of yo ur vehicle
being
jump started . When you are giv ing a
ju
mp start to another vehicle , d o not con­
n e
ct the negative(-) c a ble to the negative
(-) terminal o n the dis ch a rged battery @
¢ fig . 214. Instead , securely connect the
negative(-) cable to either a solid metal
component that is fir m ly bolted to the en­
gine block or
to the engine bloc k itself. If
the battery that is bei ng cha rged does not
vent to the outside, escaping battery gas
could ignite and exp lode!
Towing with a tow truck
General hints
Your Audi requires special handling for towing .
The follow ing information is to be used by com­
mercia l
tow truck operators who know how to op­
erate their equipment sa fe ly .

age to the engine and transmission.
- Never wrap
the safety chains or winch cables
around
the brake lines.
-
To prevent unnecessary damage, your Audi
must be transported with a flat bed truck.
-
To load the vehicle on to the flat bed, use the
towing loop found in the vehicle tools and at­
