- L Cooling syste m
• Turn off engine and check coolant level
T he coo l
ant level is too low.
Do not continue driving and switch the engine
off. Check the coolant level ¢ page 242.
-If the coolant level is too low, add coolant
¢page 242. Only continue driving once the in
dicator light turns off.
• Coolant temperature: too high. Let eng ine
run with vehicle stationary
Let the engine run at idle for a few minutes to
cool off, until the indicator light turns off.
-
If the indicator light does not turn off, do not
conti nue driving the vehicle. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility
for assistance.
A WARNING
[.=-
-Never open the hood if you can see or hear
steam or coolant escaping from the engine
compartment. This increases the risk of
burns. Wait until you no longer see or hear
steam or coolant escaping.
- The
engine compartment in any vehicle can
be a
dangerous area. Stop the engine and
allow it to cool before working in the engine
compartment. Always follow the informa
tion found in ¢page 236, Working in the
engine compartment.

-Do not alter or remove any component of
the Emission Control System unless ap
proved by the manufacturer.
-Do not alter or remove any device, such as
heat shields, switches, ignition wires,

are designed to protect your
vehicle's Emission

(D Tips
The consumption estimates as published by
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
(EPA) and Transport Canada may not corre
spond to your actual consumption on the
road, which will vary depending upon vehicle
load
and speed, road and weather conditions,
trip length, etc.
Steering
Adjusting the steering wheel position
The steering wheel position is fully adjustable up
and down and forward and back.
Fig. 59 Lever on the steering column
•Tilt the lever~ fig. 59 downward.~&,
• Bring the steering wheel into the desired posi
tion.
•Push the lever against the steering column un
til
it latches.
A WARNING
Incorrect use of the steering wheel adjust
ment and an incorrect seating position can
cause serious injuries.
-
Only adjust the steering column when the
vehicle is stationary so that you do not lose
control of the vehicle.
58
-1
-Adjust the driver's seat or steering wheel so
that there is at least a 10 in (25 cm) dis
tance between your chest and the steering
wheel. If you do not maintain this distance,
you will not be properly protected by the air
bag system.
-If your physical characteristics prevent you
from
sitting at least 10 in (25 cm) or more
away from the steering wheel, see if your
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility
can provide adapters that
will help.
-
If your face is level with the steering wheel,
the airbag does not provide as much protec
tion during a collision. Always make sure
that the steering wheel is level with your
chest.
-Always hold the steering wheel with your
hands in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi
tions to reduce the risk of injury ifthe airbag
deploys.
- Never hold
the steering wheel in the 12
o'clock position or with both hands on the
rim or the center of the steering wheel.
Holding
the steering wheel incorrectly sig
nificantly
increases the risk of injury to the
hands, arms and head if the airbag deploys.

brake pedal while doing this.
Starting the engine
"" Press the brake pedal and move the selector
lever
into the P or N position~.&_.
... Press the I START ENGINE STOPI button
~fig. 60. The engine will start.
If the engine should not start immediately, the
starting process is automatically stopped after a
short time. Repeat
the starting process.
.&. WARNING
-I
-Never allow the engine to run in confined
spaces -danger
of asp hyxia tion.
- Never
turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
- The brake booster and power steering only
work when
the engine is running. If the en
gine
is off, you have to use more force when
steering
or braking. Because you cannot
steer and brake
as you usually would, this
could lead to crashes and serious injuries.
CD Note
Avoid high engine speed, full throttle, and
heavy engine load
as long as the engine has
not reached operating temperature yet. You
could damage the engine.
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not let the engine run while parked to
warm up. Begin driving immediately. This re
duces unnecessary emission
s.
Tips
-Some noise after starting the engine is nor
mal and is no cause for concern.
-
If you leave the vehicle with the ignition
switched on,
the ignition will switch off af
ter a certain amount of time. Make sure that
electrical equipment such as the exterior
lights are switched off.
Driving
Stopping the engine
... Bring the vehicle to a full stop.
""Move the selector lever into the P position.
... Press the I START ENGINE STOPI button
~page 58, fig. 60.
Emergency off
If it is necessary in unusual circumstances, the
eng i
ne can be switched off while the vehicle is
moving. Briefly press the I START ENGINE STOPI
button twice in a row or press and hold for longer
than
two seconds.
.&. WARNING
!-='
- Never turn off the eng ine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
-
Please note that the brake booster and pow
er steering
only work when the engine is
r unn ing. When
the engine off, you must use
more force
to steer or brake the vehicle. Be
cause the usual steering and braking capa
bility is not available, the risk of accidents or
injuries increases.
- For safety reasons, always park
the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position.
Otherwise, there
is the risk that the vehicle
could roll.
-
After the engine has been switched off, the
radiator fan can continue to run for up to 10
minutes -even with the ignition switched
off. It can also switch on again after some
time if the coolant temperature rises as the
result of heat buildup or ifthe eng ine com
partment is heated by the sun's rays and the
engine is hot.
CD Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for
an extended period of time, heat builds up in
the engine compartment after the engine is
switched off -there is a risk of damaging the
engine. For this reason, let the engine run for
at idle for approximately two minutes before
shutting it off.

-If driver's door is opened while the ignition
is
switched on, the parking brake sets auto
matically. This prevents unintended rolling
of the vehicle.
- Occasional noises
when the parking brake is
applied
and released are normal and are not
a cause for concern.
-
When the vehicle is parked, the parking
brake goes through a self-test cycle at regu
lar intervals. Any noises associated with this
are normal.
-If the. (USA models) I. (Cana-
da models) indicator lights or llJ indicator
lig ht
turn on, there could be a malfunction
in the park ing brake ~page 11.
-If there is a power failure, the parking brake
