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. ..,.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine @ Tips
-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. .,..

Assist
Electronic speed limiter
Your vehicle may be factory equipped with tires
that are rated for a maximum speed of 130 mph
(210 km/h). This is less than the maximum speed
of your vehicle. To reduce the risk of sudden tire
failure and loss of control if the vehicle is operat­
ed at excessive speeds, your vehicle also has an
electronic speed limiter. The electronic speed
limiter prevents your vehicle from going faster
than the tire speed rating. For more information
9page257.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle
road
speed s ignals, the Malfunction In d icator
Lamp (MIL) m will illuminate. If this occurs,
contact the nearest authorized Audi dealer for
assistance.
. _&WARNING
Always observe the posted speed limits and
adjust your speed to suit prevailing road, traf­
fic and weather conditions. Never drive your
vehicle faster than the maximum speed rating
of the tires installed.
Speed warning system
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning system
The speed warning system helps you to stay un­
der a specified maximum speed.
The speed warning system warns you if yo u are
exceeding
the max imum speed that you have set.
You will hear a warning tone when your speed ex­
ceeds the stored value by approximately 3 mph
(3 km/h). The (e] indicator light turns on at the
same time in the Infotainment display. The[•)
indicator light turns off when the speed decreas­
es below the stored maximum speed.
Setting a threshold is recommended if you would
like to be reminded when you reach a certain
maximum speed. Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gener­
al speed limit or if there is a specified maximum
speed for winter tires.

('D Tips
Regard less of the speed warning system, you
should always monitor your speed using the
speedometer and make sure you are following
the legal speed limit.
Setting the threshold
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning system
You can set, change and delete the warning
threshold
in the Infotainment system.
... Select in the Infotainment system: I MENU! but­
ton> Vehicl e> left control button >Dr ive r as­
sistance > Speed warnin g .
You can set any threshold between 20 mph
(30 km/h) and lSO mph (240 km/h). Settings
can each be adjusted in increments of 5 mph
(10 km/h) .
Cruise control system
Switching on
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
The cruise control system makes it possible to
drive
at a constant speed starting ot 15 mph
(20 km/h).

If the indicator light turns on, the steering wheel
may be more difficult to move or more sensitive
than usual. The steering wheel may also be at an
angle when driving straight.
Drive slow ly to an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility to have the mal­
function corrected.
@ Tips
If the. or '~ij indicator light only stays on
for a short time, you may continue driving.
ALL wheel drive (quattro)
In all wheel drive, all four wheels ore powered.
General information
In all wheel drive, the driving power is divided be­
tween all four wheels. This happens automatical­
ly depending on your driving behavior as well as
the current road conditions. c::> page 87, Electron­
ic
stabilization control (ESC).
The all wheel drive concept is designed for high
engine power. Your vehicle is exceptionally pow­
erful and has excellent driving characteristics
both under normal driving conditions and on
snow and ice. Always read and follow safety pre­
cautions c::> &..
Winter tires
By using all wheel drive, your vehicle has good
forward motion with standard tires in winter con­
ditions. However,
in winter we recommend using
winter or all season tires on all four wheels, be­
cause this will improve the broking effect.
Snow chains
If there are snow chain laws, snow chains must
also be used on vehicles with all wheel drive
c::> page 265, Snow chains.
Replacing tires
For vehicles with all wheel drive, only wheels with
the same rolling circumference should be used.
Avoid
wheels with different tread depths
c::> page 257, New tires or wheels.
Intelligent Technology
Offroad vehicle?
Your Audi is not an offroad vehicle -there is not
enough ground clearance. For this reason, avoid
difficult
terrain.
&,,!!_ARNING
-I
-Also, in vehicles with all wheel drive, adapt
your driving style to the current road and
traffic conditions. Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into taking risks,
because this increases the risk of an acc i­
dent.
- The braking ability
of your vehicle is limited
to the traction of the wheels. In this way, it
is not different from a two wheel drive vehi­
cle.
Do not be tempted to accelerate to a
h
igh speed when the road is slippery this in­
creases the risk of an accident.
- Note
that on wet streets, the front wheels
can "hydrop lane" if driving at speeds that
are too high. Unlike front wheel drive
veh icl
es, the engine does not rev higher sud­
denly when the vehicle begins hydroplaning .
For
this reason, pay attention to the road
conditions
regard less of your speed.
Rear spoiler
The extendoble rear spoiler increases driving sta­
bility.

The rear spoiler retracts and extends. It can be
activated in various operating modes (manual
mode or automatic mode) .

A WARNING
r-=-
To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from
being drawn into the vehicle, always keep the
rear lid closed while driving.
- Never
transport objects larger than those
fitting completely into the luggage area be­
cause the rear lid cannot be fully closed.
-
If you absolutely must drive with the rear lid
open, observe the following notes to reduce
the risk of poisoning:
-
Close all windows,
-
Open all air outlets in the instrument pan-
el,
-Switch off the air recirculation,
-
Set the fresh air fan to the highest speed.
A WARNING
Always make sure that the doors, all windows
and the rear lid are securely closed and locked
to reduce the risk of injury when the vehicle is
not being used.
- After closing
the rear lid, always make sure
that it is properly closed and locked.
- Never leave your vehicle
unattended espe­
cially with the rear lid left open. A child
could crawl into
the vehicle through the lug­
gage compartment and close the rear lid be­
coming trapped and unable to get out. Be­
ing trapped in a vehicle can lead to serious
personal injury.
- Nev er
let children play in or around the vehi­
cle.
- Never
let passengers ride in the luggage
compartment. Vehicle occupants must al­
ways be properly restrained in one of the ve­
hicle's seating positions.
(D Tips
-Air circulation helps to reduce window fog­
ging. Stale air escapes to the outside
through vents in the trim panel, on the left
side of the luggage compartment. Be sure
to keep these slots free and open.
Safe driving
-The tire pressure must correspond to the
load. The tire pressure is shown on the tire
pressure label. The tire pressure label is lo­
cated on the driver's side B-pillar. The tire
pressure label lists the recommended cold
tire inflation
pressures for the vehicle at its
maximum capacity
weight and the tires that
were on your vehicle at the time it was man­
ufactured. For recommended tire pressures
for normal load conditions, please see chap­
ter r:;. page 261.
Tie-down s
The luggage compartment is equipped with four
ti e-downs to secure luggage
and other items.
Fig. 144 Location of the tie-downs in the luggage com­
partment
Use the tie-downs to secure your cargo properly
r:;. page 176, Loading the luggage compartment.
In a collision, the laws of physics mean that even
smaller items that are loose in the vehicle will
become heavy missiles that can cause serious in­
jury . Items in the vehicle possess energy which
vary with vehicle
speed and the weight of the
item. Vehicle speed is the most significant factor.
For example, in a frontal collision at a speed of
30 mph (48 km/h), the forces acting on a 10 lbs
(4.5 kg) object
are about 20 times the normal
weight of the item. This means that the weight
of the item would suddenly be about
200 lbs (90 kg). You can imagine the injuries that
a 200 lbs (90 kg) item flying freely through the
passenger compartment could cause in a colli­
sion like this.

General information
.,.Check your tires regularly for
damage (punctures, cuts, cracks
and bulges). Remove foreign ob­
jects from the tire tread.
.,. If driving over curbs or similar
obstacles, drive slowly and ap­
proach the curb at an angle.
.,.Have faulty tires or rims re­
placed
immediately.
.,.Protect your tires from oil,
grease and fuel.
.,.Mark tires before removing
them so that the same running
direction can
be maintained if
they are reinstalled .
... Lay tires flat when storing and
store them in a cool, dry location
with
as little exposure to light as
possible.
CD Note
-Please note that summer and
winter tires are designed for
the conditions that are typical
in those seasons. Audi recom­
mends using winter tires dur­
ing the winter months. Low
temperatures significantly de­
crease the elasticity of summ­
er tires, which affects traction
250
and braking ability. If summer
tires are used in very cold
temperatures, cracks can form
on the tread bars, resulting in
permanent tire damage that
can cause loud driving noise
and unbalanced tires.
-Burnished, polished or
chromed rims must not be
used in winter driving condi­
tions. The surface of the rims
does not have sufficient corro­
sion
protection for this and
could be permanently dam­
aged by road salt or similar
substances.
