@ Key fob with vehicle code*
You can reveal the vehicle code* on the key fob by
rubbing off the coating. It is not, however, rele
vant for this vehicle.
Replacing a key
If you should lose a key, please contact an Audi
dealer. Have the remote control coding for that
key deactivated. For this purpose you should
bring all available keys with you. It is also impor
tant to notify your insurance company if a key has
been lost.
Number of keys
You can check how many keys are initialised for
your vehicle using the infotainment system. To
do so, select: I MENU I button >Car> left control
button > Servicing & checks > Car information.
This feature enables used car buyers to make
sure they have received all of the keys.
Electronic immobiliser
The immobiliser is designed to prevent unauthor
ised persons from driving the vehicle.
It may not be possible to start the engine with
the key if there is another remote control key
from a different make of vehicle on the same key
ring.
Data stored on remote control key
Data related to the service and maintenance of
the vehicle are stored continuously on your re
mote control key while you are driving. Your Audi
dealer can read out the data and will then be able
to tell you what service work is required. This also
applies to vehicles with convenience key*.
Personal convenience settings
If two people use the same car regularly, it is a
good idea for each person to have his or her
"own" remote control key. When you switch off
the ignition or lock the vehicle, your personal set
tings for the following convenience features are
stored and assigned to the remote control key:
- Air conditioner
- Parking aid*
- Active lane assist*
28 -
Side assist*
- Drive select
The stored settings are then recalled automati
cally the next time the vehicle is unlocked, the
doors are opened or the ignition is switched on.
A WARNING
Always take the key with you when leaving the
vehicle -even if you only intend to be gone for
a short time. This is especially important if
children are left in the car. They might other
wise be able to start the engine or use power
operated equipment such as the electric win
dows -this could lead to injuries.

Windscreen wipers
Switching on the windscreen wipers
Fig. 48 Windscreen wiper lever
Move the windscreen wiper lever to the appropri
ate position:
@- Wipers off
CD- Intermittent wipe. Move switch @ to the left
or to the right to increase or reduce the wiper de
lay interval. If your vehicle is equipped with the
rain sensor*, the windscreen wipers will be acti
vated automatically in the rain as long as the ve
hicle has been moving faster than approx. 4 km/
ha t least once. The higher the sensitivity level for
the rain sensor* is (i.e. the further to the right
the position of switch @ is), the sooner the wind
screen wipers react to moisture on the wind
screen. You can deactivate the rain sensor mode*
on the infotainment system (this will activate the
intermittent wipe mode). Select the following on
the infotainment system: !MENU! button> Car >
left control button > Driver assist> Rain sensor >
off.
@- Slow wipe
@ -Fast wipe
@ -Single wipe. If you hold the lever in this posi
tion, the wipers will switch from slow continuous
wiping to fast continuous wiping after a while.
® -Wash/wipe. The screen is given an extra wipe
a few seconds later to remove any dribbles of wa
ter (if the vehicle is moving and the temperature
is above approx. 4 °C). You can deactivate this
function by moving the lever to position @again
within 10 seconds after the extra wipe. The ex-
so tra-wipe
function is activated again the next time
you switch on the ignition.
Headlight washers*. The headlight washer sys
tem* only operates when the lights are switched
on. The headlights are automatically washed the
first time and every fifth time you move the lever
to position ®·
A WARNING
- The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver is still obliged to man
ually operate the windscreen wipers as re
quired depending on visibility.
- Do not use water-repellent coatings on the
windscreen. In bad visibility conditions such
as light rain, low sun or when driving at
night these coatings can cause increased
dazzle, which is a serious safety hazard.
Such coatings can also cause the wiper
blades to judder.
- Poor visibility can cause accidents. Always
ensure that the wiper blades are in good
condition ¢ page 51, Changing the wind
screen wiper blades.
CD CAUTION
- In icy conditions, check that the wiper
blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If
the wiper blades are frozen to the wind
screen when you switch on the windscreen
wipers, this could damage the wiper blades.
- Make sure you switch off the windscreen
wiper system (lever in position 0) before you
use an automatic car wash. This will avoid
inadvertent triggering of the wipers and
possible damage to the wiper system.
i Note
- The windscreen wipers are deactivated
when the ignition is switched off. You can
activate the windscreen wipers after switch
ing the ignition on again by moving the
windscreen wiper lever to any position.
- Worn or dirty wiper blades can cause smear
ing on the glass. This can also impair the ef
fectiveness of the rain sensor*. Please check
the wiper blades regularly. ______ �

General notes
Running in
A new vehicle should be run in over a distance of
1,500 km. For the first 1,000 km the engine
speed should not exceed 2/3 of the maximum
permissible engine speed -do not use full throt
tle. From 1,000 to 1,500 km you can gradually
increase the engine rpm and road speed.
During its first few hours of running, the internal
friction in the engine is greater than later on
when all the moving parts have bedded down.
How the vehicle is driven for the first 1,500 km
also influences the engine quality. After this peri
od you should continue driving at moderate en
gine speeds, in particular when the engine is
cold. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the
engine and increases the potential mileage which
can be covered by the engine.
You should also avoid driving with the engine
speed too low. Change down to a lower gear
when the engine no longer runs "smoothly". Ex
cessively high engine speeds are prevented by an
automatic rev limiter.
Letting the engine warm up/cool down
Applies to: Sand RS models
You can reduce the amount of wear and tear on
your vehicle during a sporty driving session sim
ply by adopting a more restrained driving style
while the engine is warming up and cooling
down.
When the engine is cold, the engine speed is limi
ted so that the full range of engine power is not
available. Once the engine has reached operating
temperature, the rev Limit moves to a higher
range of engine speeds. In addition, the tyres will
not develop their full grip potential until they
have had a chance to warm up on the road.
Even though the engine continues to be cooled
after you switch it off, it is particularly important
to give it time to cool down before parking. The
engine, brakes, exhaust system and gearbox will
66 all
reach very high temperatures when you adopt
a sporty driving style. Before you park the vehi
cle, allow it to cool down to normal temperature
by driving at moderate engine speeds for several
miles.
Avoiding damage to the car
CD CAUTION
Take care not to damage low-mounted parts
of the car (such as the spoiler or exhaust sys
tem) on steep ramps, uneven road surfaces or
roadside kerbs, etc. This applies especially to
vehicles with low ground clearance and to all
vehicles when fully laden.
Driving through water on roads
Please note the following in order to prevent
damage to the vehicle when driving through wa
ter (e.g. on flooded roads):
- The water level must not be higher than the ve
hicle's underbody.
- Do not drive faster than walking pace.
A WARNING
After driving through water, mud, sludge,
etc., the braking effect can be delayed slightly
due to moisture on the discs and brake pads.
Applying the brakes carefully several times
will remove the moisture and restore the full
braking effect.
CD CAUTION
- Parts of the vehicle (e.g. engine, gearbox,
running gear or electrical components) can
be badly damaged when driving through
water.
- Always switch off the start/stop system*
¢ page 71 before driving through water.
i Note
- It is advisable to check the depth at the
deepest point before approaching the wa
ter.

CX) -
Do NOT stop the vehicle, drive in reverse or
switch off the engine before you are out of
the water.
- Bear in mind that waves created by oncom
ing traffic could exceed the permissible
wading depth of your vehicle.
- Avoid driving through salt water (corrosion).
How to improve economy and minimise
pollution
Fuel economy, environmental impact and wear
on the engine, brakes and tyres depend largely
on the way you drive the vehicle. By adopting an
economical driving style and anticipating the
traffic situation ahead, you can reduce fuel con
sumption by 10-15%. The following section gives
you some tips on lessening the impact on the en
vironment and reducing your operating costs at
the same time.
Anticipate well in advance
A car uses most fuel when accelerating. If you an
ticipate hazards and speed changes well in ad
vance, you will need to brake less and thus accel
erate less. Wherever possible, let the car slow
down gradually with a gear engaged, for in
stance when you can see that the next traffic
lights are red.
Change gear early to save fuel
An effective way of saving fuel is to change up
quickly through the gears. Running the engine at
high rpm in the lower gears uses an unnecessary
amount of fuel. Press the accelerator slowly and
avoid using the "kick-down" feature.
Avoid driving at high speed
Avoid travelling at top speed. Fuel consumption,
exhaust emissions and noise levels all increase
very rapidly at higher speeds. Driving at moder
ate speeds will help to save fuel.
Do not let the engine idle for longer than
necessary
Engine idling periods are automatically reduced
on vehicles with start/stop system*. On vehicles
without start/stop system*, it is worthwhile
switching off the engine at level crossings, for in- Driving
stance, or at traffic lights with a long red phase.
The fuel saved after only 30 -40 seconds is
greater than the amount of fuel needed to re
start the engine.
The engine takes a very long time to warm up
when it is running at idling speed. Mechanical
wear and pollutant emissions are also especially
high during this initial warm-up phase. It is
therefore best to drive off immediately after
starting the engine. Avoid running the engine at
high speed.
Regular servicing
Regular servicing can establish a basis for good
fuel economy before you start driving. A well
serviced engine gives you the benefit of im
proved fuel efficiency as well as maximum relia
bility and an enhanced resale value.
A poorly maintained engine can consume up to
ten percent more fuel than necessary.
Check the oil level when filling the tank. Oil con
sumption depends to a great extent on the en
gine load and engine speed. It is quite normal
that the oil consumption of a new engine only
reaches its lowest level after a certain mileage.
This means that the oil consumption can only be
properly assessed after about 5,000 km.
Avoid short trips
The engine and emission control system need to
reach their proper working temperature in order
to minimise fuel consumption and emissions.
A cold engine uses disproportionately more fuel.
The engine only reaches its working temperature
after about four kilometres, when fuel consump
tion will return to a normal level.
Check tyre pressures
Always make sure the tyres are inflated to the
correct tyre pressures to save fuel. If the tyre
pressures are just 0.5 bar too low, this can in
crease the fuel consumption by as much as 5 %.
Due to the greater rolling resistance, under-infla
tion also increases tyre wear and impairs han
dling.
67
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driving
The tyre pressures should always be checked
when the tyres are cold.
Do not use winter tyres all through the year; they
will increase fuel consumption by up to 10 %.
Avoid carrying unnecessary loads
Every kilo of extra weight will increase the fuel
consumption, so it is worth checking the luggage
compartment occasionally to make sure that no
unnecessary loads are being transported.
Save electrical energy
The engine drives the alternator to generate elec
tricity. This means that fuel consumption rises
when more power is required for electrical equip
ment. Switch off electrical equipment when it is
not needed. Electrical equipment which uses a
lot of electricity includes the blower (at a high
setting), the rear window heating and the seat
heating*.
Steering Adjusting the steering wheel position
The height and reach of the steering wheel can
be adjusted as required to suit the driver.
