Automatic activation
The parking aid is activated automatically when
the vehicle approaches an obstacle from a dis
tance of approx. 95 cm at speeds below 10 km/h.
You will hear the warning beeps when the obsta
cle is within a distance of approx. 50 cm. If the
parking aid is switched off by pressing the P,#A.
button, it is only reactivated automatically if one
of the following conditions has been met:
- The vehicle is driven faster than 10 km/h.
- The ignition is switched off and on again.
- The parking brake is applied and released
again.
- Position Pis selected (automatic gearbox).
Segments in the graphic display
You can estimate the distance to an obstacle by
referring to the segments in front of and behind
the vehicle (vehicles with parking system plus*)
or the segments surrounding the vehicle
(vehicles with park assist*) ¢Fig. 108. The red
lines indicate the anticipated path of the vehicle,
depending on the steering wheel angle. A white
segment indicates an obstacle that has been de
tected beyond the path of travel. Red segments
represent objects detected within the path of
travel. The closer the vehicle gets to the obstacle
the closer the segments move towards the vehi
cle in the graphic. At the latest when the penulti
mate segment is highlighted the vehicle has
reached the danger (collision) zone. Obstacles
within the danger (collision) zone are shown in
red, even if they are beyond the path of travel.

WARNING
You should switch on the sport mode or
switch off the ESC/traction control system
(ASR) only if your driving ability and the traf
fic conditions allow you to do so safely -dan
ger of skidding!
- The stabilising function is restricted when
sport mode is switched on. The driven
wheels may start to spin, causing the vehi
cle to lose grip, in particular on slippery or
wet roads.
- When the ESC/traction control system
(ASR) is switched off, the vehicle will not be
stabilised.
@ Note
- The ESC/traction control system (ASR) can
not be switched off and the sport mode can
not be switched on when the cruise control
system* is on.
- In the event of a malfunction in the rear
spoiler system or the Audi magnetic ride, it
may not be possible to switch off the ESC/
ASR or switch on the sport mode.
Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not give full braking effect for
the first 400 km, they must first be "bedded in".
However, you can compensate for the slightly re
duced braking effect by applying more pressure
on the brake pedal. Avoid placing a heavy load on
the brakes during the running-in period.
Wear
The rate of wear on the brake pads depends a
great deal on how you drive and the conditions in
which the vehicle is operated. Negative factors
are, for instance, city traffic, frequent short trips
or hard driving with abrupt starts and stops.
Noises
Brake noise may develop in certain situations, de
pending on the speed, braking force and ambient
conditions (such as temperature and relative hu
midity). Intelligent
technology
Effect of moisture and salt
In certain conditions, such as in heavy rain, early
morning dew, or after washing the car or driving
through water, the full braking effect can be de
layed by moisture (or in winter by ice) on the
discs and brake pads. The brakes should be
"dried" by pressing the pedal to restore full brak
ing effect.
When you are driving at higher speeds with the
windscreen wipers on, the brake pads are very
briefly brought into contact with the brake discs.
This automatic process which goes unnoticed by
the driver is carried out at regular intervals and is
intended to improve braking response in wet con
ditions.
The effectiveness of the brakes can also be tem
porarily reduced if the car is driven for some dis
tance without using the brakes when there is a
lot of salt on the road in winter. The layer of salt
that accumulates on the discs and pads can be
removed with a few cautious brake applications.
Corrosion
There may be a tendency for dirt to build up on
the brake pads and corrosion to form on the discs
if the car is used infrequently, or if you only drive
low mileages without using the brakes very
much.
If the brakes are not used frequently, or if corro
sion has formed on the discs, it is advisable to
clean off the pads and discs by braking firmly a
few times from a moderately high speed ¢ A.
Faults in the brake system
If the brake pedal travel should ever increase
suddenly, this may mean that one of the two
brake circuits has failed. Drive immediately to the
nearest qualified workshop and have the fault
rectified. On the way to the dealer, be prepared
to use more pressure on the brake pedal and al
low for longer stopping distances.
Low brake fluid level
Malfunctions can occur in the brake system if the
brake fluid level is too low. The brake fluid level
is monitored electronically.
llll-

technology
Brake servo
The brake servo amplifies the pressure you apply
to the brake pedal.
A WARNING
- When applying the brakes to clean off de
posits on the pads and discs, select a clear,
dry road. Be sure not to inconvenience or en
danger other road users; do not risk an acci
dent.
- Never let the car coast with the engine
switched off (this can cause accidents).
CD CAUTION
- Never let the brakes "drag" by leaving your
foot on the pedal
when
you do not really in
tend to brake. This overheats the brakes, re
sulting in longer stopping distances and
greater wear.
- Before driving down a long, steep gradient,
it is advisable to reduce speed and select a
lower gear. In this way you will make use of
the engine braking effect and relieve the
load on the brakes. If you still have to use
the brakes, it is better to brake firmly at in
tervals than to apply the brakes continuous
ly.
� Note
-If the brake servo is out of action, you must
apply considerably more pressure to the
brake pedal than you normally would.
- If you wish to equip the car with accessories
such as a front spoiler or wheel covers, it is
important that the flow of air to the front
wheels is not obstructed, otherwise the
brakes can overheat.
Electro-mechanical
power steering
Electro-mechanical power steering assists the
driver when steering.
The degree of power assistance is adapted elec
tronically, depending on the speed.
116 Warning/indicator
lamps and driver
messages
• Steering: fault. Please stop vehicle
If the warning lamp Lights up permanently and
the message appears, there may be a power
steering failure.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place as soon as possi
ble. Do NOT drive on. Obtain professional assis
tance.
� Steering: fault. You can continue driving
If the indicator lamp lights up, the steering re
sponse may be heavier or Lighter than usual. In
addition, it is possible that the steering wheel
will be off centre when driving in a straight Line.
Drive slowly to a qualified workshop and have the
fault rectified.
('!)) Note
You can drive on if the warning/indicator
lamp . or� Lights up only briefly.
Four-wheel drive
(quattro)
Applies to: vehicles with four-wheel drive
On quattro models the engine power is distrib
uted to all four wheels.
General notes
On four-wheel drive vehicles, the engine power is
distributed to all four wheels. The distribution of
power is controlled automatically according to
your driving style and the road conditions. Also
refer to¢ page 113, Electronic stabilisation con
trol (ESC).
The four-wheel drive is specially designed to
complement the superior engine power of your
Audi. This combination gives the car exceptional
handling and performance capabilities -both on
normal roads and in more difficult conditions,
such as snow and ice. Even so (or perhaps espe
cially for this reason), it is important to observe
certain safety points¢&.

CX) consumed,
but only a small amount is supplied.
The situation is also critical if electrical equip
ment is in use when the engine is not running. In
this case power is consumed when none is being
generated.
In these situations you will be aware that the
power management system is intervening to con
trol the distribution of electrical power.
When the vehicle is parked for long periods
If you do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are
using. This limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
long period. Certain convenience features, such
as remote control unlocking, may not be availa
ble. These functions will be restored when you
switch on the ignition and start the engine.
With the engine switched off
If you listen to the radio or use the other info
tainment functions when the engine is not run
ning, this will discharge the vehicle battery.
The infotainment display will show a warning
message before the battery power drops to a lev
el where the starting ability is impaired. This
message warns you that the system you are using
will soon be switched off automatically. You
should therefore start the engine if you wish to
continue using the system.
When the engine is running
Although the alternator generates electrical
power, the vehicle battery can still become dis
charged while the vehicle is being driven. This can
occur when a lot of power is being consumed but
only a small amount supplied, especially if the
vehicle battery is not fully charged initially.
To restore the necessary energy balance, the sys
tem will then temporarily shut off the electrical
components that are using a lot of power, or re
duce the current they are consuming. Heating
systems in particular use a large amount of elec
trical power. If you notice, for instance, that the
seat heating* or the rear window heater is not Intelligent
technology
working, they may have been temporarily switch
ed off or regulated to a lower heat output. These
systems will be available again as soon as suffi
cient electrical power is available.
You may also notice that the engine runs at a
slightly faster idling speed. This is quite normal,
and no cause for concern. The increased idling
speed allows the alternator to meet the greater
power requirement and charge the vehicle bat
tery at the same time.
Information saved in the
control units
The vehicle is fitted in the factory with electronic
control units that, among other things, control
the engine and the gearbox. The control units al
so monitor the exhaust system and the airbags.
The control units continually analyse data rele
vant to the vehicle while you are driving. In the
event of faults or anomalies in the vehicle data,
only these data are saved. As a rule, faults are
shown by the warning lamps in the instrument
cluster.
Data saved in the control units can only be read
and analysed with special equipment.
A qualified workshop is only able to recognise
and deal with faults by using the relevant saved
data. Among other things, the saved data may
contain the following information:
- Data relating to the engine and the gearbox
-Speed
- Direction of travel
- Braking force
- Seat belt warning system data
The control units installed will not under any cir
cumstances record conversations in the vehicle.
Event data recorder
Your vehicle is not equipped with an event data
recorder.
In an event data recorder, information about
the
vehicle is temporarily saved. In the event of an
accident, you can therefore obtain detailed infor-
mation about the course of events. On vehicles ...,.
