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.

tance.
� Steering: fault. You can continue driving
If the indicator lamp lights up, the steering re

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.

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) Winter
tyres
Thanks to its four-wheel drive, your car will have
plenty of traction in winter conditions, even with
the standard tyres. Nevertheless, we still recom
mend that winter tyres or all-season tyres should
be fitted on all four wheels when winter road
conditions are expected, mainly because this will
give a better braking response.
Snow chains
On roads where snow chains are mandatory, this
also applies to cars with four-wheel drive
¢ page 2 5 7, Snow chains.
Replacing tyres
On vehicles with four-wheel drive, all four tyres
must have the same rolling circumference. Also
avoid using tyres with varying tread depths
¢ page 254, New wheels or tyres.
Off-roader?
Your Audi does not have enough ground clear
ance to be used as an off-road vehicle. It is there
fore best to avoid rough tracks and uneven ter
rain as much as possible.
A WARNING
- Even with four-wheel drive, you should al
ways adjust your speed to suit the condi
tions. Do not Let the extra safety provided
tempt you into taking any risks when driving
- this can cause accidents.
- The braking ability of your car is limited by
the grip of the tyres. In this respect, your
car is no different from a car without four
wheel drive. So do not be tempted to drive
too fast on icy or slippery roads just because
the car still has good acceleration in these
conditions -risk of accident!
- On wet roads bear in mind that the front
wheels may start to "aquaplane" and Lose
contact with the road if the car is driven too
fast. If this should happen, there will be no
sudden increase in engine speed to warn the
driver, as with a front-wheel drive car. So do
not drive too fast in the wet: adjust your
speed to suit the conditions (accident risk). Intelligent

Rear spoiler
Applies to: vehicles with automatic rear spoiler
The automatic rear spoiler increases the car's
stability.
Fig. 122 Centre console: Button for rear spoiler
The rear spoiler can be extended or retracted
manually or automatically.
Automatic mode (normal operation)
- Automatic extension: The rear spoiler is auto
matically extended at road speeds above ap
proximately 120 km/h.
-Automatic retraction: The rear spoiler is auto
matically retracted at road speeds below ap
proximately 80 km/h.
Manual mode
- Manual extension: Briefly press the button
¢Fig. 122 to extend the rear spoiler all the way
out.
- Manual retraction: At road speeds up to about
20 km/h, press and hold the button to retract
the rear spoiler. At road speeds between
20 km/h and 120 km/h, press the button brief
ly to retract the rear spoiler all the way back.

belts
Even at urban speeds of 30 km/h to 50 km/h, the
forces acting on the occupants in a collision can
reach the equivalent of 1 ton (1,000 kg) or more.
At greater speed these forces are even higher.
Again: if the speed doubles, the forces increase
by a factor of four.
Passengers who do not wear seat belts are not
"attached" to the vehicle. In a frontal collision
they will continue to move forward at the speed
their car was travelling just before the impact.
What happens to passengers not wearing
seat belts?
Passengers not wearing seat belts risk fatal inju
ries in the event of an accident.
Fig. 191 A driver not wearing a seat belt can be thrown
forwards
In a frontal collision, unbelted passengers will be
thrown forwards and make violent contact with
the steering wheel, dashboard, windscreen, etc
¢ Fig. 191. Passengers not wearing their belts
risk being thrown out of the car. This could result
in potentially fatal injuries.
The common belief that occupants can brace
their weight with their hands in a minor collision
is false. Even at Low speeds the forces acting on
the body in a collision are so great that it is not
possible to hold yourself in the seat.
232 How
to wear seat belts
properly

.. Insert the latch plate into the buckle for the ap
propriate seat and push it down until it is se
curely locked with an audible click.

tened.
The three-point inertia reel belts are tensioned

Wheels
Tyres and rims
General notes
� Inspect the tyres regularly for damage (cuts,
cracks or blisters, etc.). Remove any foreign
bodies embedded in the treads.
� If you have to drive over a kerb or similar obsta
cle, drive very slowly and as near as possible at
a right angle to the kerb.
� Damaged rims or tyres must be replaced imme
diately.
� Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.
� Mark
the wheels before taking them off so that
they rotate in the same direction when refitted.
� When removed, the wheels should be stored
flat in a cool, dry and preferably dark place.
CD CAUTION
- Please note that summer and winter tyres
are optimised for the prevailing road condi
tions at different times of year. We recom
mend that you use winter tyres during the
winter months. At low temperatures, sum
mer tyres lose their elasticity and grip, and
braking performance also suffers as a re
sult. Cracks can form in the tread block on
summer tyres if they are used at very cold
temperatures, and this can cause perma
nent damage to the tyres. An increase in
rolling noise and tyre imbalance may result
from this damage.
- Machined, polished or chrome-plated rims
must not be used in winter conditions. The
process used to manufacture these types of
wheel rim does not provide adequate sur
face protection against corrosion, and the
rims can be permanently damaged by road
salt or similar.
New wheels or tyres
It is best to have all servicing of wheels and tyres
performed by a qualified workshop, since they
l l
COC = Certificate of conformity
254 have
the necessary special tools and replacement
parts in addition to trained personnel.
� New tyres do not yet give maximum grip. When
driving with new tyres, drive at moderate
speeds and be especially careful during the first
500 km.
� All four wheels must be fitted with tyres of the
same type, size (rolling circumference) and
preferably the same tread pattern.
� Tyres should be replaced in pairs and not indi
vidually (i.e. both front tyres or both rear tyres
together).
� We recommend the use of Audi Genuine Tyres.
If you wish to use other tyres, please note that
the actual size can differ from the nominal size
marked on the tyre ¢ A .
� If you wish to purchase a different combination
of rims and tyres than the ones fitted on the ve
hicle during production, it is advisable to con
sult a qualified workshop beforehand ¢ A.
The sizes of the rims and tyres approved for your
vehicle are listed in the vehicle's documents (e.g.
EC Certificate of Conformity or COC document l)).
The vehicle documents vary depending on the
country in which the vehicle is registered.
If the spare wheel* is not the same type as the
tyres fitted on the car (for example if the car has
winter tyres or wide-section tyres) you should on
ly use the spare wheel* if a puncture occurs, and
then only for a short period of time. In this case,
please drive with extra care. Refit a normal road
wheel as soon as possible.
On vehicles with four-wheel drive, all four wheels
must always be fitted with tyres of the same
type, make and tread pattern, as the driveline
could otherwise be damaged by variations in the
wheel speeds. For the same reason, only use a
spare wheel* which has the same rolling circum
ference as the normal road wheels.
Manufacturing date
The manufacturing date is indicated on the tyre
sidewall (possibly only on the inner side of the
wheel): ..,.
