This message appears if the high voltage battery
charge level is too low. The vehicle can no longer
be started with its own power. The high voltage
battery must be charged with a charger or the ve­
h icle must be jump started with the aid of anoth­
er vehicle.
After the connecting the charger or jumper ca­
bles, the ignition must be turned off for approxi­
mately two minutes and then turned on again .
After no more than one m inute, one of the fol­
lowing indicator lights turns on in the instrument

the vehicle is be ing jump started with assistance
from another veh icle .
If the 12 volt batteries are dead, the- indi­
cator light turns on . The charging procedure
takes longer in this case because the 12 volt bat­
ter ies are charged first. The procedure goes fast­

may happen if the charger or the battery in the
veh icle that is assisting is too weak.
If the veh icle
can not be started, see an authorized repa ir facil i­
ty for ass istanc e.
(D Tips
-The charger should deliver a current of at
l east 30 A. Otherwise charging the high
voltage battery will take considerably Ion-
108
ger. A current between 50 A and 70 A is ide ­
al.
- Th e veh icle that is assisting should be some­
what within the same vehicle class when
jump starting a vehicle. A smaller vehicle's
battery may be drained.
- After approximately 30 minutes, the charg­
ing procedure ends because the ignit ion is
automatically turned off. If you would like
to cont inue to charge the battery, turn the
ignition on again.

Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
Drive select provides the possibility to experience
d ifferent types of vehicle settings in one veh icle.
F or instance, using the three
Comfort, Auto and
Dynamic modes, the driver can switch from a
sporty to a comfortable driving mode with the
press of a button.
Addit ionally, in vehicles with MM I*, the vehicle
setup for Individual* mode can be customized by
you. This makes it possible to combine settings such as a sporty engine tuning with comfortable
steering .
A WARNING
-
Improper use of the drive select can cause
collisions, other accidents and serious person­
al injury .
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
The vehicle setup in each mode depends on the
veh icle's features . However, the engine, auto­
mat ic transmission and steering are a lways in­
volved.
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode, the engine and the au ­
tomatic transmission respond quicker or in a
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements . In the sporty dynamic mode, the au­
tomatic transmission shifts at higher RPMs.
Steering
The steering adapts in terms of steering effort
and steering ratios. Indirect steer ing that moves
easi ly, like the steering in comfort mode, is best
suited to long drives on a highway. In contrast,
dynamic mode provides sporty, direct steering.
The follow ing applies to vehicles with dynam ic
steer ing*: the stee ring rat io changes based on
veh icle speed in order to ma inta in optim um
steer ing effort for the driver at all times. This
122
sets the steering to be less sensitive at higher
speeds in order to provide improved vehicle con­
tro l. At reduced speeds, however, steering is
more direct in order to keep the steering effort as
minimal as possible when the driver is maneuver­
ing the vehicle . At low and average speeds, dy­
nam ic steering addit ionally prov ides more re­
spons ive steering performance .
Adaptive dampers*
The adaptive dampers* use sensors to record in­
formation regarding steering movements, brak­ ing and acceleration operations by the driver,
road surface, driving speed, and load . This makes
i t possible to adapt damp ing to the driving situa­
tion virtually in real time . Drive select also makes
i t possible to sat isfy the desire for sporty suspen­
sion (Dynamic) and comfortable suspension
(Comfort) without giving up balanced tuning (Au­
to).
Engine sound*
The sound of the eng ine is adapted to the select­
ed mode and ranges from subtle to sporty.
Adaptive cruise control*
The behavior whe n accelerating can be adjusted
from comfortable to sporty, depending on the
drive select mode. Adaptive cruise control also
r esponds to the driv ing behavior of the vehicle
ahead in a more conservative or sporty manner .
(D Tips
- In some models, the maximum vehicle
speed can only be reached in the
Auto and
Dynamic modes.
- Selecting the
Dynamic mode results in spo r­
ty shifting characteristics. The S gear posi­
tion engages automatically.
- In veh icles that have dynamic steering*, op­
erating noise is heard when starting or stop­
ping the engine. This does not indicate a
prob lem.

Electronic Stabilization
Control (ESC)
Description
The Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) reinfor­
ces driver safety . It reduces the risk of slipping
and improves driving stability. ESC detects crit i­
cal s ituations such as the vehicle oversteering
and understeering or the wheels sp inning. The
veh icle is stab ilized by applying the brakes or re­
ducing engine torque . Once t he ESC is active, the
indicator light
Ji) blinks in t he instrument clus­
ter.
The fo llow ing systems are integrated in the ESC :
Ant i-loc k brake system (ABS)
ABS preve nts the wheels from locking up when
braking. The veh icle can still be steered even dur­
ing hard brak ing. Apply steady pressure to the
brake pedal. Do not pump t he pedal. A pulsing in
the brake pedal indicates that the system is help ­
i n g you to brake the vehicle .
Br ake assist system
The brake assist system can decrease brak ing dis­
tance . It increases braking power when the driver
presses the brake pedal quick ly in emergency sit­
uations . You must press and hold the b rake pedal
until the situa tion is over. In vehicles w it h adap­
tive c ruise contro l* , the brake assist system is
mo re sensit ive if the di stance de te cte d to the ve­
h icle ahead is too small.
Anti -slip regulation (ASR)
ASR reduces eng ine power when the drive wheels
begin to spin and adapts t he force to the road
conditions . This makes it easie r to sta rt, acceler­
ate and dr ive up h ills.
Electronic differential lock (EDL )
The EDL brakes w heels that a re spinning and
transfers the drive power to the other whee ls .
This f unction is not avai lab le at higher speeds.
In extreme cases, EDL automatically switches off
to help keep the brake on the braked wheel from
186
overheating . EDL will sw itch on again automati ­
ca lly when conditions have returned to normal.
Steering recommendation
The ESC he lps to s tabilize the vehicle by chang ing
t h e s teer ing torque.
On vehicles with dynam ic steeri ng*, ESC helps
stab ilize the steer ing in crit ica l sit uat io ns.
Selective wheel torque control
Se lective wheel torque cont rol is used when driv­
i ng on curves. The front whee l on the inside of
the curve or both wheels on the inside of the cu rve are braked se lectively as needed. This al­
l ows mo re precise dr iving in c urves . The applica­
ble system may not ac tiv ate when d riving in wet
o r snowy cond it ions.
_&. WARNING
- The ESC and i ts in teg ra ted systems can not
overcome the laws of physics . This is espe ­
cially important on slippery or wet roads. If
the systems begin act ing to stab ilize your
veh icle, you should immediately change
your speed to match the road and traffic conditions. Do not let the increased safety
provided by t hese systems tempt yo u to
take risks. Doing so will i ncrease the r isk of
a loss of vehicle con trol, collisi on and se ri­
ous person al injur ies.
- Always a dapt your speed to road, traffic and
weather condi tions. The risk of los ing c on­
t rol of the vehicle in creases w hen driving
too fast, es pecially through curves and on
slippe ry or wet roads, and when driving too
close to ve hicles up ahead. The ESC and its
integ rated systems cannot always prevent
col lisions - there is still a risk of accidents!
- Always accelerate w ith special care on even,
smooth su rfaces s uch as those that are wet
or covered wit h ice and snow. The drive
wheels can spin even w it h these assistance
sys tems t hat cannot a lways help to reduce
t he risk of loss of vehicle co ntro l.

situations, such as an a irbag dep loyment or hit ­
ting a road obstacle, data that wi ll assist in un ­
derstanding how a vehicle 's systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record da ta rela ted to ve­
hicle dynamics and safety systems for a short pe­
riod of time, typically 30 seconds or less . The
E DR in th is veh icle is des igned to record such da­
ta as:
- How various systems in your vehicle were oper­
at ing;
- Whether o r not the driver and passenger safety
belts were buckled/fastened;
- How far ( if at all) the dr iver was depressing the
acce lerator and/or brake peda l; and,
- How fast the vehicle was trave ling.
These da ta ca n he lp provide a better understand­
ing of the ci rcumstances in which crashes and in ­
juries occur. NO TE: EDR data are reco rded by your
vehicle only if a non-triv ia l crash situation occurs ;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are re ­
corded . H owever, other parties, such as law en­
forcement, could combine the EDR data w ith the
type of personally identify ing dat a routine ly ac­
q uir ed dur ing a crash invest iga tion.
To read data reco rded by an EDR, specia l equip­
ment is req uired, a nd access to t he veh icle or the
E DR is needed. I n add it io n t o the veh icle ma nu­
facture r, ot he r p arties, s uch as law enfor cement,
that have the specia l equipment, can read the in ­
formation if they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR.
Some state l aws restrict the retr ieval or down­
loading of data stored by EDRs insta lled in a vehi ­
cle for the express purpose of retrieving data af ­
ter an accident or crash event without the own ­
er's consent.
Aud i will not access the EDR and/or s imilar data
or give it to others -
- u nless the veh icle owner (or lessee if t he vehi­
cl e h as bee n leased) agrees; or
- u pon the officia l request by the po lice; o r
- upon the order of a court of law or a govern-
ment agency; o r
Intelligent Technology
- for the defense of a lawsuit thro ugh the jud ic ia l
discovery process.
- Aud i may a lso use the data for resea rch about
vehicle operation and safety performance or
provide the data to a third party for research
purposes witho ut identify ing the specif ic veh i­
cle or information about the ident ity of its own­
er or lessee and only after the recorded veh icle
data has been accessed .
Vehicle control modules
You r vehicle is also eq uipped w ith a number of
electronic control modules for various vehicle
systems, such as engine management, emiss ion
contro l, airbags, and safety be lts .
These elect ronic contro l modu les record data
during norma l vehicle operation that may be
needed by trained techn ic ians for diagnostic and
repa ir purposes . The recording capab ility of these
modules is lim ited to data (no sound is record ­
ed) . Only a sma ll amount of data is actua lly re­
corded over a very lim ited period of time, or stor­
ed whe n a system fault is de tected by a contro l
module . Some of the da ta s tored may rela te to
vehicle speed, direction, or braking, as well as re ­
straint system use and performance in the event
of a crash . Stored data can also only be read and
downloaded wit h specia l equipment that is di­
rectly connected to the vehicle.
