The power currently available in the e lectric drive
system is displayed when you open the energy
flow disp lay .
The bars are fi lled in with different co lors based
on the power
status @ Q fig. 107:
- White: electr ic power currently availab le
- Green: electric power currently being used
The more bars that are filled in the E-max section
@ , the longer the maximum power can be utiliz­
ed. The bars turn off in the E-max section when
the maximum power can no longer be utilized.
When the drive power is greatly reduced, the
drive mode will automatically switch to using the
gasoline engine.
The availability of power is genera lly restricted
under the following conditions:
- T he temperature of the high-voltage battery is
very co ld or very hot.
- The high-vo ltage battery charge level is low.
The power availability is not visible if the
Ii] indi­
cator light turns on.
(D Tips
High power ava ilability is necessary, for exam­
ple, when needing to accelerate quickly while
in electric driving mode to pass another vehi­

Vehicle transport
Applies to: vehicles with plug-in hybr id drive
The following contains information you should
know about transporting your vehicle.
The MQB-A high-voltage lithium-ion battery sys­
tem equipped in your vehicle is composed of SA­
NYO 12 UF 261 591 high -voltage batteries and
has passed test 38.3 in accordance with the UN
Tests and Criteria handbook. The vehicle may be
transported with the high-voltage battery instal­
led as conventional class 9 hazardous materials
without additional official consent for air and sea
shipment (current law !CAO-TI and IMDG-Code
01.01.2012).
Jump starting
Applies to: ve hicles with plug -in hybrid drive
The term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
F ig. 110 Engine co mpartment: connectors for a cha rge r
and jump star t cab le s
The vehicle is equipped with one vehicle battery
and one high-voltage battery .
If the vehicle battery is drained, it can be charged
with a charger or you can jump start the vehicle
using another vehicle's battery in the same way
as a conventional vehicle.
Read the information about charging the vehicle
battery
r:!> page 326 and for jump starting the ve­
hicle
r:!> page 370.
• Open the hood r:!>page 318 .
• Remove the fuse box cover @ to access the
pos itive terminal
0 r:!> page 319.

• Clamp the terminal clamps from the charg ing
device or jump start cable to the positive termi­
nal
0 and to the body ground point Q.
(D Note
You must not give a jump start with your vehi­
cle. This could cause significant damage to
the electrical system in your vehicle.
Coolant
Applies to : vehicles with plug -in hybrid drive
Fig. 111 En g in e compar tmen t: coolant expans ion tank
Your vehicle has two coolant expansion tanks
that are separate from each other:
@ : expansion tank for gasoline eng ine and elec­
tric motor.
@: expansion tank for the high-voltage area.
The expansion tank @ must not be opened
r:!> &.
• Switch the ignition off.
• Open the hood r:!> page 318.
• Always check the coolant level in both coolant
expansion tanks @and @ using the outer
markings .
• When you fill coolant i n the expansion tank @,
please refer to r:!> page 323, Cooling system.
• Do not drive any farther if the coolant level in
the expansion tank @ is low. Contact an au­
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Aud i Service
Facility immediately

electrical installation or it has not been
checked by qualified experts, never use it for

e-tron
-When charging the high-voltage battery us ­
ing househo ld/industrial sockets, the elec­
trical installat ion can be used at full capaci­
ty. Having a qualified electrician regularly inspect the electrical installations that are
used for charging is recommended.
- The vehicle radio and TV systems may have
limited reception when charging the vehi­
cle .
Charging at public
charging stations
Applies to: vehicles with plug- in hybrid drive

sition and drive r eady mode is switched off.
• Turn the lock until it is vertical to open the cov­
er on the charging unit ¢page 112 , fig . 123.
• Slide the cover carefully to the side if necessa­
ry .
• Remove the lock on the charging port
¢ page 112, fig . 124.
• Remove the cap from the charging cable.
• Connect the cable to the veh icle charging port .
• If a charging timer is not set, the charging
process will start automatically depending on
the charg ing station
¢ page 112, Setting the
charging timer.
• The vehicle operating s tatus is indicated by the
status
LED @¢ table on page 115.
• Also read the information found in
¢ page 114 , After charging .
(D Tips
Only charge your vehicle at charging stations
that conform to the follow ing standards, de­
pending on the country :

(D Tips
-Air condit ioning and heating is powered
electrically if you select climate control us­
i ng the charging timer . This may also be
used in confined spaces such as garages .
-Using the auxiliary air conditioning wh ile
charging can also reduce the charge level of
the high-vo ltage battery.
-The high-voltage battery also charges in
power save mode .
-If the charging process is in progress, it will
not be interrupted when power save mode
switches on.
-The charging process can be interrupted at
any time . Press the active button on the ve­
hicle to do
this ~ page 111, fig. 122.

(D Tips
-If a household socket is used for the charg­
ing process, the cha rging power level is au­
t oma tically set to 100%. If m ultip le electri­
cal consumers are connected to a circu it,
the charging power may be limited to 50%
when charging with a household socket in
order to relieve the load on the electrical in­
stallation.
-If an industrial socket is used for the charg­
ing process, the charging power level is au­
tomatically set to 50%. To rece ive the maxi­
mum charging power, the value must be set
to 100% .
-A selected value remains set until the power
