Intelligent Technology
Electronic stabilization
control (ESC)
Description
Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) supports
driver safety.
It reduces the risk of slipping and
improves driving stability. ESC detects critical sit­
uations such as the vehicle oversteering and un­
dersteering or the wheels are spinning. The vehi­
cle is stabilized by applying the brakes or reduc ­
ing engine torque. When ESC engages, the
G1 in­
dicator light blinks in the instrument cluster.
The following systems are integrated in the ESC:
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking when brak­
ing. The vehicle can still be steered even during
hard braking. Apply steady pressure to the brake
pedal. Do not pump the pedal. A pulsing in the
brake pedal indicates that the system is acting to
stabilize the vehicle .
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can decrease braking dis­
tance. It increases braking power when the driver
presses the brake pedal quickly in emergency sit­
uations . You must press and hold the brake pedal
until the dangerous situation is over .
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
ASR reduces engine power when the drive wheels
begin spinning and adapts the force to the road
conditions. This makes it easier to start, acceler­
ate and drive up hills .
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
EDL applies the brakes to a wheel that starts
spinning and transfers the drive power to the
other driving wheels. This function is not availa­
ble at higher speeds.
In extreme cases, EDL automatically switches
off
to keep the brake on the braked wheel from over­ heating. The vehicle is still working correctly. EDL
will switch on again automatically when condi­
tions have returned to normal.
88 Steering
recommendation
The ESC helps to stabilize the vehicle by changing
the steering torque.
Selective wheel torque control
Selective wheel torque control is used when driv­
ing on curves. The front whee l on the inside of
the curve or both wheels on the inside of the
cu rve are braked selectively as needed. This al­
lows more precise driving in curves. The applica ­
ble system may not activate when driving in wet
or snowy conditions.
A WARNING
- The ESC and its integrated systems cannot
overcome the limits imposed by natural physical laws. This is especially important
on slippery or wet roads. If the systems be­
gin acting to stabilize your vehicle, you
should immediately alter your speed to
match the road and traffic conditions. Do
not let the increased safety provided tempt
you into taking risks. This could increase
your risk of a collision .
- Please note the risk of a collision increases
when driving fast, especially through curves
and on slippery or wet roads, and when driv­ ing too close to objects ahead. The ESC and
its integrated systems cannot always pre­
vent collisions -there is still a risk of acci­
dents!
- Press the accelerator pedal carefully when
accelerating on even, slippery surfaces such
as ice and snow. The drive wheels can spin
even when these control systems are instal­
led and this can affect driving stability and
increase the risk of a collision.
(j) Tips
-The ABS and ASR only function correctly
when all four wheels have a similar wear
condition. Different tire sizes can lead to a
reduction in engine power.
- You may hear noises when the systems de­
scribed are working.

brake rotors and pads by caref ull y applying
the brakes several t imes .
-If the front spoiler is damaged or you install
another spoiler, make sure the front wheel
brakes are vent ilated properly. Otherwise,
the brake system could overheat, wh ich re­
duces the ir effectiveness .
- Failure of a brake circuit impairs b raking
performance , which increases brak ing dis­
tance. Avoid driving the vehicle and have it
towed it to the nearest author ized Audi
dealer or author ized A udi Se rvice Facility.
- Never let the vehicle roll while t he engine is
stopped because this increases the risk of a n
acc iden t.
- If the bra ke booste r is not working, you will
have to press m uch ha rder on the bra ke
ped al to compensate for the lac k of th e
booster.
- Never let the brakes "rub " by pressing the
pedal light ly when bra king is no t actually
ne cessary . T his cause s the brakes to over­
hea t and i ncre ases br aking di stance and
ca uses wear.
- B efo re driv ing downh ill a long dis tance on a
steep h ill, decrease your speed and se lec t a
l ower gear . This makes use of the engine
braking effect and relieves the brakes . If
you need to b rake additionally, brake in in­
tervals and not continuously.
@ Tips
- If the brake booste r is not working, you
must press the brake pedal with much more
fo rce than normal.
- If you retrofit yo ur vehicle with a front spoil­
er, whee l
covers or similar items, make sure
that the air flow to the front whee ls is not
i nterr upted . Otherw ise the brake system
ca n become too hot .

Winter tires
By using all wheel drive, your vehicle has good
forward motion with standard tires in winter con­
ditions. However, in winter we recommend using
winter or all season tires on
all four wheels, be­
cause this will improve the
broking effect.
Snow chains
If there are snow chain laws, snow chains must
also be used on vehicles with all wheel drive
¢ page 2 70, Snow chains.
Replacing tires
For vehicles with all wheel drive, only whee ls with
the same rolling circumference should be used .
Avoid using tires with different tread depths
¢ page 262, New tires or wheels.
Offroad vehicle?
Your Aud i is not an offroad vehicle - there is not
enough ground clearance. For this reason, avoid
difficult terrain.
_&. WARNING
-Also, in vehicles with all wheel drive, adapt
your driv ing style to the current road and
t ra ffic conditions. Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into taking risks,
because this increases the r isk of an acci­
dent.
- The braking ability of your vehicle is limited
to the traction of the wheels. In this way, it
is not different from a two wheel drive vehi­
cle. Do not be tempted to accelerate to a
high speed when the road is slippery, be­
cause this increases the risk of an accident.
- Note that on wet streets, the front wheels
can "hydroplane" if driving at speeds that
are too high. Unlike front whee l drive
vehicles, the eng ine does not rev highe r sud­
denly when the vehicle begins hydroplaning.
For this reason, pay attention to the road
conditions regardless o f your speed.

New tires or wheels
Audi recommends having all work
on tires or wheels performed by
an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility.
These facilities have the proper knowledge and are equipped with
the required tools and replace­ ment parts .
.,.. New tires do not yet have the
optimum gripping properties.
Dr ive carefully and at moderate
speeds for the first 350 miles (500 km) with new tires.
.,.. Use tires of the same construc­
tion, size (rolling circumference)
and as close to the same tread
pattern as possible on all four
wheels .
.,.. Do not replace tires individually.
At least replace both tires on the same axle at the same time.

.,.. Audi recommends that you use
Aud i Orig inal Tires. If you would
like to use different tires, please
note that the tires may perform
diffe rently even if they are the
same size
c:::> &. -
.,.. If you would like to equip your
vehicle with a tire/rim combina ­
tion that is different from what
was installed at the facto ry, con ­
sult with an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility before making a pur­
chase
c:::> & -
The spare tire* is different from the regular tires installed on the
vehicle -for example, if winter
tires or wide t ires are installed -
so only use the spare tire* tempo ­
rarily in case of emergency and
drive carefully while it is in use . It
should be replaced with a regular
tire as soon as possible.
On
all wheel drive vehicles, all
four wheels must be equipped
with tires that are the same brand and have the same construction
and tread pattern so that the
drive system is not damaged by
different tire speeds . For this rea­
son, in case of emergency, only
use a spare tire* that is the same .,..

of an accident.
Winter tires
W inter tire s significan tly improve the vehicle 's
handling when driving in w inter condi tions. Be­
cause of the ir construction (width, compound,
tread pattern) , summe r tires p rovide less trac­
tion o n ice and snow.
.. Use w inter t ires o n all four wheels .
.. Only use w inter t ires that are approved for your
vehicle .
.. Please note that the maximum permitted
speed may be lower with winter tires

ice Facility can inform you about the maximum
permitted speed fo r you r tires.
.. Check the tire pr essu re after installing whee ls
¢ page 265.
The effectiveness of winter tires is reduced great ­
ly whe n the tread is wor n down to a depth of
0 .157 in (4 mm). The character istics of winter
tires also decrease great ly as the tire ages, re­
gardless of the remaining tread.
A WARNING
- Never dr ive faste r than the maxim um per ­
mitted speed for your t ires . This cou ld cause
the tires to heat up too much. This increases
t h e risk of an a cciden t be ca use i t can c ause
t h e tire to burst.
- Always adapt yo ur driv ing to t he r oad and
t ra ffic conditions. Drive ca refully and red uce
yo ur sp eed on icy or slippery roads. Even
winte r tires can lose traction on black ice .
@ For the sake of the environment
Reinstall su mme r tir es at the approp ria te
t ime, because they provide bet ter ha ndling
when ro ads are free of snow a nd ice. S ummer
t ires cause less road noise, ti re wea r and fuel
consumption.

(D Tips
You can also use a ll season tires instea d of
winter tires . Please note that in some coun­
tries where winter tires are required, on ly
winter tires w it h the

mitted.
' Snow chains
S now cha ins not on ly improve the driv ing in win­
te r road cond it io ns, but a lso the b raking .
.. On ly install snow chai ns on the front wheels .
T his applies also to vehicles with all wheel
dr ive*.
.. Check and co rrect t he seating of the snow
chains after driving a few feet, if nece ssary. Fol­
low t he inst ructions from the m anufac turer.
.. Note the max imum speed of 3 0 mph (50 km/
h). Note the local regulations.
U se of snow c hains is only permitte d wit h cert ain
rim/ tire comb inat ions due to technical reasons.
Check with a n authorized Audi dealer or author ­
i zed Audi Service Facility to see if you may use
snow chains.
You m ust remove the snow chains on roads wi th­
out snow . Otherwise, you co uld impair driving
ability and damage the t ires .
A WARNING
Using incor rect snow chains or installing snow
cha ins incor rectly can result in loss of vehicle
control, which increases the risk of an acci­
dent .
(D Note
-Snow chains can damage the rims/wheel
covers* if the c hains come into direct con­
tact with them. Remove the w heel covers *
first . Use coated snow cha ins .
- Us ing snow c hains that add more tha n 0.53
