Facility immediately to have the malfunction cor­
rected. The color of the indicator light depends
on the vehicle speed.
A WARNING
-
Driving at higher speeds without the rear
spoiler deployed can impair handling charac­ teristics, making the vehicle harder to con ­
trol.
- Always make sure that the spoiler is de­
ployed when driving at speeds over 85 mph
(140 km/h). If the rear spoiler warning/indi­
cator light in the instrument cluster comes
on, the rear spoiler may not have deployed.
- Never drive at speeds higher than 85 mph
(140 km/h) if the spoiler is not deployed .
Have the spoiler inspected as soon as possi­
ble by an authorized Audi dealer or qualified
workshop.
- Always obey speed limits and other traffic
laws.
A WARNING t =
Improper operation of the rear spoiler can
cause crushing injuries.
-
- Always make sure that nobody, especially
children, is in the way when the rear spoiler
is deployed or retracted.
(D Note
- Never push on the vehicle on the rear spoil­
er. This could cause damage.
- To prevent damage to the rear spoiler do
not lean or place anything on it.
- Only operate the rear spoiler manually when
the luggage compartment lid is close and
the rear spoiler moving parts are not
blocked. Otherwise, damage could occur.
@ Tips
Clean the rear spoiler compartment every 2 to
3 months. To function correctly, the rear
spoiler must be free of ice , snow and leaves.
Intelligent Technology
Energy management
The starting ability is optimized
The energy management system manages the
electrical energy distribution and optimizes the
availability of electrical energy for starting the
engtne.
When a vehicle with a conventional energy sys­
tem is not driven for a long time, the vehicle bat­
tery is drained by equipment (for example, the
immobilizer). In certain circumstances , there
could may not be enough energy to start the en­
gine.
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent ener­
gy management system for distributing electrici­
ty. This significantly improves the starting ability
and increases the vehicle battery life.
The energy management system Is made up of
battery diagnosis, idling current management
and dynamic energy management.
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis determines the vehicle bat ­
tery charge level. The sensors determine the bat­
tery voltage, the battery current, and the battery
temperature. The current charge level and the
performance of the vehicle battery are deter­
mined based on this.
Idling current management
The idling current management decreases the
energy used while parked. With the engine
switched off , it manages the energy distribution
to the different electrical components. Data from
the battery diagnosis is taken into account for
this.
Depending on the vehicle battery charge level,
electrical equipment is switched off one item af­
ter the other to prevent the vehicle battery from draining and to maintain the starting ability.
Dynamic energy management
While driving , dynamic energy management dis­
tributes the appropriate amount of energy to the
electrical equipment.
It controls the battery
charge level so that the amount of energy is not ..,_

Intelligent Technology
greater than the amount being generated in or­
der to maintain an optimal vehicle battery charge
level.
(D Tips
- Energy management cannot overcome the laws of physics. Note that the charge level
and length of the vehicle battery life are
limited.
- When the starting ability is jeopardized, the
(•j indicator light turns on¢ page 13.
What you should know
Maintaining the starting ability is the highest
priority.
A lot of stress is placed on the vehicle battery
when driving short distances, during city driving,
and at cold times of the year. A lot of energy is
used but little is generated. It is also critical
when the engine is not running but electrical
equipment is switched on. In this case, energy is used but none is generated .
In situations like this, energy management will
actively regulate the distribution of energy.
Long periods without use
If you do not drive your vehicle for several days or
weeks, electrical equipment is gradually scaled
back or switched off. This reduces energy use and
ensures the vehicle will be able to start after long
periods of time. Some convenience functions
such as opening with the remote control key may not be available . These convenience functions
will be available again once you switch the igni­ tion on and start the engine.
With the engine switched off
The vehicle battery will drain if you use Infotain­ ment functions such as listening to the radio
while the engine is switched off .
If the vehicle's ability to start may be impaired by
the energy use, a message will appear in the In­
fotainment system display. The message indi­ cates that the system will switch off automatical­ly soon .
If you would like to continue using the
functions, you must start the engine.
94
With the engine running
Although e lectrical energy is generated while
driving , the vehicle battery can drain . This can
happen if little energy is generated but much is
used, and the charge level of the vehicle battery
is not optimal.
To restore the balance of energy , components
that require large amounts of energy are tempo­
rarily scaled back or switched off. Heating sys­
tems in particular require a great deal of energy.
If you notice, for example, that the seat heating*
or rear window defroster is not working, then it has been temporarily reduced or switched off .
These systems are available again as soon as the energy supply has been restored.
In addition, you may notice that the idle speed
has slightly increased . That is normal and no
cause for concern . By increasing the idling speed ,
the additional required energy will be generated
and the vehicle battery will be charged.
Information about data
recorded by vehicle
control modules
Your vehicle is not equipped with a crash data re­
corder . This device is installed by some vehicle
manufacturers to record data about crashes so
that it can be analyzed later. Crash data record­
ers are also called "Event Data Recorders (EDR)".
In some legal jurisdictions, it is not permitted to
access or download data recorded by pre-instal­
led crash data recorders in order to evaluate a
crash without clear consent of the vehicle owner.
Your vehicle is not equipped with a crash data re­
corder. However it does contain a variety of elec­
tronic control modules for various vehicle sys­
tems such as engine function, exhaust treatment
or airbags and safety belts.
These electronic control modules record vehicle
data during normal driving for diagnosis and re­
pair purposes. The recording capability of the
electronic control modules is limited to data only
- no sound is recorded. If the control module de­
tects a system malfunction or other change in
status, a very limited amount of data is recorded .,,.

-Never install seat covers or replacement
upholstery over the front seatbacks that
have not been specifically approved by
Audi.
- Never use additional seat cushions that
cover the areas where the side airbags in­
flate.
- Damage to the original seat covers or to
the seam in the area of the side airbag module must always be repaired immedi­
ately by an authorized Audi dealer.
- The airbag system can deploy only once. Af­
ter an airbag has been deployed, it must be
replaced with new replacement parts de­
signed and approved especially for your
Audi model version. Replacement of com­ plete airbag systems or airbag components
must be performed by qualified workshops
only. Make sure that any airbag service ac­
tion is entered in your Audi Warranty
&
Maintenance booklet under AIRBAG RE­
PLACEMENT RECORD.
- For safety reasons in severe accidents, the
alternator and starter are separated from
the vehicle battery with a pyrotechnic circuit interrupter.
- Work on the pyrotechnic circuit interrupt­
er must only be performed by a qualified
technicians who have the experience, in­
formation and special tools necessary to
perform the work safely.
- If the vehicle or the circuit interrupter is
scrapped, all applicable safety precautions must be followed.

observed. Your authorized Audi dealer is fa­
miliar with these requirements and we recom­
mend that you have your dealer perform this
service for you.
Airbag system
Other things that can affect Advanced
Airbag performance
Changing the vehicle's suspension system can
change the way that the Advanced Airbag System
performs in a crash. For example, using tire-rim
combinations not approved by Audi, lowering the
vehicle, changing the stiffness of the suspension, including the springs, suspension struts, shock
absorbers etc . can change the forces that are
measured by the airbag sensors and sent to the
electronic control unit. Some suspension changes
can, for example, increase the force levels meas­
ured by the sensors and make the airbag system
deploy in crashes in which it would not deploy if
the changes had not been made. Other kinds of
changes may reduce the force levels measured by
the sensors and prevent the airbag from deploy­ ing when it should.
A WARNING
-Changing the vehicle's suspension including use of unapproved tire-rim combinations can
change Advanced Airbag performance and in­
crease the risk of serious personal injury in a
crash.
- Never install suspension components that
do not have the same performance charac­
teristics as the components originally instal­
led on your vehicle.
- Never use tire-rim combinations that have
not been approved by Audi.
