Driving
-Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
- The brake booster and power steering only
work when the engine is running. If the en­
gine is
off, you have to use more force when
steering or braking. Because you cannot
steer and brake as you usually would, this
could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
(D Note
Avoid high engine speed, full throttle, and
heavy engine load if the engine has not
reached operating temperature yet. You could
damage the engine.
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not let the engine run while parked to
warm up. Begin driving immediately . This re­
duces unnecessary emissions.
{D) Tips
-Some noise after starting the engine is nor­
mal and is no cause for concern.
- If you leave the vehicle with the ignition
switched on, the ignition will switch
off af­
ter a certain amount of time . Make sure that
electrical equipment such as the exterior
lights are switched
off.
Stopping the engine
.,. Bring the vehicle to a full stop.
.,. Move the selector lever into the P position .
... Press the
I START ENGINE STOPI button
¢ page 59, fig. 67.
Emergency off function*
If it is absolutely necessary, the engine can also
be turned
off while driving at speeds starting at
4 mph (7 km/h). To switch the engine
off, press
the
! START ENGINE STOPI button twice in a row
briefly or press and hold for longer than two sec­
onds.
_&. WARNING
- Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
60
- Please note that the brake booster and pow­
er steering only work when the engine is
running. When the engine
off, you must use
more force to steer or brake the vehicle. Be­
cause the usual steering and braking capa­
bility is not available, the risk of accidents or
. . . . mJunes increases.
- For safety reasons, always park the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position.
Otherwise, there is the risk that the vehicle
could roll.
- After the engine has been switched off, the
radiator fan can continue to run for up to 10
minutes -even with the ignition switched
off. It can also switch on again after some
time if the coolant temperature rises as the
result of heat buildup or if the engine is al­
ready warm and the engine compartment is
also heated by the sun's rays.
(D Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for
an extended period of time, heat builds up in
the engine compartment after th@ engine is
switched
off and there is a risk of damaging
the engine . For this reason, let the engine run
at idle for approximately two minutes before
shutting it
off.

General warnings about batteries
All of the batteries in yo ur vehicle are practically
ma intenance-free and are checked during a ve hi­
cle inspection . Because of the complex power
supp ly, all work on batter ies such as d isconnect­
ing, replacing, etc. should
o nly be performed by
an author ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility

Fire, sparks, open flame and smok ing are
forb idden.
~
A highly exp losive mixtu re of gases can
form when charging batteries.

Keep childre n away from battery acid and
batteries.
A WARNING
All work on the battery or electrical system in
your vehicle can result in injuries, chemical
burns, accidents or burns. Because of this, a ll
work m ust be perfo rmed
only by an author­
ized Aud i deale r or authorized Audi Serv ice
Facility.
A WARNING

Vehicle battery
The term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
Not running the vehicl e for long periods of
time
If you do not drive your vehicle for severa l days or
weeks, electrical equ ipment is gradua lly scaled
back or sw itched off. Th is reduces energy use and
ensures the vehicle will be ab le to start after long
per iods of time

func tions, such as i nterio r lighting o r power seat
adjus tme nt, may no t be ava ilab le unde r certain
cir cumstances . These convenience func tions will
be available again once you switch the ignit ion on
and start the engine.
E ven when elec trical equipment is switched off,
the eq uipment can sti ll dr ain the vehicle ba ttery
i f the veh icle is not dr iven for long periods of
t ime . Deep dra ining resu lts in a chemica l reaction
t h at destroys the inside of the vehicle batte ry.
The veh icle battery must be charged every month
to red uce the risk of this happening

Contact an authorized Aud i dea ler or authorized
Audi Service Facility for more information .
Winter operat ion
Co ld weather places higher demands on the vehi­
cle battery. Th is res ults in reduced starting ab ili­
ty. Have the vehicle battery checked by an au­
