Warning! No brake boo ster

Driving - The transmission can overheat and be dam­
aged under certain driving and traffic condi­
tions such as frequent starts, creeping for a
long time, or stop -and-go traffic. When the
@] or. indicator light turns on, stop the
vehicle at the next opportunity and let the
transmission cool
r=;, page 70 .
-Allowing the vehicle to roll when the engine
is stopped will damage the S tronic trans ­
mission because it is not lubricated
¢ page 286, Towing with a tow truck.
@ Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is re­
leased automatically only when the driver's
safety belt is engaged in the buckle.
Hill descent control
The hill descent control system assists the driver
when driving down hills .
Hill descent control is ac tivated when the selec­
tor lever is in the Dor S position and you press
the brake pedal. The transmission automatically
selects a gear that is suitable for the hill. Hill de­
scent control tries to maintain the speed ach­
ieved at the time of braking, within physical and
technical limitations.
If may still be necessary to
adjust the speed with the brakes. Because hill de ­
scent control cannot shift down farther than 3rd
gear, it may be necessary to shift into tiptronic
mode in very steep areas. In this case, shift man­
ually into 1st or 2nd gear in tiptronic mode to
use the engine's braking force to relieve the
brakes .
Hill descent control switches off once the hill lev­
els out or you press the accelerator pedal.
On vehicles with a cruise control system*
¢ page 72, hill descent control is also activated
when the speed is set.
A WARNING
Hill descent control cannot overcome physical
limitations, so it may not be able to maintain
a constant speed under all conditions. Always
be ready to apply the brakes.

Shifting manually (tiptronic mode)
The tiptronic mode allows the driver to shi~ the
gears manually .

Shifting with the selector lever
You can shift into tiptronic mode while stationary
and whi le driving.
.,. To shift into tiptronic mode, push the selector
lever from the D/S setting to the right in the
tiptronic shift gate. Once the transmission has
sw itched modes, the selector lever position

Ass is t
Assist
Electronic speed Limiter
Your v ehicle may be factory equipped with tires
that are rated for a maximum speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). This is less than the maximum sp eed
of your vehicle . To reduce the risk of sudden tire
failure and loss of control if the vehicle is operat­ ed at excessive speeds, your vehicle also has an
electronic speed limiter . The electronic speed
lim iter prevents your vehicle from going faster
than the t ire speed rating. For mo re information
~ page 253.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle
road speed s ignals , the Malfunction Indicator
L amp (MIL)
¢..ffi will illumina te . If this occurs,
con tact the nearest au thorized A ud i dealer for
assistance.
_& WARNING
Always observe the posted speed limits and
adjust you r speed to suit prevailing road, traf­
fic and weather conditions. Never drive your
vehicle faster than the maximum speed rating
of the tires installed .
Speed warning system
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning system
The speed warning system helps you to stay be­
low a specified maximum speed that can be set,
changed or deleted in the Infotainment system . -
The speed warning system warns you if you are
exceeding the maximum speed that you have set
.
A warni ng tone will sound as soon as you r speed
exceeds the sto red value s lightly . The

sage turn off when the vehicle speed drops be low

Se tting a threshold is rec om mended if you would
like to be reminded when yo u reach a certa in
maximum speed . Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country w it h a ge ne r-

speed for winter tires.

- Always pay attention to the traffic around

erat ion. You are always respons ible for your ,...

speed and the distance between your vehi­
cle and other vehicles.
- For safety reasons, cruise control should not
be used in the city, in stop-and-go traffic, on
winding roads and when road conditions are
poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and
hydroplaning), because this increases the
risk of a n accident.
- Switch the cruise control off temporarily
when driving in turning lanes, highway exits
or in construction zones.
- Please note that unconsciously "resting"
your foot on the accelerator pedal prevents
the cruise control from braking. This is be­
cause pressing the accelerator pedal over­
rides the cruise control system.
- If a brake system malfunction such as over­
heating occurs when the cruise control sys­
tem is switched on, the braking function in
the system may be switched off . The rest of
the cruise control system functions remain
active as long as the
@;\1)~14 (USA models) I
ill (Canada models) indicator light is on.
@ Tips
The brake lights turn on when the brakes are
app lied automatica lly.
Changing speed
Applies to: veh icles with c ruise control system
.. To increase/decrease the speed in increments,
briefly
tap the lever toward 010 Q page 72,
fig. 77 up/down to the first level.
.. To increase or decrease the speed in incre ­
ments,
tap the lever toward 010 Q page 72,
fig. 77 up/down to the second level.
.. To increase or decrease the speed quickly ,
hold
the leve r in the 0 / 0 direction until the de­
sired speed is reached .
Overriding the speed
Applies to: veh icles with c ruise control system
You can press the accelerator pedal down to in­
crease your speed, for example if you want to
pass someone. The speed you set earlier wi ll re-

sume as soon as you release the acce lerator ped ­
al.
However, if you are exceeding the stored speed
by a considerable amount for a long time, the
cruise contro l system will temporarily switch off.
The
(ff;ji )~i4 (USA mode ls) Iii (Canada mode ls) in­
dicator light in the instrument cluster turns off
and the stored speed is maintained.
Preselecting the speed
Applies to : vehicles with cruise control system
You can pre-select your desired speed when the
vehicle is stationary.
.. Switch on the ignition.
.. Pull the lever into position (!)
Q page 72,
fig. 77.
.. To increase or decrease the speed, tap the lever
toward
0 10 .
This function makes it possible, for example, to
save the speed you want before driving on the
highway . Once you are on the expressway, acti­
vate the cruise control system by pulling the lev­
er into position (!).
Switching off
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
Temporary deactivation
.. Press the brake pedal, or
.. Press the lever toward@(not locked into
place)
Q page 72, fig. 77.
Switching off completely
.. Press the lever into position @(clicked into
place), or
.. Switch the ignit ion off .

ion is limited or switched off. The amount of
stab ilizat ion control will d iffer depending on the
level.
T he following examples are unusua l situat ions

Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not achieve their fu ll braking
effect duri ng the first 250 mi (400 km) . They
must be "broke n in" first. Howeve r, you can com­
pensate fo r th e slightly reduced braking force by
pressing f irm ly on the b rake pedal. Avo id heavy
bra king d urin g the brea k-in pe riod .
Wear
Brake pad wear depends largely on the way the
vehicle is driven and on operating conditions.
T his is espec ially true if yo u are dr iv ing freq uently
in t he ci ty and o n curves or w ith a spo rty d rivi ng
sty le.
