Warm and cold Climate control system
Description
The climate control system warms , cools and re­
moves humidity from the air in the vehicle inte ri­
or. It is the most effective when the w indows and
sunroof* are closed . If there is a bu ild -up of heat
inside the ve hicle, ventilation can he lp to speed
up the cooling process.
I n all he ating mode f unct ions except for
defrost ,
the blower on ly switches to a higher speed once
the engine coolant has reached a sufficient tem ­
perature .
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filte r removes pollutants such as
d ust and pollen from the a ir.
Key recognition
The climate control settings are automatically
sto red and assig ned to the remote control key
that is i n use .
Warm and c old
@ For the sake of the environment
If you wo uld like to reduce fue l consumption,
switch the air conditioning off. T his w ill also
r educe em issions.
(D Tips
- To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output and to prevent the win ­
dows from fogging over, the a ir intake in
fro nt of the w indshie ld must be free of ice,
snow o r leaves .
- Condensation from the coo ling system can
dr ip and form a pudd le of water under the
veh icle . Th is is norma l and does not mean
t here is a lea k.
- The e nergy management system may tem­
pora rily switch off certa in functions, s uch as
the seat heati ng* o r rear window defogger .

Fig . 113 In strumen t clu ste r: approac h warn ing
Descr iption
Within the limits of the system, pre sense front
can warn yo u of impending coll is ions and in itiate
the corresponding brak ing maneuvers or the sup­
port ing measures when avoiding a co llision .
If detected in time, the system can rank the dan ­
gerous situation as cr itica l if a vehicle driving
ahead brakes sudden ly, if you r own vehicle is ap­
proaching a s ignificantly s lower vehicle at h igh
speed or when there is an oncom ing vehicle dur­
i ng a tur ning maneuve r.
If detection is not poss ible, then pre sense front
does not react.
Warnings
The system recognizes various dange rous situa ­
tions. The
early warning occurs if:
- a vehicle d riving ahe ad brakes s udden ly
- yo ur own vehicle approaches a s ignificant ly
s lower veh icle o r st ation ary veh icle in the dire c­
t ion of t ravel
ll Thi s is not availa ble in so m e co untrie s.
A ss istance systems
When this warning occurs, it may on ly be possi ­
ble to avoid a co llision by swerving o r braking
strongly . The message
Audi pre sense.
¢ fig . 113 and a wa rning tone will warn you
about the danger .
If you do not react enough or not at all to a dan­
gerous sit uat ion that was detected by the sys ­
tem, p re sense front provides assistance by ap­
ply ing the b rakes .
If a collision is imminent, the system will first
provide a n
acute warning by braking sharply . You
will a lso warned by an indicato r in the instr ument
cluster
disp lay¢ fig. 113 . If you do not react to
the acute warning, pre sense front can brake w ith

ahead
l)_ If pre sense front determi nes that you
are not braking strong ly enough when a co llision
is imminent, it can increase t he b raking force.
T he following fu nctions t rigge r in conjunction
with pre sense basic/rea r at co rresponding vehi ­
cle speeds:
- Reve rsible tens ion ing of the front safety bel ts

Turn a ssist
When start ing to dr ive and up to speeds of maxi­
mum 6 mph (10 km/h), the turn assist uses a
braking intervention to prevent your vehicle from
colliding with an oncoming vehicle when turning left or right (available in certain co untries). The
braking intervent ion causes your vehicle to stay
in its lane.
A WARNING
-Pre sense front cannot overcome the laws of
physics . It is a system des igned to assist and
it cannot prevent a collision in every circum­
sta nce. The d rive r must a lways i ntervene.
T he d river is always respons ib le for b raking
at the correct time. Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into taking risks .
This cou ld increase your risk of a co llision .
-The system can deploy incorrectly d ue to
system -specific limits .
-Please note that the sensors and the camera
do not always detect all objects or lane
markings. This increases the risk of an acci ­
dent.
-Pre sense front does not react to people, an ­
ima ls or ob jects that are crossing the veh i­
cle's path or that are diff icu lt to detect

Driving safety
A WARNING
Heavy loads will influence the way your vehi­
cle handles . To help reduce the risk of a loss
of control leading to serious personal injury:
- Always keep in mind when transporting
heavy objects, that a change in the center of
gravity can also cause changes in vehicle
handling:
- Always distribute the load as evenly as
possible.
-Place heavy objects as far forward in the
luggage compartment as possible.
- Never exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating
or the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating specified
on the safety compliance sticker on th e driv­
er's side B-pillar. Exceeding permissible
weight standards can cause the vehicle to
slide and handle differently .
- Please observe information on safe driving
<=) page 252.
A WARNING
To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from
being drawn into the vehicle, always keep the
rear lid closed while driving .
- Never transport objects larger than those
fitting completely into the luggage area be­ cause the rear lid cannot be fully closed .
- If you absolutely must drive with the rear lid
open, observe the following notes to reduce
the risk of poisoning:
- Close all windows,
- Close the sunroof*,
-Open all air outlets in the instrument pan-
el,
- Switch off the air recirculation,
- Set the fresh air fan to the highest speed .
A WARNING
Always make sure that the doors, all win­
dows, the sunroof* and the rear lid are se­
curely closed and locked to reduce the risk of
injury when the vehicle is not being used .
-After closing the rear lid , always make sure
that it is properly closed and locked.
258
-Never leave your vehicle unattended espe­
cially with the rear lid left open. A child
could crawl into the vehicle through the lug­
gage compartment and close the rear lid be­
coming trapped and unable to get out . Be­
ing trapped in a vehicle can lead to serious
personal injury.
- Never let children play in or around the vehi­
cle .
- Never let passengers ride in the luggage
compartment . Vehicle occupants must al­
ways be properly restrained in one of the
ve­
hicle 's seating positions.
@ Note
If you are transporting large items with the
backrest folded down*, you should remove
the Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)* and its
holder* to avoid damage.
© Tips
-Air circulation helps to reduce window fog­
ging. Stale air escapes to the outside
through vents in the trim panel. Be sure to
keep these slots free and open .
-The tire pressure must correspond to the
load. The tire pressure label lists the recom­
mended cold tire inflation pressures for the
vehicle at its maximum capacity weight and
the tires that were on your vehicle at the
time it was manufactured. For recommend­ ed tire pressures for normal load condi­
tions, please see chapter
Q page 336 .
Tie-downs
The luggage compartmen t is equipped with four
t ie-downs to secure luggage and o ther i tems.
Use the tie-downs to secure your cargo properly
