Light s and Vision
accident. Wiper b lade chatter is also possi ­
b le.
- Properly functioning windshield wiper
b lades are required for a clear v iew and safe
driving¢ page 44, Replacing windshield
wiper blades.
@ Note
- If there is frost, make sure the windshield
w iper blades are not frozen to the wind­
shield. Switching on the w indshield w ipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind­ shield can damage the w iper blades.
- The windshie ld w iper system must be
sw itched off (lever in posit io n 0) before us­
ing a car wash. This prevents the w ipers
from switc hing on un intent io nally and caus­
ing damage to the winds hield wiper system.
(D Tips
- T he windsh ie ld w ipers sw itch off when the
ign ition is switched off. You can activate the
w indshield w ipe rs after the ignition is
sw itched back on by mov ing the w indshield
w iper lever to a ny posi tion.

- Th e washer fluid no zzles in the winds hield
washe r system are heated* at low tempera ­
t ur es when the ignition is on .
- Whe n stopping tempo rar ily, such as at a
traffic lig ht, the speed of the windshield
wipers automatica lly reduces by one level.

Drivin g
- If the power sup ply fai ls, you cannot set the
parking brake if it is release d. In this case,
park the vehicle on level ground an d secure
it by placing the selector lever in the P posi­
t ion . See an authorized Aud i d ealer or au­
thorized Aud i Serv ice Facility for ass istance.
- If you leave the veh icle, switch the ignit ion
off and take the vehicle key w ith you . This
applies particularly when children remain in
the vehicle. Othe rwise children could sta rt
the engine, re lease the par king brake o r op­
erate electrical equipment such as power
windows, which increases the risk of an acci­
dent.
- No one shou ld remain in the vehicle when it
is locked - especially chi ldren . Locked doors
make it more diff icu lt for emergency work­
ers to get into the vehicle, which puts lives
at risk.
(D Tips
When stopping at a traffic signal or stopping in city traffic, you can set the parking brake
manually. The vehicle does not have to be
he ld w ith the brake pedal. The parking brake
elim inates the tendency to creep when a se­
lector lever pos ition is engaged. As soon as
you press the accelerator pedal, the park ing
brake releases automat ica lly and your vehicle
s tarts to move
~ page 62.
(D Tips
- Occasiona l noises when the par king b rake is
set and re leased a re normal and a re not a
cause for con cern.
- T he par king brake goes th ro ugh a se lf-test
cycle at regular intervals when the veh icle is
stoppe d. Any noises associated w ith this a re
no rma l.
- If there is a power fa ilure, the p arking bra ke
will not set if it is re leased, and it will not
release if it is
set~ &.. See an authorized
A udi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa­
cility for ass istance.

Fig. 186 Engine compa rtment: washer flu id reservo ir cap
The windshield washer reservoir W contains the
cleaning solution for the windshie ld and the
headlight washer
system* ¢ page 236, fig . 180.
The reservoir capacity can be found in
¢page 288.
To reduce the risk of lime sca le deposits on the
spray nozzles, use clean water with low amounts
of calc ium. A lways add window cleaner to the wa­
ter. When the outs ide temperatures are cold, an
anti -freezing agent should be added to the water
so that it does not freeze.
@ Note
-The concentration of anti-freezing agent
must be adjusted to the vehicle operating
cond itions in the respective climate. A con­
ce ntrat ion that is too high can lead to vehi­
cl e damage.
- Never add radiator anti-freeze or other addi­
tives to the washer fluid.
Checking and Filling
- Do not use a glass cleaner that contains
paint so lvents, because t his could damage
the paint.
