Lights and Vision 
  
Operating the headlight flasher 
> To operate the headlight flashers, pull the lever 
back @) > page 44, fig. 38. If the high beam as- 
sistant is activated, but the high beams were 
not turned off, the high beam assistant remains 
activated. 
  
Z\ WARNING 
— Follow the safety precautions and note the 
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and 
cameras = page 104. 
— High beam assistant is only intended to as- 
sist the driver. The driver is still responsible 
for controlling the headlights and may need 
to switch them on and off manually depend- 
ing on light and visibility conditions. 
— High beams can cause glare for other driv- 
ers, which increases the risk of an accident. 
For this reason, only use  the high beams or 
the headlight flasher when they will not cre- 
    
ate glare for other drivers. 
Adjusting the exterior  lighting 
You can adjust the exterior lighting separately. 
The settings depend on the vehicle equipment. 
  
> Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen: 
VEHICLE > Light & Visibility > Exterior light- 
ing. 
Automatic headlights 
You can adjust the following settings in the Auto- 
matic 
headlights menu: 
Activation time - You can adjust if the headlights 
switch on Early, Medium, or Late based on the 
sensitivity of the light sensor. 
High beam assistant - You can switch the high 
beam assistant on and off. 
Entry/exit lighting 
When it is dark, selecting Entry/exit lighting will 
illuminate the area around the vehicle when un- 
locking the vehicle and after switching off the ig- 
nition and opening the driver's door. The entry/ 
exit lighting only works when it is dark and the 
light switch is in the AUTO light function. 
Daytime running lights 
USA  models: The daytime running lights can be 
turned on and off. 
Canada models: this function cannot be switched 
off. They activate automatically each time the ig- 
nition is switched on. 
Emergency flashers 
  
[RAZ.0469 
  
      
Fig. 39 Center console: Emergency flashers 
The emergency flashers help to make other driv- 
ers aware of your vehicle in dangerous situations. 
» Press the A @ button to switch the emergency 
flashers on or off. 
You can indicate a lane change or a turn when the 
emergency flashers are switched on by using the 
turn signal lever. The emergency flashers stop 
temporarily. 
The emergency flashers also work when the igni- 
tion is turned off. 
@ Tips 
You should switch the emergency flashers on 
this 
— you are the last car in a traffic jam so that 
all other vehicles approaching from behind 
can  see your vehicle 
— your vehicle has broken down or you are 
having an emergency 
— your vehicle is being towed or if you are tow- 
ing another vehicle 
If the 2} indicator light turns on, a bulb has 
failed. The displayed message indicates the cause >

Driving dynamic 
  
@ Tips 
If the & or Al indicator light only stays on 
for a short time, you may continue driving. 
All wheel drive (quattro) 
Applies to: vehicles with all wheel drive 
The all-wheel drive system distributes the driving 
power variably to the front and rear axle to im- 
prove the driving characteristics. It works togeth- 
er with selective wheel torque control, which can 
activate when driving through curves 
=> page 99. 
The all-wheel drive system is designed for high 
engine power. Your vehicle is exceptionally pow- 
erful and has excellent driving characteristics 
both under normal driving conditions and on 
snow and ice. Always read and follow safety pre- 
cautions > A\. 
  
ZA WARNING 
— Even in vehicles with all wheel drive, you 
should adapt your driving style to the cur- 
rent road and traffic conditions to reduce 
the risk of an accident. 
— The braking ability of your vehicle is limited 
to the traction of the wheels. In this way, it 
is not different from a two wheel drive  vehi- 
cle. Do not drive too fast because this in- 
creases the risk of an accident. 
— Note that on wet streets, the front wheels 
can “hydroplane” if driving at speeds that 
are too high. Unlike front wheel drive vehi- 
cles, the engine does not rev higher sudden- 
ly when the vehicle begins hydroplaning. For 
this reason, adapt your speed to the road 
conditions to reduce the risk of an accident. 
Messages 
i All-wheel drive: malfunction! You can con- 
tinue driving. Please contact Service 
      
Drive immediately to an authorized Audi dealer 
or authorized Audi Service Facility to have the 
malfunction repaired. 
98 
73} All-wheel drive: too hot. Please adapt driv- 
ing style. See owner's manual 
The transmission temperature has increased sig- 
nificantly due to the sporty driving manner. Drive 
in a less sporty manner until the temperature re- 
turns to the normal range and the indicator light 
switches of. 
Electronic Stabilization 
Control 
Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) supports 
driver safety. It reduces the risk of slipping and 
improves driving stability. ESC detects critical sit- 
uations, such as if the vehicle is oversteering or 
understeering, or if the wheels are spinning. The 
vehicle is stabilized by applying the brakes or re- 
ducing engine torque. 
If the Eq indicator light blinks while driving, the 
ESC is actively regulating. 
If the B indicator light turns on, the system has 
switched the ESC off. In this case, you can switch 
the ignition off and then on to switch the ESC on 
again. The  indicator light turns off when the sys- 
tem is functioning fully. 
If the B indicator light turns on, ESC was limit- 
ed or switched off manually > page 99. 
The following systems are integrated in the ESC: 
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) 
ABS prevents the wheels from locking when brak- 
ing. The vehicle can still be steered even during 
hard braking. Apply steady pressure to the brake 
pedal. Do not pump the pedal. A pulsing in the 
brake pedal indicates that the system is acting to 
stabilize the vehicle. 
Brake assist 
The  brake assist system can decrease braking dis- 
tance. It increases braking power when the driver 
presses the brake pedal quickly in emergency sit- 
uations. You must press and hold the brake pedal 
until the dangerous situation is over. Depending 
on the activated driver assistance systems, the >

Assist systems 
General information 
Safety precautions 
  
ZA WARNING 
— As the driver, you are always completely re- 
sponsible for all driving tasks. The assist 
systems cannot replace the driver's atten- 
tion. Give your full attention to driving the 
vehicle, and be ready to intervene in the 
traffic situation at all times. 
— Activate the assist systems only if the sur- 
rounding conditions permit it. Always adapt 
your driving style to the current visual, 
weather, road, and traffic conditions. 
— Loose objects can be thrown around the ve- 
hicle interior during sudden driving or brak- 
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk of 
an accident. Store objects securely while 
driving. 
— For the assist systems to be able to react 
correctly, the function of the sensors and 
cameras must not be restricted. Note the in- 
formation on sensors and cameras 
=> page 105 or > page 106. 
      
@ Tips 
— Pay attention to applicable local regulations 
relating to driving tasks, leaving space for 
emergency vehicles, vehicle distance, speed, 
parking location, wheel placement, etc. The 
driver is always responsible for following 
the laws that are applicable in the location 
where the vehicle is being operated. 
— You can cancel a steering or braking inter- 
vention by the system, by braking or accel- 
erating noticeably, steering, or deactivating 
the respective assist system. 
— Always check the assist systems settings be- 
fore driving. 
104 
System limitations 
ZA WARNING 
— The use of an assist system cannot over- 
come the natural laws of physics. A collision 
cannot be prevented in certain circumstan- 
ces. 
  
— Warnings, messages, or indicator lights may 
not be displayed or initiated on time or cor- 
rectly,  for example, if vehicles are approach- 
ing very fast. 
— Corrective interventions by the assist sys- 
tems, such as steering or braking interven- 
tions, may not be sufficient or they may not 
occur. Always be ready to intervene. 
G) Tips 
— Due to the system limitations when detect- 
ing the surrounding area, the systems  may 
warn or intervene unexpectedly or too late 
in certain situations. The assist systems  may 
also interpret a driving maneuver incorrectly 
and then warn the driver unexpectedly. 
  
    
— The systems may not function as expected 
in unusual driving situations, such as driving 
offroad, on unpaved roads, on loose ground, 
on inclines, or on grooves in the road. 
— The systems may not function correctly in 
unclear traffic situations, such as turning 
lanes, exit ramps, construction zones, rises 
or dips that obstruct visibility, intersections, 
toll stations, or city traffic. 
—In trailer mode, some assist systems may be 
limited, may not react as usual, or may be 
unavailable. Please refer to the instructions 
for towing a trailer located in > page 101. 
— If accessories have been mounted on the 
steering wheel, the ability for the steering 
systems to react may be limited.
