Vehicle functions
On-board computer
Depending on the vehicle equipment, you may be
able to access the following information in this
order on the on-board computer > page 10, fig. 3
@:
—Time and date > page 171
— Average consumption
— Short-term memory overview
— Long-term memory overview
— Energy consumers > page 15
— Driver assistance
— Traffic sign recognition
The short-term memory collects driving informa-
tion from the time the ignition is switched on un-
til it is switched off. If you continue driving within
two hours after switching the ignition off, the
new values are included when calculating the cur-
rent trip information.
Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automatically. You can se-
lect the time period for evaluating trip informa-
tion yourself.
Energy consumers*
The Energy consumers view lists other equip-
ment that is currently affecting fuel consump-
tion. The display shows up to three equipment
items. The equipment using the most power is
listed first. If more than three items using power
are switched on, the equipment that is currently
using the most power is displayed. A chart also
shows you the current total of all other consum-
ers.
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption can be shown using
a bar graph. The average consumption stored in
the short-term memory is also displayed. If the
bar is green, your vehicle is saving fuel through
one of the following functions:
— Recuperation: electrical energy can be stored in
the battery when the vehicle is coasting or driv-
ing downhill. The bar will move toward (1.

Boost indicator
The current engine load (meaning the current
boost pressure) is indicated by a bar.
Shift light indicator
Applies to: vehicles with shift light indicator
The
shift light indicator informs the driver when
the rpm limit is reached.
Accessing the shift light indicator
Requirement: tiptronic mode must be activated

> Select the sport view > page 13. The shift light
indicator is displayed with green, yellow and
red ranges in the upper areas of the tachome-
ter.
The shift light indicator will blink red when ap-
proaching the engine speed limit. Shift to the
next highest gear at the right time.
Sy eame ENE
Applies to: vehicles with Sport displays
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the sport
displays may include the G-meter, the engine da-
ta and the tire pressure monitoring system. You
can access the sport displays in the central area
or in the additional display in the driver informa-
tion system. >

Driving

Driving
General information
A new vehicle must be broken in within the first
1,000 miles (1,500 km) so that all moving parts
work smoothly together, which helps to increase
the service life of the engine.
Do not drive higher than two-thirds of the maxi-
mum permitted engine RPM during the first 600
miles (1,000 km) and do not use full accelera-
tion. The engine can be increased RPM gradually
during the next 300 miles (500 km).

@) Note
When driving on poor roads, over curbs, and
on steep ramps, make sure that components
that hang below the vehicle, such as the spoil-
er and exhaust system, are not struck because
they could be damaged. This especially ap-
plies to vehicles with low ground clearance
and vehicles that are heavily loaded.
Driving through water on roads
Note the following to reduce the risk of vehicle
damage when driving through water, for example
on flooded roads:
— The water must not be any higher than the bot-
tom of the vehicle body.
— Do not drive faster than walking speed.

ZA\ WARNING
After driving through water or mud, the effec-
tiveness of the brakes may be reduced due to
moisture on the brake rotors and brake pads.
A few careful brake applications should dry off
the brakes and restore the full braking effect.
@) Note
Vehicle components such as the engine,
transmission, suspension, or electrical sys-


56
tem, can be severely damaged by driving
through water.
G) Tips
— Determine the depth before driving through
water.
— Do not stop the vehicle, drive in reverse, or
switch the engine off when driving through
water.
— Keep in mind that oncoming vehicles may
create waves that raise the water level and
make it too deep for your vehicle to drive
through safely.
— Avoid driving through salt water, because
this can cause corrosion.
Efficient and environmentally-conscious

The amount of fuel consumption, the environ-
mental impact, and the wear to the engine,
brakes, and tires depends mostly on your driving
style. Note the following information for efficient
and environmentally-conscious driving:
— Do not let the engine run while the vehicle
parked.
— Turn off electrical equipment that is not need-
ed, for example seat heating*.
— Anticipate upcoming traffic situations while
driving to avoid unnecessary acceleration and
braking.
— Utilize the engine braking effect.
— Avoid driving short distances or at high speeds
when possible.
— Avoid adding extra weight to the vehicle if pos-
sible, for example by not leaving roof racks or
bike racks installed when they are not needed.
— Have maintenance performed regularly on the
vehicle.
— Do not drive with winter tires during the summ-
ef,
— Make sure the tire pressure is correct

ing.
Adding coolant
Requirement: there must be a residual amount of
coolant in the expansion tank >@.
If you must add coolant, use a mixture of water
and coolant additive. Mixing the coolant additive
with distilled water is recommended.

Add more coolant if necessary.
> Close the cap securely.
Coolant loss usually indicates that there is a leak.
Immediately drive your vehicle to an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility
and have the cooling system inspected. If the
cooling system is not leaking, coolant loss can re-
sult from the coolant boiling due overheating
and then being forced out of the cooling system.

compartment. This increases the risk of
burns. The cooling system is under pressure.
When you no longer see or hear steam or
coolant escaping, you may open the engine
compartment with caution.
— When working in the engine compartment,
remember that the radiator fan can switch
on even if the ignition is switched off, which
increases the risk of injury.
— Coolant additive and coolant can be danger-
ous to your health. For this reason, store the
coolant in the original container and away
from children. There is a risk of poisoning.


@) Note
Do not add coolant if the expansion tank is
empty. Air could enter the cooling system and
damage the engine. If this is the case, do not
continue driving. See an authorized Audi deal-
er or authorized Audi Service Facility for assis-
tance.

limits > page 252.
Tires and vehicle load limits
There
are limits to the amount of
load or weight that any vehicle
and any tire can carry. A vehicle
that is overloaded will not handle
well and is more difficult to stop.
Overloading can not only lead to
loss of vehicle control, but can al-
so damage important parts of the
vehicle and can lead to sudden
tire failure, including a blowout
and sudden deflation that can
cause the vehicle to crash.

Your safety and that of your pas-
sengers also depends on making
sure that load limits are not ex-
ceeded. Vehicle load includes ev-
erybody and everything in and on

Care and cleaning



—To reduce the risk of cuts, protect yourself
from sharp metal components when wash-
ing the underbody or the inside of the wheel
housings.
— After washing the vehicle, the braking effect
may be delayed due to moisture on the
brake rotors or ice in the winter. This in-
creases the risk of an accident. The brakes
must be dried with a few careful brake appli-
cations.

@) Note
— If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must retract the extendable rear
spoiler* if necessary, and fold the exterior
mirrors in to reduce the risk of damage.
Power folding exterior mirrors* must only
be folded in and out using the power folding
function.
—To reduce the risk of paint damage, do not
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
—To reduce the risk of damage, do not wash —To
reduce the risk of damage, do not wash
the power top with a pressure washer.
—To reduce the risk of damage to the surface,
do not use insect removing sponges, kitchen
sponges, or similar items.
— When washing matte finish painted vehicle
components:
— To reduce the risk of damage to the sur-
face, do not use polishing agents or hard
wax.
— Never use protective wax. It can destroy
the matte finish effect.
— Do not place any stickers or magnetic
signs on vehicle components painted with
matte finish paint. The paint could be
damaged when the stickers or magnets
are removed.
@) For the sake of the environment
Only wash the vehicle in facilities specially de-
signed for that purpose. This will reduce the
risk of dirty water contaminated with oil from
decorative decals* with a pressure washer.
