Opening and closing


— Locked doors make it more difficult for
emergency workers to get into the vehicle,
which puts lives at risk. Do not leave anyone
behind in the vehicle, especially children.

@ Tips
Your vehicle locks automatically when it
reaches a speed of 9 mph (15 km/h) (Auto
Lock) = page 21. You can unlock the vehicle
again using the @ button in the central lock-
ing switch.

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
=> page 250.

sporty style. Show respect to others around
you and the environment with the way you op-
erate your vehicle, especially at night.
Steering
Adjusting the steering wheel position
The steering wheel position is fully adjustable up
and down and forward and back.

tion during a collision. Always make sure
that the steering wheel is level with your
chest.
— Always hold the steering wheel with your
hands in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi-
tions to reduce the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys.
— Never hold the steering wheel in the 12
o'clock position or with both hands on the
rim or the center of the steering wheel.
Holding the steering wheel incorrectly sig-
nificantly increases the risk of injury to the
hands, arms and head if the airbag deploys.



ZA WARNING
Incorrect use of the steering wheel adjust-
ment and an incorrect seating position can
cause serious injuries.
— Only adjust the steering column when the
vehicle is stationary so that you do not lose
control of the vehicle.
— Adjust the driver's seat or steering wheel so
that there is at least a 10 in (25 cm) dis-
tance between your chest and the steering
wheel. If you do not maintain this distance,
you will not be properly protected by the air-
bag system.
— If your physical characteristics prevent you
from sitting at least 10 in (25 cm) or more
away from the steering wheel, see if an au-
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility can provide adapters that
will help.
— If your face is level with the steering wheel,
the airbag does not provide as much protec-

@) 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
held with the brake pedal. The parking brake
eliminates the tendency to creep when a se-
lector lever position is engaged. As soon as
you press the accelerator pedal, the parking
brake releases automatically and the vehicle
starts to move > page 61.
G) Tips
— Occasional noises when the parking brake is
set and released are normal and are not a
cause for concern.
— The parking brake goes through a self-test
cycle at regular intervals when the vehicle is
stopped. Any noises associated with this are
normal.
— If there is a power failure, the parking brake
will not set if it is released, and it will not
release if it is set > A\. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa-
cility for assistance.
Starting to drive
Various convenience and safety functions may be
available when the vehicle begins driving, de-
pending on vehicle equipment.
Starting on hills with the parking brake set
Requirement: the driver's door must be closed.
> To start driving comfortably when on a hill, set
the parking brake and begin driving as usual.
The braking force of the parking brake does not
release automatically until the wheels build up
enough driving force.
Starting on hills with hill hold assist
Hill hold assist makes it easier to start on hills.
Requirement: the driver's door must be closed
and the engine must be running.
> To activate hill hold assist, press and hold the
brake pedal for several seconds. The vehicle
must be facing uphill.
After releasing the brake pedal, the braking pow-
er is maintained briefly > A\ to prevent the vehi-
cle from rolling back when starting. This allows
you to begin driving more easily.

ZX WARNING
Applies to: vehicles with hill hold assist
— If you do not begin driving immediately or
the engine stalls after releasing the brake
pedal, your vehicle may begin to roll back-
ward. Press the brake pedal or set the park-
ing brake immediately.
— The intelligent technology of hill hold assist
cannot overcome the limitations imposed by
natural physical laws. The increased comfort
offered by hill hold assist should not cause
you to take safety risks.
— Hill hold assist cannot hold the vehicle in
place on all hills (for example, if the ground
is slippery or icy).
—To reduce the risk of an accident, always
make sure the vehicle is situated safely
while stationary.

Automatic transmission
Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically-
controlled DSG transmission called S tronic. Two
independent clutches transfer the power be-
tween the engine and transmission. It allows the
vehicle to accelerate without a noticeable inter-
ruption in traction.
The transmission upshifts or downshifts auto-
matically. The driving style continuously influen-
ces the selection of the driving program.
When a moderate driving style is used, the
transmission selects the most economical driving
mode. The transmission upshifts at a lower RPM
and downshifts at a higher RPM to improve fuel
efficiency.
The transmission switches to a sporty mode after
a kick-down or when the driver uses a sporty driv-
ing style characterized by quick accelerator pedal
movements, heavy acceleration, frequent

changes in speed, and traveling at the maximum
speed.
If desired, the driver can also select the gears
manually (tiptronic mode).

The back-up lights switch on in the R position if
the ignition is switched on.
N - Neutral
The transmission is in idle in this position.
D/S - Normal position for driving forward
In the D/S selector lever position, the transmis-
sion can be operated either in the normal D mode
or in the S sport mode. To select the S sport
mode, pull the selector lever back briefly. Pulling
the lever back again will select the normal D

mode. The selected driving mode is shown in the
Infotainment display.
In the normal mode "D", the transmission auto-
matically selects the correct gear. It depends on
engine load, vehicle speed and driving style.
Select the sport mode "S" for sporty driving. The
vehicle makes full use of the engine's power.
Shifting may become noticeable when accelerat-
ing.
To move from selector lever position "N" to "D",
you must press the brake pedal and the vehicle
must be traveling less than 1 mph (2 km/h) or be
stationary > A.

Z\ WARNING
Read and follow all WARNINGS.
— Before starting to drive, check if the desired
selector lever position is displayed next to
the selector lever.
— The vehicle can roll even if the ignition is
switched off.
— Never select "R" or "P" while driving, be-
cause this increases the risk of an accident.
— Power is still transmitted to the wheels
when the engine is running at idle. To pre-
vent the vehicle from “creeping”, you must
keep your foot on the brake in all selector
lever positions (except “P”) when the engine
is running. Otherwise, this increases the risk
of an accident.
— Do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped if a gear is
engaged. Otherwise the vehicle will start to
move immediately, even if the parking brake
is set. This could result in a crash.
— Do not press the accelerator pedal when
changing the selector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
running.
— Never leave your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear. If you must leave your
vehicle when the engine is running, set the
parking brake and move the selector lever to
the "P" position.
—To decrease the risk of an accident, the se-
lector lever must be in the P position and
