8/8 Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC)

If the B indicator light blinks while driving, the
ESC or ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation) is actively regu-
lating.
If the BB 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 fully functional.
If the B indicator light turns on, ESC was
switched off using the |£*| button > page 87.


Stabilization control (ESC/ABS): malfunction!
See owner's manual
If the B indicator lamp and the fs / &) ABS in-
dicator lamp turn on and the driver message ap-
pears, the ABS or electronic differential lock is
malfunctioning. This also causes the ESC to mal-
function. The brakes still function with their nor-
mal power, but ABS is not active.

Automatic dimming rearview mirror*
> The interior rearview mirror and exterior mir-
rors* dim automatically when light shines on
them, for example from headlights on a vehicle
behind you.

Z\ WARNING
Electrolyte fluid can leak from automatic dim-
ming mirrors if the glass is broken. Electrolyte
fluid can irritate skin, eyes and airways.
— Repeated or long-term exposure to electro-
lyte fluid can lead to irritation of the air-
ways, especially in people with asthma or
other respiratory conditions. Take deep
breaths immediately after leaving the vehi-
cle or, if this is not possible, open all of the
doors
and windows as wide as possible.
— If electrolyte fluid enters the eyes, flush
them thoroughly with a large amount of
clean water for at least 15 minutes and then
seek medical attention.
— If electrolyte fluid comes into contact with
the skin, flush the affected area with clean
water for at least 15 minutes and then clean
with soap and water and seek medical atten-
tion. Clean affected clothing and shoes thor-
oughly before wearing again.
— If the fluid was swallowed and the person is
conscious, flush the mouth with water for at
least 15 minutes. Do not induce vomiting
unless this is recommended by medical pro-
fessionals. Seek medical attention immedi-



ately.

@) Note
If the glass on an automatic dimming mirror
breaks, electrolyte can leak out. This liquid
damages plastic surfaces. Remove the liquid
as quickly as possible, for example using a
wet sponge.

droplets, the windshield wipers perform one af-
terwipe after several seconds while driving in
temperatures above 39 °F (4 °C). You can switch
this function off by moving the lever to position
©) within 10 seconds of the afterwipe. The after-
wipe function is reactivated the next time you
switch the ignition on.
Clean the headlights*. The headlight washer sys-
tem* only functions when the lights are switched
on. The headlights are automatically cleaned the
first time and every fifth time the lever is moved
to position @).

Z\ WARNING
— The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver may still be responsi-
ble for manually switching the wipers on
based on visibility conditions.
— The windshield must not be treated with
water-repelling windshield coating agents.
Unfavorable conditions, such as wetness,
darkness, and when the sun is low, can
cause increased glare, which increases the
risk of an accident. Wiper blade chatter is al-
so possible.
— Properly functioning windshield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving > page 44, Replacing windshield
wiper blades.

() Note
— If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind-
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind-
shield can damage the wiper blades.
— The windshield wiper system must be
switched off (lever in position 0) before us-
ing
a car wash. This prevents the wipers
from switching on unintentionally and caus-
ing damage to the windshield wiper system.
Gi) Tips
— The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is switched off. You can activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched on again by moving the windshield
wiper lever to any position.
— Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result
in streaking. This can affect the rain sensor*
function. Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly.
—The washer fluid nozzles in the windshield
washer system are heated* at low tempera-
tures when the ignition is on.
—When stopping temporarily, such as ata
traffic light, the speed of the windshield
wipers automatically reduces by one level.
Cleaning windshield wiper blades
Clean the wiper blades when you see wiper
streaks. Clean the wiper blades with a soft towel
and glass cleaner.
> Place the windshield wiper arms in the service
position > page 44.
> Fold the windshield wiper arms away from the
windshield.

ZA WARNING
Dirty windshield wiper blades can impair vi-
sion, which increases the risk of an accident.

@ until the compass display in the mirror turns
on or off.
The digital compass only works when the ignition
is turned on. The directions are indicated with ab-
breviations: N (north), NE (northeast), E (east),
SE (southeast), S (south), SW (southwest), W
(west), NW (northwest).
(i) Tips
To prevent inaccurate compass readings, do
not bring any remote controls, electrical devi-
ces or metallic objects near the mirror.

Intelligent Technology


— There is no vehicle stabilization when
ESC/ASR are switched off.

@) Tips
— When the cruise control system* is switched
on, ESC/ASR cannot be switched off or sport
mode cannot be switched on.
— Malfunctions in the rear spoiler or the Audi
magnetic ride may make it impossible to
switch the ESC/ASR off or to switch sport
mode on.
Brakes
You can apply the vehicle's brakes using the brake
pedal.
Operating noise
Noises may occur when braking depending on the
speed, braking force, and outside conditions such
as temperature and humidity.
Braking effect
The response time from the brakes depends on
the weather and environmental conditions. To
ensure the optimum braking effect, the brake
system is cleaned at regular intervals. This is
done by applying the brake pads to the brake ro-
tors for a short period of time when driving at
high speeds when the windshield wipers are
switched on.
If the brake system becomes damp, for example
after driving in heavy rain, the braking effect may
be delayed. Other factors that could temporarily
increase the response time of the brakes include:
— Wet conditions
— Low temperatures, ice, and snow
— Roads covered in salt
— Dirty brake pads
Corrosion
Corrosion may form on the brake rotors if there is
no heavy braking, if the vehicle is not driven for
long periods of time, or if the vehicle is not driv-
en
frequently or for long distances. In this case,
braking heavily several times while driving at
high speeds can clean the brake rotors > A\.
838
Brake pads
New brake pads do not achieve their full braking
effect during the first 250 miles (400 km). They
must be “broken in” first. However, you can com-
pensate for the slightly reduced braking force by
pressing firmly on the brake pedal. Avoid heavy
braking during the break-in period.
Brake pad wear depends largely on the way the
vehicle is driven and on operating conditions.
Brake pad wear increases when driving frequently
in the city or short distances or when using a very
sporty driving style.
Ceramic brakes
Applies to: vehicles with ceramic brakes
Ceramic brakes provide excellent deceleration
rates.
The break-in period for new ceramic brakes may
be significantly longer than for standard brake
rotors. Due to the properties of the material,
they may cause noises at lower speeds. Ceramic
brakes also absorb more moisture in wet condi-
tions. Therefore, there will temporarily be less
braking force than when the brakes are dry. You
can compensate for this by pressing the brake
pedal harder.

A WARNING
— Only apply the brakes for the purpose of
cleaning the brake system when road and
traffic conditions permit. You must not en-
danger other road users and increase the
risk of an accident.
— Due to the risk of injury, only have an au-
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility work on the brake system.
Incorrect repairs could impair the function.
— Never let the vehicle roll while the engine is
stopped because this increases the risk of an
accident.
— Depending on vehicle equipment, the brake
pedal may move downward automatically
during autonomous braking maneuvers. To
reduce the risk of injury, do not place your
foot under the brake pedal.

Care and cleaning

Care and cleaning
General information
Regular, proper care helps to maintain your vehi-
cle's value. It can also be a requirement when
submitting warranty claims for corrosion damage
and paint defects on the body.
The necessary care products can be obtained
from an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Au-
di Service Facility. Read and follow the instruc-
tions for use on the packaging.

ZA\ WARNING
— Using cleaning and care products incorrectly
can be dangerous to your health.
— Always store cleaning and care products out
of reach of children to reduce the risk of poi-

soning.

@ For the sake of the environment
— Purchase environmentally-friendly cleaning
products if possible.
— Do not dispose of cleaning and care prod-
ucts with household trash.
Car washes
The longer that deposits remain on the vehicle,
the more the surface may be damaged. High
temperatures such as those caused by sunlight
increase the damaging effect.
Before washing, rinse off heavy deposits with
plenty of water.
Stubborn deposits such as bird droppings or tree
sap are best removed with plenty of water anda
microfiber cloth.
Also, wash the underside of your vehicle once
road salt stops being used for the season.
Pressure washers
When washing your vehicle with a pressure wash-
er, always follow the operating instructions pro-
vided with the pressure washer. This is especially
important in regard to the pressure and spraying
distance. Do not direct the stream of water di-
rectly onto seals for the side windows, doors, lug-
262
gage compartment lid or hood or onto the tires,
rubber hoses, insulating material, sensors*, or
camera lenses*. Keep a distance of at least 16 in
(40 cm).
Do not remove snow and ice with a pressure
washer.
Never use cone nozzles or high pressure nozzles.
The water temperature must not be above 140 °F
(60 °C).
Automatic car wash
Spray off the vehicle before washing.
Make sure that the windows are closed and the
windshield wipers are off. Follow instructions
from the car wash operator, especially if there are
accessories attached to your vehicle.
If possible, use car washes that do not have
brushes.
Washing by hand
Clean the vehicle starting from the top and work-
ing downward using a soft sponge or cleaning
brush. Use solvent-free cleaning products.
Washing vehicles with matte finish paint by
hand
To reduce the risk of damaging the paint when
washing, first remove dust and large particles
from your vehicle. Insects, grease spots, and fin-
gerprints are best removed with a special cleaner
for matte finish paint.
Apply the product using a microfiber cloth. To re-
duce the risk of damaging the paint surface, do
not use too much pressure.
Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with water. Then
clean using a neutral shampoo and a soft micro-
fiber cloth.
Rinse the vehicle thoroughly again and let it air
dry. Remove any water residue using a chamois.

ZA\ WARNING
—To reduce the risk of accidents, only wash
the vehicle when the ignition is off and fol-
low the instructions from the car wash oper-
ator.
