Fig. 93 Center console: Start/Stop system button

ly, press the [| button. The LED in the button
turns on when the system is switched off.
G) Tips
If you switch the system off during a Stop
phase, the engine will start again automati-
cally.
ee melee
Applies to: vehicles with Start/Stop system


Start/stop system: deactivated. Please start
engine manually
This message appears when specific conditions
are not met during a Stop phase. The Start/Stop
system will not be able to restart the engine. The
engine must be started manually.
Start/stop system: malfunction! Function
unavailable
There is a malfunction in the Start/Stop system.
Drive the vehicle to an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Service Facility as soon as possible to
have the malfunction corrected.
Brakes
General information
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. If the
brake system becomes damp, for example after
driving in heavy rain, the braking effect may be
delayed. Other factors that could temporarily in-
crease the response time of the brakes include:
— Wet conditions
— Low temperatures, ice, and snow
— Roads covered in salt
— Dirty brake pads
To ensure the optimal 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.
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. This can
cause noises when braking as well as an uneven
braking effect. In this case, braking heavily sever-
al times while driving at high speeds can clean
the brake rotors > A\.
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. >

tive routes, if desired.

If you have connected a mobile device to the
MMI, your directory contacts will also be listed if
they have navigation data assigned to them.
The Favorites (4) menu item as well as the direc-
tory/contacts are only shown in the Enter desti-
nation menu if you have entered one or more
characters using the input field.
Switching between the destination entry and
the map

— Press the [NAV/MAP] button repeatedly until
the map is displayed, or
— Select: left control button > Switch to map.


ZA WARNING
— The demands of traffic require your full at-
tention. Always read the chapter
= page 237, Driving safety.
— The route calculated by the navigation sys-
tem is a driving recommendation. Follow


the traffic regulations that are applicable in
the country where you are operating the ve-
hicle. In the event that the driving directions
contradict traffic regulations, always follow
the traffic regulations applicable in the
country where you are operating the vehicle
to reduce the risk of an accident.

Gi) Tips
— Snow and obstructions on the GPS antenna
or interference caused by trees and large
buildings can impair satellite reception and
affect the system's ability to determine the
vehicle position. Several deactivated or mal-
functioning satellites can also interrupt GPS
reception and affect the system's ability to
determine the vehicle position.
— Because street names sometimes change,
the names stored in the MMI may in rare
cases differ from the actual street name.

The map view is based on data packets received
from the Internet in the form of satellite images,
which are then combined with the roadways from
the Standard map view. There are two gigabytes
of memory space in the MMI memory that can be
used to temporarily store the map or navigation
data that was received. This is roughly the
amount required for the map/navigation data for
a 2,485 mile (4,000 km) route. As long as the
satellite images loaded for route guidance are
stored, you can use them without having an ac-
tive data connection.
