pressed. To reduce the risk of an accident,
do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal and always shift into “P” when the ve-
hicle is stopped.
— If the power supply fails, you cannot set the
parking brake once it is released, or release
it if it is set. In this case, park the vehicle on
level ground and secure it by engaging the
"P” gear. Contact an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility for assis-
tance.

ZA WARNING
— If you do not begin driving immediately af-
ter releasing the brake pedal, your vehicle
may begin to roll backward. Press the brake
pedal
or set the parking brake immediately.
— The hill hold assist cannot hold the vehicle
on inclines in every scenario (for example,


on slippery or icy ground).

Sporty driving
Applies to: RS model
When driving in a sporty style, for example ona
driving track, the wear on all vehicle components
is greatly increased, especially on the engine,
transmission, tires, brakes, and suspension. This
can result in increased wear. Also note the fol-
lowing points:
— Make sure the vehicle is in good condition.
Make sure to check the brake pads, tire tread,
and tire pressure (when tires are warm).
— Beforehand, warm up the engine by driving no
higher than two-thirds of the maximum permit-
ted engine RPM. The engine oil temperature
must be brought to a minimum of 140 °F
(60 °C).
— Before stopping the vehicle, allow the engine
and brakes to cool back down to a regular oper-
ating temperature by driving normally.
If necessary, use the following functions:
— Dynamic Audi drive select mode* > page 96
— Launch Control > page 84
— Limit ESC > page 106

@) Tips
Wear caused by load does not constitute a ve-
hicle fault as defined by the terms of the war-
ranty.
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 shifts up or down automatically
depending on which drive program is selected.
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) > page 83.

Driving

P - Park
You can only shift into Park when the vehicle is
stationary > A.
To shift in and out of the P selector lever position,
press the interlock button in the selector lever
while pressing the brake pedal.
R - Reverse
Only shift into reverse gear when the vehicle is
stationary and the engine is running at idle
speed >A.
To select the R selector lever position, press the
interlock button while pressing the brake pedal.
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.


— 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
the parking brake must be set before open-
ing the hood and working ona running en-
gine. Always read and follow the applicable
warnings > page 200, General information.


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.

80
@) Note
Never let the vehicle roll downhill with engine
off and the selector lever in the "N" position,
because this could damage the automatic
transmission and catalytic converter.
G) Tips
— Drive select: sporty shifting characteristics
can be selected using the Dynamic driving
mode. The Infotainment display shows S as
the selector lever position instead of D.
—
If you accidentally select "N" while driving,
take your foot off the accelerator pedal im-
mediately and wait for the engine to slow
down to idle before selecting "D" or "S".
—If there is a power failure, the selector lever
will not move out of the "P" position. The >

press lock button on selector lever
The automatic shift lock only functions when the
vehicle is stationary or at speeds below 1 mph
(2 km/h). At higher speeds, the lock is automati-
cally deactivated in the "N" position.
The selector lever is not locked when shifting
quickly through "N", for example from "R" to "D".
This makes it possible to free the vehicle when it
is stuck by “rocking” it. The selector lever lock en-
gages if the lever stays in the "N" position longer
than approximately two seconds when the brake
pedal is not pressed.
Interlock button
The interlock button in the selector lever handle
prevents you from moving the selector Lever in-
advertently while in some selector lever posi-
tions. The positions that require the interlock
button to be pressed are marked in color in the il-
lustration > fig. 86.

Z\ WARNING
Read and follow all WARNINGS. > A\ in Selec-
tor lever positions on page 80.
G) Tips
— If the selector lever does not engage, there
is a malfunction. The engine is disabled to
prevent the vehicle from driving off uninten-
tionally. To allow the selector lever to en-
gage again, proceed as follows:
— Briefly press the brake pedal.
— If the vehicle does not move forward or in
reverse even though a drive position is se-
lected, proceed as follows:
— If the vehicle does not move in the desired

Kick-down enables maximum acceleration.
When you press the accelerator pedal down be-
yond the resistance point, the automatic trans-
mission downshifts into a lower gear and the en-
gine utilizes its full power, if the vehicle speed
and engine RPM permit. It shifts up into the next
higher gear once the maximum permitted engine
RPM is reached.

ZX WARNING
Please note that the wheels could spin on
slick or slippery roads when kick-down is ac-
tive.
Launch Control
Launch Control provides the best possible accel-
eration when starting from a stop.


Requirements
— The engine must be at operating temperature.
— The steering wheel must not be turned.
— ESC must be limited > page 106.

Speed warning system
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning system
The speed warning system helps you to stay be-
low a specified maximum speed that can be set,
changed or deleted in the Infotainment system.
The speed warning system warns you if you are
exceeding the maximum speed that you have set.
A warning tone will sound as soon as your speed
exceeds the stored value slightly. The ow in-
dicator light and a message will appear in the in-
strument cluster display at the same time. The
Ge) indicator light and the message turn off if
the speed falls back below the stored maximum
speed.
Setting a threshold is recommended if you would
like to be reminded when you reach a certain
maximum speed. Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gener-
al speed limit or if there is a specified maximum
speed for winter tires.
Setting the warning threshold

> Select in the Infotainment system: [MENU] but-
ton > Vehicle > left control button > Driver as-
sistance > Speed warning > Manual.
G) Tips
Regardless of the speed warning system, you
should always monitor your speed using the
speedometer and make sure you are following
the legal speed limit.
Messages
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning system

Manually set speed limit XX exceeded
The stored speed was exceeded.
Cruise control system
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
The cruise control system assists the driver in
maintaining a constant speed above approxi-
mately 15 mph (20 km/h). The system maintains
the desired speed by braking and accelerating.

ZA WARNING
— Always pay attention to the traffic around
your vehicle when the cruise control system
is in operation. As the driver, you are always
responsible for controlling your vehicle
speed and the distance between your vehicle
and
other vehicles.
— For safety reasons, cruise control should not
be used in the city, in stop-and-go traffic, on
winding roads, and when road conditions are
poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain,
and conditions that could lead to hydroplan-
ing), because this increases the risk of an ac-
cident.
— Switch the cruise control off temporarily
when driving in turning lanes, highway exits,
or in construction zones.
—To reduce the risk of an accident, you should
only resume the stored speed if it is suitable
for the current traffic conditions.
@) Note
Before driving downhill a long distance ona
steep hill, decrease your speed and select a
lower gear. This makes use of the engine brak-
ing effect and reduces the load placed on the
brakes.
@) Tips
The brake lights turn on when the brakes are
applied automatically.
