— Automatic* recirculation mode: auto recircula-
tion needs to be activated in the Infotainment
system. Select in the Infotainment system:
MENU] button > Vehicle > left control button >
Vehicle settings > Air conditioning > Auto re-
circulation. The air quality sensor that is de-
signed for diesel and gasoline exhaust auto-
matically switches the recirculation mode on or
off depending on the level of pollutants in the
outside air.


In recirculation mode, the air inside the vehicle is
circulated and filtered. This prevents the unfil-
tered air outside the vehicle from entering the
vehicle interior. Switching recirculation mode on
when driving through a tunnel or when sitting in
traffic is recommended > A\.
Pressing the <> button, AUTO or the &Y button
switches recirculation mode off.
® Defrosting
The windshield and side windows are defrosted
or cleared of condensation as quickly as possible.
The maximum amount of air flows mainly from
the vents below the windshield. Recirculation
mode switches off. The temperature is controlled
automatically.
The AUTO button switches the defroster off.
& Rear window defogger
If the rear window defogger is activated when
the ignition is switched on, the battery manage-
ment determines based on the battery charge if
it is possible to turn on. Otherwise, the rear win-
dow defogger functions with the engine running
and switches off automatically after approxi-
mately 10 - 20 minutes, depending on the out-
side temperature.
To prevent the rear window defogger from
switching off automatically, press and hold the
& button for more than two seconds. This re-
mains stored up to approximately 15 minutes af-
ter turning off the ignition.


ZX WARNING
You should not use the recirculation mode for
an extended period since no fresh air is drawn


in. With the air-conditioning switched off, the
windows can fog up, which increases the risk
of an accident.

or temperature could develop burns when
using the neck heating. To reduce the risk of
injury, these individuals should not use neck
heating.
— The output from the neck heating may be-
come very hot temporarily if the air vents in
the seats > fig. 80 are covered by clothing or
similar objects when the system is switched
on. This can cause burns on unprotected
skin exposed directly to the vents.
@ Tips

Switching the ignition on or off
If you would like to switch the ignition on with-
out starting the engine, follow these steps:

> Press the [START ENGINE STOP] button without
pressing the brake pedal.

Starting the engine
> Automatic transmission: press the brake pedal
and move the selector lever into the P or N po-
sition > A\.
> Press the [START ENGINE STOP] button. The
engine will start.



Equipment that uses a lot of electricity is switch-
ed off temporarily when you start the engine.
If the engine does not start immediately, the
starting procedure stops automatically after a
short time. If this is the case, repeat the starting
procedure after approximately 30 seconds.

ZA WARNING
—To reduce the risk of asphyxiation, never al-
low the engine to run in confined spaces.
— Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
— The brake booster and power steering only
work when the engine is running. If the en-
gine is off, you have to use more force when
steering or braking. The fact that you cannot
steer and brake as usual may increase the
risk of accidents and serious injuries.
() Note
Avoid high engine speed, full throttle, and
heavy engine load if the engine has not
reached operating temperature yet. You could
damage the engine.


@) For the sake of the environment
Do not let the engine run while parked to
warm up. Begin driving immediately. This re-
duces unnecessary emissions.
(i) Tips
— Some noise after starting the engine is nor-
mal and is no cause for concern.
— If you leave the vehicle with the ignition
switched on, the ignition will switch off af-
ter a certain amount of time. Make sure that
electrical equipment such as the exterior
lights are switched off.

Driving

Stopping the engine
> Bring the vehicle to a full stop.
> Press the [START ENGINE STOP] button.


Emergency off function*
If it is absolutely necessary, the engine can also
be turned off while driving at speeds starting at
4 mph (7 km/h). To stop the engine, press the
START ENGINE STOP] button twice in a row or


press and hold it one time.

Z\ WARNING
— Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop. Switching it
off before the vehicle has stopped may im-
pair the function of the brake booster and
power steering. You may need to use more
force when braking or steering. Because you
cannot brake and steer as you usually would,
this could lead to accidents and serious inju-
ries.
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the vehicle key with you. If you
do not do this, the engine could be started
and electrical equipment such as the power
windows could be activated. This can lead to
serious injuries.
— For safety reasons, always park the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position.
Otherwise, there is the risk that the vehicle
could roll unintentionally.
@) Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for
an extended period of time, heat builds up in
the engine compartment after the engine is
switched off and there is a risk of damaging
the engine. For this reason, let the engine run
at idle for approximately two minutes before
shutting it off.
@) Tips
For up to 10 minutes after stopping the en-
gine, the radiator fan may turn on again auto-
matically or it may continue to run, even if the
ignition is switched off.

Driving

> Place the selector lever in the “P” position.
> Turn the engine off > A\.
> Turn the steering wheel when parking on in-
clines so that the wheels will roll into the curb
if the vehicle starts moving.

ZA WARNING
— If the parking brake is set, it can release au-
tomatically when the accelerator pedal is
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.
— Emergency braking should only be used in
an emergency, when the when the standard
brake pedal is malfunctioning or obstructed.
During emergency braking, your vehicle will
brake similar to heavy braking. ESC and the
associated components (ABS, ASR, EDL) can-
not overcome the laws of physics. In corners
and when road or weather conditions are
bad, a full brake application can cause the
vehicle to skid or the rear end to swerve,
which increases the risk of an accident.
— If the power supply fails, you cannot set the
parking brake once it is released. In this
case, park the vehicle on level ground and
secure it by placing the selector lever in the
P position. See an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility for assis-
tance.
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the vehicle key with you. This
applies particularly when children remain in
the vehicle. Otherwise children could start
the
engine, release the parking brake or op-
erate electrical equipment such as power
windows, which increases the risk of an acci-
dent.
— No one should remain in the vehicle when it
is locked - especially children. Locked doors
make it more difficult for emergency work-
ers to get into the vehicle, which puts lives
at risk.

78
@) Note
Do not leave your vehicle unattended while
the engine is running, because this increases
the risk of an accident.
@) Tips
— Noises when the parking brake is set and re-
leased 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.
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
If you take your foot off of the brake pedal when
driving on hills, the braking force will be held for
several seconds. At that time, you can start driv-
ing without the vehicle rolling backward.
Requirement: the driver's door must be closed,
the engine must be on, and the vehicle must be
traveling uphill.
> To activate hill hold assist, press and hold the
brake pedal for several seconds while the vehi-
cle is stationary.

ZX WARNING
—To reduce the risk of an accident, always
make sure the vehicle is situated safely
while stationary.
— If the parking brake is set, it can release au-
tomatically when the accelerator pedal is >

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.

@) 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".

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
direction, the system may not have engaged
the drive position correctly. Press the brake
pedal and select the drive position again.
— If the vehicle still does not move in the de-
sired direction, there is a system malfunc-
tion. See an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility for assistance
