Instrument cluster
Drive to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility immediately to have the
malfunction corrected.
S&S Engine start system: malfunction! Please
contact Service
There is a malfunction in the engine start system.
Drive immediately to an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility to have the
malfunction repaired.
\ Engine stop while driving
If the S indicator light turns on, there may bea
malfunction in the engine or fuel supply.
More force is needed to steer and brake the mov-
ing vehicle when the engine is stopped. If the ve-
hicle is rolling, try to bring it to a stop off to the
side from moving traffic. See an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility for as-
sistance.
ZA WARNING
If the engine stops while driving, you will
need to use more force to brake the vehicle.
This increases the risk of an accident. There
will still be power steering if the ignition is
switched on while the vehicle is rolling and
there
is sufficient battery charge. Otherwise,
you must use greater force when steering.
53/2 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 |2] button > page 106.
Stabilization control (ESC/ABS): malfunction!
See owner's manual
If the I 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.
Drive to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility immediately to have the
malfunction corrected.
@ Tips
For additional information on ESC and ABS,
see > page 105.
<5 Engine control
If the BS indicator light turns on if there is a mal-
function in the engine control. Drive slowly to an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility to have the engine checked.
9 Suspension control
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
If the | ¢ | indicator light turns on, then there is a
malfunction in the suspension control. Drive im-
mediately to an authorized Audi dealer or author-
ized Audi Service Facility to have the malfunction
repaired.

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 and other drive com-
ponents.
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 (S00 km).
® Note
Your Audi is not designed for towing a trailer.
Damage caused by towing a trailer is not cov-
ered by the warranty.
Reducing the risk of vehicle damage
@) 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
If you must drive through water, follow these in-
structions:
— Check the stability of the ground, the current,
and the water depth. If the ground is unstable,
there is a strong current, or there are waves,
the water must only reach up to the lower edge
of the body at the most.
— Drive carefully and no faster than at walking
speeds to prevent the front of the vehicle from
creating waves, because they could splash
74
above the lower edge of the body. Oncoming
vehicles could also create waves.
— Do not stop the vehicle while in the water.
— Drive in reverse.
— Do not turn the engine off.
ZA\ WARNING
After driving through water, press the brake
pedal carefully to dry the brakes so that the
full braking effect will be restored.
C) Note
Vehicle components such as the engine, drive
system, suspension, or electrical system can
be severely damaged by driving through wa-
wel
G@) Tips
If possible, avoid driving through salt water
because it increases the risk of corrosion. Use
fresh water to clean any vehicle components
that come into contact with salt water.

driving
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:
— 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.
— Avoid driving at high speeds.
— 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.
— Make sure the tire pressure is correct.
— Have maintenance performed regularly on the
vehicle.
— Do not let the engine run while the vehicle
parked.
— Do not drive with winter tires during the summ-
er.
Assist systems
The display brightness adjusts automatically to
the brightness of the surroundings, both in the
information and in the warning stage. In very
dark or very bright surroundings, the automatic
adjustment will set the display to the minimum
or maximum level. In such cases, you may notice
no change when adjusting the brightness, or the
change may only be noticeable once the sur-
roundings change.
Adjust the brightness to a level where the display
in the information stage will not disrupt your
view ahead. If you change the brightness, the dis-
play in the exterior mirror will briefly show the
brightness level in the information stage. The
brightness of the warning stage is linked to the
brightness in the information stage and is adjust-
ed along with the information stage.
@) Tips
— Side assist is not active while you are mak-
ing the adjustment.
— Your settings are automatically stored and
assigned to the remote control key being
used.

Audi drive select (drive
settings)
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
Drive select makes it possible to experience dif-
ferent types of vehicle characteristics in one vehi-
cle. With different driving modes, the driver can
switch the setting, for example from sporty to
comfortable. In the Individual mode, the set-
tings can be adjusted to your personal preferen-
ces. This makes it possible to combine settings
such as a sporty drivetrain setting with comforta-
ble steering.
Z\ WARNING
Using Audi drive select incorrectly can lead to
collisions, other accidents and serious inju-
ries.
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
The vehicle setup in each mode depends on the
vehicle's features.
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode, the engine and auto-
matic transmission respond more quickly or ina
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements.
Suspension control (Audi magnetic ride)*
The suspension control uses sensors to record in-
formation regarding steering movements, brak-
ing and acceleration operations by the driver, as
well as information about the road surface, driv-
ing speed, and load. With drive select, you can
adjust the suspension control to sporty (dynam-
ic), comfortable (comfort) or balanced (auto). >
