display
The outside temperature is displayed in the sta-
tus bar @) > page 11.
If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driving at
very low speeds, the temperature displayed in
the instrument cluster may be slightly higher
than the actual temperature outside due to heat
radiating from the motor.
At temperatures below 41 °F (+5 °C), a snowflake
symbol appears in front of the temperature dis-
play > A\.

ZA\ WARNING
Do not assume the roads are free of ice based
on the outside temperature display. Be aware
that there may be ice on roads even when the
outside temperature is around 41 °F (+5 °C)
and that ice can increase the risk of accidents.

mation
Short-term memory and long-term memory
The short-term memory collects driving informa-
tion from the time the ignition is switched on un-
til it is switched off. If you continue driving within
two hours after switching the ignition off, the
new values will be included when calculating the
current trip information.
Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automatically. You can se-
lect the time period for evaluating trip informa-
tion yourself.
Average consumption
The current consumption can be shown using a
bar graph. The average consumption stored in
the short-term memory is also displayed. If the
bar
is green, your vehicle is saving energy (for ex-
ample, using recuperation).

Steering wheel
General information
Make sure that:
— The distance between your upper body and the
steering wheel is at least 10 inches (25 cm)
— Your arms are bent slightly at the elbows
— You have a sufficient view of the area around
the vehicle and you have a clear view of the in-
strument cluster and head-up display”.
— You are always holding the steering wheel with
both hands on the outer edge at the sides (9:00
and
3:00 position) when driving

Z\ WARNING
—To reduce the risk of an accident, make sure
the steering wheel is adjusted correctly and
cannot be moved out of position before you
start to drive.
— If you are too close to the steering wheel,
the driver's airbag cannot provide optimal
protection, which increases the risk of injury
or fatality.
— Never hold the steering wheel in the 12:00
position or in any other way, such as holding
the center of the steering wheel. Otherwise,
your arms, hands, and head could be injured
in the event that the driver's airbag deploys.

Driving

“N” (Neutral) gear
In the “N” gear, power is not transmitted to the
driving wheels. Use the “N” gear in a car wash
(with conveyor belts), for example.
If you unintentionally select “N” while driving
(faster than 1 mph (2 km/h)), you can also shift
back to “D” without pressing the brake pedal.
For safety reasons, the vehicle cannot be locked
when the transmission is in the "N” gear.
“Pp” (Park) gear
The vehicle is secured from rolling away by the
parking lock when in the “P” gear.
— Bring the vehicle to a full stop and press the
brake pedal.
— Press the “P” button @ on the selector lever.
— The “P” next to the selector lever will light up.
“P” engages automatically if you switch the drive
system off while the “D” or “R” gear is selected.
If you switch the drive system off in “N”, “P” will
engage automatically after approximately 30 mi-
nutes.
If you want to switch from “P” to “D” or “R”, the
drive system must be active.
Selecting the driving program
Various driving programs can be selected when in
the “D” gear. The programs influence how the ac-
celerator pedal and drive system respond.
If you select the dynamic or offroad Audi drive
select* mode, the “S” driving program will be ac-
tivated. If you select efficiency, “E” will be acti-
vated. When the ignition is switched off, the driv-
ing program may be reset to “D”.
To switch between the current driving program
and “S”, push the selector lever toward the rear.

ZA WARNING
— Before you start driving, check if the label
for the desired selector lever position next
to the selector lever is lit up.
— Secure the vehicle against rolling before ex-

iting the vehicle > page 91.

— To reduce the risk of an accident, do not
press the accelerator pedal when changing
gears if the vehicle is stationary and the
drive system is active.
— Never select the “R" or "P” gears while driv-
ing. Doing so could cause an accident.
—The vehicle can roll even if the ignition is
switched off.


(Gi) Tips
If you shift between “D” and “R” within one
second, you do not need to press the brake
pedal. This makes it possible to “rock” if it is
stuck, for example.
Accelerator pedal
You can accelerate the vehicle using the accelera-
tor pedal.
Maximum acceleration
If you press the accelerator pedal all the way
down, the motor’s full power will be used and
you will reach maximum acceleration, also called
“kick-down”.
Applies to: vehicles with boost function: In the
“S” driving program, even more power is utilized
for a brief period of time via the boost function.
The availability of this function depends on the
charge level of the high-voltage battery and the
temperature of the drive system components,
among other things.

Z\ WARNING
The driving wheels could spin and the vehicle
could swerve on slick or slippery road surfaces
when using kick-down, which increases the
risk of an accident.

Launch Control
Applies to: vehicles with Launch Control
Launch Control provides the best possible accel-
eration when starting from a stop.

Special driving situations
PTTL MY ale lace me (Muni Ge
When driving uphill, downhill, or at high alti-
tudes, note the following information:
— Drive slowly and carefully.
100
— Do not try to turn around if you cannot safely
drive on an incline or hill. Instead, drive in re-
verse.
— When driving down hills, use the recuperation
braking effect > page 94. This reduces the load
on the brakes.
— Use the hold assist if necessary > page 99
— Use the hill descent assist if necessary
=> page 101

A WARNING
— Only drive on inclines that your vehicle is de-
signed to handle. Do not exceed the hill
climbing ability of your vehicle. Your vehicle
could tip or slide.
— Do not drive at an angle on steep inclines
and hills. If your vehicle is about to tip, you
must immediately start steering in the di-
rection of the downward slope to reduce the
risk of an accident.
— Always be ready to brake when using the hill
descent control function.
ier NLA)
Your vehicle is not an offroad vehicle. Note the
following points when driving offroad:


— Drive slowly and carefully.
—To reduce the risk of underbody damage, pay
attention to the vehicle's ground clearance and
drive across raised areas of the ground with the
wheels on one side of the vehicle, instead of al-
lowing the center of the vehicle to pass over the
raised areas.
—To reduce the risk of becoming stuck, drive
through sandy or swampy areas at a steady
speed and without stopping, if possible.
If necessary, use the following functions:
— Audi drive select* offroad mode > page 102
— Hill hold assist* > page 101
— Raising the vehicle > page 103
— Limit ESC > page 106

ZX WARNING
Only drive in terrain that is suitable for the ve-
hicle and your driving ability. >
