- After closing the boot lid, always check that
the catch has engaged properly. The boot lid
could otherwise open suddenly when the ve­
hicle is moving - this could result in an
acci­

dent.
- Always make sure that no-one is in the boot
lid's area of movement (especially near the
hinges) when it is moving. Risk of severe in­
juries to fingers or hands!
- The boot lid must always be completely
closed when the vehicle is moving; other­
wise toxic exhaust fumes can be drawn into
the interior.
- If
a
luggage rack (e.g. a bicycle carrier) is at­
tached to the boot lid, the boot lid may not
open completely or may move downwards
by itself due to the added weight. For this

reason,
make sure you support the boot lid

or
take the luggage off the carrier before
opening the boot lid - risk of injury!
© Note
- When towing a trailer* the automatic open
function can only be operated via the re­
lease catch on the boot lid.
- If the battery is low, the boot lid can still be
opened and closed manually; however, this
will require more effort. If
you
move the
boot lid slowly less effort will be required.
- When the vehicle is locked, you can unlock
the boot Lid separately by pressing the

button on the remote control key. The boot
lid will Lock automatically when you close it

again.

Audi adaptive light
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive light
With the adaptive light feature, you have better
vision in the dark because the Lights are control­
led dynamically to match the vehicle speed and
road conditions, e.g. on motorways or country

roads,
at intersections or through corners. The
adaptive light is activated only when the Light
switch is set to AUTO and the all-weather Lights*
are switched off.
WARNING
- The automatic headlights are only intended
to assist the driver. The driver must always
ensure that the headlights are used when

required,
and may have to switch them on
manually when the light conditions or
visi­

bility are poor. For example, the light
sen­

sors are not able to detect fog. Therefore,
you should always switch on the dipped
headlights
|0
in these conditions and when
driving after dark.
- To avoid dazzling the traffic behind you, the
rear fog light should only be used in accord­
ance with statutory regulations.
- If the vehicle battery has been losing charge
for
a
while, the side lights or parking lights
may be switched off automatically. Always
park your car in a safe and suitably lit place
according to the applicable regulations.
