WARNING

- When applying
the
brakes
to
clean
off
de­
posits
on the
pads and discs, select
a
clear,
dry
road.
Be sure
not to
inconvenience
or
en­
danger other road users;
do not
risk an
acci­

dent.
- Never
let the car
coast with
the
engine
switched
off
(this can cause accidents).

(T)
CAUTION

- Never
let the
brakes "drag"
by
leaving your
foot on
the
pedal when you
do not
really
in­

tend
to
brake. This overheats
the
brakes,
re­

sulting
in
longer stopping distances
and

greater wear.
- Before driving down
a
long,
steep gradient,
it
is
advisable
to
reduce speed
and
select
a

lower gear.
In
this way you will make use
of

the engine braking effect and relieve
the

load
on the
brakes.
If
you
still have
to use

the brakes,
it is
better
to
brake firmly
at in­

tervals than
to
apply
the
brakes continuous-

Ly

-
If
the brake servo
is out of
action,
you must
apply considerably more pressure
to the

brake pedal than you normally would.
-
If
you
wish
to
equip
the
car with accessories
such as a front spoiler
or
wheel covers,
it is

important that
the
flow
of air to the
front
wheels
is not
obstructed, otherwise
the

brakes can overheat.

Electro-mechanical

Electro-mechanical power steering assists
the

driver when steering.
The degree
of
power assistance
is
adapted elec­

tronically,
depending
on the
speed.

Stop
the
vehicle
in a
safe place
as
soon
as
possi­

ble.
Do
NOT drive on. Obtain professional assis­

tance.

lighter than usual.
In

addition,
it is
possible that
the

Four-wheel drive
(quattro)
Applies to: vehicles with four-wheel drive

On
quattro models
the
engine power is distrib­
uted
to all
four wheels.
General notes
On four-wheel drive vehicles,
the
engine power
is

distributed
to all
four wheels. The distribution
of

power
is
controlled automatically according
to

your driving style and
the
road conditions. Also
refer
to
^>page
145,
Electronic stabilisation con­
trol
(ESC).

The four-wheel drive
is
specially designed
to

complement
the
superior engine power
of
your

Audi.
This combination gives
the car
exceptional
handling
and
performance capabilities
-
both
on

normal roads and
in
more difficult conditions,
such
as
snow and
ice.
Even
so (or
perhaps espe­
cially
for
this reason),
it is
important
to
observe
certain safety points

Winter tyres
Thanks
to its
four-wheel drive, your
car
will have
plenty
of

Intelligent technology
Dynamic power management
While the vehicle is moving, this function distrib­
utes the available power to the various electrical
components and systems according to their re­
quirements. It ensures that on-board systems do
not consume more electrical power than is being

generated,
and thus maintains the maximum
possible vehicle battery power level.
® Note
- The power management system is not able
to overcome the given physical limits.
Please remember that the power and life of
the vehicle battery are limited.
- If the indicator lamp
|3 ^page
31 appears,
the starting ability may be impaired.
Starting ability has first priority.
Short trips, city traffic and low temperatures all
place a heavy load on the vehicLe battery. In
these conditions a large amount of power is
con­

sumed,
but only
a
small amount is supplied. The
situation is also critical if electrical equipment is
in use when the engine is not running. In this
case power is consumed when none is being
gen­

erated.

In these situations you will be aware that the
power management system is intervening to
con­

trol the distribution of electrical power.
When the vehicle is parked for long periods
If
you
do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are

using.
This limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
long period. Certain convenience features, such
as remote controL unlocking, may not be availa­

ble.
These functions will be restored when you
switch on the ignition and start the engine.
150
With the engine switched off
If
you
listen to the radio or use the other info­
tainment functions when the engine is not
run­

ning,
this will discharge the vehicle battery.
The infotainment display will show a warning
message before the battery power drops to a Lev­
el where the starting ability is impaired. This
message warns you that the system you are using
will soon be switched off automatically. You
should therefore start the engine if
you
wish to
continue using the system.
When the engine is running
Although the alternator generates electrical
power, the vehicle battery can still become dis­
charged while the vehicle is being driven. This can
occur when a lot of power is being consumed but
only
a
small amount supplied, especially if the
vehicle battery is not fully charged initially.
To restore the necessary energy balance, the sys­
tem
will
then temporarily shut off the electrical
components that are using a lot of power, or re­
duce the current they are consuming. Heating
systems in particular use a Large amount of elec­
trical power. If
you
notice, for instance, that the
seat heating* or the rear window heater is not

working,
they may have been temporarily switch­
ed off or regulated to a lower heat output. These
systems will be available again as soon as
suffi­

cient electrical power is available.
You may also notice that the engine runs at a
slightly faster idling speed. This is quite normal,
and no cause for concern. The increased idling
speed allows the alternator to meet the greater
power requirement and charge the vehicLe bat­
tery at the same time.
Information saved in the
control units
The vehicle is fitted in the factory with electronic
control units that, among other things, control
the engine and the gearbox. The controL units al­
so monitor the exhaust system and the airbags.
The control units continually analyse data rele­
vant to the vehicLe while you are driving. In the •

event of faults or anomalies in the vehicLe data,
only these data are saved. As a rule, faults are
shown by the warning lamps in the instrument
cluster.
Data saved in the control units can only be read
and analysed with special equipment.
A qualified workshop is only able to recognise
and deal with faults by using the relevant saved

data.
Among other things, the saved data may
contain the following information:
- Data relating to the engine and the gearbox
-Speed
- Direction of travel
- Braking force
- Seat belt warning system data
The control units installed will not under any cir­
cumstances record conversations in the vehicle.
Event data recorder
Your vehicLe is not equipped with an event data
recorder.
In an event data recorder, information about the
vehicle is temporarily saved. In the event of an
accident, you can therefore obtain detaiLed infor­
mation about the course of events. On vehicles
with an airbag system, accident-related data
such as impact speed, seat belt status, seat
posi­

tions and trigger times can be saved. The exact
information saved depends on the manufacturer.
The installation of an event data recorder is sub­
ject to the agreement of the vehicle's owner. This
process is governed by legislation in some coun­

tries.

Reprogramming control units
All data for controlling components are saved in
the control units. Some convenience features,
such as one-touch signalling, single door unlock­
ing and display messages can be reprogrammed
using special workshop equipment. If any
con­

venience features are reprogrammed, the infor­
mation in this Owner's Manual will no longer be
accurate for the features that have been

changed.
We recommend having the reprogram­
ming approved.
Your Audi dealer will be able to provide you with
information about possibLe reprogramming op­

tions.

Event memory
There is a diagnostic connection for reading out
the event memory Located in the
footweLL
on the
driver's side of the vehicle. Information regard­
ing the operation and status of the vehicle's elec­
tronic control units is stored in the event memo­
ry. The event memory should only be read out
and erased by
a
qualified workshop.
A WARNING
The diagnostic connection must not be used
for other purposes. Incorrect use can cause
malfunctions - risk of accident!
