ZA WARNING
— Applies to: Coupe: Due to the risk of injury,
always be careful of the rear passengers
when closing the luggage compartment lid.
— After closing the luggage compartment lid,
make sure that it is latched. Otherwise the
luggage compartment lid could open sud-
denly when driving, which increases the risk
of an accident.
— Never drive with the luggage compartment
lid ajar or open, because poisonous gases
from the surrounding area can enter the ve-
hicle interior and increase the risk of asphyx-
iation.
— Applies to: Coupe: Never leave your vehicle
unattended when the luggage compartment
lid is open. A child could climb into the vehi-
cle through the luggage compartment. If
the luggage compartment lid was then
closed, the child would be trapped in the ve-
hicle and unable to escape. To reduce the
risk of injury, do not allow children to play in
or around the vehicle. Always keep the lug-
gage compartment lid and the doors closed
when the vehicle is not in use.
— Applies to: Roadster: Never leave your vehi-
cle unattended when the luggage compart-
ment lid is open. A child could crawl into the
luggage compartment. If the luggage com-
partment lid was then closed, the child
would be trapped in the vehicle and unable
to escape. To reduce the risk of injury, do
not allow children to play in or around the
vehicle. Always keep the luggage compart-
ment lid and the doors closed when the ve-
hicle is not in use.
—To reduce the risk of injuries by pinching,
make sure that no one is in the operating
area of the luggage compartment lid, espe-
cially near the hinges, at the upper and low-
er edges of the lid, or all around the edge of
the lid in general.

Fig. 27 Garage door opener: examples of usage for differ-
ent systems
With the garage door opener, you can activate
systems such as the garage doors, security sys-
tems or house lights from inside your vehicle. Up
to three remote control functions can be pro-
grammed to the three buttons that are integrat-
ed in the control unit above the rearview mirror.
To be able to operate systems using the garage
door opener, the buttons in the control unit must
first be programmed.
Z\ WARNING
When operating or programming the garage
door opener, make sure that no people or ob-
jects are in the area immediately surrounding
the equipment. People can be injured or prop-
erty can be damaged if struck when closing.
® Tips
— For security reasons, you should clear the
programmed buttons before selling the ve-
hicle.

@ Tips
— The distance needed between the remote
control transmitter and the garage door
opener module in the radiator grille
=> fig. 29 depends on the system you are
programming.
— Depending on the system model, you may
need to release the button on the remote
control transmitter while it is programming
and press it again. Hold every position you
try when programming for at least 15 sec-
onds before trying a new position. Keep an
eye on the vehicle turn signals while doing
this.
Rolling code programming
Applies to: vehicles with garage door opener
On some systems, programming a rolling code is
also necessary.
Identifying a rolling code
> Press the button in the control unit that is al-
ready programmed again and hold it down.
>» Watch the green LED () > page 29, fig. 28. If
the green LED blinks quickly, the system (such
as a garage door) has a rolling code.
> Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating the system motor unit
> Locate the programming button on the system
motor unit. The exact location and color of the
button may vary depending on the brand.
> Press the programming button on the system
motor unit (usually this will activate a “display”
30
on the motor unit). You now have approximate-
ly 30 seconds to program the button in the
control panel.
Programming the button in the control
panel
> Press and hold the previously programmed but-
ton in the control panel for two seconds.
> To complete rolling code programming, press
and hold the button again for two seconds.
> On some systems, the button might need to be
pressed a third time to end the programming
procedure.
After programming, the system should recognize
the signal and operate when the button in the
control panel is pressed. Now you may program
the other buttons as needed.
@ Tips
— The rolling code can be programmed more
quickly and more easily with the help of a
second person.
— If any difficulties occur when programming
the rolling code, it may be helpful to read
the system operating manual.
Power top
— Make sure no one will be injured by the pow-
er top supports or other moving compo-
nents when opening and closing the top.
@) Note
— To prevent damage to the power top:
— do not store any objects in the power top
storage compartment.
— make sure there is enough space above
the vehicle when opening or closing the
power top.
0} Tips
— To avoid draining the vehicle battery unnec-
essarily, do not open and close the power
top repeatedly when the engine is switched
off.
— The power top can be operated manually if
there is a malfunction > page 33, Power
top emergency operation. Have the problem
corrected immediately by an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa-
cility.
— If you park the vehicle with the power top
open, the vehicle interior will not be pro-
tected from damaging weather or unauthor-
ized access. Lock any items you leave behind
in the luggage compartment. Close the
power top before leaving the vehicle.
— The side windows automatically lower
slightly when opening or closing the power
top.

ZA WARNING
For safety reasons, the windshield wiper
blades should be replaced once or twice each
year.
@) Note
— The windshield wipers must only be folded
up when in the service position! Otherwise,
you risk damaging the paint on the hood or
the windshield wiper motor.
— You should not drive your vehicle or press
the windshield wiper lever when the wiper
arms are folded away from the windshield.
The windshield wipers would move back in-
to their original position and could damage
the hood and windshield.
G) Tips
— You can also use the service position, for ex-
ample, if you want to protect the windshield
from icing by using a cover.
— You cannot activate the service position
when the hood is open.
If the & indicator light turns on, then there is a
windshield wiper malfunction. Drive to an au-
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility immediately to have the malfunction cor-
rected.
a Automatic wipers: malfunction! See owner's
manual
The light/rain sensor is malfunctioning.
You can still control all functions that are not

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.
