Driving


— If the engine must run while you are working
in the engine compartment with the hood
open, make sure a gear is not engaged. The
selector lever must be firmly in the P posi-
tion and locked in place and the parking
brake must be set > page 200. Otherwise,
the vehicle could begin moving when in-
creasing the engine speed, even with the

parking brake set.

() Note
— If you have to stop on an incline, always
press the brake pedal to hold the vehicle in
place to reduce the risk of the vehicle rolling
backward. Do not try to hold the vehicle in
place by pressing and holding the accelera-
tor pedal. The transmission can overheat,
which increases the risk of damage.
— Allowing the vehicle to roll when the engine
is stopped and the selector lever is in the N
position will damage the automatic trans-
mission because it is not lubricated under
those circumstances.
— The transmission can overheat and be dam-
aged under certain driving and traffic condi-
tions such as frequent starts, creeping fora
long time, or stop-and-go traffic. When the
i or os] indicator light turns on, stop the
vehicle at the next opportunity and let the
transmission cool > page 87.
— Allowing the vehicle to roll when the engine
is stopped will damage the S tronic trans-
mission because it is not lubricated
= page 250, Towing.
@® Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is re-
leased automatically only when the driver's
safety belt is fastened.
Hill descent control
The hill descent control system assists the driver
when driving down hills.
Hill descent control is activated when the selec-
tor lever is in the "D" or "S" position and you
press the brake pedal. The transmission auto-

matically selects a gear that is suitable for the
hill. Hill descent control tries to maintain the
speed that was selected at the time of braking,
within physical and technical limitations. If may
still be necessary to adjust the speed with the
brakes. Because hill descent control cannot shift
down farther than 3rd gear, it may be necessary
to shift into tiptronic mode in very steep areas. In
this case, shift manually into 1st or 2nd gear in
tiptronic mode to use the engine's braking force
to relieve the brakes.
Hill descent control switches off once the hill lev-
els
out or if you press the accelerator pedal.
On vehicles with a cruise control system*
= page 89, hill descent control is also activated
when the speed is set.

ZA\ WARNING
Hill descent control may not be able to main-
tain a constant speed under all conditions. Al-
ways be ready to apply the brakes.
Shifting manually (tiptronic mode)
The tiptronic mode allows the driver to shift the
gears manually.

lector lever toward the driver's side.
Shifting with the shift paddles
Applies to: vehicles with shift paddles
> Upshifting: press the @) shift paddle © fig. 97.
> Downshifting: press the ©) shift paddle.
» Applies to: RS models: To select the lowest/
highest possible gear, press and hold the shift
paddle @)/@).
If the shift paddles are tapped while in the D/S
selector lever position, automatic mode switches
off briefly. To switch from manually shifting back
to automatic shifting immediately, tap the shift
paddle @) © fig. 97 for 1 second.
To keep shifting manually, tilt the selector lever
toward the front passenger's side.
@ Tips
— The transmission only allows manual shift-
ing when the engine speed is within the per-
mitted range.
— The transmission automatically shifts up or
down before critical engine speed is
reached.
— Applies to: RS models: When accelerating,
the transmission will not automatically shift
to the next gear shortly before the maxi-
mum permitted engine RPM is reached.
Shift to the next highest gear at the right
time.
86
Kick-down enables maximum acceleration.
When you press the accelerator pedal down be-
yond the resistance point, the automatic trans-
mission downshifts into a lower gear and the en-
gine utilizes its full power, if the vehicle speed
and engine RPM permit. It shifts up into the next
higher gear once the maximum permitted engine
RPM is reached.

ZA\ WARNING
Please note that the wheels could spin on
slick or slippery roads when kick-down is ac-
tive.
Launch Control
Applies to: vehicles with Launch Control

Launch Control provides the best possible accel-
eration when starting from a stop.
Requirements
— The engine must be at operating temperature.
— The steering wheel must not be turned.
— Start/Stop system* must be deactivated
=> page 79.
— ESC must be limited > page 105.
— Driving program “S” > page 82 or the Dynamic
Audi drive select* mode must be selected
=> page 96.
Using Launch Control
— Press the brake pedal with your left foot and
hold it all the way down for at least one second.
— With the brake pedal pressed, press the accel-
erator pedal all the way down with your right
foot at the same time.
— Once the engine reaches a constant speed, re-
move your foot from the brake pedal.
Once the vehicle has started moving, reactivate
the ESC so that it is fully functional.

ZA WARNING
Only use Launch Control when road and traffic
conditions allow it and other road users will
not be endangered or impacted by your >

driving and the vehicle's acceleration. The
driving wheels could spin and the vehicle
could swerve, especially on slick or slippery
road surfaces, which increases the risk of an
accident.

@) Note
When accelerating using Launch Control, all
vehicle components are subject to heavy
loads. This can result in increased wear.
G) Tips
After accelerating using the Launch Control,
the temperature of some vehicle components
may increase greatly. If that happens, the
function will not be available for a few mi-
nutes to reduce the risk of damage. After a
cool-down period, Launch Control will be

— Utilize the engine braking effect when driv-
ing downhill by selecting the “S” driving
program > page 82. This reduces the load
on the brakes. If you need to brake addition-
ally, brake in intervals and not continuously.
G) Tips
— If you retrofit your vehicle with a front spoil-
er, wheel covers or similar items, make sure
that the air flow to the brakes is not ob-
structed. Otherwise the brake system can
overheat.

All wheel drive (quattro)
Applies to: vehicles with all wheel drive

The all-wheel drive system distributes the driving
power variably to the front and rear axle to im-
prove the driving characteristics. It works togeth-
er with selective wheel torque control, which can
activate when driving through curves
=> page 104.
The all-wheel drive system is designed for high
motor power. Your vehicle is exceptionally power-
ful and has excellent driving characteristics both
under normal driving conditions and on snow and
ice. Always read and follow safety precautions
>A.

Z\ WARNING
— Even in vehicles with all wheel drive, you
should adapt your driving style to the cur-
rent road and traffic conditions to reduce
the risk of an accident.
— The braking ability of your vehicle is limited
to the traction of the wheels. In this way, it
is not different from a two wheel drive vehi-
cle. Do not drive too fast because this in-
creases the risk of an accident.

108

— Note that on wet streets, the front wheels
can “hydroplane’” if driving at speeds that
are too high. Unlike front wheel drive
vehicles, the motor RPM does not increase
suddenly when the vehicle begins hydro-
planing. Adapt your speed to the road condi-

tions to reduce the risk of an accident.

The rear spoiler increases driving stability. The
rear spoiler extends automatically at speeds
above approximately 75 mph (120 km/h). It will
retract automatically when the speed drops be-
low approximately 50 mph (80 km/h).
You can also extend and retract the rear spoiler
manually.
> Extending: press > briefly.
> Retracting: press and hold 3% when driving at
speeds up to approximately 10 mph (20 km/h).
At speeds from approximately 10 mph (20

Messages
If the HB or Mturns on and a corresponding
message appears, the rear spoiler may not be
able to extend due to a malfunction. This could
change the vehicle's driving characteristics at
high speeds. Do not drive faster than 85 mph
(140 km/h).
