Important Safety Instructions and Warnings
Audi connect®
• Only use Audi connect® services when road and trac
conditions permit. Using these services could increase the
risk of an accident. Some Audi connect® services are only
available when the vehicle is stationary to reduce the risk of
distracting the driver.
• To reduce the risk of a collision, use the Audi connect®
services with a Wi-Fi hotspot in the rear seat only if the
vehicle is in motion or only when the vehicle is stationary.
• As the driver, do not allow usage of the Wi-Fi hotspots to
distract you from driving, as it could increase the risk of an
accident.
• It is only safe to use laptops and similar mobile devices
when the vehicle is stationary because, like all loose objects,
they could be thrown around the inside of the vehicle in a
crash and cause serious injuries. Store these types of devices
securely while driving.
• Do not use any Wi-Fi devices in the front seats within
range of the airbags. Read and follow the safety precautions
in the separate vehicle owner’s manual in the “Airbag
System” chapter under “Important information about the
front airbag system”.
Automatic Climate Control
• Reduced visibility is dangerous and can cause accidents.
• For safe driving it is very important that all windows be
free of ice, snow and condensation.
• Completely familiarize yourself with the proper use
and function of the heating and ventilation system and
especially how to defog and defrost the windows.
• Never use the windshield wiper/washer system in freezing
weather until you have warmed the windshield first, using
the heating and ventilation system. The washer solution
may freeze on the windshield and reduce visibility.
• Do not use the recirculation for extended periods of time.
The windows could fog up since no fresh air can enter the
vehicle. If the windows fog up, press the air recirculation
button again immediately to switch o the air recirculation
function or select defrost.
BLUETOOTH® Pairing
• Collisions and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.
Speaking on or using a phone while driving can distract the
driver from trac.
• Select the volume settings so that the acoustic signals
from the outside are still audible (e.g., the sirens of
emergency rescue vehicles.) Observe legal regulations.
• In areas with no or poor mobile network coverage
and possibly in tunnels, garages and subways, phone
conversations may be interrupted, and it may be impossible
to make phone calls, even emergency calls!
• In some countries, emergency calls may only be supported
when the mobile phone is connected to a mobile phone
package which has a SIM card that is “not blocked” and/or
has sucient credit on it.
• Unmounted or improperly mounted mobile phones can fly
around in the event of a sudden driving or braking maneuver
or a collision. This may cause injury.
• Never place or mount a mobile phone on doors, on
the windshield or on or near the area on the steering
wheel marked “AIRBAG,” the instrument panel, the seat
backrests or the areas between these points and the driver/
passengers. Mobile phones can lead to serious injuries in
cases of collisions, especially when the airbags are inflated.
• Always switch o your mobile telephone at gas
stations or wherever there is a fire or explosion hazard.
Electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks which can start
fires.
• The mobile phone will automatically connect to the mo-
bile network when the Bluetooth connection to the mobile
phone package is disconnected.
• Using a radio device in the vehicle without a connection
to an external antenna might exceed electromagnetic
radiation thresholds. This also applies if the external
antenna is not installed properly.
• Keep a distance of at least eight inches between the
antennas of the mobile phone and a pacemaker, since
mobile phones can aect the functionality of a pacemaker.
• Do not carry a mobile phone on standby mode in the
breast pocket directly on top of a pacemaker.
• If interference is suspected, immediately switch o the
mobile phone.
• Always keep the armrest closed while driving. The center
armrest can interfere with the driver’s elbow movement and
thus cause collisions and severe injuries.
Brakes
• Do not press the accelerator pedal inadvertently if
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is running and a
gear is selected. Otherwise the vehicle will start to move
immediately and could result in a crash.
• New brake pads don’t have the best stopping power and
must be “broken-in” during the initial 100 to 150 miles
(150 to 200 kilometers) of normal city driving. You can
compensate for this by pressing the brake pedal more firmly.
This also applies later when new pads are installed.
• You should perform braking maneuvers for the purpose
of cleaning the brake system only if road conditions permit.
Other road users must not be put at risk - you may cause an
accident!
• Before descending a steep grade, reduce speed and shift
transmission into a lower gear or lower driving range. Do not
ride the brakes or hold the pedal down too long or too often.
This could cause the brakes to get hot and diminish braking
eciency.
• Do not “ride the brakes” by resting your foot on the
pedal when you do not intend to brake. This may cause the
brakes to overheat, premature wear and increased stopping
distance.
• Under certain climatic and operating conditions such as
passing through water, driving in heavy rain or after washing
the vehicle, the eectiveness of the brakes can be reduced.
In winter, ice can accumulate on the brake pads, linings,
discs and drums. Carefully apply brakes for a test. Brakes
will dry and ice coatings will be cleaned o after a few
careful brake applications.
• Driving for an extended period of time on salt covered
roads without using your brakes can also aect braking
eciency. Clean o accumulated salt coating from brake
discs and pads with a few careful brake applications.
• If you damage the front spoiler, or if you install a dierent
spoiler, be sure the airflow to the front brakes is not
obstructed. Otherwise the brake system could overheat
reducing the eectiveness of the entire brake system.
• Failure of one brake circuit will impair the braking
capability resulting in an increased stopping distance. Avoid
driving the vehicle and have it towed to the nearest Audi
dealer or qualified workshop.
• Never let the vehicle roll to a stop with the engine shut o.
• If the brake booster is not working, the brake pedal must
be pressed considerably harder to make up for the lack of
booster assistance.
Cruise Control
• Always pay attention to the trac around you when the
cruise control is in operation. You are always responsible for
your speed and the distance between your vehicle and other
vehicles.
• For reasons of safety, cruise control should not be used in
the city, in stop-and-go trac, on twisting roads and when
road conditions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain
and hydroplaning) - risk of accident.
• Turn o the cruise control temporarily when entering turn
lanes, highway exit lanes or in construction zones.
• Please note that inadvertently “resting” your foot on the
accelerator pedal causes the cruise control not to brake. This
is because the cruise control is overridden by the driver’s
acceleration.
