function in the system may be switched off. The other cruise
control functions remain active as long as the indicator light
is on.
• You should only return to the saved speed if it is not too fast
for the current traffic conditions - risk of an accident!
Navigation & Infotainment
• The demands of traffic require your full attention.
• Obey all traffic laws when driving.
• The route calculated by the navigation system is a
recommendation for reaching your destination. Obey traffic
lights, stopping restrictions, one-way streets, lane change
restrictions, etc
Rear Hatch
• After closing the rear hatch, always pull up on it to make
sure that it is properly closed. Otherwise it could open
suddenly when the vehicle is moving.
• To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from being drawn
into the vehicle, always keep the rear hatch closed while
driving. Never transport objects larger than those which fit
completely into the luggage area, because then the rear
hatchcannot be fully closed.
• Never leave your vehicle unattended especially with the rear
hatch left open. A child could crawl into the car through the

• After closing the rear lid, always pull up on it to make sure
that it is properly closed. Otherwise it could open suddenly
when the vehicle is moving.

into the vehicle, always keep the rear lid closed while driving.
Never transport objects larger than those which fit completely
into the luggage area, because then the rear lid cannot be
fully closed.
• Never leave your vehicle unattended especially with the
rear lid left open. A child could crawl into the car through the
luggage compartment and pull the lid shut, becoming trapped
and unable to get out. To reduce the risk of personal injury,
never let children play in or around your vehicle. Always keep
the rear lid as well as the vehicle doors closed when not in use.
• Never close the rear lid inattentively or without checking
first. Although the closing force of the rear lid is limited, you
can still seriously injure yourself or others.
• Always ensure that no one is within range of the rear lid
when it is moving, in particular close to the hinges and the
upper and lower edges - fingers or hands can be pinched.
• Never try to interfere with the rear lid or help it when it is
being opened or closed automatically.
Voice Recognition
• Driving requires your complete and undivided attention.
luggage compartment and pull the hatch shut, becoming

• Never close the rear hatch inattentively or without checking
first. Although the closing force of the rear hatch is limited,
you can still seriously injure yourself or others.
• If there is a luggage rack or bicycle rack mounted on the
rear hatch, it may not be able to open completely or an
opened rear hatch may close by itself because of the added
weight. So the open rear hatch must be supported or the
weight must be removed from the luggage rack first.
Start-Stop System
• Never let the vehicle roll with the engine switched off. You
could lose control over the vehicle. This can lead to a collision
and serious injuries.
• The brake booster and the steering support do not work
while the engine is switched off. More force is required to stop
and to steer the vehicle.
• To reduce the risk of injuries, make sure that the Start-
Stop System is turned off when working in the engine
As the driver, you have complete responsibility for safety in
traffic. Only use the MMI® system when traffic conditions
permit and always in a way that allows you to maintain
complete control over your vehicle.
• Adjust the volume of the audio system so signals from
outside the vehicle such as police and fire sirens can be heard
easily at all times.
• Always follow the safety precautions when using the Audi
connect® services and when using the wireless hotspot.
• Obey all applicable laws regarding use of telephones in
vehicles.
• Medical experts warn that cell phones can interfere with the
function of pacemakers. Always maintain a minimum distance
of 20 centimeters between the cell phone antenna and the
pacemaker.
• Do not carry the cell phone in a pocket directly over the
pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
• Switch the cell phone off immediately if you suspect it may
be interfering with the pacemaker.
• Do not use voice recognition system in emergencies
because your voice may change in stressful situations. It may
take longer to dial the number or the system may not be able
to dial it at all. Dial the emergency number manually.
• Switch your cell phone off in areas at risk for an explosion.
These locations are not always clearly marked. They may
include gas stations, equipment that stores or transports
compartment.
• Never allow the engine to run in confined spaces - danger of
asphyxiation.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
• If the tire pressure indicator appears in the instrument
cluster display, one or more of your tires is significantly under
inflated. Reduce your speed immediately and avoid any hard
steering or braking maneuvers. Stop as soon as possible and
check the tires and their pressures. Inflate the tire pressure to
the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle's tire pressure
label. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also is likely to impair the vehicle's handling and stopping
ability.
• The driver is responsible for maintaining the correct tire
pressures. You must check the tire pressures regularly.
• Under certain conditions (such as a sporty driving style,
winter conditions or unpaved roads), the pressure monitor
indicator may be delayed.
• Ask your authorized Audi dealer if run flat tires may be used
on your vehicle. Your vehicle registration becomes invalid if you
use these tires when not permitted. Damage to your vehicle or
accidents could also result.
fuel or chemicals, or locations where fuel vapors (such as
propane or gasoline vapor in vehicles or buildings), chemicals
or large quantities of dust particles (such as flour, sawdust or
metal) may be present in the air. This also applies to all other
locations where you would normally switch your vehicle off.
• Pay attention to the traffic reports when making a call.
• Please devote your full attention to driving. As the driver,
you have complete responsibility for safety in traffic. Only
use the functions in such a way that you always maintain
complete control over your vehicle in all traffic situations.
