It is only possible to turn off the ASR up to 30
mph (SO km/h) for vehicles with front wheel
drive . At about 45 mph (70 km/h) it automatical-
ly turns on again. It is possible to turn off the
ASR at any speed for vehicles with all wheel
drive .

switch ESC/ ASR off if your driving abilities
and road conditions permit.
- The stabilization function is limited when
sport mode is sw itched on. The driving
wheels could spin and the vehicle could
swerve, especially on slick or slippery road
surfaces.
- There is no vehicle stabilizat ion when ESC/
ASR a re switched off.

Event Data Recorder
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Re-
corder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa-
tions, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understand-
ing how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data related to vehicle dy-
namics and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data as :
- How various systems in your vehicle were oper-
ating;
- Whether or not the driver and passenger safety
belts were buckled/fastened;
- How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
170
- How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understand-
ing of the circumstances
in which crashes and in-
juries occur. NOTE: EDR data a re recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driv ing cond itions and no personal data (e .g .,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are re-
corded. However, other parties, such as law en-
forcement, could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely ac-
quired during a crash investigation .
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip-
ment is required, and access to the vehicle or the
EDR is needed . In addition to the vehicle manu-
facturer, other part ies, such as law enforcement,
that have the special equipment,
can read the in-
formation if they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR.
Some state laws restrict the retrieval or down-
loading of data stored by ED Rs installed in a veh i-
cle for the express purpose of retrieving data af-
ter an accident or crash event without the own-
er's consent.
Audi will not access the EDR and/or similar data
or give it to others -
- unless the vehicle owner (or lessee if the vehi-
cle has been leased) agrees; or
- upon the offic ial request by the police; or
- upon the order of a court of law or a govern-
ment agency; or
- for the defense of a lawsuit through the judicial
discovery process.
-Audi may also use the data for research about
vehicle operation and safety performance or
provide the data to a third party for research
purposes without identifying the specific vehi-
cle or information about the identity of its own-
er or lessee and only after the recorded vehicle
data has been accessed.
Vehicle control modules
Your vehicle is also equipped with a number of
electronic control modules for various vehicle
systems, such as engine management,
emission
contro l, airbags , and safety be lts.
