Audi dealer immediately to have the malfunction
corrected. The color of the indicator light de-
pends on the vehicle speed.

WARNING
-
Driving at higher speeds without the rear
spoiler deployed can impair handling charac-
teristics, making the vehicle harder to con-
trol.
- Always make sure that the spoiler is de-
ployed when driving at speeds over 85 mph
(140 km/h) . If the rear spoiler warning/indi-
cator light in the instrument cluster comes
on, the rear spoiler may not have deployed.
- Never drive at speeds higher than 85 mph
(140 km/h) if the spoiler is not deployed .
Have the spoiler inspected as soon as possi-
ble by an authorized Audi dealer or qualified
workshop.
- Always obey speed limits and other traffic
laws.
_&
WARNING
Improper operation of the rear spoiler can
cause crushing injuries.
- Always make sure that nobody, especially
children, is in the way when the rear spoiler
is deployed or retracted.

Note
- Never push on the vehicle on the rear spoil-
er . This could cause damage.
- To prevent damage to the rear spoiler do
not lean or place anything on it.
-
- Only operate the rear spoiler manually when
the luggage compartment
lid is close and
the rear spoiler moving parts are not
blocked. Otherwise, damage could occur.

Tips
Clean the rear spoiler compartment
every 2 to
3 months. To function correctly, the rear
spoiler must be free of ice, snow and leaves.

Energy
management
'
The starting ability is optimized
The energy management system manages the
electrical energy distribution and optimizes the
availability of electrical energy for starting the
engine.
When a vehicle with a conventional energy sys-
tem is not driven for a long time, the battery is
drained by equipment (for example the immobil-
izer). In certain circumstances , there could may
not be enough energy to start the engine .
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent ener-
gy management
system for distributing electrici-
ty. This significantly improves the starting ability
and increases the battery life.
The energy management
system Is made up of
battery diagnosis, idling current management
and dynamic energy management.
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis determines the battery
charge level. The sensors detect the battery, the
battery current, and the battery temperature .
The current charge level and the performance of
the battery are determined based on this.
Idling current management
The idling current management
decreases the
energy used while parked . With the engine
switched off, it manages the energy distribution
to the different electrical components . Date from
battery diagnosis is taken into account for this.
Depending on the battery charge level, electrical
equipment is switched off one item after the oth-
er, to prevent the battery from draining and to
retain the starting ability.
Dynamic energy management
While driving, dynamic energy management
dis-
tributes the appropriate amount of energy to the
electrical equipment . It controls the battery
charge level so that more energy is not used then
is being generated in order to maintain an opti-
mal battery charge level.
