Regulation of provision of a steering wheel

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Take away the handle down.
  1. Establish the necessary inclination and length of a steering wheel.
  2. Wring out the handle to a steering column up and record it in a starting position.

Ignition lock

Models with the petrol engine

Provisions of the lock of ignition

Ignition is switched off (1)

In situation (1) ignition is switched off, the engine does not work and the steering wheel can be locked.

For locking of a steering wheel take out a key from the lock and turn a wheel before its heard fixing. At escape of the car always lock a steering wheel. It potential stealing of the car is at a loss.

Ignition is included (situation "it is included for the movement") (2)

If the key turns hardly or at all does not turn in this situation, it is necessary turn a steering wheel for unloading of the anti-theft device a little.

Start of the engine (3)

In this situation the engine naviditsya. Thus there is a switching of light of headlights on parking fires, and also shutdown of powerful consumers of the electric power. After start of the engine the ignition key comes back to situation (2).

Before each subsequent start of the engine return the ignition key in situation (1). Blocking of restart in the lock of ignition prevents damage of a starter, excepting gearing of its gear wheel with a gear wreath of a flywheel at already working engine.

In case of a detachment and the subsequent connection of the accumulator wait, when finding the ignition key in situation (2), about 5 seconds and only then start the engine.

Models with the diesel engine

Fuel supply (ignition is switched off) is stopped (1)

In situation (1) fuel supply is stopped, the engine does not work and the steering wheel can be locked.

For locking of a steering wheel take out a key from the lock and turn a wheel before its heard fixing. At escape of the car always lock a steering wheel. It potential stealing of the car is at a loss.

Provision of inclusion of preheat and situation "it is included for the movement" (2)

In this situation preheat is possible. During preheat of the engine do not include powerful consumers of current not to overload it is useless the accumulator.

If the key turns hardly or at all does not turn in this situation, it is necessary turn a steering wheel for unloading of the anti-theft device a little.

Start of the engine (3)

In this situation the engine is started. Thus there is a switching of light of headlights on parking fires, and also shutdown of powerful consumers of the electric power. After start of the engine the ignition key comes back to situation (2).

Before each subsequent start of the engine return the ignition key in situation (1). Blocking of restart in the lock of ignition prevents damage of a starter, excepting gearing of its gear wheel with a gear wreath of a flywheel at already working engine.

Blocking of a key in the ignition lock

The key from the lock of ignition of model with automatic transmission can be taken only when finding the lever of the selector in the situation "P".

After ignition switching off the key can be taken from the ignition lock only when finding the lever of the selector in the situation "P" (parking blocking). After that the lever of the selector is blocked.

Start of the engine

Introduction

The engine can be started only an original key of Audi.

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Completely tighten the emergency brake.
  2. Install the gear shifting lever in neutral situation (the lever of the selector of automatic transmission in the situation "P" or "N").
  3. Completely squeeze out a pedal of coupling of the car with a manual box of gear shifting.

After cold start the engine short time can work with the strengthened noise, the necessary pressure of oil in system of hydrocompensation of a gap of valves will not be established yet. This normal phenomenon which should not cause alarm.

If the engine is not started...

See Start of the engine from the auxiliary battery and Poddomkrachivaniye and towage of Introduction.

Until the engine reaches working temperature, avoid the raised turns, the movement with completely squeezed out pedal of an accelerator and considerable loading of the engine. Danger of damage of the engine!

In order to avoid useless emission in the atmosphere of harmful substances do not warm up the engine idling. At once to begin the movement.

Petrol engine

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Turn the ignition key in situation (3). Thus do not press an accelerator pedal!
  2. As soon as the engine is started, release a key - the starter should not rotate together with the crankshaft.

At start of the engine, cold or heated-up up to the working temperature, do not press a pedal of an accelerator neither before inclusion of a starter, nor during its work.

If the engine was not started at once, about 10 seconds later stop attempt of start and repeat it approximately in half-minute. After start of very hot engine it can be necessary slightly, press an accelerator pedal.

Diesel engine

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Turn the ignition key in situation (2). The control lamp of system of preheat that testifies to preheat lights up.
  2. For start of the engine turn the ignition key in situation (3) when the control lamp goes out. Thus do not press an accelerator pedal.
  3. As soon as the engine is started, release a key - the starter should not rotate together with the crankshaft.

System of preheat

Diesel engines are equipped with system of preheat. Necessary time of preheat is defined by temperature of cooling liquid and external temperature.

In the period of preheat do not include powerful consumers of current in vain not to overload the accumulator.

Start the engine at once as soon as the control lamp of preheat goes out.

At start of the engine, heated-up up to the working temperature, and also at a temperature of air above +8 °C the control lamp of system of preheat lights up approximately for one second. It means that the engine can be started at once.

If the engine was not started at once, about 10 seconds later stop attempt of start and repeat it approximately in half-minute.

Start of the engine after a full expenditure of fuel

If the full expenditure of a reserve of diesel fuel in a tank took place, after gas station process of start of the engine can last more long than the usual - about one minute. It is connected with need of removal of air from fuel system during start of the engine.

Switching off of the engine

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Turn the ignition key in situation (1).

At switching off of the engine after long strong loading accumulation of heat in podkapotny space can take place - there is a danger of damage of the engine! Therefore let's the engine work idling about 2 minutes and only then muffle.

After a stop of the engine the cooling system fan can continue to work approximately till 10 minutes, also at the switched-off ignition. The fan can also turn on again after a while at temperature increase of cooling liquid from the engine or strong influence of the sun.

Emergency brake

Completely tightened emergency brake obstructs the involuntary traffic of the car.

Tightening of the emergency brake

The emergency brake is tightened by the movement of the lever up to an emphasis.

Release of the emergency brake

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Pull the lever a little up and press at the same time the button of a clamp (shooter).

  1. At the pressed button completely lower the lever down.

At the movement on rashness with the tightened emergency brake sounding of a buzzer (a sound signal) is distributed and on the display there is an instruction:

Handbremse angezogen (will tighten the emergency brake)

This prevention appears at the movement more than 3 seconds with a speed more than 5 km/h. The prevention dies away right after removal of the car from the emergency brake.

At the tightened emergency brake and the included ignition the control lamp of the emergency brake burns.

After a car stop at first tighten against the stop the emergency brake, and then include transfer of a manual transmission, and in the presence of automatic transmission parking blocking of "P".

Parking

In order to avoid the involuntary movement of the parked car adhere to rules below.

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Stop the car a brake pedal.
  2. Tighten completely emergency brake.
  3. Kill the engine.
  4. Include the 1st transfer of a manual transmission, and in the presence of automatic transmission the parking blocking "Р".

In addition at the parking on rises and biases

So turn a wheel that the car in case of the involuntary movement rested against curbstone.

The acoustic help at a parking

The help at a parking behind (the 4-channel device of the help at a parking)

The help device at a parking signals about obstacles behind.

Description

At the movement by a backing the 4-channel device by means of ultrasonic sensors measures distance to an obstacle. Sensors are in a rear bumper.

Sensors start reacting when finding an obstacle in distance approximately:

0.60 m

sideways

1.50 m

on the center

Inclusion

The help device at a parking turns on at inclusion of transfer of a backing. It is confirmed by a short sound signal.

Movement by a backing

The warning sound signal at the movement by a backing starts sounding at recognition of an obstacle (range of distances is specified above). With reduction of distance to an obstacle temporary pauses between sound impulses are reduced.

At distance less than 0.30 m sound a continuous signal. It means the obligatory termination of the movement by a backing.

The low obstacles registered by sensors can, as approaching them, cease to be fixed by system and will be absent respectively a warning sound signal.

Operation of the trailer

On cars with the traction coupling device installed at manufacturer at operation of the trailer and inclusion of transfer of a backing the help device at a parking does not turn on.

Malfunction of the device

Sounding within several seconds of a warning sound signal at inclusion of ignition means malfunction of the device. Existence of malfunction up to switching off of ignition testifies that the system will not work in repeated attempt of its inclusion.

Eliminate malfunction.

If the system is faulty, at inclusion of transfer of a backing the confirming sound signal is absent.

For ensuring operability of the device of the help at a parking keep sensors clean and free from ice.

The low obstacles caught by sensors can cease to be fixed as approaching them by system and will be absent respectively a warning sound signal. Also such subjects as protecting chains, dyshlo the trailer, the thin varnished vertical bars or fencings are not perceived by system under certain circumstances and can lead to damage of the car.

 

The 8-channel device of the help at a parking

Fragment of the central console: the help device switch at a parking

Description

At the movement by the back or forward course the 8-channel device by means of ultrasonic sensors measures distance to an obstacle. For measurement of distance in a front and rear bumper are established on four sensors (2 on the center, 2 on each side). Sensors start reacting when finding an obstacle in distance:

0.60 m

sideways

1.50 m

on the center

1.00 on

to the center ahead

Inclusion

The help device at a parking automatically turns on at inclusion of transfer of a backing. It is confirmed by a short sound signal.

The device can be turned on also manually pressing of a key of the central console. Inclusion is confirmed by also short sound signal. In a key the diode in addition burns.

Manual turning on of the device is necessary at a car parking a front bumper or at approach to an obstacle a front bumper and your desire to use the device.

Shutdown

The help device at a parking is automatically switched-off approximately at a speed more than 15 km/h. Besides, the device is switched-off at an engine stop.

The help device at a parking can be switched-off also a key.

Signal tonality

The warning of the driver of distance to an obstacle is carried out by means of sound signals of lobbies and back sound sensors. The loudness and height of a sound of signals can be changed.

Movement by a backing

The warning sound signal at the movement by a backing starts sounding at recognition of an obstacle (range of distances will be sheltered above). With reduction of distance to an obstacle temporary pauses between sound impulses are reduced.

At distance less than 0.30 m sound a continuous signal. It means the obligatory termination of the movement by a backing.

The low obstacles registered by sensors can, as approaching them, cease to be fixed by system, and will be absent respectively a warning sound signal.

Advance

The warning of distance to an obstacle is carried out the same as at the movement by a backing. However recognition of an obstacle comes at shorter distance from the car.

Maneuvering

Sound signals are temporarily disconnected if you when maneuvering switch transfer (for example, transfer of the back/forward course). However as soon as the system will register approach to an obstacle, the warning signal again will begin to sound.

Operation of the trailer

On cars with the traction coupling device of a factory complete set at operation of the trailer and inclusion of transfer of a backing back sensors of the device of the help at a parking do not join, and there is no warning of approach to an obstacle. Forward sensors continue to be in working situation and warn about approach to an obstacle a front bumper.

Malfunction of the device

Sounding within several seconds of a continuous sound signal at inclusion of transfer of a backing or turning on of the device a key, and also a light-emitting diode blinking in a key testifies to malfunction of system. Existence of malfunction up to switching off of ignition testifies that in repeated attempt of inclusion of system in a key the light-emitting diode will blink and there will be no acoustic signal. Eliminate malfunction.

If the system is faulty, at turning on of the device of the help at a parking the confirming sound signal is absent.

For ensuring operability of the device of the help at a parking keep sensors clean and free from ice.

The low obstacles caught by sensors can, as approaching them, cease to be fixed by system and will be absent respectively a warning sound signal. Also such subjects as protecting chains, dyshlo the trailer, the thin varnished vertical bars or fencings are not perceived by system under certain circumstances and can lead to damage of the car.

Tempostat

Introduction

Tempostat supports the set speed.

By means of this system - within the opportunities determined by power engine/efficiency of braking by the engine - it is possible to support any set speed, beginning approximately from 30 km/h. Thanks to it it is not required to hold a foot on an accelerator pedal that is especially convenient at distant trips.

During the operation of the device in a control panel the control lamp burns.

On cars with a manual box of gear shifting at the included system do not switch to neutral transfer wi
