Driving
- The ESC, the brake system, or the vehicle elec-
trical system is not functioning
— Only apply the brakes for the purpose of
cleaning the brake system when road and
traffic conditions permit. You must not en-
danger other road users because this in-
creases the risk of an accident.
= Due to the risk of injury, only have an au-
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility work on the brake system.
Incorrect repairs could impair the function.
— Never let the vehicle roll while the drive sys-
tem is switched off because this increases
the risk of an accident.
— During automatic braking maneuvers, the
brake pedal may move downward automati-
cally. To reduce the risk of injury, do not
place your foot under the brake pedal.
—Never let the brakes “rub” by pressing the
pedal lightly when braking is not actually
necessary. This can cause the brakes to over-
heat and increases braking distance and
causes wear.
— Observe the important information for driv-
ing downhill > page 98. This especially ap-
plies when towing a trailer.
— Ifyou retrofit your vehicle with a front spoil-
er, wheel covers or similar items, make sure
that the
air flow to the brakes is not ob-
structed. Otherwise the brake system can
overheat.
—Also refer to the information about brake
fluid > page 234.
