- 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. This increases
the
risk
of
an
accident.
-
On
steep
slopes, reduce
the
speed
and
se-
lect
a lower
gear
or
lower
selector
lever po-
sition. Drive
as
little
as
possible
while
press-
ing
the
brake
pedal
and
avoid
putting
your
left
foot
on
the
brake
pedal
while driving.
This could
cause
the
brakes
to
overheat
and
impair
the
efficiency
of
the
brakes.
-
Do
not
let
the
brakes "grind" by always
keeping
your
foot
on
the
brake pedal. This
can
cause
the
brakes
to
overh
eat,
increase
wear
and
i
ncrease
braking
distance
unneces-
sarily.
-
Certain
weather
and
operat
ing condit ions
such
as
driving
through
water,
driving
in
heavy rain
or
driving
after
washing
your
ve-
hicle
can
impair
the
effectiveness
of
the
brakes. In
the
winter,
ice may build up on
the
brake
pads,
rotors
and
drums.
Check
these
components
by braking carefully. Ap-
plying
the
brakes
carefully
several
times
dries
the
brakes
and
removes ice build-up.
- The efficiency
of
the
brakes
can
also be im-
paired by driving
for
long
stretches
on
roads
covered with
salt
without
using
the
brakes.
You
can remove
salt
deposits
from
the
brake
rotors
and
pads
by carefully applying
the
brakes
several
t i
mes.
-
If
the
front
spoiler
is
damaged
or
you i
nsta
ll
another
spoiler,
make
sure
the
front
whee
l
brakes
are
vent
il
ated
properly. Otherwise,
the
brake
system
could
overheat,
which re-
duces
the
ir effectiveness.
- Failure
of
a brake circuit impairs braking
performance,
which increases braking dis-
tance.
Avoid
driving
the
vehicle
and
have
it
towed
it
to
the
nearest
authorized
Audi
dealer
or
authorized
Audi Service Facility.
- Never
let
the
vehicle roll while
the
engine
is
stopped
because
this
increases
the
risk
of
an
accident.
-
If
the
brake
booster
is
not
working, you will
have
to
press
much
harder
on
the
brake
90
pedal
to
compensate
for
the
lack
of
the
booster.
@ Note
- Never
let
the
brakes
"rub" by
pressing
the
pedal
lightly
when
braking is
not
really nec-
essary. This
causes
the
brakes
to
overheat
and
increases braking
distance
and
causes
wear.
- Before driving a long
distance
on
a
steep
slope,
decrease
your
speed
and
select
a low-
er
driving gear. This
makes
use
of
the
en-
gine
braking
effect
and
relieves
the
brakes.
If
you
need
to
brake additionally, brake in
in
te
rva ls and
not
continuously.
(D
Tips
-
Ifthe
brake
boos
t
er
is
not
working, you
must
press
the
brake
peda
l wi
th
much
more
force
than
normal.
-
If
you
retrofit
your
vehicle with a
front
spoil-
er
wheel
covers
or
similar
items,
make
sure
'
that
the
air flow
to
the
front
wheels
is
not
interrupted.
Otherwise
the
brake
system
can
become
too
hot.
Electromechanical
