Foreword
Thank you for choosing the Audi A5.
The new Audi A5 combines the latest technology with numerous features for your comfort and
convenience. To help you get the best out of these features in everyday use, we recommend that
you read this Manual carefully so you can quickly become familiar with your vehicle in detail.
As well as information on how to use the controls and equipment, the Owner's Manual contains
important notes on care and maintenance. These are relevant to your safety and will help preserve
your car's value. The Manual also offers useful driving tips and advice, together with some suggestions on how to drive your car with minimum impact on the environment.
In addition to this Owner's Manual, the Service Wallet also includes the Service Schedule for your
vehicle. This booklet contains important information on Audi service requirements and lists the
vehicle's fuel consumption figures. The Service Wallet also includes operating manuals for
optional on-board systems such as the radio, navigation and telephone. We recommend that you
keep the Service Wallet in the car at all times.
Should you have any further questions regarding your car or if you suspect that your owner's literature is not complete, please contact your Audi dealer or importer. They are always glad to answer
your queries and note any suggestions you may have.
We wish you safe and enjoyable motoring with your Audi A5.

Driving tips
If the needle is still in the lower range of the dial, this indicates that
the engine has not yet reached operating temperature. Avoid high
engine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine loads.
Normal temperature
In normal operation the needle will settle somewhere in the centre
of the dial once the engine has reached operating temperature. The
needle may also go further up when the engine is working hard at
high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern provided
the warning symbol in the display does not start flashing.

Instruments and warning/indicator lamps
Warning symbol in instrument cluster
If the symbol lights up in the display, this means that either the
coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low
⇒ page 32.
If the needle is at the top end of the dial, this means the coolant
temperature is too high. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and
wait for it to cool down. If the warning lamp starts flashing again
after just a short distance, contact a qualified workshop.
WARNING
•
Before opening the bonnet and checking the coolant level,
please observe the warning information on ⇒ page 231, “Working
on components in the engine compartment”.
•
Never open the bonnet if you can see or hear steam or coolant
escaping from the engine compartment; there is a risk of being
scalded. Wait until you can no longer see or hear escaping steam
or coolant.
Rev counter
The rev counter indicates the number of engine revolutions per minute.
You should select a lower gear if the engine speed drops below
1500 rpm. The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the
maximum engine speed which may be used briefly when the engine
is warm and after it has been run in properly. However, it is advisable
to change up a gear or move the selector lever to “D” (or lift your
foot off the accelerator) before the needle reaches the red zone.
Caution
2 ⇒ page 11, fig. 2 to go into
Never allow the rev counter needle A
the red zone on the dial for more than a very brief period: there is a
risk of damaging the engine. The start of the red zone on the dial is
different for some engine versions.
For the sake of the environment
•
Caution
Additional lights and other accessories in front of the air inlet
reduce the cooling effect of the radiator. At high outside temperatures and high engine loads, there is a risk of the engine overheating.
•
The front spoiler also ensures proper distribution of the cooling
air when the vehicle is moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can
reduce the cooling effect, which could cause the engine to overheat.
You should obtain professional assistance.
Changing up a gear early will help you to save fuel and minimise
engine noise.

Instruments and warning/indicator lamps
•
Note
If the warning lamp lights up while the vehicle is moving, this indicates a fault in the engine management system. The engine should
be serviced by a qualified workshop without delay.
The indicator lamp lights up to show that the glow plugs
are preheating.
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic glow plug system.
The indicator lamp lights up while the glow plugs are preheating.
If the engine fails to start immediately, the glow plugs have not
finished preheating. In this case, keep the clutch pedal depressed
(or keep your foot on the brake if your vehicle has an automatic

•
•
It lights up when the ignition is switched on and should go out
again after about 2 seconds. This signals that the lamp is working
properly.
•
•
Applies to vehicles: with diesel engine
Glow plug system
The warning lamp will light up continuously if the ESP or the
traction control system (ASR) has been switched off using the ESP
OFF button ⇒ page 196.
Note
It will light up continuously if there is a malfunction in the ESP.
It will also come on if a fault should occur in the ABS because the
ESP operates in conjunction with the ABS.
If the battery has been disconnected, if the battery voltage is very
low, or if the engine has been started from an outside power source,
the ESP system will perform an initialisation of the various on-board
sensors while you drive the first few metres. The warning lamp will
light up during this period. It will go out when the initialisation has
been completed.
If the warning lamp lights up and stays on after the engine is
started, this may mean that the control system has temporarily
switched off the ESP. In this case the ESP can be reactivated by
switching the ignition off and then on again. If the warning lamp
goes out, this means the system is fully functional.
If the glow plug indicator lamp should start flashing while the
vehicle is moving, this indicates a fault in the engine management
system. The engine should be serviced without delay.
For further information on the ESP ⇒ page 196.
If the indicator lamp fails to light up when the ignition is
switched on, this can mean that the glow plug system is defective.
The engine should be serviced.

Instruments and warning/indicator lamps
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The warning lamp monitors the ABS and the electronic
differential lock (EDL).
The warning lamp lights up for a few seconds when the ignition
is switched on and while the engine is being started. The lamp goes
out again once the system has run through an automatic test
sequence.
There is a fault in the ABS if:
•
the warning lamp does not light up when the ignition is
switched on,
•
•
the warning lamp does not go out again after a few seconds,
the warning lamp lights up when the vehicle is moving.
WARNING
•
Before opening the bonnet and checking the brake fluid level,
observe the warning information on ⇒ page 231, “Working on
components in the engine compartment”.
•
If the brake warning lamp should light up together with the
ABS warning lamp , stop the vehicle immediately and check the
brake fluid level in the reservoir. If the fluid level has dropped
below the "MIN" mark you must not drive on - otherwise there may
be an increased accident risk. You should obtain professional
assistance.
•
If the brake fluid level is OK, the fault in the brake system may
have been caused by a failure of the ABS control function. As a
result the rear wheels can lock relatively easily when braking. This
could cause the tail of the vehicle to skid sideways. Drive carefully
to the nearest qualified workshop and have the fault rectified.
The vehicle can still be braked in the normal way (except that the
ABS control function is out of action). Please take the vehicle to a
qualified workshop as soon as possible. For further information on
the ABS ⇒ page 197.
Applies to vehicles: with Audi hold assist
If a fault occurs in the ABS, the ESP warning lamp will also light up.
Audi hold assist
Fault in the main brake system
This warning lamp monitors the Audi hold assist function.
If the ABS warning lamp lights up together with the brake
warning lamp ⇒ page 31, this indicates a fault in the ABS function, and possibly a malfunction in the main brake system as well
⇒
If there is a malfunction in the brake system the symbol will light
up in the instrument cluster. Please refer to ⇒ page 31.
Fault on the electronic differential lock (EDL)
The EDL works in conjunction with the ABS. If a malfunction should
occur in the EDL, this is indicated by the ABS warning lamp .
Please take the vehicle to a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
For further information on the EDL ⇒ page 199.
Audi hold assist helps the driver to keep the vehicle stationary while
the engine is running, for instance on steep gradients, at traffic
lights or in stop-and-go traffic. When the Audi hold assist function
is on, you don't have to keep your foot on the brake to prevent the
vehicle from accidentally rolling away. Once it detects that the
vehicle is stopped, Audi hold assist keeps the vehicle stationary. The
green symbol in the instrument cluster indicates that the function is activated. You can now take your foot off the brake pedal.
When the vehicle has been stationary for an extended period, Audi
hold assist will automatically apply the parking brake. In this case,
the green symbol will change to red .

Electro-mechanical parking brake
This warning lamp monitors the electro-mechanical
parking brake.
The warning lamp lights up when the parking brake is applied
with the ignition on. After the ignition has been switched off the
lamp will stay on for about 30 seconds. The warning lamp will light
up for about 30 seconds if the parking brake is applied with the ignition switched off.
The warning lamp should go out when the parking brake is released.
If the warning lamp flashes continuously after the parking brake has
been applied, the brake may not be strong enough to hold the
vehicle on a slope. This may be due to the brakes overheating.
Please note the following points:
•
19
WARNING
•
Before opening the bonnet and checking the brake fluid level,
observe the warning information on ⇒ page 231, “Working on
components in the engine compartment”.
•
If the brake warning lamp does not go out, or if it lights up
when driving, the brake fluid level in the reservoir is too low – this
may cause an increased accident risk. Stop the vehicle and do not
drive on. You should obtain professional assistance.
•
If the brake warning lamp lights up together with the ABS
warning lamp, this can mean that the control function of the ABS
is out of action. As a result the rear wheels can lock relatively
easily when braking. This could cause the tail of the vehicle to skid
sideways. Drive carefully to the nearest qualified workshop and
have the fault rectified.
If the gradient is too steep to park the vehicle safely, the display
will show the message Caution: Vehicle parked too steep.
•
In the event of a fault in the parking brake system the symbol
will also appear in the instrument cluster display together with the
message Parking brake! You should have the fault corrected by a
qualified workshop without delay.
Brake system
The warning lamp flashes if the brake fluid level is too low
or if there is a fault in the ABS system or the parking
brake.
If the warning lamp flashes, there is a fault in the brake system.
The symbol in the instrument cluster display will flash at the
same time. You can press the SET button to obtain a message
explaining the fault ⇒ page 31.
If a failure should occur in the ABS, the ABS warning lamp will
light up together with the brake warning lamp ⇒

When the needle reaches the reserve zone, the symbol lights up
in the instrument cluster display ⇒ page 36 together with the
message Please refuel. At this point there are still about 8 litres of
fuel left in the tank. This is your reminder to fill up soon.
The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the Technical data
section ⇒ page 293.
Caution
Never run the tank completely dry. If there is an irregular fuel supply,
misfiring can occur. This allows unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust
system, which could cause overheating and damage the catalytic
converter.

Speed warning function
Applies to vehicles: with speed warning function
Introduction
The speed warning function can help you keep below a
pre-set maximum speed.
The speed limit warning symbol for speed warning 2 will appear
in the display if you exceed the pre-set speed. Unlike speed limit
warning 1, the warning symbol only goes out once the road speed
has dropped below the stored value again.
Setting speed limit warning 2 ⇒ page 29.
Note
The speed warning function will warn you if the vehicle exceeds the
pre-set maximum speed. The system gives an audible warning
signal if the set speed is exceeded by about 3 km/h. A warning
symbol will also appear in the display . On some models the symbol
may look slightly different.
The speed warning function has two different warning speeds,
which operate independently and serve slightly different purposes:
Speed limit warning 1
With speed limit warning 1, the maximum speed can be changed
while driving. The speed limit that has been set remains stored until
the ignition is switched off, or until it is changed or cleared.
Please bear in mind that, even with the speed warning function, it is
still important to keep a check on the car's speed with the speedometer and to observe the statutory speed limits.
Applies to vehicles: with speed warning function
Setting speed limit warning 1
You can use the SET button to set, alter or cancel speed
limit warning 1.
The speed limit warning symbol for speed limit warning 1 will
appear in the display if you exceed the pre-set speed. It goes out
again if the speed is reduced below the set speed limit.
The symbol also goes out if the speed is increased to more than
about 40 km/h above the set speed for at least 10 seconds. This
cancels the speed limit that was originally set.

Power locking system
General description
The power locking system locks or unlocks all doors and
the rear lid simultaneously.
You can lock and unlock the vehicle centrally. You have the following
choices:
•
•
•
•
Remote master key ⇒ page 6
Door handles with advanced key* ⇒ page 7,
Lock cylinder at the driver's door ⇒ page 9, or
Power window switch inside ⇒ page 9.
The anti-theft warning system is activated automatically when you
lock the vehicle. It is deactivated when unlocking using the remote
key, with the mechanical key, and when you switch on the ignition.
The alarm also turns off when the alarm cycle has expired.
Turn signals
When you unlock the vehicle, the turn signals flash twice, when you
lock it once. If they do not flash, one of the doors, the rear lid or the
hood is not locked.
Unintentionally locking yourself out
In the following cases there safeguards to prevent you locking your
remote master key in the vehicle:
•
Selective unlocking
If a door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the central
locking system switch ⇒ page 9.
When they are closed, the door and rear lid are locked. When
unlocking, you can set in the radio or in the MMI* whether only the
driver's door or the entire vehicle should be unlocked ⇒ page 6.
On vehicles with advanced key*, if the most recently used master
key is in the luggage compartment, the rear lid is automatically
unlocked again after it is closed ⇒ page 11.
Automatic locking
The automatic locking feature locks all the vehicle doors and the
rear lid when you drive faster than 9 mph (15 km/h).
•
Do not lock your vehicle with the remote master key until all doors
and the rear lid are closed. In this way you avoid locking yourself out
accidentally.
The car is unlocked again once the ignition key is removed. In addition, the vehicle can be unlocked if the opening function in the
power locking system switch or at one of the door levers is actuated.
The Auto Lock function can be turned on and off in the radio or in
the MMI* ⇒ page 6.
•
Additionally, in the event of a crash with airbag deployment the
doors are automatically unlocked to allow access to the vehicle.
•
Anti-theft alarm warning system
If the anti-theft alarm warning system detects a break-in into the
vehicle, acoustic and visual warning signals are triggered.
WARNING
When you leave the vehicle, always remove the ignition key and
take it with you. This will prevent passengers (children, for
example) from accidentally being locked in the vehicle should they
accidentally press the power locking switch in the front doors.
Do not leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised. In an
emergency it would be impossible to open the doors from the
outside without the key.
6
Opening and closing
•
Tips
In the event of a crash with airbag deployment all locked doors
will be automatically unlocked to give access to the vehicle occupants from the outside.

driver's door using the mechanical key ⇒ page 10.
•
If the power locking system should fail, you can still open the
fuel tank flap in an emergency [Cross reference error: reference link
ID='Tankklappe-not' not found].
•
You are well advised not to keep valuables inside an unattended
vehicle, visible or not. Even a properly locked vehicle cannot provide
the security of a safe.
•
If the LED in the upper edge of the driver's door panel comes on
for about 30 seconds after the vehicle is locked, there is a malfunction in the power locking or the anti-theft warning system. Have the
malfunction corrected by an authorized Audi dealership or qualified
repair facility.
