Getting started  
After a software update has been issued or a sup-  
plement has been published in digital form only,  
the information in the printed Owner’s Manual  
may differ from the information in the digital  
Owner’s Manual. In this case, the digital Owner’s  
Manual contains the more up-to-date informa-  
tion.  
Getting started

Manual may be available:  
Information on vehicle equipment  
Vehicle-specific features  
Digital Owner’s Manual and printed Owner’s  
Manual  
The Owner’s Manual is not specific to your vehi-  
cle. It includes descriptions of all standard, coun-  
try-specific and optional equipment that is avail-  
able for the entire model series. Some of the  
equipment described may therefore not be fitted  
in your vehicle. Standard and optional equipment  
is not marked. It is also possible that some  
equipment and functions will only be introduced  
at a later date or are only available in specific  
markets. Illustrations are intended as a general  
guide and may vary from the equipment fitted in  
your vehicle. No legal commitment can therefore  
be implied by the information, illustrations and  
descriptions.  
A digital Owner’s Manual and a printed Owner’s  
Manual are available for your vehicle.  
Printed Owner’s Manual  
Only a printed Owner’s Manual is available for  
your vehicle.  
Supplements and updates to the Owner’s  
Manual  
1)  
Please bear in mind that Audi works continu-  
ously to develop and further improve all products  
and models. Audi reserves the right to alter any  
part of the vehicle and its equipment or technical  
specifications at any time. It is therefore also  
possible that the Owner’s Manual will be upda-  
ted. This may be done by publishing supplements  
which may be made available to you as printed  
documents and in digital form. It may also be  
done by issuing software updates.  
Equipment fitted

equipment is fitted in your vehicle based on the

dicate functions or faults. Certain warning and in-  
dicator lamps light up when the vehicle is switch-  
ed on and should go back out when the drive sys-  
tem is switched on or once the vehicle is moving.
