and on slippery or wet roads, and when driv-  
ing too close to objects ahead. There is still  
a risk of accidents because the ESC and its  
integrated systems cannot always prevent  
collisions.  
If you select the offroad Audi drive select mode,  
the offroad ESC mode will be automatically used.  
This mode is suited for driving offroad and is de-  
signed for uneven terrain or loose ground.  
Accelerate carefully when driving on  
smooth, slippery surfaces such as ice and  
snow. The drive wheels can spin even when  
these control systems are installed and this  
can affect driving stability and increase the  
risk of a collision.  
Turning off ESC  
For a more active control of the vehicle where the  
stabilizing functions of the ESC cannot intervene,  
the ESC can be turned off.  
As the vehicle load increases, especially the  
roof load, the vehicle's center of gravity also  
increases along with the risk of the vehicle  
tipping. To reduce the risk of an accident, al-  
ways adapt your driving style to the current  
conditions and avoid sudden driving maneu-  
vers.  
To turn off the ESC, press and hold the but-  
ton for more than three seconds. The and

To completely reactivate the ESC stabilization  
function, press the button again. The indicator  
lights turn off.  
Tips  
WARNING  
The ABS and ASR only function correctly when  
all four wheels have a similar wear condition.  
Different tire sizes can result in a reduction in  
engine power.  
When the ESC is turned off or limited, there  
will be no vehicle stabilization or it will be  
limited. The driving wheels could spin and  
the vehicle could swerve, especially on slick  
or slippery road surfaces. When there is a  
heavy vehicle load and sudden driving ma-  
neuvers, it may not be possible to prevent  
the vehicle from tipping under certain cir-  
cumstances, which increases the risk of an  
accident.  
Operation  
The button (or , depending on the model)  
for controlling the ESC is located in front of the  
transmission selector in the center console. ESC  
turns on automatically when the ignition is  
turned on.  
Because of the increased risk of an accident,  
only drive with the ESC turned off or limited  
when it is necessary. Reactivate the ESC as  
soon as possible.  
Limiting ESC  
It may make sense in some situations to limit the  
ESC stabilization functions so that the wheels can  
spin:  
Tips  
If you select the Audi drive select* offroad  
mode, hill descent assist will turn on.  
If the ESC is limited, turned off, or malfunc-  
tioning, systems with an automatic braking  
intervention function may not be fully avail-  
able.

The ESC can be limited in order to allow the  
wheels to spin.  
If malfunctions occur in other systems or  
certain driver assistance systems are active,  
the ESC must be turned on by the system.  
The ESC may turn on automatically and can-  
not be operated with the button.  
To limit the ESC, press the button briefly.

General information  
Never damage, alter or remove the orange  
high-voltage cable or disconnect it from the  
high-voltage system.  
Never perform any work using cutting, shap-  
ing or sharp-edged tools or heat sources  
near the high-voltage system and high-volt-  
age cables.  
Introduction  
Applies to: vehicles with plug-in hybrid drive  
All work done on the high-voltage system must  
only be performed by certified high-voltage tech-  
nicians at authorized Audi dealers or authorized  
Audi Service Facilities in accordance with Audi  
guidelines.  
Gases that escape from the high-voltage  
battery can be poisonous or flammable.  
Do not expose yourself to any leaking fluids  
and do not come into contact with them.  
The high-voltage battery electrolyte fluid is  
caustic. If electrolyte fluid comes into con-  
tact with the skin, flush the affected area for  
at least 15 minutes with clean water. Then  
wash the affected area with soap. Have the  
affected area examined by a medical profes-  
sional.  
The high-voltage system is composed of the fol-  
lowing high-voltage components, among other  
things: the high-voltage battery, the power elec-  
tronics, the electric motor, the high-voltage A/C  
compressor, the high-voltage heater, the charg-  
ing system and charging port, and the orange  
high-voltage wiring.  
In the event of a technical emergency, in-  
form the responders that the vehicle is  
equipped with a high-voltage battery.  
The high voltage battery is located in the luggage  
compartment underneath the cargo floor. You  
must not service the high-voltage battery your-  
self.  
Note  
The high-voltage system can be damaged if  
the vehicle underbody comes into contact  
with the ground. Immediately drive your vehi-  
cle to an authorized repair facility and have it  
inspected.  
WARNING  
The voltage in the high-voltage system is high  
enough to cause fatal injuries. Touching dam-  
aged high-voltage components can result in a  
fatal electric shock. The components in the  
high-voltage system are marked with a warn-  
ing label which warns against the high-volt-  
age.  
Guidelines for dangerous situations  
General safety guidelines  
The voltage level in the high-voltage system  
is still dangerous and potentially life-threat-  
ening when the ignition is turned off.  
Do not touch any of the contacts in the  
charging port, for example when cleaning  
the charging unit. If you would like to clean  
the charging unit, use only a dry cloth and  
no other tools, such a screwdriver or a  
brush.  
Dangerous situations may develop if messages  
that indicate danger appear or if you notice the  
smell of fire or gas. In dangerous situations, pro-  
ceed as follows:  
Do not inhale escaping gases.  
Make sure that you and all other passengers  
move away from the dangerous area to a safer  
place, for example behind a guard rail.  
Contact emergency services.  
Never perform work on the orange high-  
voltage cables or on other high-voltage  
components. Only authorized repair facili-  
ties that are certified may perform work on  
the high-voltage system.  
Do not attempt to extinguish the fire yourself.  
Do not attempt to move the vehicle.

Applies to: vehicles with plug-in hybrid drive  
A plug-in hybrid vehicle is equipped with an elec-  
tric and a conventional drive system. The electric  
drive system is equipped with a high-voltage bat-  
tery (also called a hybrid battery/traction bat-  
tery) and supports the combustion engine in cer-  
tain situations. The usage considerably influences  
the service life of the high-voltage battery. Read  
and observe the following information on conser-  
vative use of the high-voltage battery:  
Turn on the emergency flashers if possible.  
Set the parking brake.  
Turn off the ignition.  
In order to support emergency services, be sure  
to leave the key visible in the vehicle, for exam-  
ple in the center console.

tric and conventional drive systems are used. If  
only the electric drive system is used for long  
periods of driving, then the high-voltage bat-  
tery will wear more quickly.  
Avoid quickly discharging the high-voltage bat-  
tery by repeatedly accelerating abruptly when  
driving in full-electric mode or during boosting.  
You must not use your vehicle to jump start an-  
other vehicle. This could cause significant dam-  
age to the electrical system in your vehicle.

High-voltage system  
Audi recommends using alternating current (AC)  
to charge the high-voltage battery at industrial  
sockets, charging stations, or a wallbox. This will  
allow you to achieve higher efficiency and a con-  
siderably shorter charging time when compared  
to charging with a household socket.  
trical equipment) and can lead to serious inju-  
ries or death.  
Do not charge using sockets or electrical  
equipment that is clearly damaged or instal-  
led incorrectly.  
Never use charging equipment that is clearly  
damaged and/or dirty. Check the charging  
equipment for damage before every use.  
Never modify or repair any electrical compo-  
nents, especially the high-voltage system.  
Never charge in areas at risk for explosions.  
The components in the charging equipment  
can trigger sparks, which can cause flamma-  
ble or explosive fumes to ignite. To reduce  
the risk of explosions, especially in garages,  
make sure the Audi e-tron charging system  
control unit is at least 19 inches (50 cm)  
above the floor when charging.  
Only charge at household sockets with the Audi  
e-tron Charging System Compact under special  
circumstances when it is not possible to charge  
at an industrial alternating current (AC) socket or  
at a public alternating current (AC) charging sta-  
tion.  
High-voltage batteries age over time, which re-  
duces the available range. High-voltage batteries  
can also age based on how they are used: fre-  
quently charging the high-voltage battery com-  
pletely can accelerate the aging of the battery  
and reduce the available range.  
Never use the charging equipment with an  
extension cord, a cable reel, a power strip,  
or an adapter, for example, a travel adapter  
or timer.  
Charging time  
The duration of the charging session may vary  
based on the following factors:  
Do not touch the contacts on the vehicle  
charging port or charging equipment.  
Do not insert any objects in the vehicle  
charging port or in the charging equipment.  
Always protect the sockets and connections  
from water, moisture and other fluids.  
Only use the charging equipment provided  
by the factory for your vehicle, or the charg-  
ing station cable.

immediately. Even if the vehicle is not used,  
the high-voltage battery charge level will  
naturally reduce over time. To avoid total  
battery discharge during long periods with-  
out use (more than one year), charge the  
high-voltage battery to approximately 80%  
capacity (second to the last charging bar)  
before parking the vehicle.  
qualified electrician is thereby responsible  
for adhering to applicable standards and  
regulations.  
Make sure that the household socket is  
grounded and shielded from water.  
If Audi charging systems do not function ac-  
cording to the specifications in the operat-  
ing manual, they must not be used. Contact  
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized  
Audi Service Facility.  
Audi charging systems are intended for use  
in private and semi-private areas (for exam-  
ple, private property and company parking  
lots). Depending on the country where the  
vehicle is operated, charging with a mode 2  
charging cable (meaning charging with the  
Audi charging system) may be prohibited in  
public areas. Contact an authorized Audi  
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility for  
more information.  
Make sure that you always use the correct  
charging equipment for the country in  
which it is being used. Contact an author-  
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service  
Facility for more information.  
Tips  
Your vehicle can only be charged at charging  
stations that meet the requirements in the  
respective country and meet the following  
standards, at a minimum:  
Operate the Audi charging systems in power  
networks that are properly grounded. Do  
not operate with non-grounded power net-  
works (such as IT networks).  
GB/T 18487.1 and GB/T 20234 (China)  
IEC 61851 and IEC 62196 (Europe)  
SAE J1772 (North America, Japan)  
You can use your Audi charging system if  
there is a household or industrial connec-  
tion available at the charging station.  
When charging the high-voltage battery us-  
ing household/industrial sockets, the elec-  
trical installation can be used at full capaci-  
ty. Audi recommends having a qualified  
electrician regularly inspect the electrical in-  
stallations that are used for charging.  
If possible, disconnect Audi charging sys-  
tems from the power network during a  
thunderstorm.  
Tips  
Applies to: Audi charging systems  
For an uninterrupted charging session, Audi  
recommends only charging using sockets  
that are connected to a separately protected  
circuit.  
Never submerge the Audi charging systems  
or the connectors in water.  
Audi charging systems must only be cleaned  
when the control unit is completely discon-  
nected from the power supply and from the  
vehicle. Use a dry towel to clean.  
To reduce the risk of overheating during op-  
eration, do not place Audi charging systems  
in direct sunlight for long periods of time. If  
the control unit is overheated, the charging  
session is automatically paused until the  
temperature has lowered back within the  
normal range.  
Audi charging systems are only intended for  
use with Audi vehicles. These charging sys-  
tems are not approved for use with vehicles  
from other manufacturers.
