Dear Audi Driver,

This quick reference guide gives you a brief introduction

to the main features and controls of your vehicle.

However, it cannot replace the Owner’s Manual and the

other manuals supplied with the vehicle; these contain

important information and safety warnings.

We wish you safe and enjoyable motoring

with your Audi.
