This advanced Audi technology is design to help save fuel and reduce
CO
2
emissions at the same time. It shuts off the engine when you
stop at traffic signals or during certain stop-and-go driving. When
the system shuts off the engine, the Start-Stop System light
appears in the Driver Information System in the instrument cluster.
Releasing the brake pedal instantly restarts the engine and makes
power available before your foot even reaches the accelerator.
Simply drive as you normally would, and it works seamlessly.

TEXT A8START to 38981
Do not text and drive. Message and data rates may apply.
Important Safety Instructions and Warnings which you must read, are listed on the last panel under Start-Stop System.
If you wish to turn off the Start-Stop System, simply press
the
button located below the Audi multimedia panel
or MMI® display. The button will illuminate to tell you the
Start-Stop is off. The engine will continue to run when the
vehicle is stopped at traffic signals or during stop-and-go
driving. Of course, you will not receive the potential fuel
savings or CO
2
reduction benefit. Once you have turned off
Start-Stop, it will remain off until you press the
button to turn it back on.
NOTE: This feature is available on the A8 3.0T and A8 4.0T vehicles only.
