On the road...
Never drive after you have consumed alcohol
or drugs.
Always have your safety belt fastened.
Always drive defensively. Expect the unexpect-
ed.
Use signals to indicate turns and lane changes.
Turn on headlights at dusk or when the driving
conditions warrant it.
Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle
in front of you, depending on traffic, road and
weather conditions.
Reduce speed at night and during inclement
weather. Driving in wet weather requires
caution and reduced speeds, particularly
on roads with standing water, as the handling
characteristics of the vehicle may be impaired
due to hydroplaning of the tires.
Always observe speed limits and obey road
signs and traffic laws.
When tired, get well off the road, stop and take
a rest. Turn the engine off. Do not sit in the
vehicle with engine idling.
Please observe the chapter ”ENGINE
EXHAUST” on page 9.
When parked, always set the parking brake.
Move the Tiptronic selector lever to ”P“ or the
gearshift lever to reverse or first gear. On hills
also turn the front wheels toward the curb.
When emergency repairs become necessary,
move the vehicle well off the road. Turn on
the emergency flasher and use other warning
devices to alert other motorists. Do not park
or operate the vehicle in areas where the hot
exhaust system may come in contact with dry
grass, brush, spilled fuel or other flammable
material.
Make it a habit to have the engine oil checked
after every refueling.
