Audi Extended Warranty
Audi Extended Warranty
can only be ordered directly and on purchase of a new
car; is a consistent continuation of the manufacturer’s
guarantee so that you are protected against risk and
can control servicing costs even after the first 2 years.
9combinations of service life and mileage can be
selected:
1 additional year under Audi extended warranty,
maximum total mileage of 30,000 km
1 additional year under Audi Extended Warranty,
maximum total mileage of 60,000 km
1 additional year under Audi Extended Warranty,
maximum total mileage of 90,000 km
2 additional years under Audi Extended Warranty,
maximum total mileage of 40,000 km
2 additional years under Audi Extended Warranty,
maximum total mileage of 80,000 km

maximum total mileage of 100,000 km
3 additional years under Audi Extended Warranty,
maximum total mileage of 150,000 km
Technology/safety
Start-stop system
helps to reduce fuel consumption and
CO₂ emissions
by switching off the engine
in stationary phases, e.g.
at traffic lights. The start process is initiated
as soon
as the clutch is
pressed (manual transmission) or when
the foot brake is released (S tronic). May be deactivated
using a switch at any time
Recuperation
Increasing the generator voltage converts kinetic
energy into usable electrical energy when the vehicle
is coasting or braking.
This (brake) energy recovery
is used to assist the generator during subsequent
acceleration, saving up to 3 % fuel.
Coasting mode
can be activated in efficiency mode in Audi drive select,
allows an anticipatory driving style and reduces fuel
consumption in “D” mode; automatically disengages
when the accelerator is released, automatically
re-engages when the brake pedal or accelerator pedal
is pressed.
Audi TDI clean diesel (nitrogen oxide storage
catalytic converter)
In addition to the standard equipment with catalytic
converter and diesel particulate filter, the model with
TDI clean diesel has low exhaust emissions thanks to
the maintenance-free nitrogen oxide storage catalytic
converter, which significantly reduces nitrogen oxides
in the exhaust flow. It thus already fulfils the EU6
emission standard that will apply from 2014.
S tronic®
The 6 or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission facilitates
quick gear changing with no perceptible break in
propulsive power; can be operated via the optional
shift paddles behind the steering wheel, the selector
lever or in automatic mode; includes hill hold assist
Front-wheel drive
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) through intervention
of the braking system on all driven wheels, Anti-Slip
Regulation (ASR), Electronic Stabilisation Control (ESC)
with brake assist
quattro®
permanent all-wheel drive for outstanding traction
and safety; with wheel-selective torque control,
electronically controlled multi-plate clutch on the rear
axle and Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) via braking
intervention on all driven wheels
Diesel particulate filter, additive-free
on all diesel models; the automatic filter system
reduces soot particle emissions.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
On surfaces with varying levels of grip, this start-off
assistant automatically brakes the drive wheels on any
surface that is too slippery, thereby ensuring powerful
progress.
Electronic Stabilisation Control (ESC)
can be deactivated, with hydraulic brake assist:
The Electronic Stabilisation Control ensures
greater
stability in hazardous situations through targeted
braking of individual wheels and intervention in the
engine management system and helps to stabilise
the vehicle by changing the steering torque.
Electronic Stabilisation Control (ESC) with
electronic axle-differential lock
The electronic axle-differential lock function is
inte
grated in the Electronic Stabilisation Control on
front-
wheel drive models. It distributes the drive
torque by means of targeted braking actions,
depending on the driving situation. When cornering,
the axle-differential lock actively intervenes before
under-steering is even perceptible. This provides
improved traction
and dynamics when cornering, as
well as precise driving.
In addition, agility is improved
during steering while driving safety is simultaneously
increased.
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
reduces spinning of the drive wheels by reducing the
engine output and delivers more traction and stability
on the road surface
Manual transmission
6-speed, all-synchromesh, with hydraulically operated
single-disc dry clutch with asbestos-free linings,
dual-mass flywheel
