Audi Q5: Start/Stop system

Audi Q5 Type 8R (2008 - 2017) Owner's Manual / Operation / Driving / Start/Stop system

Description

Applies to vehicles: with Start-Stop-System

The Start-Stop-System can help increase fuel economy and reduce CO2 emissions.

In the Start-Stop-mode, the engine shuts off automatically when the vehicle is stopped, such as at a traffic light. The ignition remains switched on during this stop phase. The engine will be automatically restarted when needed.

The last Start-Stop-System setting (on/off using the button ) will be restored when the ignition is turned on. The LED in the button turns on when the Start-Stop-System is switched off manually.

Basic requirements for the Start-Stop mode

  • The driver's door is closed.
  • The driver's seat belt is latched.
  • The hood is closed.
  • The vehicle must have been driven faster than 2.5 mph (4 km/h) since the last stop.
  • A trailer is not hitched to the vehicle.

WARNING

  • Never turn off the engine before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. The full function of the brake booster and the power steering is not guaranteed. You must use more force to turn or brake if necessary. Because you cannot steer and brake as you usually would, this could lead to crashes and serious injuries.
  • To reduce the risk of injuries, make sure that the Start-Stop-System is turned off when working in the engine compartment.

Note

Always switch off the Start-Stop-System when driving through water.
