Audi Q5: 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.
