School is back in session and football is back on television…that means the fall season is upon us. Here are a few things to check to get your Audi ready for the fall months, and keep you safe on the road.

Headlights/Other Lights
With shorter days and longer nights, you use the lights in your Audi more during the fall (and winter) months. For visibility and safety reasons, make sure they are in proper working order by checking your taillights, parking lights, stop lights, fog lights and emergency flashers. It’s important for you to see on the road, as well as for others to see you.

Point – shoot – retrieve answer. That’s just it when it comes to Audi’s new augmented reality app, Audi eKurzinfo, for Audi owners.

As a free download in the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad users, the Audi eKurzinfo app allows drivers to discover their vehicles in a new way and learn about their vehicle's functionality.

Not so fast.

In the recent news/craze of BMW’s i3, the all-electric vehicle, Audi plans to do the same in the near future. So what’s the current holdup, you ask? Apparently, it’s improved battery technology.

Make sure your brakes are in good working order, get them checked!

August isn’t just the last full month of summer, it’s also Brake Safety Awareness Month. If you’re planning on taking one last summer vacation before the season is over and before school starts, be sure to have your brakes checked out to keep you and your family safe on the road.
