Note Reference iii iv Introduction The third generation TT Roadster marks the continuation of a great tradition. The designers at Audi have re-interpreted the styling of this classic vehicle and complemented it with innovative new components. Like the 2016 TT Coupe, the Roadster will feature a 2.0L TFSI engine and DSG transmission as well as quattro. The flat and taut top of the TT Roadster provides a clear contrast with the body and is defined by the short side window design that is typical of the Roadster. The TT is equipped with an electrically operated fabric top. The body shell of the new TT Roadster represents a new evolution of the Audi Space Frame (ASF) based on the modular transverse matrix (MQB). Compared with the Coupe, the body of the Roadster has been modified in key areas. Ultra-high strength components made from hotstamped steel reinforce the front end and the occupant cell floor. Aluminium is used in the cell as well as in all outer skin parts and attachments in the form of three typical semi-finished products – die-cast nodal elements, extruded profiles and sheet metal. The new TT Roadster combines the dynamic ride of a sports car with the driving experience of an open top two-seater. This was accomplished in part by struts in the underbody and body that enhance torsional rigidity and thus ride comfort. The innovative new Audi virtual cockpit will also be standard on the TT Roadster. This new display and control concept received the Car Connectivity Award and the Interior Innovation of the Year at the 2014 Automotive Interiors Expo Awards. 631_002 1 Here is a quick summary of the features of 2016 TT Roadster explained in detail in this Self-Study Program. Engine Assistance systems Four cylinder engine with turbocharger: • 2.0L TFSI 220 hp (169 kW). The following systems are optionally available: • Audi side assist. • Park assist system with ambient display. Climate control All control functions of the automatic climate control air conditioning system are integrated into the air vents. The air conditioning system has small displays which show the selected setting. The Audi TT Roadster is optionally available with sport seats including a head space heater. 2 Body Power transmission Audi Space Frame (ASF) body made from aluminum and steel with high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel alloys, die-cast aluminum nodal elements and side panels. Full-time quattro drive – systematically developed and refined for the TT – with electro-hydraulic multiplate clutch on the rear axle. It is possible to customize the all-wheel drive characteristics with Audi drive select. Internal steel ribbing ensures the aluminum sills have high-strength properties. V‑shaped steel struts reinforce the zones underneath the engine compartment and the luggage compartment, and connect the axle carriers. Occupant safety systems Rigid rollover bars protect the occupants in the event of a rollover. The front side airbags (head-thorax airbags) protect the occupants in the event of a side impact. 631_043 Convertible top Electrically actuated convertible top. Graphical display of convertible top operation in Audi virtual cockpit. A power operated wind deflector improves ride comfort when driving with the top down.

Ultra high strength components made from hot-stamped steel reinforce the front end and the occupant cell floor. Aluminum is used in the cell as well as in all outer skin parts and attachments in the form of three typical semi-finished products - die-cast nodal elements, extruded profiles and sheet metal. In total, 50% cold formed steel and 11% hot formed steel are used in the new TT Roadster. Outer skin The entire outer skin of the Audi TT Roadster is made of aluminum. This includes: • • • • • Front fenders. Side panels. Hood attachments. Doors. Trunk lid. Key: Sheet aluminum Die-cast aluminum Aluminum section Ultra-high strength steel (hot-formed) Advanced high strength steel High strength steel Low strength steel 6 The 37% share of aluminum is distributed as follows: • 21% sheet aluminum. • 8% die-cast aluminum. • 8% aluminum profile. Altogether, the body of the Audi TT Roadster including attachments weighs 741lbs (336kg). The crash safety performance of the TT Roadster is formidable due to the intelligent hybrid construction concept. Design The occupant cell of the Audi TT Roadster weighs 119 lb (54 kg). It is an aluminum lattice structure where 10 castings form the nodal points of the bodyshell. There are large nodal elements at the A-pillars that connect the sill, window cross member and the upper longitudinal section in the front end. The following components are made of die-cast aluminum: • • • • • A-pillar. Top front roof frame nodal element. Inner B-pillar. Inner B-pillar connecting part. Rear roof frame nodal element. 631_003 7 Body reinforcements A-pillar Compared with the Coupe, the body of the TT Roadster has been modified in key areas. To provide additional stiffening, an inner panel made of high strength steel and a reinforcing tube are concealed behind the die-cast aluminum A- pillars. The reinforcing tube is made from ultra high strength hot stamped steel. These components offer the occupants a high level of safety in the event of a rollover. Diagonal struts Additional V-shaped steel struts reinforce the front and rear axle carriers and connect them to the bodyshell. These supporting measures provide a high level of vehicle rigidity and help reduce the transfer of vibration to the passenger compartment. Diagonal struts Sound-absorbing pan The Audi TT Roadster has an aluminum sound-absorbing pan, which not only reinforces the front end structure, but also provides added sound insulation. Sound-absorbing pan 8 631_080 Rear bulkhead In the Audi TT Roadster, a solid bulkhead made of two box profiles separates the occupant cell from the luggage compartment and replaces the bottom cross member found on the Coupe. The top section of the bulkhead houses the steel rollover bars, a well-known and classic design feature of the Roadster. Mounting plates seal the openings in the rear bulkhead, which features through-loading as standard. Door sills of the Audi TT Coupe 631_004 Door sill The door sills made from extruded aluminum profiles give extra strength. 631_081 Door sills of the Audi TT Roadster Due to the absence of a roof structure, it is necessary for the door sills of the TT Roadster to be thicker and be integrated into the structure by means of die-cast nodes in the B-pillar. The modified interior geometry provides much higher strength. 631_082 9 Convertible top Overview The new Audi TT Roadster features a classical soft top with a Z fold system. While opening, the soft top forms a ‑Z shape as it folds together into a flat package, which is stored in an aluminum tray behind the seats. With parts made from magnesium, aluminum, steel and plastic, the soft top weighs just 86 lb (39 kg). A feature of this space-saving folding system is that the front section of the soft top folds over the fabric as a cover and locks flush with the vehicle body. 631_022 10 Convertible top fabric The convertible top fabric of the TT Roadster provides extremely good thermal insulation in addition to reducing noise levels - especially in the airflow frequency range. The noise level in the interior has been reduced (depending on frequency) by up to 6 dB compared to the predecessor model. The radio antennas are integral with the convertible top and hidden from view. Because of the elaborate clamping system of the roof, it is held completely taut even at high speeds and presents a homogeneous look that conceals the cross bows. Insulation Interior lining Convertible top fabric Bag Convertible top bow tube 631_074 Rear window defroster The heated glass rear window is a component part of the convertible top cover and cannot be replaced individually if damaged. In this case, the complete cover must be replaced. Convertible top flaps The side openings for the soft top mechanism drive are covered by the convertible top flaps, eliminating the need for a tonneau cover or convertible top box lid. 631_073 631_072 11 Wind deflector To reduce airflow in the interior when the convertible top is open, the TT Roadster is equipped with an electrically extendable wind deflector. It is possible to remove and install the wind deflector, its support, and the Convertible Wind Deflector Motor without removing the convertible top. 631_076 12 Displays and operation of convertible top The convertible top of the TT Roadster has an all electric drive system. It is driven by two electric motors - one on each side of the vehicle - mounted on the main bearings of the top. Roof operation is controlled by the Convertible Top Control Module. Basics of convertible top operation The convertible top is operated by pressing and holding the Power Top Operation Switch until an opening or closing cycle is completed. This is referred to as “manual” operation. 631_007 Power Top Operation Switch Convertible top operating cycle During manual operation, the Power Top Operation Switch must be actuated continuously while the top operating cycle is in progress. If the switch is released, the operating cycle stops instantaneously. If the switch is activated again, the cycle is continued. However, the Convertible Top Control Module initiates a “soft starting” of the Convertible Top Motors. The purpose of the “soft start” is to ensure top does not wobble or shudder when moving but rather that it starts evenly and smoothly. Continuing to actuate the Power Top Operation Switch after the top has been fully opened or closed causes the side windows to close completely. Windows will stop moving if the switch is released. Automatic operation of the convertible top is not possible when the vehicle is stationary or travelling faster than 31 mph (50 km/h). 13 Audi virtual cockpit display There is no separate instrument panel indicator for the top operating cycle. Instead, when the operating cycle is started, the top position is displayed graphically in Audi virtual cockpit. Depending on the view setting, the displays are positioned either in the center or at the side. A curved arrow over the convertible top indicates the direction in which the convertible top is moving: • Arrow tip pointing backwards: convertible top is opening. • Arrow tip pointing forwards: convertible top is closing. The convertible top is shown in red, as is the case with an open door. 68.0°F 631_031 European instrument cluster shown. Display for discontinued convertible top operating cycle Display for discontinued convertible top operating cycle 68.0°F 631_033 If no arrow is displayed over the convertible top, the convertible top operating cycle has been initiated but discontinued. The convertible top is therefore currently in an intermediate position. If no arrow is displayed over the convertible top, the convertible top operating cycle has been initiated but interrupted. The convertible top is therefore currently in an intermediate position. 14 Displays for complete convertible top operating cycle When the top operating cycle is completed, the status (opened or closed) is indicated in the display for approximately two seconds and an audible signal sounds at the same time. Convertible top operating cycle complete – convertible top open Convertible top operating cycle complete – convertible top closed 68.0°F 68.0°F 631_035 631_034 Displays when convertible top operation is not possible If the convertible top cannot be operated, it is indicated in the instrument cluster. An audible signal sounds at the same time. A warning is given and one of seven different messages is displayed. Warning display A warning is given if the top is in an intermediate position, the vehicle is travelling faster than 3 mph (5 km/h) and there is a static DTC fault code in the fault memory. In addition to the warning, the yellow central warning lamp comes on. Yellow central warning symbol Display in driver information tab and warning lamps tab highlighted red Yellow vehicle/convertible top icon in the status line Displayed text Convertible top: Fault! You can continue driving (limited functionality) See Owner's Manual 68.0°F 631_039 15 Message displays Other reasons why the convertible top cannot be operated are displayed as messages. • When messages about the convertible top are displayed, the yellow central warning lamp is not activated. • When these messages are displayed, the vehicle/convertible top icon appears in the status line. • Message texts are not included in the driver information and warning lamps tab. If the convertible top is in an end position (open or closed) and a convertible top operating cycle is initiated in the same direction as the limit stop, "no" actions are initiated and no messages are displayed. This message is displayed if the top is in an end position (open or closed) and the Power Top Operation Switch is actuated at a speed higher than 32 mph (50 km/h). In this situation, a top operating cycle is not initiated. Convertible top: no operation possible. Speed too high. 68.0°F 631_038 This message is displayed in the following situations: • If a convertible top operating cycle is active and the vehicle speed increases to 34 mph (55 km/h). In this case, the operating cycle is stopped. • Or: If a convertible top operating cycle is active, the vehicle speed increases to 34 mph (55 km/h) and the convertible top still moves into its limit position. For a list of conditions under which the convertible top still moves into its limit position at 34 mph (55 km/h) or higher (refer to page 27). • Or: If a convertible top operating cycle was active or discontinued (Power Top Operation Switch was released) and the convertible top is in an intermediate position. The vehicle speed subsequently increases to at least 31 mph (50 km/h) and the switch is actuated again. In this case, the convertible top operating cycle is not resumed. Convertible top: not in limit position. Speed too high. 68.0°F 631_038 16 This message is displayed if the Power Top Operation Switch is actuated to open the top and the ambient temperature is below 5 °F (-15 °C). However, the convertible top can be closed when the ambient temperature is below 5 °F (-15 °C). Convertible top: no operation possible. Ambient temperature too low. 68.0°F 631_037 This message is displayed if a DTC fault code is present which prevents the operation of the top.

The arrow tip is pointing forward. When an automatic top operating cycle is in progress (the vehicle is moving), an "A" is displayed at the start of the arrow. 68.0°F 631_040 21 Convertible top closing The convertible top is lifted out of the convertible top box and, at the same time, the convertible top flap covers on the left and right are opened mechanically by Bowden cables. 631_028 The catch hook moves upwards (1) and the top continues to close until it is in proximity to the windscreen frame. The catch hook closes (2), pulling the top onto the windshield frame, and locks the top in place. 631_029 Display in the Audi virtual cockpit An audible signal as well as a display indicate that the top operating cycle is complete and the top is fully closed. 68.0°F 631_034 22 Operating the convertible top with the car key via the lock cylinder on the driver's door The convertible top can be opened or closed via the driver's door locking cylinder. This can be done using the integrated emergency key or the so-called wallet key. Opening To open the convertible top, the following conditions must be met: • The vehicle must not be moving. • The battery must have sufficient voltage. • The ambient temperature must be above 5 °F (-15 °C). To open the convertible top, first unlock the vehicle with the car key. Then insert the car key into the lock cylinder on the driver's door and turn it in the "open" direction (1). If the car key is now turned in the "open" direction again within 2 seconds and held in this position (2.), the convertible top operating cycle will start. The car key must be kept held in the "open" position while the convertible top operating cycle is in progress. When the car key is released, the convertible top operating cycle stops instantaneously. To resume the convertible top opening cycle, the car key must again be turned in the "open" direction and held in this position. If the car key is turned in the "close" direction and held in this position, the convertible top will close again. Turn key again within 2 seconds 631_042 Closing To close the convertible top, the following conditions must be met: • The vehicle must not be moving. • The battery must have sufficient voltage. Insert the car key into the lock cylinder on the driver's door and turn it in the "close" direction (1). If the car key is now turned in the "close" direction again within 2 seconds and held in this position (2), the convertible top operating cycle will start. The car key must be kept held in the "close" position while the convertible top operating cycle is in progress. When the car key is released, the convertible top operating cycle stops instantaneously. To resume the convertible top operating cycle, the car key must again be turned in the "close" direction and held in this position. If the car key is turned in the "open" direction and held in this position, the convertible top will open again. Turn key again within 2 seconds 631_041 Note When actuating a top opening or closing cycle using the vehicle key, there may be a delay between key movement and the top beginning to move. 23 Operating the convertible top while driving The top can be opened while the vehicle is moving up to a speed of 31 mph (50 km/h). If the vehicle speed rises to 34 mph (55 km/h) while a top operating cycle is in progress, the cycle will normally stop and the driver is alerted by audible and visual warnings. There are exceptions to this. 631_058 Convertible top operating cycle at high speed If the vehicle speed rises to 34 mph (55 km/h) while a top operating cycle is in progress, the top behaves differently when opening or closing. Convertible top: no operation possible. Speed too high. Convertible top: not in limit position. Speed too high. 68.0°F 68.0°F 631_038 631_038 Opening Closing If the top is opening and the vehicle speed increases to 34 mph (55 km/h) or higher, the operating cycle is not interrupted. The top opens fully. If the top is closing and the vehicle speed increases to 34 mph (55 km/h) the operating cycle is interrupted. The top stops in its current position. The operating cycle cannot be restarted until the vehicle speed drops to below 31 (50 km/h). 24 Wind deflector The wind deflector reduces air turbulence in the passenger compartment and thus enhances ride comfort. It can be manually retracted and extended (by continuously pushing or pulling the switch) and retracted in automatic mode (by briefly touching the switch). 631_010 Operation The wind deflector is controlled by the Convertible Wind Deflector Switch. It can only be extended or retracted if the convertible top is fully open. If the wind deflector is extended when the top is closed, it will automatically retract. This allows “one touch” operation with the Power Top Operation Switch when closing the top. 631_012 Power Top Operation Switch Convertible Wind Deflector Switch 25 Emergency operation of convertible top In the event of a malfunction, the convertible top can be closed manually. Closing the convertible top During all stages of the emergency closing DO NOT reach into the top linkage or other moving parts. There is a risk of severe injury. When ever possible, the emergency closing procedure should be done by two people. Conditions: • The parking brake must be applied. • All side windows are lowered. • The function is deactivated. Tools required All tools necessary to perform the emergency closing procedure are located in the vehicle tool kit. 631_014 1. Separate push rod from ball head in direction of arrow 631_015 2.

(head-thorax airbag) • Knee airbag, driver and front passenger sides. • Front airbag crash sensors. • Front crash sensors for side crash detection. (pressure sensors) • Rear crash sensor for side crash detection. (acceleration sensor) • Front inertia-reel seat belts with pyrotechnic belt pretensioners. • Front inertia-reel seat belts with active belt force limiters. • Seat belt warning for all seats. • Seat belt switches on all seats in the seat belt buckles. • Seat occupancy sensor in front passenger seat. • Airbag disabling switch, front passenger side. • Front passenger airbag OFF and ON warning lamps. • Driver and front passenger seat position sensors. • Battery interrupter. Side airbags (head-thorax airbags) The side airbags are configured as head-thorax airbags. The head-thorax airbags are designed to help protect not only the body, but also the head of the front occupants. By integrating the side airbags in the front seat backs, the airbags are positioned in proximity to the front occupants irrespective of the seat position. Rollover protection system The Audi TT Roadster comes equipped with rigid rollover bars behind the rear seats. 28 Knee airbag Front passenger airbag Knee airbag Side airbag (head-thorax airbag) Side airbag (head-thorax airbag) 631_071 29 Engine and power transmission Engine 6-speed quattro doubleclutch transmission S tronic Rear axle drive 5th generation Haldex coupling 30 2.0l TFSI engine (CHHC) 169 kW Chassis 631_092 The chassis of the Audi TT Roadster is based on that of the Audi TT Coupe. To meet requirements with regard to static and dynamic body rigidity, special diagonal struts have been integrated into the front and rear axles). In addition, the rear axle sub-frame is rigidly bolted to the body in quattro models. For visual differentiation, the TT Roadster comes with a wider range of wheels than the TT Coupe. Diagonal struts 631_091 31 Seat belt microphone Designation Seat Belt Microphone Control Module Equipment Installation location Under the center console Function Select the best microphone signal and relay the signals to Information Electronics Control Module 1 Address Word A6 – microphone control unit Data bus communication Infotainment CAN bus user Seat Belt Microphone Control Module 631_083 For optimal speech communication quality, the Audi TT Roadster is equipped with three microphones. One microphone is located in the overhead module, and one microphone in each of the front seat belts. Three microphone capsules are integrated in each seat belt. Seat Belt Microphone Control Module always selects the best microphone signal and relays it via discreet wiring to the Information Electronics Control Module. The Seat Belt Microphone Control Module receives information via the CAN buses to determine whether the driver or front passenger seat belt is inserted into the buckle and whether the front passenger airbag has been deactivated using the key switch. The CAN connection is also used for diagnostics. The information received by the Seat Belt Microphone Control Module can result in the following scenarios (refer to table): Driver's seat belt buckle • Seat belt "inserted" into buckle = seat belt microphone active. • Seat belt "not inserted" into buckle = microphone in overhead microphone active. Front passenger's seat belt buckle • Seat belt "inserted" into buckle and front passenger airbag active = driver and front passenger microphone active / signal selection (best signal) through both seat belt microphones. • Seat belt "inserted" into buckle and front passenger airbag deactivated = only with active driver's seat belt microphone (interpretation: child seat). • Seat belt "not inserted" into buckle = only driver microphone active. 32 Climate control Introduction The climate control system of the Audi TT Roadster is based on that of the Audi TT Coupe.
