Driving
If you anticipate what you need to do next and
drive economically, you can easily cut your fuel
consumption by 10-15 percent. This section will
give you some tips on how you can help the envi­ ronment and your pocketbook.
(D Tips
The consumption estimates as published by ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
(EPA) and Transport Canada may not corre­
spond to your actual consumption on the
road, which will vary depending upon vehicle
load and speed, road and weather conditions,
trip length, etc.
Drive smoothly and keep a lookout ahead
Vehicles use the most fuel when they are acceler­
ating.
.. Avoid unnecessary accelerating and braking .
Vehicles use the most fuel when they are acceler­
ating. If you anticipate what is going to happen next, you will need to brake less and, thus, accel­
erate less. Let the vehicle coast whenever possi ­
ble -for example when you see that the next traf­
fic light is red.
Avoid full throttle
Driving at moderate speeds saves fuel and im­
proves your mileage.
.. Try and keep well below your car's maximum
speed .
Accelerating gently reduces fuel consumption,
engine wear, and does not disturb the environ­ ment.
Fuel consumption, exhaust emissions and engine
noise increase disproportionately at high speeds.
If you drive at approximately three quarters of
top speed, fuel consumption will be reduced by
one half . Never drive faster than the posted
speed limit and weather conditions permit.
78
· Reducing unnecessary idling
Even when your car is just idling it burns up fuel .
.. Shut the engine off when you are not driving
the vehicle .
.,. Do not warm up the vehicle by letting the en-
gine run at idle .
It is efficient to switch off the engine when stop­
ped at railroad crossings and long red lights.
Turning the engine off for just 30 -40 seconds
saves more fuel than is burned by starting the
engine again .
It takes a long time for the engine to warm up
fully when it is running at idle . However, wear
and noxious emissions are especially high when
the engine is warming up . So you should drive
away as soon as you start the engine and avoid running at high rpms while the engine is still
warming up .
@ Note
Do not leave engine idling unattended after
starting. If warning lights should come on to
indicate improper operation, they would go
unheeded. Extended idling also produces
heat, which could result in overheating or
other damage to the vehicle or other proper­
ty.
Regular maintenance
A badly tuned engine unnecessarily wastes a lot
of fuel.
.. Have your vehicle serviced at regular intervals.
By having your vehicle regularly serviced by an
Audi dealer helps to ensure that it runs properly
and economically. The condition of your vehicle
not only affects its safety and ability to hold its
value, it also affects
fuel consumption.
Check your oil each time you fill your tank.
The amount of oil used is related to engine load
and speed.
It is normal for the oil consumption of a new en­
gine to reach its lowest value after a certain mile -
age has been driven . ..,.

You must drive your vehicle about 3,000 miles
(5 ,000 kilomet ers) before you can prop erly as ­
sess o il consumption .
This a lso applies to fuel consump tion and engine
output .
(D Note
-Have your vehicle mainta ined properly and
i n accor dance wi th the service re commenda­
tions in yo ur War ranty
& Maintenance book ­
l et. Lack of proper maintenance as well as
i mproper use of the vehicle will impair the
function of the emission control system and
could lead to damage .
- Do not alter or remove any component of
the Em ission Control System unless ap­
proved by the manufacturer.
- Do not alter or remove any device, such as
heat shie lds, sw itches, ignition wires,
valves, which a re designed to protect yo ur
vehicle's Em ission Control System and other
i mportant vehicle components.
Fewer short trips
Fuel consumption will always be relatively high
on short trips.
• Try to avoid driving short dist ances with a cold
engi ne .
T he eng ine and catalytic converter have to reach
their optimal
operating tempe rature to reduce
fuel consump tion and noxious emissions effec­
tively .
Just after starting, a cold engine in a mid-si ze car
only achieves a fuel economy of 6-8 miles per
ga llon (30-40 l/100 km). A fter about a half a
m ile , fuel economy cl imbs to 12 mpg (20 l/
100 km) . After about
2.5 miles (4 km), the en­
g ine is a t its prope r operating temperature and
fuel economy has reache d a normal level. So you
c a n see t hat you s hou ld avoid sho rt t rips whenev­
er possib le .
The
outside temperature is also cr itical in th is re­
g ar d. Yo ur car c onsumes mo re fuel in the w in ter
than in the s umme r.

(D Tips
The values given are based on the latest con­
sumption values.
Plug-in hybrid mode
Applies to vehicles: with plug- in hybrid drive
You can select between one electric mode and
three hybrid modes.
dV Electric mode (EV mode)
EV mode is electric driving only.
EV mode is active at the beginning of every drive
depending on the operating status. The LED in
the
!<=I'! button turns on. The. indicator light al­
so turns on in the instr ument cluster display. The
gasoline engine stays switched off as long as the
battery charge level and climate conditions allow
it .
You can drive with only electric power at speeds
up to approximately 80 mph (130 km/h).
Hybrid modes
The electric motor and the gasoline engine work
efficiently together in every hybrid mode.
OQ!t Hybrid: the battery charge is used as much as
possible when this mode is switched on. This
mode is best suited for long distances.
O\Q!J Hold battery: the high-voltage battery charge
level is conserved as much as possible.
•& Charge battery: the high-voltage battery will
charge if the charge level permits it. This causes
an increase in fuel consumption.
@ Tips
-Applies to "Hold battery" and "Charge bat­
tery": the battery charge level can also de­
crease depending on the driving style.
- If you select the sport driving mode S when
in EV mode, the Hold battery mode is auto­
matically selected. You can select the EV
e-tron
mode again with the 1.:.1•! button
r:!;> page 104.
- if the la• I r:!;> page 104 button is pressed
while in sport driving mode S, the transmis­
sion switches automatically to normal mode
0.
Conditions for electric driving
Applies to vehicles: wit h plug-in hybrid drive
The EV mode can only be switched on if the fol­
lowing conditions are met:
- The cha rge level of the high-voltage battery
must be suff icient.
- The temperatu re of the high-voltage battery
must be adequate (outside temperatures not
below approximately 14°F / -10°C and not
above 104°F / 40°C)
- The speed must not be higher than approxi-
mately 80 mph (130 km/h).
- Kick-down must not be activated.
- The sport drive mode
S must not be selected.
EV mode is switched off if one or more of the
conditions are not met. The gasoline engine will
start automatically. The
E] ind icator light turns
on as a message in the instrument cluster. The
LED in the
l d• I button and the B indicator light
turn off.
Electric drive mode will not continue automati­
cally. Reactivate the EV mode
r:!;> page 104.
(D Tips
It may be necessary for the gasoline engine to
run longer for technical reasons, such as
when condensation accumulates in the en­
gine. Driving exclusively in electric mode is
not possible in this phase.

e-tron
Setting plug-in hybrid drive modes
Applies to vehicles: w ith p lug -in hybrid drive
Fig. 90 Center console : but ton &
You can change modes when the vehicle is sta­
tionary or while driving. If the vehicle operating
conditions will not allow you to set the mode manually, the last active mode is se lected .
.,. Press the
laV I button repeatedly until the de­
sired mode is displayed in the instrument clus­
ter . Or :
.,. Select the mode in the MMI
n: press the
I MENU I function button> Car > Systems con­
trol button >
e-tron mode and select the de­
s ir ed mode .
The active mode is displayed the first time the
14 "1
button is pressed .
Plug-in hybrid functions
Applies to veh icles: with p lug -in hybrid drive
The functions described below activate automati­
cally depending on the driving style.
Full acceleration (boost)
The boost funct ion is act ivated by pressing the
accelerator pedal farther down (kick-down). The
l) Not availa ble in a ll Info ta inm en t sy ste m s.
104
vehicle is powered by both the gasoline eng ine
and the e lectric motor when in fu ll acce leration.
Boost is only ava ilable for a short time because it
uses a large amount of energy. Availability de ­
pends on the high-voltage battery charge level.
Coasting
The gasoline engine switches off and disengages
at speeds up to approximate ly 112 mph
(180 km/h) if the acce lerator pedal is not press­
ed and the D position is selected. Driving conser­
vatively like this can reduce fuel consumption .
Energy recovery (recuperation)
When braking, the electric motor will act as a
generator creating electric energy that is then
stored in the high-voltage battery . This also oc­
curs when the vehicle is coasting or driving down­
hill.
If the brakes are applied early and evenly, the electric motor w ill brake the vehicle @
¢page 101 , fig. 88. By doing this , a large
amount of the kinetic energy is recovered and
may be stored as e lectric energy in the high -volt ­
age battery . The conventional brakes are also ac­
tivated when the brakes are pressed very hard.
The strength of recuperation can depend on the
following factors:
- If you are in tiptronic mode
Q page 94 . Or
- If the sport driving mode 5 was selected.
The ene rgy recovery is shown in the energy flow
i ndica tor in the in str ument cluster display
¢page 106 .

Using the proper engine oil is important for the
functionality and service life of the engine. Your
engine was factory-filled with a high -quality oil
which can usually be used throughout the entire
yea r.
Note
Your Limited New Vehicle Warranty does not
cover damage or malfunctions d ue to failure
to follow rec ommended maintenance and use
requireme nts as s et forth in the Audi Owner's
Manual and Warranty & Maintenance booklet.
- Use only a high quality engine oi l that ex-
pressly complies with the Au di oil quality
standard specified for your vehicle's engine.
Using any o ther oil can cause serious engine
damage.
- Do not mix any lubricants o r other additives
into the engine oil. Doing so can cause en­
gine damage.
@ Tips
If you need to add oil and there is none availa­
ble that meets the Audi o il quality standard
your eng ine requ ires, you may add a total of
no more than 0 .5 quart/li ter of a h igh-quality
"synthet ic"oil that meets the following speci ­
fications.
- Vehicles with gasoline eng ine: ACEA A3 o r
API SM with a viscosity grade of SAE OW-30,
SAE SW-30 or SAE SW-40.
- Vehicles with diesel eng ine: ACEA C3 or
API CF with a viscosity grade of SAE OW-30
or SAE SW -30.
- For more information about engine oil that
has been approved for your vehicle, please

www.audiusa.com or www.aud icanada.ca.
Engine oil consumption
The engine in your vehicle depends on an ode-
;::: quote amount of oil to lubricate and cool all of
~ its moving parts . co ,....,
~ In order to provide effective lubr ication and cool-,....,
:=: ing of internal engine components, all internal
Ch eck ing and Filling
combustion engines consume a certain amo unt
of oil. Oil consumption varies from engine to en­
gine and may change s ignificantly over the life of
the engine. Typ ically, engines w ith a specified
break-in period (see¢
page 77) consume more
o il during the break-in per iod than they consume
after o il consumption has stab il ized.
Under normal cond itions, the rate of oil con ­
sumption depends on the quality and viscos ity of
the oil, the RPM (revolutions per minute) at
wh ich the engine is operated, the amb ient tem­
perature and road co ndit ions. Further facto rs a re
the amount of oi l di lution from wate r condensa­
tion or fuel resid ue and the oxidat ion level of the
o il. As any engine is subject to wear as mileage
builds up, the oil consumption may increase over
time unti l replacement of worn components may
become necessary.
With a ll these variab les coming into play, no
standard rate of oil consumption can be estab ­
li shed or specified. There is no alternative to reg­
u lar and frequent checking of the oi l level, see
Note .
If the yellow engine oil leve l warning symbo l l!I
in the instrument cluster lights up, you should
check the oi l level as soon as possible
¢
page 242. Top off the o il at your earliest con­
venience ¢
page 242.
A WARNING
-Before you check anyt hing in the engine com-
partment, always read and heed all WARN­
INGS
¢page 236.
(D Note
Driving wit h an insufficient oil level is likely to
cause severe damage to the eng ine.
(D Tips
- The oil pressu re wa rning display. is not
an indicator of the oi l le vel. Do not rely on
i t. In stead , check th e oil level in your en­
gine at regular intervals, preferably each
time you refuel, and alway s before goi ng
on a long trip .
241

Checking and Filling
-If you have the impression your engine con ­
sumes excessive amounts of oil, we recom­
mend that you consult an authorized Aud i
dealer to have the cause of your concern
properly diagnosed. Keep in mind that the
accurate measurement of oil consumpt ion
requires great care and may take some
time. An authorized Audi dealer has instruc­
tions about how to measure oil consump­
tion acc urately.
Checking the engine oil level
Fig . 19 5 Gasol ine eng ine oil dipstick: guide for measuring
the oil level (example)
Fig . 1 96 Diesel engine oil dipstick: guide for meas uring the
oil level (example)
Read and follow the W ARN INGS before check­
i n g anyth ing in the eng ine compartmen t
¢ page 236, Working in the engine compart­
ment.
Determining the oil level
• Park your vehicle on a level surface .
• Let the engine run in id le br iefly whi le it is at
operating temperature and the n shut the e n­
gine off .
• Wai t approx imately two m inutes .
242
• Remove the oil dipstick. Wipe off the oil dip­
stick with a clean cloth and insert it all the way
in aga in .
• Remove the dipstick again and then read the o il
level
¢ fig. 195 or ¢fig. 196.
• Evaluate the oil level¢ table on page 242. Add
eng ine oi l if necessary ¢
page 242.
~ You must add oi l. After adding oil, the level
shou ld be in the

0 Do not add any oil. Drive to an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa-
cility immediately.
Applies to vehicles with a d iesel eng ine: fuel can
get into the engine o il if you run your vehicle with
biodiesel. This raises the o il level in the eng ine. It
also decreases the quality of the engine oil
¢page 24.
The oil consumption o f the engine may be up to
1/2 qua rt per 600 miles (0.5 l ite r per 1,000 km),
depending on d riving style and cond itions. Con­
sumption may be highe r during the firs t
3,000 miles (5,000 km) . Bec ause of this, the en­
gine o il level must be checked regularly.
It would
be best to check each time you refuel your veh icle
and before long drives .

Tires and wheels
A WARNING
Always adapt the tire pressure
to your driving style and vehicle load.
-Overloading can lead to loss of vehicle control and increase
the risk of an accident. Read and follow the important safe­
ty precautions inc:::> page 266,
Tires and vehicle load limits.
-The tire must flex more if the
tire pressure is too low or if
the vehicle speed or load are
too high. This heats the tire up
too much. This increases the
risk of an accident because it
can cause the tire to burst and
result in loss of vehicle con­
trol.
-Incorrect tire pressure in­ creases tire wear and has a
Tire pressure table
Please note that the information
contained in the following table
was correct at the time of print­ ing, and the information is sub­
ject to change . If there are differ­
ences between this information
and the tire pressures specified
on the label on the driver's side 8- pillar, always follow the specifica-
264
negative effect on driving and
braking behavior, which in­
creases the risk of an accident.
(D Note
Replace lost valve caps to re­
duce the risk of damage to the
tire valves.
@ For the sake of the environment
Tire pressure that is too low in­
creases fuel consumption.
(D Tips
Audi recommends using the
tire pressure specified for a normal load c:::>
