CJ) Note
Never use a fast charger as a booster to start
the engine . This will serio us ly damage sensi­
tive electronic components, such as control
un its, relays, radio, etc., as well as the battery
charger .
Battery replacement
The new ba ttery mu st have the same specifica­
tions and dimensions as the original equipmen t
battery .
Intelligent energy management in your vehicle is
responsible for dist ributing the electrical energy
throughout your vehicle¢
page 173. The inte lli­
gent ene rgy ma nagement system wi ll keep the
eng ine batte ry charged better the n ve hicles w ith­
ou t th is system . To make su re the addit io nal
e lec trica l energy is avail ab le on ce again after you
h a ve changed the battery, we recommend t hat
you insta ll batteries o f the same type an d manu­
facture on ly (t he same as those insta lled at the
time your veh icle was delive red). Spec ificat ions
are listed on the battery housing. Your author­
ized Audi dealer must code the battery in the en­
ergy management system to enab le you to use
the energy manageme nt functions correctly after
replacing the battery .
If it is not possible to use a battery of th is type,
the new battery must have the same capacity ,
voltage (12-volts) , ampe rage, construct ion and
p lug sealing.
When insta lling the battery, make sure the igni­
tion and all electrical consumers are tur ned off .
@ Note
Make sure the ventilation hose on the side of
the batte ry is connected, othe rw ise fumes or
battery acid can lea k out.
@ For the sake of the environment
Because of the prob lem of proper disposal of
a battery, we recommend your author ized
Audi dea le r change the battery fo r you. Bat­
t er ies con ta in su lf ur ic ac id a nd lead a nd must
always be disposed of prop erly i n comp lianc e

of veh icle batteries im properly is very danger­
ous to t he environment.

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
negative effect on driving and
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
tion on the 8-pillar label

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
q page 218 or for
a full load when the vehicle is
partially loaded .
Make sure that the tire designa­
tion on your tire matches the des­ ignation on the tire pressure label
and the tire pressure table.
The following table lists recom­
mended tire pressures in cold
tires according to the load and the size of the tires installed.

check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a signifi­
cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over­
heat and can lead to t ire failure. Under-inflation
a lso reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle 's handling and stop ­
p ing ability .
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's re­
sponsib ility to ma intain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to tr igger illum inat ion of the TPMS low tire p res­
sure telltale.
Your veh icle has also bee n eq uipped w ith a TPMS
malfunct ion indicator to indicate when the sys­
tem is not operat ing properly . The TPMS ma l­
function ind icator is combined w ith the low tire
p ressure tellta le. Whe n the system detects a
malfunct ion, the te lltale will flash fo r approx i­
mately one mi nute and then remain continuo usly
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subseq uent veh icle start-ups as long as the ma l­
function ex ists .
When t he malfunction indicator is ill uminated,
the system may not be ab le to detect or signal
l ow tire press ure as intended. TPMS ma lf u nctions
may occur for a var iety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate t ires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly . Always c heck the
TPMS malfunction telltale afte r rep lacing one o r
mo re t ires o r whee ls on your ve hicl e to e nsur e

wheels a llow the TPMS to con tinue to function

indicator appears
Applies to : vehicles wi th Tir e Pressure Monito ring Syste m
Th e tire pressure indicator in th e instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too low
or if there is a system malfunction.
Fi g. 182 Instrument cl uster: indic ator lig ht w ith message
U sing the ABS sensors, the t ire pressure monito r­
i ng system compares the tire tread c ircumfer­
ence and v ibration characterist ics of the ind ividu ­
al tires. If the press ure changes in one or more
t ir es, th is is indicated in the instrument cluster
display with an indica to r li gh t
IE and a message.
If only one tire is affected, the loc ation of tha t
t ir e will be indicated.
T he t ire press ures mus t be stored in the Infota in­

pressure) or afte r changing or replac ing a tire on
