Engine oil consumption
The engine in your vehicle depends on an ade
quate amount of oil to lubricate and cool all of
its moving parts .
In order to provide effective lubr ication and cool
ing of internal engine components, a ll inter nal
202
combust ion engines consume a certa in amo unt
of oil. Oil consumption varies from engine to en
gine and may change signi ficantly over the life of
the engine. Typically, engines w ith a specified
break-in period (see
c:::;, page 66) consume more
o il dur ing the break-in per iod than they consume
af ter o il consumption has stab ilized .
Under normal cond itions, the rate of oil con
sumption depends on the quality and viscos ity of
the oil, the RPM (revo lutions per m inute) at
wh ich the engine is operated, the amb ient tem
perature and road condit ions. Furt her facto rs a re
the amo unt of o il di lution from wate r condensa
t ion or fue l resid ue an d the oxidation level of the
o il. As any engine is sub je ct to wear as mileage
builds up, the oi l cons umption may increase ove r
time unt il replacement of worn components may
become necessary.
With a ll these va riab les coming into p lay, no
standard rate of oil consumption can be estab
li shed or spec ified. The re is no alte rnative to reg
ul ar and freq uent checking of the oi l level, see
Note .
If the yellow engine oi l level warning symbo l in
the instr ument cluster
El lights up, yo u should
check the o il level as soon as possible

(D Note
Drivi ng w it h an insuff ic ient oil level is likely to
cause severe damage to the eng ine.
(D Tips
- The oil pressure warn ing d isplay. is not
an indicator of the oil level. Do not rely on
it. Instead, check the oil level in your en
gine at regular intervals, preferably each
time you refuel, and alway s before going
on a long trip .

Tire pressure monitoring system
Applies to: vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring System in
dicator
The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too low
or if there is a system malfunction .
Fig. 192 Instrument clus ter : indicator ligh t w ith message
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure monitor
ing system compares the tire tread circumfer
ence and vib ration characteristics of the individu
al tires.
If the pressure changes in one or more
tires, this is indicated in the instrument cluster
display with an indicator light
RE and a message.
If only one tire is affected, the location of that
tire will be indicated.
The tire pressures must be stored in the Infotain
ment system again each time the pressures
change (switching between partial and full load pressure) or after changing or replacing a tire on
your vehicle ¢
page 230 . The tire pressure moni
toring system only monitors the tire pressure you have stored. Refer to the tire pressure label for
the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle
¢page 220, fig.191 .
Tire tread circumference and v ibration character
istics can change and cause a tire pressure warn
ing if:
- the tire pressure in one or more tires is too low.
- the tire has structural damage.
- the tire was replaced or the tire pressure was
changed and it was not stored

Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authori zed Audi dealer replace burned out
bulbs for you.
It
is becoming increasingly more and more diffi
cult to replace vehicle light bulbs since in many
cases, other parts
of the car must first be re
moved before you are able to get to the bulb.
This applies especially to the light bulbs in the
front of your car which you can only reach
through the eng ine compartment.
Sheet metal and bulb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, and parts must be correctly taken apart and then properly
put back together to help prevent breakage of
parts and long term damage from water that can
enter housings that have not been properly re
sealed.
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your author ized Audi dealer replace any bulbs for
you, since your dealer has the proper tools, the
correct bulbs and the expertise .
Gas discharge lamps (Xenon lights):
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the bulbs
replaced by a qualified technic ian . Headlights
with Xenon light can be identified by the high
voltage sticker.
LED headlights*
LED headlights require no maintenance. Please
contact your authorized Audi dealer if a bulb needs to be replaced.
A WARNING
Contact w ith high-voltage components of the
electrical system and improper replacement
of gas d ischarge (Xenon) headlight bulbs can
cause se rious personal injury and death.
- Xenon bulbs are pressurized and can ex
plode when be ing changed .
- Chang ing Xenon lamps requires the spec ial
training, instructions and equipment .
248
-Only an authorized Audi dealer or other
qualified workshop should change the bu lbs
in gas discharge lamps.
A WARNING
There are parts with sharp edges on the open
ings and on the bulb holders that can cause
serious cuts .
- If you are uncertain about what to do, have
the work performed by an authorized Audi
dealer or other qualified workshop . Ser ious
personal injury may result from improperly
performed work.
(D Tips
- If you still prefer to replace the light bulbs
yourself, be aware that the engine compart
ment is a hazardous area to work in
~page 198~.&.
- It
is best to ask your authorized Audi dealer
whenever you need to change a bulb.
