238 Check ing and filling
• Let the engine coo l down .
• Place a thick rag over the coolant expansion
tank
¢ page 237, fig . 204 and care full y
twist the cap counter-clockwise¢ _&..
• Add coolant mixed in the correct ratio
¢
page 236, Coolant up to the MAX mark­
i ng.
• Make sure that the fluid level rema ins sta-
ble. Add more coolant if necessary.
• Twist the cap on again
tightly.
Replacement engine coolant must conform to
exact specifications ¢
page 236, Coolant.
We recommend using only coolant additive
G12++, G13 or in an emergency G12+ . Do not
use a different additive . In an emergency use
p la in water unt il you can get the correct add i­
tive and can restore the correct ratio. This
should be done as soon as possible .
If you have lost a considerable amount of
coolant, then you should add co ld antifreeze
and cold water only when the engine is co ld.
Always use
new eng ine coolant when refilling .
Do not fi ll coolant above the "MAX" mark. Ex­
cess coolant will be forced out through the pressure relief valve in the cap when the en­
g ine becomes hot .
A WARNING
- T he coo ling system is under p ressure and
can get very hot. Reduce the risk of
scalding from ho t coolant by following
these steps.
-Turn off the eng ine and a llow it to cool
down.
- Protect your face, hands and arms from escaping flu id and steam by cover ing
the cap with a large, thick rag.
- T urn the cap slowly and very carefully
in a counter-clockwise d irect ion while
apply ing light, downward pressure on
the top of the cap.
- To avo id being burned, do not sp ill an­
tifreeze or coolant on the exhaust sys­
tem or hot engine parts . Under certa in cond
it ions, the ethylene g lycol in en­
gine coolant can catch fire.
- Antifreeze is poisonous . A lways store an­
tifreeze in its origina l container and well
out of the reach of children.
- If you dra in the coo lant, it must be
caught and safely stored in a proper con­
tainer clearly marked "po ison".
@ Note
- Do not add coolant if the expansion tank
is empty. Air co uld enter the cooling sys­
tem and damage the engine. If this is
the case, do not cont inue driving. Seek
professional assistance .
- Coo lant pollutes the environment and
cou ld cause an engine f ire. Excess cool­
ant will be forced out through the pres­
sure relief valve in the cap when the en­
gine becomes hot.
- If, in an eme rgency, only wate r can be
added, the co rrect ratio between water
and antifreeze ¢
page 236 must be re­
stored as soon as possible.
@ For the sake of the environment
D rained coolant should not be reused . Al­
ways d ispose of used coolant while observ­
i ng all envi ro nmental regula tions.
Radiator fan
The radiator fan switches on automatically by
itself
The rad iator fan is driven by the e ngine via the
V-belt. The viscous clutch regulates the speed of the fan acco rding to the temperatu re of the
coolant.
An auxiliary electric radiato r fan* sw itches on
and off depending on coolant temperature
and ot her vehicle ope rat ing condit io ns.
After you switch the eng ine off, the aux iliary
fan can continue running for up to 10 m inutes
- even w ith the ignition off .
It can even switch
o n aga in later by itself¢.& , if

th e f unct ion of the tire pressure monitor­
ing system*.
- Always inflate tires to the recommended
and correct tire pressure before driving
off.
- Driving with under inflated tires bend
more, letting them get too hot resu lting
in tread separation, sudden t ire failure
and loss of control.
- Excessive speed and/overloading can
cause heat build-up, sudden tire fail ure
and loss of control.
- If the t ire pressure is too low or too high,
the tires w ill wea r prematurely and the
vehicle will not hand le we ll.
- If the t i re is not flat and you do not have
to change a w heel immed iate ly, dr ive at
reduced speed to the nearest serv ice sta­
t ion to check the tire pressure and add
air as requi red.
{Q) Note
Dr iving without va lve stem caps ca n cause
damage to the tire va lves . To preve nt this,
always ma ke s ure t hat facto ry installed
va lve stem caps on all wheels a re secu re ly
mounte d on the va lve.

Tires and vehicle load limits
There are l imits to the amo un t of load or
weight that any vehicle and any tire can carry .
A veh icle that is overloaded w ill not handle
w ell and is more difficult to stop. Overload ing
can not only lead to loss of vehicle contro l,
but c an a lso damage import ant parts of the
ve hicle and can lead to sudden tire failure, in­
cluding a blowout and sudden deflation that
can cause the ve hicle to crash .
Your safety and that of your passengers a lso
depends on making sure that load limits are n ot exceeded. Vehicle load includes everybody
and everyth ing in and on the vehicle . Th ese
Tire s an d wheel s 253
load lim its are technically referred to as the
vehicle's
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
("GVWR").
T he "GVWR" incl udes the weight of the basic
vehicle, a ll factory installed accessories, a f ull
tan k of fuel, oi l, coo lant and other fluids plus
max imum load. The max imum load incl udes
the n umber of passengers t hat the vehicle is
intended to carry ("seat ing capac ity") with an
ass umed we ight of 150 lbs (68 kg) fo r each
passenger at a designated seating posi tion
and the tota l weight of a ny luggage i n the ve­
hicle. If you tow a tra ile r, the we igh t of the
tra iler hi tch and the tongue we igh t of t he
loaded tra iler mus t be included as part of the
vehicle load .
T he
Gro ss Axle Weight Rating (" G AWR ") is
the max imum load th at can be appl ied a t each
of the veh icle's two axles .
T he Gross Vehicle Weight Rat ing and t he
G ross Ax le Weig ht Ra ting are listed on the
sa fe ty comp lian ce sti cke r la bel lo cate d on the
driver's side B-pillar. Yo ur Audi has
5 seat ing
pos itions , 2 in the front and 3 in the rea r for
total seating capacity of 5. Vehicles with pow­ er indiv idual rear seats* have 4 seating posi­
tions, 2 in the front and 2 in the rear for total
seat ing capac ity of 4. Each seating position
has a safety belt
c::> page 143, Safety belts.
T he fact that there is an upper limit to you r
vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating means
that the to tal weight of whatever is being car­
ried in the vehicle ( includ ing t he weight of a
tra ile r hitch a nd the tongue we ight of t he
loaded tra ile r) is lim ited. The more passen­
gers in the vehicle or passe ngers who are
heavier th an the sta ndard we ights assumed
mean tha t less we igh t can be carried as lug­
gage.
T he tire pressure label o n your Aud i also lis ts
the max imum combined weight of all of the
occupants and l uggage or other cargo that
the ve hicle can carry. For the location of the
