warm  water  and  baking  soda  to  neutralize 
the  acid. 
CD Note 
Never  use  a fast  charger  as  a  booster  to start 
the  engine . This  will serious ly damage  sensiÂ
tive  electronic  components,  such  as  control 
units,  relays,  radio, etc.,  as  well  as  the  battery 
charger. 
Battery  replacement 
T he new  battery  must  have  the same  specificaÂ
t ions and  dimensions  as  the original  equipmen t 
bat tery. 
Int elli g ent  en ergy  managem ent  in your  vehicle  is 
responsible  for  distributing  the  electrical  energy 
throughout  your  vehicle 
r=> page  195. The  intelliÂ
gent  energy  management  system  will  keep  the 
engine  battery  charged  better  than  veh icles  w ithÂ
out  this  system . To make  sure  the  addit ional 
e lectrical  energy  is  avai lab le  once  again  after  you 
have  changed  the  battery, we recommend  that 
you  install  batteries  of the  same  type  and  manu facture  on ly (the  same  as  those installed  at  the 
time  your  vehicle  was  delivered).  Specifications 
are  listed  on  the  battery  housing.  Your  authorÂ
i z ed  dealer  must  code  the  battery  in the  energy 
management  system  to  enable  you to  use  the  enÂ
ergy  management  functions  correctly  after  re Â
placing  the  battery . 
The  new  battery  must  have  the  same  capacity, 
voltage  (12  volts) , amperage,  construction  and 
plug  sealing . 
When  installing  the  battery,  make  sure  the  igniÂ
tion  and  all  electrical  consumers  are  sw itched 
off. 
CD Note 
- Make  sure  the  ventilation  hose  on  the  s ide 
of the  battery  is connected,  otherw ise 
fumes  or  battery  ac id can  leak  out. 
- Vehicles  with  the  Start-Stop-System*  are  equipped  with  a  special  cycle-proof  AGM battery . Installing  a  d ifferent  type  of  batÂ
tery  can  cause  problems  in the  vehicle  elec -
234 
trical  system. When  replacing  the  vehicle 
battery,  always  install  one  with  the  same 
specifications  as  the  original  battery . 
- Battery  mounts  and  clamps  m ust  always  be 
secured  correctly. 
- Read  and  follow  the  warnings  under 
¢ page  231,  Working  on  the  battery before 
performing  any  work  on  the  battery . 
@ For the  sake of  the  environment 
Because  of the  p roblem  of  proper  disposal  of 
a  battery,  we  recommend  your  authorized 
A udi  dealer  change  the  battery  for you . BatÂ
teries  contain  sulfur ic acid  and  lead  and  must 
a lways  be  disposed  of  properly  in  compliance 
with  all  environmental  regulations . Disposing 
of veh icle  batteries  improperly  is very  dangerÂ
ous  to the  environment .

To reduce  the  risk  of  lime  scale  depos its  on  the 
spray  nozzles,  use clean  water  with  low  amounts 
of  calcium.  Always  add  w indow  cleaner  to the  waÂ
ter . When  the  outside  temperat ures  are  cold , an 
anti-freez ing  agent  shou ld be  added  to  the  water 
so  that  it  does  not  freeze.  ..,.

_& WARNING 
Temperature  grades  apply  to  tires  that  are 
properly  inflated  and  not  over  or  underinf lat Â
ed. 
Tire  pressure  monitoring  system 
U) General  notes 
Applies  to:  vehicles with  tire  pressure  monito ring  system 
Each  tire, including  the spare  (if  provided), 
should  be  checked  monthly  when  cold  and  inflatÂ
ed  to  the  inflation  pressure  recommended  by the 
vehicle  manufacturer  on  the  vehicle placard  or 
tire  inflat ion  pressure  label.  (If  your vehicle  has 
tires  of  a different  size  than  the  size  indicated  on 
the  vehicle  placard  or tire  inflation  pressure  laÂ
bel,  you  should  determine  the  proper  tire  inflaÂ
tion  pressure  fo r those  tir es) . 
As an  added  safety  feature,  your  vehicle  has  been 
equipped  with  a t ire  pressure  monitoring  system 
(TPMS) that  illuminates  a  low tire  pressure  tellÂ
tale  when  one  or  more  of your  tires is significantÂ
ly  under-inflated . Accord ingly,  when  the  low tire 
p ressure  telltale  illuminates,  you  should  stop  and 
check  your  tires  as  soon  as  possible,  and  inflate 
them  to  the  proper  pressure.  Driving on  a signifiÂ
cantly  under-inflated  tire  causes the  tire  to  overÂ
heat  and  can  lead to  tire failure.  Under-inflation 
also  reduces  fuel  efficiency  and  tire tread  life, 
and  may  affect  the  vehicle's  handling  and  stopÂ
ping  ability. 
Please  note  that  the TPMS  is  not  a  substitute  for 
proper  tire maintenance,  and  it  is the  driver's  reÂ
sponsib ility to  maintain  correct  tire  pressure, 
even  if under-inflation  has  not  reached  the  level 
to  trigger  illumination  of the  TPMS low tire  presÂ
sure  telltale. 
Your vehicle  has  also  been  equipped  with  a  TPMS 
malfunct ion  indicator  to  indicate when  the  sysÂ
tem  is  not  operating  properly.  The  TPMS malÂ
function  indicator  is comb ined  w ith  the  low tire 
pressure  telltale. When  the  system  detects  a 
malfunction,  the  telltale  will flash  for  approxiÂ
mately  one  minute  and  then  remain  cont inuous ly 
illuminated.  This sequence  will continue  upon 
254 
subsequent  vehicle  start-ups  as  long as  the  malÂ
function  exists. 
When  the malfunction  indicator  is  illum inated, 
the  system  may  not  be  able to  detect  or s ignal 
low  tire  pressure  as  intended . TPMS malfunctions 
may  occur  for  a variety  of  reasons,  including  the 
i nstallation  of  replacement  or  alternate  tires  or 
wheels  on  the vehicle  that  prevent  the TPMS 
from  functioning  properly.  Always  check  the 
TPMS  malfunction  telltale  after  replacing  one  or 
more  tires  or wheels  on your  vehicle  to  ensure 
that  the  replacement  or  alternate  tires  and 
whee ls  allow  the  TPMS to  continue  to  function 
properly. 
If  the  Tire  Pressure Monitoring  System 
indicator  appears 
Applies  to:  vehicles with  tire  pressure  monitoring  system 
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 . 209 Instrument  cl uste r:  indicator  light  with  me ssage 
Using  the  ABS sensors,  the  tire  pressure  monitorÂ
ing  system  compares  the  tire  tread  c ircumferÂ
ence  and  v ibration  characteristics  of  the  individuÂ
al  tires. 
If the  pressure  changes in  one  or  more 
ti res,  this  is ind icated  in the  instrument  cluster 
display  with  an  indicator  light 
[I] and  a  message. 
If  only  one  tire  is affected,  the locat ion of that 
tire  will  be  indicated. 
The  tire pressures  must  be  stored  in  the  InfotainÂ
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  255. The tire pressure  moniÂ
tor ing  system  only  monitors  the  tire pressure  you 
have  stored . Refer  to  the  t ire  pressure  label  for  ..,.
