Important safety instructions on
monitoring the Advanced Airbag System
A WARNING
An airbag system that is not funct ioning prop­
erly cannot provide supplemental p rotection
in a frontal crash .
- If the airbag indicator l ight¢
page 23
comes when the vehicle is be ing used, have
the system inspected immed iate ly by yo ur
au thori zed Au di dealer. It is possible that
the a irbag will in flate when it is not s up­
posed to, or will not inflate when it shou ld .
A WARNING
If the front airbag inflates, a child without a
child restraint, or in a rearward-facing child
safety seat, or in a forward-facing child re­
straint that has not been properly installed
w ill be seriously injured and can be killed.
- Even though your veh icle is equipped with
an Advanced Airbag System, make certain
that all ch ild ren, especially 12 years and
Airbag syste m
younger, always ride on the bac k seat prop­
erly rest rained for the ir age and s ize.
- Always install forward or rea r-facing child
seats on the rea r seat
-even w ith an Ad­
vanced Airbag System.
- If you must install a rea rward-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat because o f
except ional circumstances and the
PASSEN­
GER AIR BAG OFF
light does not appear and
s tay on, immed iate ly ins tall the rea r-facing
child sea t in a rear seat ing pos ition and have
the airbag system inspected by your Audi
deale r.
- A tight tether or other strap on a rearward­
facing ch ild restraint attached to the front
p a ssenger se at c an put too much pressure
on the weight-sensing mat in the seat and
register more weight than is actually on the
seat . The heav ier weight registered can
make the system work as though an adu lt
were on the seat and deploy the Advanced
Airbag when it must be suppressed causing
serio us or even fatal injury to the child .
- If, in exceptional circumstances, you must
install a forward-facing child restraint on
the front passenge r seat, always move the
seat into its rearmost position in the seat 's
fore and aft ad justment range, as far away
from the airbag as poss ible. The back res t
m ust be adjusted to an upr igh t position.
Make sure that the

wheneve r the ignit ion is switched on.

- If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does
not go out when an adult is sitting on the

Engine oil
If the engine oil level is too low
If you need to add engine oil, use an oil that is listed on the sticker.
The sticker is located at the
front of the engine
compartment ~ page 274,
fig.
258.
If the recommended engine oil is not available,
in an emergency you may add a maximum of 1
quart
(I liter) of ACEA C3 or API SN engine oil
one time until the next oil change.
For more information on the correct engine oil
for your vehicle, contact an authorized Audi deal­
er or authorized Audi Service Facility. Have the oil
changed by an authorized Audi dealer or author­ ized Service Facility.
Audi recommends
«;;castrol I /g@@g PrtfTr.:!\.7.Tri,'lAl.
Audi recommends using the Longlife high-per·
formance engine oil from Audi Genuine Parts.
Checking the engine oil level
The engine oil level can be checked in the Info­
tainment system
Observe the safety precautions ~ A in Working
in the engine compartment on page 2 72.
~ Park your vehicle on a level surface.
~ Shut the engine off when it is warm.
~ Switch only the ignition back on.
~ Wait approximately two minutes.
~ Select: the ICARI function button> (Car)* Sys­
tems
control button > Service & control > Oil
level.
~ Read the oil level in the Infotainment system .
Add engine oil if the bar in the oil level indica­
tor is just before
"min"~ page 2 76.
Checking and Filling
@ Note
The engine oil level must not be under the
"min" marking, as this will increase the risk of
engine damage.
(D Tips
The oil level indicator in the display is only an
informational display.
If the oil level is too
low, a minimum oil warning appears in the in­
strument cluster. Add oil and close the hood.
The current oil level is displayed in the Info­
tainment system the next time the ignition is
switched on.
(D Tips
The engine oil consumption may be up to
0.5 quart/600 miles (0 .5 liter/1,000 km), de­
pending on driving style and operating condi­
tions. Consumption may be higher during the
first 3,000 miles (5,000 km). Because of this,
the engine oil level must be checked regular­
ly. It is best to check each time you refuel
your vehicle and before long drives.
- In order to provide effective lubrication and
cooling of internal engine components, all
internal combustion engines consume acer­
tain amount of oil. Oil consumption varies
from engine to engine and may change sig­
nificantly over the life of the engine. Typi­
cally, engines with a specified break-in peri­
od consume more oil during the break-in pe­
riod than they consume after oil consump­
tion has stabilized.
- Under normal conditions, the rate of oil
consumption depends on the quality and
viscosity of the oil, the RPM (revolutions per
minute) at which the engine is operated, the
ambient temperature and road conditions.
Further factors are the amount of oil dilu­
tion from water condensation or fuel resi­
due and the oxidation level of the oil. As any
engine is subject to wear as mileage builds
up, the oil consumption may increase over
time until replacement of worn components
may become necessary.

pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi­
mately one minute and then remain cont inuously

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be ab le to detect or signal

may occur for a var iety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS

Description
Applies to: 58 plus
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors
the pressure in the four tires when driving.
The system uses sensors that measure the tem ­
perature and pressure in the tires . The data is
sent from these sensors to the control module by
radio frequency.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System shows the
current pressures and temperatures of the tires
in the Infota inment system
c:> page 303 . It also
compa res the current tire pressures with the
stored tire press ures and gives a warning in the
driver information system if the tire pressure is
different from what is stored
c:> page 304.
The system does not detect if the stored tire
pressures match the recommended tire pres­
sures.
- Every time the tire pressures change, for exam-
ple when the load in the vehicle changes,
- after replac ing a tire, or
- if wheels with new wheel sensors are used,
you must store the tire pressures again
c:> page 304.
A WARNING
-The tire pressure mon itor ing system assists
the driver in monitoring tire pressures. The
dr iver is responsible for having the tires in­
flated to the correct pressure.
- Do not change the tire pressure when the
temperature of the tire is extremely high.
T his cou ld result in serious damage to the
t ir e and even cause the tire to burst, in­
creasing the risk of an accide nt.
Wheels
-A tire with low pressure flexes more . This
heats the tire up too much. This could cause
the tread to separate and even cause the
tire to burst, increasing the risk of an acci­
dent.
- The Tire Pressure Monitoring System does
not warn you of damage or defects in the
tire construct ion that could cause the tire to
burst, for example. Inspect your tires regu­
larly.
@ For the sake of the environment
Low tire pressure increases fuel consumption
and tire wear.
(D Tips
-The pressure of the spare t ire* is not mon i­
tored.
- If tires are replaced, the sensors/va lves do
not need to be removed or replaced. Just re­
placed the valve stem and, if necessary, the
valve and the whee l electronics . If you have
questions, see an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility.
