G) Tips
— The media drives do not support the Win-
dows Media Audio 9 Voice format.
— For compressing MP3 files, AUDI AG recom-
mends a bit rate of at least 160 kbit/s. The
display showing the remaining play time
may differ for audio files with variable bit
rate.
not always display, depending on the sys-
tem language.
— The manufacturer of the storage device can
provide information about its “USB Device
Subclass”.
— Some MTP player functions are not support-
ed, such as rating music tracks and video
playback.
— Special characters (such as those in ID3 tag
information) may display differently or may
Troubleshooting
The information that follows lists some trouble-
shooting options. They depend on the equip-
ment.
Problem Solution
Audi music interface/Bluetooth
audio player: the mobile device is
not supported.
Read the instructions in the chapter > page 184, Multimedia
connections/=> page 182, Bluetooth audio player. You can learn
about supported mobile devices in the Audi database for mobile
devices at www.audiusa.com/bluetooth.
Audi music interface: The portable
device is not recognized as a
source.
For many mobile phones or mobile devices, playback is not possi-
ble when the battery level is too low (less than 5% charge level).
The mobile device will only be recognized as a media source in
the MMI after connecting if the battery charge level is sufficient.
Audi music interface: Problems
with playback from iPod/iPhone.
The Bluetooth audio player function is switched on. Switch this
function off > page 196 when you are not using the Bluetooth
audio player.
Audi music interface: Audio play-
back using the connected mobile
device is not possible.
Make sure the USB mode M7P is selected in the settings on your
mobile device.
Bluetooth audio player: interfer-
ence with track display and audio
playback.
Playback interference can occur when using the Bluetooth audio
player if a music player app from a third party provider is open.
AUDI AG recommends using the integrated media player on your
Bluetooth device (such as a smartphone).
Online media: connection failed
between the MMI and the myAudi
app.
To establish a connection to the MMI, the MMI connection switch
must be switched on in the myAudi app status screen.

by the tire manufacturer. This in-
formation is used to contact con-
sumers if a tire defect requires a
recall.
Vehicle capacity weight
means the rated cargo and lug-
gage load plus 150 lbs. (68 kilo-
grams) times the vehicle's desig-
nated seating capacity.
Vehicle maximum load on the
tire
means that load on an individual
tire that is determined by distrib-
uting to each axle its share of the
maximum loaded vehicle weight
and dividing by two.
Vehicle normal load on the tire
means that load on an individual
tire that is determined by distrib-
uting to each axle its share of the
curb weight, accessory weight,
and normal occupant weight (dis-
tributed in accordance with > ta-
ble on page 228) and dividing by
two.
Occupant loading and distri-
bution for vehicle normal load
for various designated seating
capacities
Refer to the tire inflation pressure
label > page 226, fig. 152 for the
number of seating positions. Re-
fer to the table > table on
page 228 for the number of peo-
ple that correspond to the vehicle
normal load.
New tires or wheels
Audi recommends having all work
on tires or wheels performed by
an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility.
These facilities have the proper
knowledge and are equipped with
the required tools and replace-
ment parts.
>New tires do not yet have the
optimum gripping properties.
Drive carefully and at moderate
speeds for the first 350 miles
(500 km) with new tires.
> Only use tires with the same de-
sign, size (rolling circumfer-
ence), and as close to the same
tread pattern as possible on all
four wheels.
>Do not replace tires individually.
At least replace both tires on the
same axle at the same time.
> Audi recommends that you use
Audi Original Tires. If you would
like to use different tires, please
note that the tires may perform >

ignation on the tire pressure label

AN WARNING
Please note the important safe-
ty precautions regarding tire
pressure > page 226 and load
limits > page 228.
Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of
load or weight that any vehicle
and any tire can carry. A vehicle
that is overloaded will not handle
well and is more difficult to stop.
Overloading can not only lead to
loss of vehicle control, but can al-
so damage important parts of the
vehicle and can lead to sudden
tire failure, including a blowout
228
@) Two people in the front, one person in the rear
and sudden deflation that can
cause the vehicle to crash.
Your safety and that of your pas-
sengers also depends on making
sure that load limits are not ex-
ceeded. Vehicle load includes ev-
erybody and everything in and on
the vehicle. These load limits are
technically referred to as the vehi-
cle’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(“GVWR”).
The “GVWR” includes the weight
of the basic vehicle, all factory in-
stalled accessories, a full tank of
fuel, oil, coolant and other fluids
plus maximum load. The maxi-
mum load includes the number of >

You can find detailed information in your Warran-

Emissions Booklet*.
Audi Literature Shop
Service information is available as soon as possi-
ble after a model is introduced and can be or-
dered in the Audi Literature Shop: http://
literature.audiusa.com
Driving in other
countries
Government regulations in the United States and
Canada require motor vehicles to comply with
emissions regulations and safety standards.
Therefore, vehicles that were produced for the
U.S. and Canadian markets are different from ve-
hicles produced for other countries.
If you plan to use your vehicle outside of the
United States or Canada, it is possible that:
— Fuel may have a significantly lower octane rat-
ing. Unsuitable fuels can cause engine damage.
— Proper maintenance and repair work may not
be possible because special service equipment,
tools, or measuring devices needed for your ve-
hicle may not be available.
258
— Replacement parts may not always be availa-
ble.
— Navigation systems for vehicles built for the
U.S.A. and Canada will not necessarily work in
Europe, and may not work in other countries.
() Note
Audi is not liable for damage to the vehicle re-
sulting from these country-specific differen-
ces.
Maintenance, repairs,
and technical modifi-
cations
Note the safety precautions > page 203, General
information and > page 243, Raising the vehicle.
General information
Due to the increasing complexity of technology in
these vehicles, as well as the safety and environ-
mental standards that apply, you can only per-
form a very limited amount of repairs and modifi-
cations to the vehicle yourself.
Proof of maintenance work may be required to
submit a claim within the warranty period.
We recommend that you have your vehicle serv-
iced by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility and that Audi Genuine Parts
and Audi Genuine Accessories are used. This
helps to ensure that your vehicle's functionality,
performance, and safety are not impaired.
Maintenance and repairs
Your vehicle was designed to help keep mainte-
nance requirements to a minimum. Some regular
maintenance is required to help ensure that your
vehicle runs in a safe, economical, and reliable
manner. Please refer to your Warranty & Mainte-
nance Booklet for more detailed information
about vehicle maintenance.
When operating the vehicle under more extreme
operating conditions, for example when outside
temperatures are very low or in very dusty envi-
ronments, certain maintenance should be per-
formed between the specified intervals.
