• If there was no Ad Blue left in the tank and a
range of
O mi (0 km) was displayed in the
instrument cluster, switch the ignition on
for about 15 seconds before starting the en­ gine.
A WARNING
Ad Blue can irr itate the skin, eyes and res­
piratory system. If there is contact with
the fluid, flush immediately with p lenty of
water. Consult a physician if necessary.
0 Note
- Only use Ad Blue that conforms to the
standard ISO 2224 1-1. Do not mix any
additives with the Ad Blue and do not di­
lute it with water .
- AdBlue is not a diesel additive . Do not
add it to the diesel tank. If Ad Blue is
mixed w ith diesel fuel, it can lead to
damage to the engine and the Ad Blue
tank system. The Limited New Vehicle
Warranty does not cover such damage.
-Ad Blue attacks surfaces such as painted
vehicle components, plastic and carpet .
Remove the fluid as quickly as possible
with a damp cloth and plenty of cold wa­
ter. If the Ad Blue has already crystal­
li zed, use warm water and a sponge .
AdBlue res idue that is not removed will
crystallize and can damage the affected
surface.
- Do not store the refill bottle in the vehi­
cle. If it leaks, the escap ing Ad Blue could
damage the vehicle inter ior.
- Do not allow Ad Blue to come into con­
tact with clothing. If there is contact
with the fluid, flush immediately with
plenty of water.
@ Tips
-You can obtain refill bottles from any au­
thorized Audi dealer or other qualified
workshop.
- Follow the Ad Blue manufacturer's in­
str uctions for usage and storage.

236 Checking and filling
(D Note
Driving with an insufficient oi l level is like­
ly to ca use seve re damage to the eng ine.
@ Tips
- The oil pressure warning display. is
not an indicator of the oil level. Do not
rely on it. Instead , check the oil level in
your engine at regular intervals, pref ­
erably each t ime you refuel, and always
before going on a long trip .
-If you have the impression your engine
consumes excessive amo unts of oi l, we
r ecommend that yo u consult an author ­
i zed Audi dealer to have the cause of
you r concern p rope rly diag nosed. Keep in
mi nd t hat t he ac curat e measure ment of
oi l co nsu mp tion re q uires grea t care and
may ta ke some time. A n author ize d Audi
dea ler has inst ructions about how to
measure oil consum ptio n accurately.

266 Tire s and wheels
When the malfunction indicator is illuminat­
ed, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low t ire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea­
sons, including the installation of replace­
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehi­
cle that prevent the TPMS from funct ioning
properly . Always check the TPMS malfunct ion
tellta le after replacing one or more t ires or
wheels on your veh icle to ensure that the re­
p lacement or a lternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Tire pressure 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.
N
I
Fig. 210 Display: underinflation warning
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure moni­
toring system compares the tire tread circum­
ference and vibration characteristics of the in­
dividual tires. If the pressure decreases in one
or more tires, th is is indicated in the instru­
ment cluster w ith a
IE warning symbol and a
message
¢fig . 210. The dr iver message in the
display goes out after 5 seconds. The driver
message can be displayed again by pressing
the
! SET ! button. If on ly one tire is affected,
the display will indicate its position.
The tire pressure monitoring system must be
reset via radio or MMI * each time the pres­
sures are adjusted (e. g . when switching be ­
tween partia l and full load pressure) or after
changing or replacing a tire on your vehicle
¢
page 267. The TPMS indicator only moni­
tors the tire pressure that you have prev iously stored
. You can find the recommended tire
pressures for your vehicle on the label on driv­
er's side B-pillar ¢
page 251.
Tire tread circumference and vibration charac­
teristics can change and cause a tire pressure
warning if:
- the tir e pressure in one or more tires is too
low,
- the tir e has structural damage,
- the tir e pressure was changed, wheels rotat-
ed or replaced but the TPMS was not reset

A WARNING
=
- If the tire pressure indicator appears in
the instrument cluster display, one or
more of your tires is sign ificant ly under­
inflated. Reduce your speed immediately
and avoid any hard steer ing or braking
maneuvers. Stop as soon as possible and
check the tires and their pressures. In­
flate the tire pressure to the proper pres­
sure as ind icated on the vehicle's tire
