individual tires. If the pressure changes in one or
more tires, this is indicated in the instrument
cluster display with an indicator light
[IJ and a
message . If only one tire is affected, the location
of that tire will be indicated.
The tire pressures must be stored in the Infotain­ 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 343 . The tire pressure moni­
toring system only monitors the tire pressure you
have stored. Refer to the tire pressure label for
the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle
¢ page 335, fig. 269.
Tire tread circumference and vibration character­
istics can change and cause a tire pressure warn­
ing if:
- the tire pressure in one or more tires is too low
- the tires have structural damage
- the tire was replaced or the tire pressure was
changed and it was not stored

Care and cleaning
Care and cleaning
General information
Regular, proper care helps to maintain your vehi­
cle's value. It can also be a requirement when
submitting warranty claims for corrosion damage
and paint defects on the body.
The required cleaning and care products can be
obtained from an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Service Facility . Read and follow the in­
structions for use on the packaging .
A WARNING
-Using cleaning and care products incorrectly
can be dangerous to your health.
- Always store clean ing and care products out
of reach of children to reduce the r isk of poi­
son ing.
@ For the sake of the environment
- Preferab ly purchase environmenta lly-friend­
l y cleaning products.
- Do not dispose of leftover cleaning and care
products with household trash.
Car washes
The longer that deposits such as insects, bird
droppings, tree sap or road salt remain on the ve­
h icle, the more the surface can be damaged. High
temperatures such as those caused by sunlight
increase the damaging effect.
Before washing, r inse
off heavy deposits with
p lenty of water.
Stubborn deposits such as bird droppings or tree
sap are best removed with plenty of water and a microfiber cloth.
A lso, wash the underside of yo ur vehicle once
road sa lt stops being used for the season .
Pressure washers
When washing your veh icle w ith a pressure wash­
er , al ways fo llow the operating instructions pro­
vided with the press ure washer. This is especially
important in regard to the pressure and spraying
distance. Do not aim the spray directly at the
344
seals on the side windows, doors, lids or the sun­
roof* or at tires, rubber hoses, insulating materi ­
a l, sensors* or camera lenses* . Keep a distance of
at least 16 in (40 cm).
Do not remove snow and ice with a pressure
washer.
Never use cone nozz les or high pressure nozzles.
The water temperature must not be above 140 °F
(60 °() .
Automatic car washes
Spray off the vehicle before washing.
Make sure that the windows and roof* are closed
and the windshie ld wipers are
off . Follow instruc ­
tions from the car wash operator, especially if
there are accessories attached to your vehicle.
If possible, use car washes that do not have
brushes.
Washing by hand
Clean the vehicl e starting from the top and work­
in g down using a soft sponge or cl eaning br ush.
Use solvent-free cleaning products.
Washing vehicles with matte finish paint by
hand
To avoid damaging the paint when washing, first
remove dust and large part icles from you r vehi ­
cle. Insects, grease spots and fingerprints are
best removed with a special cleaner for matte
finish paint .
Apply t he product using a microfiber cloth. To
avoid damaging th e paint surface, do not use too
much pressure.
R inse the vehicl e thoroughly with wate r. Then
clean using a neutra l shampoo and a soft micro­
f iber cloth .
Rinse the vehicl e thoroughly again and let it air
dry. Remove any water residue using a chamois.
A WARNING
-Only wash the vehicle when the ignition is
off and follow the instructions from the car
