Checking and Filling
-Before work is done on the electrical sys
tem, disconnect the negative ground cable .
- Before performing any work on the electri
cal system, switch off the engine and igni
tion as well as any electrical equipment. The
negative cable on the battery must be dis
connected . If you are just going to replace a
light bulb, then it is enough to switch off
the lights.
- Before disconnecting the battery, switch off
the ant i-theft alarm system! Otherwise you
will set off the alarm.
- When disconnecting the battery, first dis
connect the negative cable and then the
positive cable.
- Before reconnecting the battery, make sure
all electrical consumers are switched off. Re
connect the positive cable first and then the
negative cable. Never interchange the ca
bles -this could start a fire!
- Never charge a frozen or a thawed-out bat
tery. It could explode! If a battery has fro
zen, then it must be replaced. A discharged
battery can freeze over at 32°F (0°C) .
- Make sure the vent hose is always attached
to the opening on the side of the battery.
- Never use batteries which are damaged.
There is the danger of an explosion! Always
replace a damaged battery.
A WARNING
California Proposition 65 Warning:
- Battery posts, terminals and related acces
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive problems.
Wash hands after handling.
(D Note
- Do not disconnect the vehicle battery when
the ignition is switched on or when tile en
gine is running, otherwise, you will damage
electronic components in the electrical sys
tem.
- If your vehicle is going to stand for a long
period of time without being driven, protect
the battery from "freezing", otherwise it
198
will be damaged and will then have to be re
placed.
Battery charging
Starting the engine requires a well charged bat
tery.
Fig. 167 Eng ine compartment: Connectors for charger and
jumper cables
Always read and heed all WARNINGS below
¢
A and ¢ A in Working on the battery on
page 197.
.,. Turn off the ignition and all electrical consum
ers.
.,. Make sure the area is well ventilated when you
charge the battery.
.,. Open the engine hood
¢ page 187.
.,. Open the cover on the positive pole¢ fig. 167.
.,. Connect the charger connectors according to
the instruct ions to the
jump start bolts . (Bolts
under the cover= "positive", Bolts with hex
head = "negative").
.,. Only now plug the mains lead for the charging
equipment into the wall outlet and turn it on
¢ &, .
.,. Make sure the charging rate is not over
30 amps/14.8 Volt.
.,. When the battery is fully charged : T urn the
charging equipment off and remove the mains
lead from the wall outlet.
.,. Now remove the clamps for the charging equip -
ment .
.,. Close the cover on the positive pole.
.,. Close the hood¢
page 187.
A discharged battery can freeze at temperatures
of only 32 °F (0 °C). Allow a frozen battery to
thaw completely before attempting to charge it

A WARNING
Always adapt the tire pressure
to your driving style and vehicle load.
-Overloading can lead to loss of
vehicle control and increase the risk of an accident. Read
and follow the important
safety precautions in
¢ page 208, Tires and vehicle
load limits.
-The tire must flex more if the tire pressure is too low or if the vehicle speed or load are
too high. This heats the tire up too much. This increases the
risk of an accident because it
can cause the tire to burst and result in loss of vehicle con
trol.
Tire pressure table
Please note that the information
contained in the following table
was correct at the time of print
ing, and the information is sub
ject to change. If there are differ
ences between this information
and the tire pressures specified
on the label on the driver's side B
pillar, always follow the specifica
tion on the B-pillar label
¢ page 206, fig . 171 .
Wheels
-Incorrect tire pressure increas
es tire wear and has a negative
effect on driving and braking behavior, which increases the
risk of an accident.
(D Note
Replace lost valve caps to re
duce the risk of damage to the
tire valves.
@ For the sake of the environment
Tire pressure that is too low in
creases fuel consumption.
(D Tips
Audi recommends using the
tire pressure specified for a nor
mal load¢
page 207 or for a
full load when the vehicle is
partially loaded.
Make sure that the tire designa
tion on your tire matches the des
ignation on the tire pressure label
and the tire pressure table.
The following table lists recom
mended tire pressures in cold
tires according to the load and
the size of the tires installed.

Wheels
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the sys
tem is not operating properly. The TPMS mal
function indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated . This sequence will continue upon
subsequent veh icle start-ups as long as the mal
function ex ists.
When the malfunct ion indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, incl uding the
installation of rep lacement or a lternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction tellta le after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
If the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
indicator appears
A pp lies to veh icles: w ith tire pressure moni toring sys te m
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. 173 In stru ment cluste r: indicator light with message
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure monitor
ing system compares the tire tread circumference
and vibration characteristics of the individual
tires . If the pressure changes in one or more
tires, this is indicated in the instrument cluster
d isp lay w ith an ind icator light
RE and a message.
214
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 rep lacing a tire on
your vehicle ¢
page 215. The tire pressure moni
toring system on ly monitors the tire pressure you
have stored. Refer to the tire pressure label for
the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle
¢ page 206, fig. 172 .
Tire tread circumference and vibration character
istics can change and cause a tire pressure warn
ing if:
- the t ire pressure in one or more tires is too low .
- the tire has structural damage.
- the tir e was replaced or the tire pressure was
changed and it was not stored
¢ page 215.

RE loss of pressure in at least one tire¢&. .
Check the tires and replace or r epair if necessary .
Check/correct the pressures of all four tires and
store the press ure again in the Infotainment sys
tem
¢ page 215.
mn:J (T ire Pr essure Mon itoring System) Tire pres
sure: System malfunction!. If@m
appears after
switching the ignition on or while driving and the
RE indicator light in the instrument cluster
blinks for approximately one minute and then
stays on, there is system malfunction. Try to
store the correct tire pressures
¢ page 215. If
the indicator light does turn off or turns on aga in
after a short period of time, drive to your author
i zed Audi dealer or qualified repair facility imme
diately to have the ma lfunct ion corrected.
,&. WARNING
- If the tire pressure ind icator appears in the
display, reduce yo ur speed immediately and
avoid any hard steering or braking maneu
vers. Stop as soon as possible and check the
tires and their pressure .
- The driver is responsible for maintaining the
correct tire pressure. You must check the
tire pressure regu larly. .,..
