Engine cooling system
Coolant
The engine coolant performs two functions: it
keeps the engine from overheating and it pro ­
tects the engine from freezing in the winter .
The cooling system is sealed and generally re­
qu ires little attention .
The cooling system has been filled at the fac­
tory with a permanent coolant which does not need to be changed. The coolant consists of a
mixture of specially conditioned water and the
manufacturer's glycol-based coolant addi-
tive G13 antifreeze with anticorros ion addi­
tives (50% for USA models; 60% for Canadian models) . This mixture both assures the neces­
sary frost protection and protects metal com­
ponents in the engine's cooling system from
corrosion and scaling.
It also raises the boil ­
ing point of the coolant.
Do not reduce the concentration of the coo l­
ant in the summer by adding plain water .
The
proportion of coolant additive must be at
least 50% but not more than 60%
to main­
tain antifree ze protection and cooling efficien­
cy. If the coolant frost protection is too low,
the coolant could freeze and damage the vehi ­
cle heating and eng ine cooling system .
For year-round driving, antifree ze is added at
the factory for temperatures down to:
- -31°F(-35°C)USA
- -40 ° F ( - 40 °C) Canada.
I f you must add coo lant, use a mixture of wa­
ter and coolant addit ive. Mixing the coolant
additive with distilled water is recommended.
& WARNING
Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed all
WARNINGS ~.&.
in Working in the engine
compartment on page 211.
(D Note
- Before winter sets in, have the coolant
checked to see if the coolant additive in
Checkin g and fillin g 217
your vehicle is sufficient to meet the cli ­
mate conditions. This is especia lly impor­
tant if you live in a region where the win­
ter is extremely co ld. If necessary, in­
crease the proportion of coolant additive
to 60% .
- When adding coolant additive to your
cooling system, remember :
- We recommend using only coolant ad­
ditive G12++ or G13 (check the label)
for your vehicle . This coolant additive is
avai lable at authorized Audi dealers .
Other types of antifreeze can signifi­
cantly reduce corrosion protection. The resulting corrosion can cause a loss of
coolant and serious engine damage.
- Do not add any type of radiator leak seal­
ant to your vehicle's engine coolant.
Adding radiator repair fluid may adverse­
ly affect the function and performance of
your cooling system and could result in
damage not covered by your New Veh icle
Limited Warranty.
Checking the engine coolant level
The engine coolant level can be checked with
a quick glance.

If you have lost a consi derable amount of
coolant, then you should add co ld antifreeze
and cold water only when the engine is co ld .
Always use
new engine coolant when refi lling.
D o not fi ll coolant above the "MAX " mark . Ex­
cess coolant will be forced out th rough the
p ress ure rel ief valve in the cap when the en­
g ine becomes hot .
A WARNING ,_________
-The cooling system is under press ure and
can get very hot . Reduce the risk of
sca ld ing from hot coo lant by following
these steps.
- Tur n
off the eng ine and a llow itto cool
down.
- Protect your face, hands and arms from
escap ing f lu id a nd steam by cover ing
the cap wi th a la rge, thick rag.
- Turn the cap slow ly and very ca refully
in a cou nte r-clockw ise d irect ion while
a pply ing ligh t, downw ard p ress ure on
the to p of the cap.
- To avo id being burned, do no t sp ill an­
tifreeze or coolan t on t he exhaust sys­
tem or ho t engine parts . U nder certa in
conditions, the ethylene glyco l in en­
gine coolant can catc h fire .
- Antifreeze is poisonous . Always store an ­
tifreeze in its original container and we ll
o ut o f the reach of children.
- If you drain the coolant , it must be
caught and safely stored in a proper con­
tainer clearly marked "poison".
@ Note
- Do not add coolant if the expansion tank
i s empty . Ai r could enter the cooling sys­
tem and damage the engine. If this is
the case, do not continue driving. Seek professional assistance.
- Coolant po llutes the env ironment and
could cause a n engine fire. Excess coo l­
ant wi ll be forced out through the pres­
sure re lief valve in the cap when the en ­
gine becomes hot.
Checkin g and fillin g 219
-If, in an emergency, on ly wate r can be
added, the correct ratio between water
and antifreeze ¢
page 217 must be re­
stored as soon as possible.
@) For the sake of the environment
Drained coolant sho uld not be reused. A l­
ways d ispose of used coolant while observ­
i ng a ll environmental regulations.
, Radiator fan
The radiator fan switches on automatically by
itself .
An auxiliary electric radiato r fan switches on
and
off depending on coolant temperature
and othe r vehicle ope rat ing cond it ions.
After yo u switch the eng ine o ff, the aux iliary
f an can continue running for up to 10 m inutes
- even with the ignition off. It can even switch

er touch the radiator fan .
- The a uxiliary electric fan is tempe rat ure
contro lled and can switch on suddenly
even when the engine is not running.
- The a uxiliary radiator fan sw itches on a u­

256 Tire s and wheel s
Description
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors
th e pressure in the four tir es when driving .
The system uses sensors that measure the
temperature and pressure in the tires. Theda­
ta is sent from these sensors to the control
module by rad io frequency .
The tire pressure monitoring system shows
the current pressures and temperatures
of the
tires in the Infotainment system
c:> page 256 .
It also compares the current tire pressures
with the sto red press ures and gives a warn ing
in the dr iver information system if the t ire
p ressu re is different from what is sto red
<=:> page 257.
The system does not detect if the sto red ti re
p ressu res matc h the recommended tire pres­
sures . Yo u must resave the tire p ress ures
<=:> page 257:
- every time the tire pressures change, for ex­
amp le when the load in the veh icle changes,
- after replac ing a tire, or
- i f wheels with new wheel sensors are used .
.,&. WARNING
- The tire pressure mo nitor ing system as­
sists t he d rive r in monito ring t ire pres­
s ur es. The dr iver is responsible fo r having
the tires in flated t o the co rrec t press ure.
- Do not change t he tire pressu re when the
t empe rat ure of the ti re is high. This
cou ld resul t in ser io us damage to the ti re
and even cause t he tire to burst, increas ­
ing th e risk of an accident.
- 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 a n accident.
- The tire pressure mon itor ing system
does not warn about damage or defects
in the tire construct ion that could ca use
the tire to b urst, for examp le . Inspect
yo ur t ires regularly .
{® For the sake of the environment
Low tire pressure increases fuel consump­
tion and tire wear .
(D Tips
- If tires are replaced, the senso rs/valves
do not need to be removed o r replaced.
Just replace the va lve stem and, if neces­
sary, the valve and the whee l electronics .
If you have questions, see your a uthor­
ized Aud i dea ler o r a qualified workshop .
- Us ing the tire mob ility kit can results in
an incorrect display or a ma lfunction in
t he tire pressure monito ring system .
Have the sensors replaced by an a uthor­
ized Aud i dea le r o r a qua lified workshop.

262 What do I do now?
• Switch on the ignition.
Inflating tire
• Move the switch @~ fig. 207 on the elec­
tric a ir pump
ll to posit ion I. After 5 mi­
nutes, tir e pressure must have reached at
least 1.8 bar.
• Switch the electric air pump off -switch in
position
0. If the required tire pressure of at
l east 1.8 bar has not been reached, follow
the instructions in the section
Re-inflating
tire.
Re-inflating tire
• Remove the hose from the valve and pull the
plug out of the socket.
• Drive the vehicle slow ly 33 feet (10 meters)
backward or forward. This helps to distrib­
ute the sealant better.
• Remove the empty inflation bottle and
screw the hose®~
fig. 206 from the elec­
t ric pump directly onto the va lve.
• Insert the plug@~
fig. 206 into the socket
for the cigarette lighter.
• Switch on the ignition.
• Move the switch @~
fig. 207 on the e lec­
tric air pump
ll to position I. After 5 mi­
nutes, tire pressure must have reached at
least 1.8 bar.
• Switch the electric air pump off -switch in
pos it ion
0 . If the requ ired tire pressure of at
least 1.8 bar has not been reached, it is not
poss ible to make a repa ir with the tire seal­
ant. Seek professional assistance.
Disassembling Tire Mobility System
• Remove the hose from the valve and pull the
plug out of the socket.
• Screw the dust cap onto the valve .
• Place the empty sealant bottle back in the
original packaging and clip it in place under
the floor so that no tire sealant can run out
into the vehicle.
• Place the electric air pump in the luggage
compartment for the time being.
1l The electr ic air p ump sho uld never ru n fo r long er than
6 minut es.
• Start driving right away so that the sealant
is distributed in the tire .
A WARNING
=
- Follow the manufacturer 's safety instruc-
tions on the decal for the air pump and
the sealant bottle.
- If a tire pressure of 1.8 bar cannot be
achieved after pumping for 5 minutes,
the t ire is too severely damaged. Do not
continue to dr ive .
- Seek professional ass istance if it is not
possible to repa ir the tire w ith the tir e
sealant.
(D Tips
- Do not operate the electric air pump for
more than 6 minutes without stopping,
otherwise it can overheat . When the air
pump has cooled down, you can continue
to use it.
- If sealant has escaped, allow it to dry,
then you can pee l it off.
Final check
After driving for a short distance, tire pressure must be checked
• After driving for about 10 min utes, stop and
check the tire pressure.
• If tire pressure is sti ll at least 1.3 bar, in­
flate the tire to specif ied pressure (see driv­
er's side B-pillar), drive to the next repair
shop and have the tire and the sealant bot­
tle replaced .
• If tire pressure is less than 1.3 bar, the tire
is too severely damaged . Do not continue to
drive. Seek professional assistance.
A WARNING
If tire pressure is less than 1.3 bar after
driving for 10 minutes, the tire is too se­
verely damaged. Do not continue to drive.
Seek professional ass istance .
