blades.
@ Note
- If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind­
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind­
shield can damage the w iper blades.
- Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
wiper system must be sw itched off (lever in
position

switching on unintentionally and caus ing
damage to the windsh ield wiper system.

w indshield wipers after the ignition is
switched back on by moving the w indshield

CD Note
-Check the oil level in the Infotainment sys­
tem. If the message
II Please reduce oil
level
appears, contact an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Fac ility to
have excess oil extracted if necessary.
- Do not mix any additional lubricants into
the engine o il. Damage caused by such addi­
tives is not covered by the warranty .
@ For the sake of the environment
-Oil should never enter the sewer system or
come into contact with the ground.
- Pay attention to legal requirements when
dispos ing of empty oil containers.
Changing the engine oil
We recommend that have your oil changed by an
authorized Audi dealer or a qualified service sta­
tion.
Before you check anything in the engine compart­
ment,
always read and heed all WARNINGS c> A
in Working in the engine compartment on
page 304 .
The engine oil must be changed according to the
intervals specified in your Warranty
& Mainte­
nance booklet. This is very important because the
lubricating properties of oil diminish gradually
during normal vehicle use.
Under some circumstances the engine oil should
be changed more frequently . Change oil more of­
ten if you drive mostly short distances, operate
the vehicle in dusty areas or under predominantly
stop-and-go traffic cond it ions, or have your vehi­
cle whe re temperatures remain below freezing
for extended pe riods.
Detergent additives in the oil will make fresh oil
look dark after the engine has been running for a
short time. This is no rmal and is not a reason to
change the oil more often than recommended.
Because of the problem of proper disposal, along
with the special tools and necessary expertise re­
qu ired, we strong ly recommend that you have
Checking and Filling
your oi l changed by an authorized Audi dealer or
a qualified service station .
If you choose to change your oil yourself, please
note the following important info rmation:
A WARNING ~
To reduce the risk of persona l injury if you
must change the engine oil in your vehicle
yourself:
- Wear eye protection.
-
-To reduce the risk of burns from hot engine
oil, let the engine cool down to the touch.
- When remov ing the oil drain plug with your
fingers, stay as far away as possible. Always
keep your forearm parallel to the ground to
help prevent hot oil from running down your
arm.
- Drain the oil into a container designed for
this purpose, one large enough to hold at
least the tota l amount of oil in your engine.
- Engine oil is poisonous. Keep it well out of
the reach of children.
- Continuous contact with used engine oil is
harmful to your skin. Always protect your
skin by washing oil off thoroughly with soap
and water.
CD Note
Never mix oil additives with your engine oil.
These additives can damage your engine and
adverse ly affect your Audi Limited New Vehi­
cle Warranty.
@ For the sake of the environment
-Before changing your oi l, first make sure
you know where you can properly dispose of
the used oil.
- Always dispose of used engine o il properly.
Do not dump it on garden soil, wooded
areas, into open streams or down sewage
drains.
- Recycle used engine o il by tak ing it to a used
eng ine oil collection fac ility in your area, or
contact a service station .
