A WARNING
-
-It is o nly safe to use tablets, laptops, mo­
bi le devices and other similar devices when
the vehicle is stationary because, like all
loose objects, they could be thrown around
the inside of the vehicle in a crash and cause
serious injuries. Store these types of devices
secure ly while driving.
- Do not use any wire less devices on the front
seats within range of the airbags while driv­
ing. Also read the warnings in the chapter
¢ page 275, Front airbags .

A WARNING
-The demands of traffic require your fu ll at­
tention. Always read the chapter
~ page 155, Traffic safety information.
- Obey all traff ic laws when driving.
- The route calculated by the navigation sys- tem is a recommendation for reaching your destination. Obey traffic lights, stopping re­
strictions, one-way streets, lane change re­
strictions, etc.
{Q) Note
- If the dr iving directions conflict with traff ic
laws, obey the traffic laws.
- To reduce the risk of an accident, adjust the
volume of the navigation system so that sig­ nals from outs ide the veh icle, such as police
and fire s irens, can be heard easily at all
t imes.
@ Tips
- Snow and obstruct ions on the GPS antenna
or interference caused by trees and large
buildi ngs can impair satellite reception and
affect the sys tem's ability to dete rmine the
vehicle pos ition. Several deactivated or ma l­
functioning satellites can also inter rupt GPS
reception and affect the system's ability to
determine the vehicle position.
- Because street names sometimes change, the names stored in the MMI may in rare cases differ from the actual street name .

does not come on and stay on, immediate­
ly install the forward-facing child seat in a
rear seating position and have the airbag
system inspected by your authorized Aud i
dealer.
- Always buckle the child seat firmly in
p lace even if a ch ild is not sitt ing in it. A
loose child seat can fly around during a
sudden stop o r in a collision.
-Always read and heed all WARNINGS whenever using a child restraint in a vehi­
cle ~ page 263, Safety belts, ~ page 2 71,
Airbag system
and ~ page 295, Impor­
tant information .
@ Tips
Always replace ch ild restraints that were in­
stalled in a vehicle dur ing a crash. Damage to
a child restraint that is not visib le co uld cause
it to fail in anothe r collision situation .
Advanced front airbag system and children
Your vehicle is equipped with an "Advanced Air­
bag System" in compliance with United States
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
208, as well as Canada Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (CMVSS) 208 as applicable at the time
your veh icle was manufactured.
The Advanced Airbag system in your vehicle has
been certified to meet the "low-risk" require­
ments for
3-and 6-year old children on the pas­
senger side and small adults on the driver side.
The low risk deployment crite ria are intended to
reduce the risk of injury through inte raction with
the airbag that can occur, for examp le, by being
too close to the steering whee l and instrument
panel when the airbag inflates . In addition, the
system has been certified to comply with the
"suppression" req uirements of the Safety Stand­
ard, to turn off the front airbag for infants up to
12 months who are restra ined on the front pas­
senger seat in child restraints that are listed in
the Standard .
Child safety
Even though your vehicle is equipped with an Ad­
vanced Airbag system, all chi ldren, especially
those 12 years and younger, should always ride in the back seat properly restrained for their age
and size. The airbag on the passenger side makes
the front seat a potentia lly dangerous place for a
child to ride . The front seat is not the safest place
for a ch ild in a forward-fac ing ch ild safety seat .
It
can be a very dangerous place fo r an infant o r a
la rger ch ild i n a rea rwa rd-facing seat .
T he veh icle 's Advanced Airbag System has a ca­
pacit ive passenger detection system in the front
passenge r seat cushion that can detect the p res­
ence of a baby or a ch ild in a child restra int sys­
tem on this seat .
The capacitive passenger detection system reg is­
te rs the changes that result in an electrical field
when a child, a ch ild restraint, and a baby b lan ket
are on the front passenger seat. The change in
the measured capacitance due to the presence of
a chi ld, a child restraint, and a baby blanket on
the front passenger seat is related to the child
restra int system resting on the seat. The meas­
ured capacitance of a child restraint system var­
ies depend ing on the type of system and specific
make and model.
The electrical capac itance of the various types,
makes, and models of child restraints specif ied
by the U .S.National Highway Traff ic Safety Ad ­
min istrat ion (NHTSA) in the relevant safety
standard are stored in the Advanced Airbag Sys­
tem contro l unit together with the capacitances
typ ica l of infants and a 1-year old child. When a
child restraint is used on the front passenger
seat with a typical 1 year-old infant, the Ad­
vanced Airbag System compares the capacitance
measured by the capacitive passenger detection
system with the data stored in the electronic con­
trol unit .
Child restraints and Advanced Airbags
Regardless of the ch ild restraint that you use,
make sure that it has been certified to meet Safe­
ty Standards and has been ce rt ified by its manu­
fact urer for use w ith an airbag . Always be su re
that the child restraint is properly installed at

Engine oil
Engine oil specifications
The engine oil used must conform to exact speci­
fications.
The service interval display in the instrument
cluster of your vehicle will inform you when it is
time for an oi l change . We recommend that you
have your oil changed by an authorized Audi Serv-
ice Advisor.
.,..

Check ing and F illing
@ For the sake of the environment
- Oil should never enter the sewer system or
come into contact with the gro und.
- Pay attention to legal requirements when
disposing of empty oil containers .
@ Tips
- The oil leve l indicator in the d isplay is only
an informationa l disp lay .
If the oil leve l is
too low, a minimum oil warning appea rs in
the instrument cluster. Add oil and close
the hood . The current oil level is displayed
i n the instrument cluster the next t ime the
i gnition is switched on .
- The engine oil consumption may be up to
0 .5 quart/600 miles (0 .5 liter/1,000 km),
depend ing on driving style a nd operating
cond itions . Consumption may be higher
d ur in g the first 3,000 miles (5,000 km). Be­
cause of t his, the engi ne oil level m ust be

It would be best to check
each time you ref uel your veh icle and before

Changing the engine oil
We recommend that hove your oil changed by an
authorized Audi dealer or a qualified service sta ­
tion .
Before you c heck a nyth ing in the eng ine compart­

alway s read and heed all WARNINGS ¢.&
in Working in the engine compartment on
page 323.
T he engine oil must be change d accord ing to the
intervals specified in your Warranty
& Mainte ­
nance booklet . This is very important because the
lubricat ing propert ies of oi l diminish gradually
during normal vehicle use.
Under some circ umstances the engine o il should
be changed more frequently. Change oil more of­
ten if yo u drive most ly short distances, operate
the vehicle in dusty areas or under predominantly
stop-and-go traffic cond it ions, or have yo ur vehi­
cle where temperatures remain below freezing
for extended periods .

change the oil more often than recommended.
Because o f the p roblem o f prope r disposa l, along

quired, we strongly recommend that yo u have
yo ur oil changed by an authori zed

-
- W hen removin g the oil drain plug with your
fingers, stay as far away as possible. Always

- Drain the oil into a container designed for
this purpose, one la rge enough to hold at
least the tota l amount of oi l in you r engine.
- Engi ne oil is poisonous. Keep it well out of
the reach of childre n.
- Continuous contact with used eng ine o il is
