.... the
battery, we recommend that the replacement
battery used is of the same make and type as the
original-equipment battery. After changing the
battery, the power management system must be
initialised by a qualified workshop to ensure that
the replacement battery is charged to an opti­
mum level.
A replacement battery must have the same ca­
pacity, voltage (12 V) and current rating. It must
also have the same dimensions as the original,
factory-fitted battery and have sealed caps. The
battery must comply with the standards
TL 825 06 (dated April 2008 or later) and
VW 7 50 73 (April 2010 or later).
Since the battery is difficult to access, we recom­
mend having it replaced by an Audi dealer or
qualified workshop.
CD CAUTION
- Your vehicle is equipped with a special deep
cycle battery (e.g. AGM type). The on-board
electronic systems may develop problems if
you fit a different type of battery. For this
reason, if you need to replace the vehicle
battery, make sure that the specifications of
the new battery match the original exactly.
- Make sure that the vent hose is always at­
tached to the original opening on the side of
the battery. Gases or battery acid can other­
wise escape and possibly cause damage.
- The battery holder and clamps must always
be correctly secured.
- Before starting any work on the battery, al­
ways observe the warnings listed under
¢ page 227, Important safety warnings for
handling a car battery.
@ For the sake of the environment
"S Batteries contain toxic substances including
sulphuric acid and lead. They must be dis­
posed of appropriately and must not be put
together with ordinary household waste.

and tyres
& WARNING
- Use only tyre/rim combinations and match­
ing wheel bolts approved by Audi. Otherwise
damage to the vehicle and an accident could
result.
- For technical reasons, it is not possible to
use wheels from other vehicles. In certain
cases, it is not even possible to use wheels
from another vehicle of the same model.
- It is very important to ensure that the tyres
you have chosen have adequate clearance.
When selecting replacement tyres, do not
rely entirely on the nominal tyre size marked
on the tyre; with some makes of tyre the ef­
fective tyre size can differ significantly from
the nominal dimensions, even though the
tyres have the same size designation. Inade­
quate tyre clearance can result in damage to
the tyres or the vehicle, causing a serious
safety risk.
- Avoid running the car on tyres that are more
than 6 years old. If you have no alternative,
you should drive slowly and with extra care
at all times.
- The use of run-flat tyres on your vehicle is
NOT authorised! Unauthorised use can cause
an accident or damage your vehicle.
- If wheel trims are fitted after the car is pur­
chased, ensure that there is an adequate
flow of air for cooling the brakes -risk of ac­
cident!
Tyre wear / damage
Fig. 219 Tyre tread: Tread wear indicators
l l
Please observe the applicable regulations in the country in
which you are travelling.
232 Tyre
wear
Inspect the tyres regularly for damage.
- The wear on under or over-inflated tyres is sig­
nificantly higher.
- Fast cornering, heavy acceleration and hard
braking all increase tyre wear.
- If you notice excessive tyre wear, have the
wheel alignment checked by a qualified work­
shop.
- Have your tyres rebalanced if steering wheel vi­
brations indicate an imbalance. Otherwise, the
tyres and other parts of the vehicle may wear
faster.
Tread wear indicators
The original tyres on your vehicle have 1.6 mm
high tread wear indicators ¢ Fig. 219 running
across the tread at regular intervals. The letters
"TWI" or triangles on the sidewall indicate the
positions of the tread wear indicators.
The minimum tread depth 1
) is reached at the lat­
est when the tread is worn down to the tread
wear indicators. Replace the tyres with new ones
¢ ,&..
Changing wheels round
Wheels should be changed round regularly to en­
sure that the wear is equal on all tyres. Fit the
wheels from the rear axle on the front axle and
vice-versa. All the tyres will then last for about
the same time.
On tyres with a directional tread pattern, note
the direction of rotation indicated on the sidewall
¢page 247.
Concealed damage
Damage to tyres and rims is often not readily visi­
ble. If you notice unusual vibrations or the car
pulling to one side, this may indicate that one of
the tyres is damaged. Reduce your speed imme­
diately. Inspect the tyres for damage. If no exter­
nal damage is visible, drive slowly and carefully
to the nearest qualified workshop and have the
car inspected.

WARNING
Insufficient tread depth or different tread
depths on different wheels reduce safety. This
is particularly evident in vehicle handling,
when there is a risk of aquaplaning in deep
puddles of water and when driving through
corners. Braking is also adversely affected -
risk of accident!
Tyre pressure

If you intend to drive the vehicle with a partial
load, adjust the tyre pressures to the specified
setting (D. Should you wish to drive with a full
load, you must increase the tyre pressure to the
specified maximum @
¢.&,.
.
Checking / adjusting the tyre pressures
.. Check
the tyre pressures at least once a month
and, in addition, before starting a long journey. Wheels
and tyres
.. The tyre pressures should only be checked when
the tyres are cold. The slightly raised pressures
of warm tyres must not be reduced.
.. Refer to the sticker ¢ Fig. 220 for the correct
tyre pressures according to the load the vehicle
is carrying.
.. If necessary , adjust the tyre pressure.
.. Vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator*:
Store the new tyre pressures on the infotain­
ment system ¢ page 235 .
.. Check the pressure of the spare wheel* /com­
pact temporary spare wheel*. Keep the spare
tyre inflated to the highest pressure approved
for the tyre.
A WARNING
Always adjust the tyre pressures to match
your driving style and the load the vehicle is
carrying.
- Excessive loads can cause you to lose control
of the vehicle -risk of accident!
- Under-inflated tyres flex more and can over­
heat at high speeds or when the vehicle is
carrying a heavy load. This could cause a
tyre blow-out and you could lose control of
the vehicle -risk of accident!
- Incorrect tyre pressures increase tyre wear
and adversely affect vehicle braking and
handling -risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
Replace any lost valve caps to prevent dam­
age to the tyre valves.
@ For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres will increase the fuel con­
sumption.
@ Note
We recommend using the tyre pressure set­
ting (Dor@ for partial loads.
Winter tyres
In winter road conditions winter tyres will consid­
erably improve the car's handling. Due to their
type of construction (width, rubber compound,

tread pattern), summer tyres give less grip on ice
and snow.
... Winter tyres must be fitted on all four wheels.
... Only use winter tyres of the correct type ap-
proved for your vehicle.
... Please
note that the maximum permissible
speed for winter tyres may be lower than for
summer tyres¢.&_ . Your specialist retailer can
advise you of the maximum speed for your
tyres.
... After fitting the wheels you must always check
the tyre pressures ¢page 233.
Winter tyres lose their effectiveness when the
tread is worn down to a depth of 4 mm. The per­
formance of winter tyres is also severely impaired
by ageing, even if the tread is still much deeper
than 4 mm.
.&_ WARNING
- Never exceed the maximum approved speed
for your tyres. This causes the tyres to over­
heat and can even result in a blow-out -risk
of accident!
- Always adapt your driving style to the pre­
vailing road and traffic conditions. Drive
carefully and reduce your speed on icy or
slippery roads. Even winter tyres lose their
grip on black ice.
@) For the sake of the environment
Summer tyres should be fitted again as soon
as possible; they give better handling on
roads which are free of snow and ice. They are
quieter, do not wear so quickly and reduce
fuel consumption.
(Qj) Note
All-weather tyres can also be used instead of
winter tyres. Please note that winter tyres
with the & symbol are required by law during
the winter season in some countries.
Snow chains
Snow chains will improve braking ability as well
as traction in winter conditions.
234 ...
Snow chains can be used on the front wheels
only. This also applies to vehicles with four­
wheel drive* .
... Check that the snow chains are correctly seated
after driving for a few yards; follow the instruc­
tions given by the manufacturer .
... Keep your speed below 50 km/h. Please ob-
serve the applicable local regulations.
For technical reasons snow chains may only be
used on tyres with certain wheel rim/tyre combi­
nations.
Rim size
Rim offset Tyre
size
7Jx17 47mm 225/50
Only use snow chains with fine-pitch links. The
links must not protrude more than 13.5 mm
from the tyres (including tensioner).
You must remove the snow chains on roads which
are free of snow; otherwise the vehicle handling
may be impaired and the tyres may be damaged.
.&_ WARNING
Unsuitable or incorrectly mounted snow
chains can cause you to lose control of the ve­
hicle -risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
Snow chains can damage the rim/hubcap* if
they make direct contact with it. Remove the
hubcaps* beforehand. Use snow chains which
have a protective coating.
Tyre pressure Loss

Tyre pressure loss indicator in instrument
cluster
Applies to vehicles: with tyre pressure Loss indicator
The tyre pressure Loss indicator in the instrument
cluster informs the driver if the tyre pressure is
too low or a system malfunction has occurred.
The tyre pressure loss indicator makes use of the
ABS sensors to compare the rolling circumfer­
ence and the vibration of the tyres. If changes in
the inflation pressure are detected on one or
more tyres, the driver is alerted by an indicator

Care of vehicle and
cleaning
General notes
Regular and careful care helps to maintain the
value of the vehicle. This may also be one of the
requirements for upholding any warranty claims
in the event of corrosion or paint defects.
The required car care products are available from
Audi dealers or specialist retailers. Please follow
the instructions for use on the packaging.
A WARNING
- Cleaning products and other materials used
for car care can damage health if misused.
- Car care products can contain toxic substan­
ces and must always be kept in a safe place
out of reach of children.
®, For the sake of the environment
- Please choose care products that are not
harmful to the environment.
- Surplus cleaning materials should not be
disposed of together with ordinary house­
hold waste.
Washing the vehicle
The longer residues are allowed to remain on the
vehicle, the more damage they can do to the
paintwork. High temperatures (for instance in di­
rect sunlight) further intensify the damage.
Before washing, soak heavy dirt with plenty of
water.
Stubborn dirt, such as bird droppings or resinous
tree sap, is best removed with plenty of water
and a micro-fibre cloth.
After the period when salt is put on the roads,
have the underside of the vehicle washed thor­
oughly.
High-pressure cleaners
When cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure
cleaner, always follow the operating instructions
for the equipment. This applies particularly to
236 the
operating pressure and the spraying distance.
Do not point the spray jet directly at the seals on
the windows, doors, bonnet or boot lid, or at the
tyres, rubber hoses, insulating material or sen­
sors*. Maintain a distance of at least 40 cm.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to remove
snow and ice.
Never use high-pressure cleaners with a round-jet
nozzle or "dirt blasters".
The water must not be hotter than 60 °C.
Automatic car washes
Spray the vehicle with water before washing.
Ensure that the windows are closed and that the
windscreen wipers are switched off. Follow the
car wash operator's rules and recommendations,
especially if any accessories are attached to your
vehicle.
If possible use a brush less car wash.
Washing by hand
Clean the car with a soft sponge or brush, start­
ing on the roof and working down. Use solvent­
free cleaning agents.
Washing matt-painted vehicles by hand
To avoid damaging the paintwork when washing
the car, first remove any dust, sand and grit. In­
sects, grease stains and fingerprints are best re­
moved using a special cleaning agent for matt­
painted surfaces.
Apply the product with a micro-fibre cloth. Do
not apply too much pressure to avoid damaging
the paintwork.
Rinse the car thoroughly with water. Then clean
the car with a neutral shampoo and a soft micro­
fibre cloth.
Rinse the car with lots of water again and then
let it dry in the air. Remove any water stains with
a chamois.
