.... Four-wheel
drive
(quattro)
Applies to vehicles: with four-wheel drive
On quattro models the engine power is distrib­
uted to all four wheels.
General notes
On four-wheel drive vehicles, the engine power is
distributed to all four wheels. The distribution of
power is controlled automatically according to
your driving style and the road conditions. Also
refer to ¢ page 102, Electronic stabilisation con­
trol (£SC).
The four-wheel drive is specially designed to
complement the superior engine power of your
Audi. This combination gives the car exceptional
handling and performance capabilities -both on
normal roads and in more difficult conditions,
such as snow and ice. Even so (or perhaps espe­
cially for this reason), it is important to observe
certain safety points¢.&,..
Winter tyres
Thanks to its four-wheel drive, your car will have
plenty of traction in winter conditions, even with
the standard tyres. Nevertheless, we still recom­
mend that winter tyres or all-season tyres should
be fitted on all four wheels when winter road
conditions are expected, mainly because this will
give a better braking response.
Snow chains
On roads where snow chains are mandatory, this
also applies to cars with four-wheel drive
¢ page 234, Snow chains.
Replacing tyres On vehicles with four-wheel drive, all four tyres
must have the same rolling circumference. Also
avoid using tyres with varying tread depths
¢ page 231, New wheels or tyres.
Off-road er?
Your Audi does not have enough ground clear­
ance to be used as an off-road vehicle. It is there­
fore best to avoid rough tracks and uneven ter­
rain as much as possible. Intelligent
technology
_&. WARNING
- Even with four-wheel drive, you should al­
ways adjust your speed to suit the condi­
tions. Do not let the extra safety provided
tempt you into taking any risks when driving
- this can cause accidents.
- The braking ability of your car is limited by
the grip of the tyres. In this respect, your
car is no different from a car without four­
wheel drive. So do not be tempted to drive
too fast on icy or slippery roads just because
the car still has good acceleration in these
conditions -risk of accident!
- On wet roads bear in mind that the front
wheels may start to "aquaplane" and lose
contact with the road if the car is driven too
fast. If this should happen, there will be no
sudden increase in engine speed to warn the
driver, as with a front-wheel drive car. So do
not drive too fast in the wet: adjust your
speed to suit the conditions (accident risk).
Rear spoiler
Applies to vehicles: with automatic rear spoiler
The automatic rear spoiler increases the car's
stability.
Fig. 112 Centre console: Button for rear spoiler
The rear spoiler can be extended or retracted
manually or automatically.
Automatic mode (normal operation)
- Automatic extension: The rear spoiler is auto­
matically extended at road speeds above ap-
proximately 120 km/h.

Media
Introduction
The MMI system includes various media drives
and provides various options for connecting devi­
ces. For example, you can play audio/video* files
from the jukebox or connect a mobile device to
the Audi music interface* and operate it via the
MMI.
Notes General notes
Media and format limitations: The MMI system
(incl uding the SD card reader and the connection
for the USB mass storage device*) has been tes­
ted for use with many of the products and media
currently available on the market. However, there
may be some devices/media and audio/video*
files that are not supported or cannot be played,
or the functionality may be limited under certain
circ umstances.
Copyright: Please note that copyright law applies
to audio/video* files.
The MMI media drives do not support ORM-pro­
tected files; these files are marked with the sym­
bol ffi.
Data storage: Never store important data on SD
cards, the jukebox*, CDs/DVDs or mobile devices.
Audi shall not accept any liability whatsoever for
the loss of files and media.
Loading times: The more files, folders or play­
lists are stored on a storage device, the longer it
will take to load the audio files/video* files. We
recommend using a storage device which con­
tains only audio/video* files. If you want to re­
duce the time it takes to load the audio/video*
files, you can create subfolders (e.g. for an artist
or album). The loading time will be extended ad­
ditionally if you are importing data.
Metadata: Metadata stored on audio files (e.g.
artists, tracks, album covers) will be displayed
automatically when the files are played. If this in­
formation is not stored on the relevant medium,
the MMI system will use the database of metada-
168 ta
from Gracenote. Nevertheless, metadata may
not be displayed in some cases.
Restricted performance: If you experience re­
stricted performance, reset the Media settings
to the factory defaults ¢ page 187.
If you experience restricted performance from
the Jukebox*, reset it to the factory settings
¢page 187.
For information on the characteristics of the sup­
ported media and file formats, please refer to
¢ page 177 onwards.
CD/DVD mode
CD/DVD and format limitations: In view of the
variety of CDs/DVDs and the difference in memo­
ry capacities, the functionality may be restricted
in the case of some storage devices. Under cer­
tain circumstances, audio CDs/video DVDs that
are copy-protected or CDs/DVDs that do not com­
ply with the standard audio format, and multi­
session CDs cannot be played at all, or the func­
tionality may be limited. We recommend always
finalising the burning process when creating mul­
tisession CDs. Multisession is not supported for
DVDs.
Handling CDs/DVDs, the CD drive or the DVD
drive: To ensure perfect, high-quality playback
and avoid scanning errors or damage to the me­
dia drive, always store CDs/DVDs in a suitable
case and do not expose them to direct sunlight.
Do not use:
- Damaged, dirty or scratched CDs/DVDs
- Single CDs/DVDs (diameter 8 cm / 3 inches)
- Non-circular CDs/DVDs (shape CDs)
- CDs/DVDs with stickers
- Protective rings
- Cleaning discs
Thermal cut-out: In the case of unusually hot or
cold outside temperatures, it is possible that CD/
DVD playback will temporarily not be possible. A
thermostat switch is installed to protect the CD/
DVD and the reading laser.
Laser devices: Laser devices are divided into the
safety classes 1 to 4, as specified by DIN IEC 76
..,.

Fuel Petrol grade
Applies to vehicles: with petrol engine
The correct grade of petrol is listed inside the
fuel tank flap.
The vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter
and must only be run on unleaded petrol. The
petrol must comply with the EN 228 or DIN
51626-1 standard and must be sulphur-free. You
can fuel your vehicle with fuels containing a max­
imum of 10% ethanol (ElO). The petrol grades
have different octane ratings (RON).
The following headings relate to the sticker on
the inside of your vehicle's tank flap:
Unleaded fuel only RON/ROZ 95 Super,
Premium or min. RON/ROZ 91 Normal
The use of premium petrol (95 RON) is recom­
mended. If that type of fuel is not available, reg­
ular petrol (RON 91) can be used with a slight
loss of power.
Unleaded fuel only, min. RON/ROZ 95 Super,
Premium
Premium petrol (at least 95 RON) must be used.
If premium petrol is not available, the engine can
be run on regular petrol with 91 RON as an emer­
gency measure. In this case only use moderate
engine speeds and a light throttle. Fill up with
premium or Super Plus petrol as soon as possi­
ble.
Unleaded fuel only RON/ROZ 98 Super Plus
or min. RON/ROZ 95 Super, Premium
The use of Super Plus petrol (98 RON) is recom­
mended. If that type of fuel is not available, pre­
mium petrol (RON 95) can be used with a slight
loss of power.
If premium petrol is not available, the engine can
� be
run on regular petrol with 91 RON as an emer-
>
� gency
measure. In this case only use moderate

ble.
CD CAUTION
- Do NOT fuel your vehicle with high-ethanol
fuel blends (e.g. ESQ or E85). This will dam­
age the fuel system.
- Just one tank of leaded fuel or fuel with
metallic additives will permanently impair
the efficiency of the catalytic converter.
- You should use only petrol additives which
have been approved by Audi. Additives with
so-called octane boosters or antiknock addi­
tives can contain metallic additives that
cause significant damage to the engine and
the catalytic converter. Do not use such ad­
ditives.
- Metal-based fuels, which can be identified
from the marking on the fuel dispenser,
must not be used. LRP fuel (lead replace­
ment petrol) also contains high concentra­
tions of metallic additive. Risk of engine
damage!
- High engine speed and full throttle can
damage the engine when using petrol with
an octane rating lower than the correct
grade for the engine.
«'.D Note
- You can use higher octane fuel than your en­
gine requires.
- In countries where sulphur-free fuel is not
available, you may use low-sulphur fuel in­
stead.
Diesel fuel
Applies to vehicles: with diesel engine
Please note the information on the inside of the
fuel tank flap.
The use of sulphur-free diesel to EN 590 is rec­
ommended. If that type of fuel is unavailable,
diesel to EN 590 can be used. It must have ace­
tane number (CN) of at least 51. The cetane
number indicates the ignition quality of the die-
sel fuel.

.... Wheels
and tyres
Wheels General notes
... Inspect the tyres regularly for damage (cuts,
cracks or blisters, etc.). Remove any foreign
bodies embedded in the treads.
... If you have to drive over a kerb or similar obsta­
cle, drive very slowly and as near as possible at
a right angle to the kerb.
... Damaged rims or tyres must be replaced imme­
diately.
... Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.
... Mark
the wheels before taking them off so that
they rotate in the same direction when refitted.
... When removed, the wheels should be stored
flat in a cool, dry and preferably dark place.
CD CAUTION
- Please note that summer and winter tyres
are optimised for the prevailing road condi­
tions at different times of year. We recom­
mend that you use winter tyres during the
winter months. At low temperatures, sum­
mer tyres lose their elasticity and grip, and
braking performance also suffers as a re­
sult. Cracks can form in the tread block on
summer tyres if they are used at very cold
temperatures, and this can cause perma­
nent damage to the tyres. An increase in
rolling noise and tyre imbalance may result
from this damage.
- Machined, polished or chrome-plated rims
must not be used in winter conditions. The
process used to manufacture these types of
wheel rim does not provide adequate sur­
face protection against corrosion, and the
rims can be permanently damaged by road
salt or similar.
New wheels or tyres
It is best to have all servicing of wheels and tyres
performed by a qualified workshop, since they
have the necessary special tools and replacement
parts and trained personnel. Wheels
and tyres
... New tyres do not yet give maximum grip. When
driving with new tyres, drive at moderate
speeds and be especially careful during the first
500 km.
... All four wheels must be fitted with tyres of the
same type, size (rolling circumference) and
preferably the same tread pattern.
... Tyres should be replaced in pairs and not indi­
vidually (i.e. both front tyres or both rear tyres
together).
... We recommend the use of Audi Genuine Tyres.
If you wish to use other tyres, please note that
the actual size can differ from the nominal size
marked on the tyre ¢.&_
.
... If you wish to purchase a different combination
of rims and tyres than the ones fitted on the ve­
hicle during production, it is advisable to con­
sult a qualified workshop beforehand ¢.&_
.
On vehicles with four-wheel drive, all four wheels
must always be fitted with tyres of the same
type, make and tread pattern, as otherwise the
driveline can be damaged by variations in the
wheel speeds. For the same reason, only use a
spare wheel* which has the same rolling circum­
ference as the normal road wheels.
If the spare wheel* is not the same type as the
tyres fitted on the car (for example if the car has
winter tyres or wide-section tyres) you should on­
ly use the spare wheel* if a puncture occurs, and
then only for a short period of time. In this case,
please drive with extra care. Refit a normal road
wheel as soon as possible.
Manufacturing date
The manufacturing date is indicated on the tyre
sidewall (possibly only on the inner side of the
wheel):
DOT ... 2214 ...
means, for example, that the tyre was produced
in the 22nd week of 2014.
Audi Genuine Tyres
Audi Genuine Tyres with the marking "AO" or
"RO" are specially matched to your Audi. When
used properly, these tyres meet the highest
standards in safety and handling. Your specialist
retailer will be glad to provide more information . ..,..

possible to tighten the bolts to the re­
quired torque using the hexagonal socket -
risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
When removing/fitting the wheel the rim may
hit and damage the brake disc. For this rea­
son, please take care and get a second person
to assist you.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
A directional tread pattern can be identified by
arrows on the sidewall that point in the direction
of rotation. Always note the direction of rotation
indicated when mounting the wheel. This is im­
portant so that these tyres can give maximum
grip and avoid excessive noise, tread wear and
aquaplaning.
If you ever have a puncture and need to fit the
spare wheel* in the wrong direction, please drive
with extra care because the tyre will not give op­
timum performance in this situation. Bear this in
mind particularly when driving on wet roads.
To benefit from the advantages of tyres with this
type of tread pattern, the defective tyre should
be replaced and refitted as soon as possible so
that all tyres again rotate in the correct direction.
After changing a wheel
.,. Fit the hubcap or wheel bolt caps back on, as
required.
