Media
Introduction
There are various media drives and connections
available in the MM!. You can play, for example,
audio/video files from the Jukebox* or connect
your mobile device to the Audi music interface*
and operate it through the MM!.
Notes
General information
Media and format restrictions: the MMI (includ­
ing the SD card reader and th e USB storage de­
vice
connecti on*) was tested w it h a variety of
products and media on the market. However,
there may be cases where individual devices or
media and audio/video* files may not be recog­
n ized,
may play only with restrictions or may not
play at all.
Digital Rights Management: please note that
the audio/video* files are subject to copyright
protection.
The
media drives do not play files that are pro­
tected by ORM and that are identified with the
symbol~.
Data security: never store important data on SD
cards, the Jukebox*, CDs/DVDs or mobile devices.
Audi
AG is not responsible for damaged or lost
files and media.
Loading times: the more files/folders/playlists
that are on a storage medium, the longer it will
take to load the audio/video files*. Audi recom­
mends using storage media that only contain au­
d io/video files*. To decrease the time it takes to
load audio/video files*, create subfolders (for ex­
ample, for the artist or album). The loading time
will also increase when importing files.
Additional information: when playing, audio
files are automatically displayed with any addi­
tional information that is stored (such as the ar­
tist, track and album cover). If this information is
not available on the storage medium, the MMI
will check
the Gracenote metadata database .

A WARNING
Improper care, servicing and repair proce­
dures can increase the risk of personal injury
and death by preventing an airbag from de­
ploying when needed or deploying an airbag
unexpectedly:
- 1
-Never cover, obstruct, or change the steer­
ing wheel horn pad or airbag cover or the in­
strument panel or modify them in any way.
- Never
attach any objects such as cup holders
or telephone mountings to the surfaces cov­
ering
the airbag units.
- For cleaning
the horn pad or instrument
panel, use only a soft, dry cloth or one mois­
tened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners
could damage the airbag cover or change
the stiffness or strength of the material so
that the airbag cannot deploy and protect
properly.
- Never repair,
adjust, or change any parts of
the airbag system.
-All work on the steering wheel, instrument
panel, front seats or electrical system (in­
cluding
the installation of audio equipment,
cellular telephones and CB radios, etc.)
must be performed by a qualified technician
who has the training and special equipment
necessary.
- For any work on
the airbag system, we
strongly recommend that you see your au­
thorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop.
- Never modify
the front bumper or parts of
the vehicle body.
- Always
make sure that the side airbag can
inflate without interference:
- Never install
seat covers or replacement
upholstery over the front seatbacks that
have not been specifically approved by
Audi.
- Never
use additional seat cushions that
cover the areas where the side airbags in­
flate.
Airbag system
-Damage to the original seat covers or to
the seam in the area of the side airbag
module must always be repaired immedi­
ately by an authorized Audi dealer.
-The airbag system can deploy only once. Af­
ter an airbag has been deployed, it must be
replaced with new replacement parts de­
signed and approved especially for your
Audi
model version. Replacement of com­
plete airbag systems or airbag components
must be performed by qualified workshops
only. Make sure that any airbag service ac­
tion is
entered in your Audi Warranty &
Maintenance booklet under AIRBAG RE­
PLACEMENT RECORD.
-For safety reasons in severe accidents, the
alternator and starter are separated from
the vehicle battery with a pyrotechnic circuit
interrupter.
-Work on the pyrotechnic circuit interrupt­
er must only be performed by a qualified
technicians who have
the experience, in­
formation and special tools necessary to
perform the work safely.
-
If the vehicle or the circuit interrupter is
scrapped, all applicable safety precautions
must be followed.
@ For the sake of the environment
Undeployed airbag modules and pretension­
ers might be classified as Perchlorate Materi­
al -special handling may apply, see
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlo­
rate. When the vehicle or parts of the re­
straint system including airbag modules and
safety belts with pretensioners are scrapped,
all applicable laws and regulations must be
observed. Your authorized Audi dealer is fa­
miliar
with these requirements and we recom­
mend that you have your dealer perform this
service for you.
Other things that can affect Advanced
Airbag performance
Changing the vehicle's suspension system can
change the way that the Advanced Airbag System
performs in a crash. For example, using tire-rim ..,.

208 as applicable at the time your vehicle 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 criteria are intended to
reduce the risk of injury through interaction with
the airbag that can occur, for example, by being
too close to the steering wheel and instrument
panel when the airbag inflates. In addition, the
system has been certified to comply with the
"suppression" requirements of the Safety Stand­
ard, to turn off the front airbag for infants up to
12 months who are restrained on the front pas­
senger seat in child restraints that are listed in
the Standard.
Even though your vehicle is equipped with an Ad­
vanced Airbag
system, all children, 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 potentially dangerous place for a
child
to ride. The front seat is not the safest place
for a child
in a forward-facing child safety seat. It
can be a very dangerous place for an infant or a
larger child in a rearward-facing seat.
The vehicle's Advanced Airbag System has a ca­
pacitive
passenger detection system in the front
passenger seat cushion that can detect the pres­
ence of a baby or a child in a ch ild restraint sys­
tem on this seat.
The capacitiv e passenger detection system regis ­
ters the changes that resul t in an electrical field
when a ch ild , a child restraint, and a baby blanket
are on the front passenger seat. The change in
the measured capacitance due to the presence of
a child, a child restraint, and a baby blanket on
the front passenger seat is related to the child
restraint system resting on the seat. The meas­
ured capacitance of a child restraint system var­
ies
depending on the type of system and specific
make and model.
The electrical capacitance of the various types,
makes, and models of child restraints specified
by
the U.S.National Highway Traffic Safety Ad-
214
ministration (NHTSA) in the relevant safety
standard are stored in the Advanced Airbag Sys­
tem control unit together with the capacitances
typical 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 front airbag
system
Regardless of the child restraint that you use,
make sure that it has been certified to meet Unit­
ed States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
and ha s been certified by its manufacture r for
use with a n airbag. Always be sur e that the child
restraint is properly installed at one of the rear
seating positions. If in exceptional circumstances
you must use it on the front passenger seat, care­
fully
read all of the information on child safety
and Advanced Airbags and heed all of the appli­
cable WARNINGS. Make certain that the child
and child restraint are correctly recognized by the
capacitive passenger detection system in the
front passenger seat, that the front passenger
airbag is turned off, and that the airbag status is
always correctly si
gnaled by the PASSENGER AI R
BAG OFF light.
Many types and models of child restraints have
been available over the years, new models are in­
troduced regularly incorporating new and im­
proved
designs a nd older models are taken out of
production. Child restraints are not standardized .
Child
restraints of the same type typically have
different weights and sizes and different "foot­
pr ints", the size and shape of the bottom of the
child restraint that sits on the seat, when they
are installed on a vehicle seat. These differences
make it virtually impossible to certify compliance
with the requirements for advanced airbags with
each
and every child restraint that has ever been
sold in the past or will be sold over the course of
the useful life of your vehicle.
For
this reason, the United States Nat ional High­
way Traffic
Safety Administration has published a ..,_

-Before changing your oil, first make sure
you know where you can properly dispose of
the used oil.
- Always
dispose of used engine oil properly.
Do not dump it on garden soil, wooded
areas, into open streams or down sewage

Coo Ling 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
q uires
little attention.
The cooling
system has been filled at the factory
with a
permanent coolant which does not need to
be changed. The coolant consists of a mixture of
specially conditioned water and the manufactur­
er's glycol-based coolant additive G13 antifreeze
with anticorrosion additives (50% for USA mod­
els; 60% for Canadian models). This mixture
both assures the necessary frost protection and
protects metal components in the engine's cool­
ing
system from corrosion and scaling. It also
raises
the boiling point of the coolant.
Do not reduce the concentrat ion of the coolant in
the summer by addi ng p la in water. The propor­
tion of coolant additive must be at least 50°/o
but not more than 60°/o to maintain antifreeze
protection and cooling efficiency. If the coolant
frost protection is too low, the coolant could
freeze and damage the vehicle heating and en­
gine cooling system.
For year-round driving,
antifreeze is added at the
factory for temperatures down to:
- -
31 °F ( -35 °C) USA
- -40 °F ( -40 °C) Canada.
242
If you must add coolant, use a mixture of water
and coolant additive. Mixing the coolant additive
with distilled
water is recommended.
A WARNING
~ h . Before you check anything in t e engine com-
partment, always read and heed all WARN­
INGS C)page 236.
CD Note
-Before winter sets in, have the coo lant
checked to see if the coolant additive in you r
vehicle is
sufficient to meet the climate con­
d itions. This is especia l
ly important if you
live
in a regio n where the winter is extre m e­
ly cold . If necessary, increase the proportion
o f coo la
nt ad ditive to 60o/o.
-When add ing coolant additive to your cool­
ing
system, remember:
-We recommend using only coolant addi­
tive G12++
or G13 (check the label) for
your vehicle. This coolant additive is avail­
able at authorized Audi dealers. Other
types of antifreeze can significantly re­
duce corrosion protection. The resulting
corrosion can cause a loss of coolant and
serious engine damage.
-Do not add any type of radiator leak sealant
to your vehicle's engine coolant. Adding ra­
dia to r repair fluid may adversely
affect the
func tion and performance of your cooling
system and could result in damage not cov ­
ered by your New Veh icle Limited W arranty .
Adding coolant

-The auxiliary radiator fan switches on auto­
matically when the engine coolant reaches a
certain temperature and will continue to run
until the coolant temperature drops.
Brake fluid
Checking brake fluid level
Fig. 188 Engine compartment: cover on the brake fluid
reservoir
Before you check anything in the engine compart­
ment, always read and heed all WARNINGS
¢page 236.
~ Read the brake fluid level from the brake fluid
reservo ir ¢ fig. 188, ¢page 238, fig. 184. The
brake fluid level must be between the "MIN"
and "MAX" markings.
The location
of the brake fluid reservoir can be
seen in the engine compartment illustration
¢page238.
The fluid level may drop slightly after some time
due to the automatic adjustment of the brake
pads. This is not cause for alarm.
If the brake fluid level falls considerably below
the "MIN" mark, the brake warning/indicator
light .. (U.S. models) I. (Canadian models)
will come on ¢ page 11. Do not continue to oper­
ate the vehicle. The complete brake system
should be thoroughly checked by an authorized
Audi dealer or other qualified facility and the
cause corrected. Ifthe brake fluid level is too
low, the brake warning/indicator light will illumi­
nate. Contact an authorized Audi dealer immedi­
ately.
244
Changing brake fluid
Have the brake fluid changed by an experienced
technician .
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air. If the
water content in the brake fluid is too high, cor­
rosion in
the brake system may result after ape­
riod of time. The boiling point of the brake fluid
will
also decrease considerably and decrease
braking performance.
Therefore, the brake fluid must be changed every
two years. Always use new brake fluid which con­
forms to Federal Motor Vehicle Standard "FMVSS
116 DOT 4".
The brake fluid reservoir can be difficult to reach,
therefore, we recommend that you have the
brake fluid changed by your authorized Audi
dealer. Your dealer has the correct tools, the
right brake fluid and the know-how to do this for
you.
8._ WARNING
- Brake fluid is poisonous. It must be stored
only in the closed original container out of
the reach of children!
-Brake failure can result from old or inappro­
priate brake fluid. Observe these precau­
tions:
-Use only brake fluid that meets SAE speci­
fication
J 1703 and conforms to Federal
Motor Vehicle Standard 116. Always check
with
your authorized Audi dealer to make
sure you are using the correct brake fluid.
The
correct type of brake f lui d is also ind i­
cated on the brake fluid reservoir .
- The
brake fluid must be new. Heavy use of
the brakes can cause a vapor lock if the
brake fluid is left in the system too long.
This
can seriously affect the efficiency of
the brakes as well as your safety. This
could
result in an accident.
