_& WARNING
- T urn the engine off.
- Switch the ign ition off .
- Set the parking brake .
- Place the selector lever in the P pos ition.
- let the engine cool down.
- Never open the hood when there is steam or coolant escaping from the engine compart­
ment, because there is a risk that you could
be burned . Wait until no steam or coolant is
escaping .
- Keep ch ildren away from the engine com­
partment .
- Never spill flu ids on a hot engine. These flu­
ids (such as the freeze protection contained
in the coolant) can catch fire .
- Avoid short circu its in the electrical system,
especially to the battery .
- When working in the engine compartment,
remember that the rad iator fan can sw itch
on even if the ign ition is switched off, which
increases the risk of pe rsonal injury .
- Never open the cap on the coolant expan­ sion tank when the eng ine is warm. The
cooling system is under pressu re .
- To protect your face, hands, and arms from
hot steam or coolant, cover the cap with a
large cloth when opening.
- Do not remove the engine cover under any
circumstances. This increases the risk of
burns.
- If tests need to be performed w ith the en­
gine running, there is additional danger d ue
244
to moving components (such as the ribbed
be lt, alternator and rad iator fan) and from
the high voltage ignition system.
- Do not press the acce lerator pedal inadver­
tently if a gear is selected when the vehicle
is stationary and the engine is running. Oth­
erwise, the vehicle will start to move imme ­
diately and this could result in an accident .
- Pay attent ion to the following warnings list­
ed when work on the fuel system or on the
electrical equipment is required.
- Do not smoke .
- Never work near open flames .
- Always have a working fire extinguisher
nearby
- All work on the battery or elect rical system
in your vehicle can result in injuries, chemi­
cal b urns, acc idents or burns . Because of
this, all work must be performed
onl y by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
- To reduce the risk o f electric shock and in ­
jury, never touch the following components
when the engine is running or is being start•
ed:
- Ign ition cable
- Other components in the electronic high -
vo ltage ign ition system
- If you must check or perform work on the
engine while it is running:
- Set the parking brake and place the selec­
tor lever in the P (park) position first .
- Always proceed w ith extreme caution so
that clothing, jewelry or long hair do not
become caught in the radiator fan, fan
belt or other moving components or do
not come into contact with hot compo­
nents. Tie back long hair before beginn ing
work and do not wear clothing that can hang down into the engine .
- Lim it your exposure to exhaust and chemi­
cals to as short a time as possible
¢ .&. .
A WARNING
California Proposition 65 Warning:

Using the proper engine oil is important for the
functionality and s ervice life of the engine. Your
engine was factory-filled with a high -quality oil
which can usually be used throughout the entire
year .
Note
Your Limited New Vehicle Warranty does not
cover damage or malfunctions due to failure
to follow recommended maintenance and use
requirements as set forth in the Audi Owner's Manual and Warranty & Maintenance booklet .
- Use only a high quality engine oil that ex-
pressly complies with the Aud i oil quality
standard specified for your vehicle's engine.
Using any o ther oil can cause serious engine
damage.
- Do not mix any lubricants o r other additives
into the engine oil. Doing so can cause en­
gine damage.
@ Tips
If you need to add oil and there is none availa­
ble that meets the Audi o il quality standard
your eng ine requ ires, you may add a total of
no more than 0 .5 qt (0,5 l) of a h igh-quali ty
"synthet ic"oil that meets the following speci ­
fications.
- ACEA A3 or API SM with a v iscosity grade o f
SAE OW-30, SAE SW -30 or SAE SW-40.
- Fo r more information abou t engine o il t ha t
has been approved for your vehicle, please
contact either your authorized Audi dea ler
or Audi Custome r Relat ions at
1 (800) 822-2834 or visit our web site at
www.audiusa.com or www.audican ada.ca .
Engine oil consumption
T he engine in your vehicle depends on an ade­
qua te amoun t of oil to lubricate and cool all of
i t s moving par ts.
In order to provide effective lub rication and coo l­
ing of in te rnal engine components, a ll internal
~ combustion engines consume a cer tain amount
;:::: of oil. Oil consumption varies from engine to en-
" ~ gine and may change sign ificantly over the life of 0
~ the eng ine . Typically, eng ines with a spec ified c:o
Ch eck ing and Filling
break-in period (see ¢ page 55) consume more
oi l during th e break-in period than they consume
after oil consumption has stabilized.
Under normal cond itions, the rate of oil con­
sumption depends on the q uality and viscos ity o f
the oil , the RPM (revolutions per minut e) at
which the engine is operated, the amb ient tem­
perature and road condit ions. Further factors are
the amount of oil dilution from w ater condensa­
tion or fuel resid ue and the oxidation level of the
o il. As any engine is subject to wear as mileage
builds up, the oi l consumption may increase ove r
t ime unt il repla cement of worn components may
become necessary.
With al l these variables coming into play, no
standard rate of o il consumption can be estab­
l ished or spec ified . T he re is no alte rnative to reg­
u la r and fre quent chec king of the o il level , see
Note .
If the yellow engine oil level warning symbo l II
in the instrument cluster lights up , you sho uld
check the o il level as soon as possible
¢
page 248 . Top off the o il at your earliest con­
venience ¢
page 248.
A WARNING
Before you check anything in the engine com­
partment, always read and heed all WARN­
INGS¢
page 244 .
(D Note
Driving with an insufficient oil level is likely to
cause severe damage to the engine.
(D Tips
- The oil pressure warning display. is not
an indicator of the oil le vel. Do not rely on
it . Instead, check the oil level in your en·
gine at regular intervals , preferabl y each
time you refuel, and always befo re going
on a long trip.
- If you have the impression your engine con­
sumes excessive amounts of oil, we recom­
mend that you consult an author ized Audi
dea ler to have the cause of your concern
prope rly diagnosed . Keep in mind that the .,,.

Wheels and Tires
General information
.,.Check your tires regularly for
damage (punctures, cuts, cracks
and bulges). Remove foreign ob­
jects from the tire tread.
.,. If driving over curbs or similar
obstacles, drive slowly and ap­
proach the curb at an angle.
.,.Have faulty tires or rims re­
placed immediately.
"'Protect your tires from oil,
grease and fuel.
.,.M ark tires before removing
them so that the same running
direction can be maintained if
they are reinstalled.
"'Lay tires flat when storing and
store them in a cool, dry location
with as little exposure to light as
possible.
(D Note
-Please note that summer and
winter tires are designed for
the conditions that are typical in those seasons. Audi recom­
mends using winter tires dur­
ing the winter months. Low
temperatures significantly de­ crease the elasticity of summ­
er tires, which affects traction
Wheels
and braking ability. If summer
tires are used in very cold
temperatures, cracks can form
on the tread bars, resulting in
permanent tire damage that
can cause loud driving noise
and unbalanced tires.
-Burnished, polished or
chromed rims must not be
used in winter driving condi­
tions. The surface of the rims
does not have sufficient corro­
sion protection for this and
could be permanently dam­ aged by road salt or similar
substances.

the risk of an accident. Read and follow the important safe­
ty precautions in ¢ page 267,
Tires and vehicle load limits.
-The tire must flex more if the tire pressure is too low or if
the vehicle speed or load are
too high. This heats the tire up
too much. This increases the risk of an accident because it
can cause the tire to burst and
result in loss of vehicle con­
trol.
- Incorrect tire pressure in­
creases tire wear and has a
negative effect on driving and

creases the risk of an accident.
(D Note
Replace lost valve caps to re­
duce the risk of damage to the
tire valves.
@ For the sake of the environment
Tire pressure that is too low in­
creases fuel consumption.
(D Tips
Audi recommends using the
tire pressure specified for a normal load

or for a full load
when the vehicle is partially
loaded.
Make sure that the tire designa­
tion on your tire matches the des­
ignation on the tire pressure label
and the tire pressure table.

Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of
load or weight that any vehicle
and any tire can carry. A vehicle
that is overloaded will not handle
well and is more difficult to stop. Overloading can not only lead to
loss of vehicle control, but can al­
so damage important parts of the
vehicle and can lead to sudden

rims yourse lf, because this increases the risk
of an accident.
Winter tires
W inter tire s significan tly improve the vehicle 's
handling when driving in w inter condi tions. Be­
cause of the ir construction (width, compound,
tread pattern) , summe r tires p rovide less trac­
tion o n ice and snow.
.. Use w inter t ires o n all four wheels .
.. Only use w inter t ires that are approved for your
vehicle .
.. Please note that the maximum permitted
speed may be lower with winter tires
¢ & -An
a utho riz ed Aud i dea le r o r authorized Audi Serv­
ice Facility can inform you about the maximum
permitted speed fo r you r tires.
.. Check the tire pr essu re after installing whee ls
¢ page 265.
The effectiveness of winter tires is reduced great ­
ly whe n the tread is wor n down to a depth of
0 .157 in (4 mm). The character istics of winter
tires also decrease great ly as the tire ages, re­
gardless of the remaining tread.
A WARNING
- Never dr ive faste r than the maxim um per ­
mitted speed for your t ires . This cou ld cause
the tires to heat up too much. This increases
t h e risk of an a cciden t be ca use i t can c ause
t h e tire to burst.
- Always adapt yo ur driv ing to t he r oad and
t ra ffic conditions. Drive ca refully and red uce
yo ur sp eed on icy or slippery roads. Even
winte r tires can lose traction on black ice .
@ For the sake of the environment
Reinstall su mme r tir es at the approp ria te
t ime, because they provide bet ter ha ndling
when ro ads are free of snow a nd ice. S ummer
t ires cause less road noise, ti re wea r and fuel
consumption.

(D Tips
You can also use a ll season tires instea d of
winter tires . Please note that in some coun­
tries where winter tires are required, on ly
winter tires w it h the
& symbol may be per­
mitted.
' Snow chains
S now cha ins not on ly improve the driv ing in win­
te r road cond it io ns, but a lso the b raking .
.. On ly install snow chai ns on the front wheels .
T his applies also to vehicles with all wheel
dr ive*.
.. Check and co rrect t he seating of the snow
chains after driving a few feet, if nece ssary. Fol­
low t he inst ructions from the m anufac turer.
.. Note the max imum speed of 3 0 mph (50 km/
h). Note the local regulations.
U se of snow c hains is only permitte d wit h cert ain
rim/ tire comb inat ions due to technical reasons.
Check with a n authorized Audi dealer or author ­
i zed Audi Service Facility to see if you may use
snow chains.
You m ust remove the snow chains on roads wi th­
out snow . Otherwise, you co uld impair driving
ability and damage the t ires .
A WARNING
Using incor rect snow chains or installing snow
cha ins incor rectly can result in loss of vehicle
control, which increases the risk of an acci­
dent .
(D Note
-Snow chains can damage the rims/wheel
covers* if the c hains come into direct con­
tact with them. Remove the w heel covers *
first . Use coated snow cha ins .
- Us ing snow c hains that add more tha n 0.53
