page 246, fig . 189.
- Carefully add 0 .5 quart (0.5 liter) of the correct
oil ¢
page 246.
-Check the oil level again after two minutes .
- Add a smaller amount of engine oil if necessa-
ry . The marking @¢ fig. 190 must not be ex­
ceeded ¢Cl).
- Screw the engine oil filler cap
't'::71 and slide the
dipstick all the way in .
.&, WARNING
-When adding eng ine oi l, do not let o il d rip
on to hot engine components. Th is increases
t he risk of a fire.
- You must sea l the cap on the oi l filler open­
ing correct ly so that oi l does not leak out
onto the hot engine and exha ust system
when the engine is running, beca use this is
a fire hazard .
- Always clean skin thoroughly if it comes into
contact with engine oi l.
(D Note
- The engine o il level mus t not be under the
marking
(D ¢ fig. 190, because th is increas­
es the risk of engine dam age .
- After add ing engi ne oil, the oil leve l must
not be above the marking @¢
fig. 190, be­
cause this increases the risk of catalytic con­
verter and/or engine damage. Do not start
the engine. Contact an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility to
have excess engine oil extracted if necessa­
ry.
- Do not mix any add itional lubr icants into
the engine oil. Damage caused by such add i-
t ives is not covered by the warranty.

@ For the sa ke of the env ironment
- Engine oi l should never enter the sewer sys­
tem or come into contact with the ground
under any circumstances.
- Pay attention to legal requirements when
disposing of empty oil containers.
The engine oil consumption may be up to 0.5 quart/600 m iles (0.5 liter/1,000 km), de­
pending on driving style and operating condi­
tions. Consumption may be higher during the
first 3,000 miles (5,000 km). Because of this,
the engine oil level must be checked regular­ ly.
It would be best to check each time you re­
fue l your vehicle and before long dr ives.
Changing the engine oil
We recommend that have your oil changed by an
authorized Audi dealer or a qualified service sta­
tion.
Before you check anyth ing in the eng ine compart­
ment,
alw ays r ea d and heed all WARNINGS Q .&.
in Working in the engine compartment on
page 244.
The engine oil must be changed according to the
intervals specified in your Warranty
& Mainte­
n ance booklet. This is very important because the
l ubri cat ing propert ies of o il diminish gradually
d ur ing normal vehicle use.
Under some c ircumstances the eng ine o il should
be changed more frequently . Change oil more of­
ten if you d rive mostly short distances, ope rate
the vehicle in dusty areas or under predominant ly
stop-and -go traffic conditions, or have your vehi­
cle where temperatures remain below freezing
for extended periods.
Detergent additives in the oil will make fresh oil
l ook da rk after the engine has been running for a
short time. This is normal and is not a reason to
change the oil more often than recommended.
Because of the problem of p roper disposal, along
with the special tools and necessa ry expertise re­
qu ired, we strong ly recommend that you have
Ch eck ing and Filling
your oi l changed by an authorized Audi dealer or
a qualified service station .
If yo u choo se to ch ange yo ur oil your self, please
note the follow ing important info rmation:
A WARNING
=
To reduce the risk of persona l injury if you
must change the engine oil in your vehicle
yourself:
- Wear eye protect ion .
-
-To redu ce the r is k of burns from hot eng ine
oil, let the engine cool down to the touch.
- W hen remov ing the oil d rain plug w ith your
fingers, stay as far away as possib le. Always
keep your forearm parallel to the ground to
he lp prevent hot oil from running down your
arm.
- Drain the oil into a container designed for
this purpose, one la rge enough to hold at
least the tota l amount of oil in yo ur engine.
- Engine oil is poisonous. Keep it well out of
the reach of children.
- Continuous contact with used engine oil is
harmful to your skin. Always protect your
skin by washing oil off thoroughly with soap
and water.
(D Note
Never mix oil additives with your engine oil.
These additives can damage your engine and
adverse ly affect yo ur Audi Limited New Vehi­
cle Warranty.
@ For the sake of the environment
- Before chang ing yo ur oi l, first make sure
you know where you can properly d ispose of
the used oil.
- Always dispose of used engine o il properly.
Do not dump it on garden soil, wooded
areas, into open streams or down sewage
drains.
- Recycle used engine o il by tak ing it to a used
eng ine oil collection fac ility in your area, or
contact a service station .

and have the cooling system inspected. If the
cooling system is not leaking, a loss can come
from the coolant boiling through overheating
and being pushed out of the cooling system.
A WARNING
The cooling system is pressurized and can be­
come very hot . To reduce the risk of burns
from hot coolant:
- Do not open the coolant expansion tank cap when the eng ine is hot. This increases the
risk of burns.
- Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
- Protect your face, hands and arms from es-
caping coolant and steam by covering the
coolant tank cap with a large, thick cloth .
- Turn the coolant tank cap counterclockwise
slowly and keep light pressure on the cap .
- To reduce the risk of burns, do not allow any
antifreeze or coolant to drip onto the ex­
haust system or hot engine components .
The ethylene g lycol in engine coolant can
catch fire under certain circumstances.
- The coolant add itive and the coolant can be
dangerous to your health. For this reason,
keep the coolant in the original container
and away from children. There is a risk of
poisoning.
- When working in the engine compartment,
remember that the radiator fan can sw itch
on even if the ignition is switched off, which
increases the risk of injury.
(D Note
Do not add coolant if the expansion tank is
empty . Air could enter the cooling system and
damage the engine. If this is the case, do not
cont inue driving. See an authorized Audi deal­
er or authorized Audi Service Facility for assis­
tance.

ings
Q A .
The brake fluid level is monitored automatically.
Changing the brake fluid
Have the brake fluid changed regularly by an au­
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
.&_ WARNING
- If the brake fluid level is below the MIN
marking, it can impair the brak ing effect
and driving safety, which increase the risk of
an accident. Do not continue driving. See an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Serv ice Facility for assistance.
- If the brake fluid is old, bubbles may form
in the brake system during heavy braking.
This would impair braking performance and
driving safety, which increases the risk of an
accident .
- To ensure the brake system functions cor­
rectly, only use brake fluids that comply
with VW standard 501 14 or
FMVSS-116 DOT 4.

Checking and Filling
-Do not use a glass cleaner that contains
paint solvents, because this could damage
the pa int .
Service interval display
The service interval display detects when your ve­
hicle is due for service.
The service interva l display works in two stages:
- Inspection or oil change reminder: after a cer-
tain distance driven, a message appears in the
Infotainment system display each time the ig­
nition is switched on or off . The remaining dis­
tance or time is displayed briefly.
- Inspection or oil change due: if your vehicle
has reached an inspection or oi l change interval
or both intervals at the same time, the mes­
sage
Inspection due! or Oil change due! or Oil
change and inspection due!
appears briefly af­
ter switching the ignition on/off .
Checking service intervals
You can check the remaining distance or time un­
til the next oil change or next inspection. Select
in the Infotainment system: the !MENU ! button>

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.

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

Care and cleaning
wash operator to reduce the risk of acci­
dents.
- To reduce the risk of cuts, protect yourself
from sharp metal components when wash­ ing the underbody or the inside of the wheel
housings.
- After washing the vehicle, the braking effect
may be delayed due to moisture on the
brake rotors or ice in the winter. This in­
creases the risk of an accident. The brakes
must be dried first with a few careful brake
applications.
(D Note
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must retract the extendable rear
spoi ler* if necessary, and fold the exterior
mirrors in to reduce the risk of damage.
Power folding exterior mirrors* must only
be folded in and out using the power folding
function .
- To reduce the risk of paint damage, do not
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. -
To reduce the risk of damage to the surface,
do not use insect removing sponges, kitchen
sponges or similar items.
- Matte finish painted vehicle components:
- To reduce the risk of damage to the sur-
face, do not use polishing agents or hard
wax.
- Never use protective wax. It can destroy
the matte finish effect.
- Do not place any stickers or magnetic
signs on vehicle parts painted with matte
finish paint. The paint could be damaged
when the stickers or magnets are re­
moved.
@ For the sake of the environment
Only wash the veh icle in facilities spec ially de­
signed for that purpose. This will reduce the
risk of dirty water contaminated with oil from
entering the sewer system.
