sensor AUDI TT ROADSTER 2015 Owner's Manual

typical 1 year-old chi ld, the Advanced Airbag
System compares the weig ht meas ured by the
weight sensing mat with t he informat ion stor­
ed in the electron ic control unit.
The electronic control unit a lso registers the
tension on the front passenger safety be lt.
The tens ion on the safety belt for the front
passenger seat will be different for an adult
who is properly using the safety belt as com­
pared to the tension on the be lt when it is
used to attach a child restraint to the seat.
The sensor below the latch for the safety be lt
for the front seat passenger measu res the
tension on the be lt. T he inp ut from this sen­
sor is then used with the we igh t to "decide",
whether there is a chi ld restraint with a typica l
1 year-old child o n the front passenger seat
and whether or not the airbag must be turned
off.
Child restraints and Advanced Airbags
Regardless of the child restraint that you use,
make sure that it has been ce rtified to meet
United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standa rds and has been certified by its manu­
facture r fo r u se wi th a n air bag. If in excep­
tional c ircu ms tances you m ust use it on the
front passenger seat, caref ully read all of the
i n formation on c hild safety and Advanced Air­
bags and heed all of the app licable WARN­
INGS. Make certain that the child restraint is
correctly recognized by the weig ht-sensing
mat inside the front passenger seat, that the
fro nt passenger airbag is tur ned off and that
the airbag status is a lways correctly signaled
by the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light.
Many types and models of child restra ints
h ave been ava ilable over the years, new mod­
e ls are introduced regularly incorporating new
and improved designs a nd older models a re
t aken out of p rod uction. Child restrain ts are
not standardized . Ch ild restra ints o f the same
type typically have different weights and sizes
and diffe rent 'footprints,' the size and shape
of the bottom of the child restraint that sits
on the seat, when they are installed on a vehi­
cle seat. These differences make it virtually
Child Sa fet y 131
impossible to certify comp liance with the re ­
quirements for advanced airbags with eac h
and every child restra int that has ever been
sold in the past or will be sold over the course
of the useful life of your veh icle.
Fo r th is reason, the United States National
Highway Traffic Safety Adm inistrat ion has
published a list of spec ific type, makes and
models of child restraints that must be used
to certify compliance of the Advanced Airbag
System i n your veh icle with the suppression
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 208. These child re straints are:

154 Vehicle care and cleaning
Vehicle care and
cleaning
General information
Regular, proper care helps to maintain your
vehicle 's value. It can also be a requirement
when subm itting warranty claims for corro ­
sion damage and paint defects on the body .
The required cleaning and care products can be obtained from your authorized Audi dealer
or a qualified workshop. Read and follow the instructions for use on the packaging .
A WARNING
-Us ing cleaning and care products incor­
rectly can be dangerous to your hea lth .
- Always store cleaning and care products
out of reach of children to reduce the ris k
of poisoning.
@ For the sake of the environment
-Preferably use environmentally-friendly
products when buying cleaning agents .
- Do not d ispose of leftover cleaning and
ca re products with household trash .
Car washes
-
The longer that deposits such as insects, bird
droppings , tree sap or road salt rema in on the
vehicle, the more the surface can be dam­
aged. High temperatures such as those
caused by s unligh t increase the corrosive ef­
fect.
Before washing, wet heavy deposits with plen­
ty of water.
Also, wash the underside of your vehicle once
road salt stops be ing used for the season .
Pressure wa shers
When washing your vehicles with a pressure
washer, always follow the operating instruc­
tions provided w ith the pressure washer. Th is
is especially important in regard to the pres ­
sure and spray ing distance . Do not aim the
spray directly at seals on side w indows, doors, the
hood, the rear lid or the convertible top or
at tires, rubber hoses, insulating material
orsensors* . Keep a distance of at least 16 in ­
ches (40 cm) .
Do not remove snow and ice with a pressure
washer.
Never use rotary nozzles or high pressure noz­
zles.
The water temperature must not be above
140
°F (60 °() .
Automatic car washes
Spray off the vehicle before washing.
Make sure that the windows are closed and
the windshie ld wipers are off. Follow instruc­
tions from the car wash operator, especially if
there are accessories attached to your vehicle .
If possible, use car washes that do not have
brushes .
Washing by hand
Clean the vehicle starting from the top and
working down using a soft sponge or cleaning
brush . Use solvent-free cleaning products.
Washing vehicles with matte finish paint
by hand
To avoid damaging the paint when washing,
first remove dust and large particles from
your vehicle. Insects, grease spots and finger­
prints are best removed with a special cleaner
for matte finish paint .
Apply the product using a microfiber cloth. To
avoid damaging the paint surface, do not use
too much pressure.
Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with water. Then
clean using a neutra l shampoo and a soft mi ­
crofiber cloth.
Rinse the vehicl e thoroughly again and let it
air dry. Remove any water residue using a sham my.
Stubbo rn deposits such as bird droppings o r
tree sap are best removed with p lenty of wa-
ter and a microfiber cloth. .,.

Vehicl e ca re a nd cl eanin g 155
& WARNING
-Only wash the vehicle when the ignition
is off and follow the instructions from
the car wash operator to reduce the risk
of accidents.
- To reduce the risk of cuts, protect your­
self from sharp meta l components when
washing the underbody or the inside of
the wheel housings.
- After washing the vehicle, the braking ef­
fect may be delayed due to moisture on
the brake rotors or ice in the winter . The
brakes must be dried first with a few
careful brake applicat ions .
{[) Note
-If you wash the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, you must retract the extend a­ ble rear spo iler* if necessary, and fold
the exte rior m irrors in to reduce the risk
of damage. Power folding exterior mir­ rors* must only be folded in and out us­
i ng the power folding function .
- To prevent pa int damage, do not wash
the veh icle in direct sunlight.
- To reduce the risk of damage, do not
wash the power top with a p ressure
washer. -
To reduce the r isk of damage, do not
wash decorative decals * with a pressure
washer.
- To reduce the risk of damage to the sur­
face, do not use insect removing spong­
es, kitchen sponges or similar items.
- Matte finish painted vehicle compo­
nents:
- To reduce the risk of damage to the
surface, do not use polishing agents or hard wax.
- Never use car wash cycles that apply
protective wax.
It can destroy the
matte fi nish effect.
- Do not place any stickers o r magnet ic
signs on vehicle parts painted w ith
matte fin ish paint. The paint cou ld be
damaged when the stickers o r magnets
are removed.
@ For the sake of the environment
Only wash the vehicle in facilities spec ia lly
designed for that purpose. This will reduce
the risk o f dirty water contaminated with
oil from entering t he sewer system.

172 Checking and filling
Checking the engine coolant level
The engine coolant level can be checked with
a quick glance.
F ig. 132 Eng ine compartme nt: cover on the coo lant
expansion tank
Before you check anything in the engine com­
partment,
a lway s read and he ed a ll WARN­
ING S o .A in Working in the engine compart­
ment on page 164.
., Park your vehicle on a level surface.
., Switch the ign ition
off .
., Read the coolant level at the coolant expan­
sion tank
opage 166, fig . 128. With a cold
engi ne, it must be above the "min" mark.
With a hot engine, it can be a l ittle above
the indicated range.
The location of the coolant expans ion tank
can be seen in the engine compartment illus­
tration
o page 166.
To obtain an accurate read ing, the eng ine
must be sw itched
off.
The expans ion tank in your vehicle is equipped
with an electric coolant level sensor.
When the coolant level is too low, the warning
light in the Auto-Check System
opage 17will
illum inate until you add coolant and the level
has been restored to normal. Even thoug h
there is an electric coolant level sensor, we
still recommend you check the coolant leve l
from time to t ime.
Coolant lo ss
Coolant loss may indicate a leak in the cooling
system. In the event of coolant loss, the cool­
ing system should be inspected immediately by your authorized Audi dea
ler .
It is not
enough merely to add coo lant .
In a
seal ed system, losses can occu r on ly if
the boi ling po int o f the coo lan t is exceeded as
a res ult of overheating.
(D Note
Do n ot add any type o f radiator leak se al­
ant to your veh icle's engine coo lant. Add ­
i ng radiator repa ir fl uid may adverse ly af ­
fect the functio n and performance of you r
cooling system and could result in damage
not cove red by your New Veh icle l imited
Warranty.
Adding coolant
Be very careful when adding engine coolant.
Before you check anyth ing in the engine com ­
partment,
a lways read and heed all WARN­
INGS o .A in Working in the engine compart­
ment on page 164.
Req uirement: There m ust be a res idual
amount of coo lant in the expansio n tank
o (D .
., Tur n off the engi ne .
., le t t he eng ine cool down.
., Place a thick rag ove r the coolant expansion
tank
o page 172, fig. 132 and carefully

remain continuous ly illuminated . This se ­
quence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the ma lfunction ex ists.
When the malfunct ion indicator is ill uminat­
ed, the system may not be able to detect or
signa l low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunct ions may occur for a variety of rea­
sons, including the installat ion of replace­
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the veh i­
cle that prevent the TPMS from funct io ni ng
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunct ion
tellta le afte r replacing one or more t ires or
wheels on your veh icle to ensure that the re­
p lacement or a lternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Tire pressure indicator appears
Applies to vehicles: with tire pressure monitoring system
The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too
low or if there is a system malfunction.
F ig. 1 41 Disp lay : under in fla tion warn ing
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure moni ­
toring system compares the t ire tread circum­
fe rence and vibration characteristics of the in­
d iv idual tires . If the pressure decreases in one
or mo re tires, th is is indicated in the instru­
ment clus ter with a warning symbol
[I] and a
message
'* fig. 141. The dr iver message in the
d isp lay goes out after 5 seconds . The driver
message can be d isplayed again by pressing
the
! CHECK I button @¢ page 10, fig . 3 . If on ­
ly one tire is affected, the display will indicate
its pos ition.
The ti re pressure monito ring m ust be reset in
the menu display each time the pressures are
ad justed (e.g. when switching between parti-
Tire s an d wheel s 199
al and fu ll load pressure) or after changing o r
replacing a tire on your vehicle '*
page 200.
The TPMS indicator on ly mon itors the t ire
pressure that you have previously stored . You
can f ind the recommended tire pressures for
your vehicle on the label on the driver's door
pillar ¢
page 184 .
Tire tread circumference and vibration charac­
teristics can change and cause a tire pressure
warning if:
- the t ire press ure in one or more tires is too
low,
- the tire has structural damage,
- the t ire press ure was changed, wheels rotat -
ed or rep laced but the TPMS was not reset
¢ page 200.
Warning symbo ls
[I] Loss of press ure in at least one tire'*& .
Check the tire or tires and rep lace or repa ir if
necessary . The indicator light
[I] in the instru ­
ment cluster a lso i lluminates

pre ssure! System malfun ction . Ifll appears
after switching the ign it ion on or while dr iving
and the indicator light
[I] in the instrument
clus ter blinks fo r approximately one m inute
and then stays on, there is a system malfunc ­
tion . Attemp t to store the correct t ire pres­
