-Always take the vehicle key with you when
leaving your vehicle, even for a short period
of time. This applies particularly when chil
dren remain in the vehicle. Otherwise chil
dren could start the engine, release the
parking brake or operate electrical equip
ment such as power windows, which in
creases the risk of an accident.
- No one should remain in the vehicle when it
is locked - especially children. Locked doors
make it more difficult for emergency work
ers to get into the vehicle, which puts lives
at risk.
(D Tips
When stopping at a traffic signal or stopping
in city traffic, you can set the parking brake
manually. The vehicle does not have to be
held with the brake pedal. The parking brake
eliminates the tendency to creep when a se
lector lever position is engaged. As soon as
you press the accelerator pedal, the parking brake releases automatically and your vehicle
starts to move ~page 63.
(D Tips
- Occasional noises when the parking brake is
set and released are normal and are not a
cause for concern.
- The parking brake goes through a self-test
cycle at regular intervals when the vehicle is
stopped. Any noises associated with this are
normal.
- If there is a power failure, the parking brake
will not set if it is released, and it will not
release if it is set
q Li::,.. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa
cility for assistance.
Starting from a stop
Various convenience and safety functions may be
available when the vehicle begins driving, de
pending on vehicle equipment.
Starting on hills with the parking brake set
Requirement: the driver's door must be closed.
Driving
.. To start driving comfortably when on a hill, set
the parking brake and begin driving as usual.
The braking force of the parking brake does not
release automatically until the wheels build up
enough driving force.
Starting on hills with hill hold assist
Hill hold assist makes it easier to start on hills.
Requirement: the driver's door must be closed
and the engine must be running.
.. To activate hill hold assist, press and hold the
brake pedal for several seconds. The vehicle
must be in an uphill direction of travel.
After releasing the brake pedal, the braking pow er is maintained for a brief moment
q & to pre
vent the vehicle from rolling back when starting .
During this time, you can easily begin to move
your vehicle.
& WARNING ~
App lies to: veh icles with hill hold assist
- If you do not begin driving immediately or
the engine stalls after releasing the brake
pedal, your vehicle may begin to roll back
ward. Press the brake pedal or set the park
ing brake immediately.
- The intelligent technology of hill hold assist
cannot overcome the limitations imposed by
natural physical laws. The increased comfort
offered by hill hold assist should not cause
you to take safety risks.
- Hill hold assist cannot hold the vehicle in
place on all hills (for example, if the ground
is slippery or icy).
- To reduce the risk of an accident, always
make sure the vehicle is situated safely
while stationary.

Check ing and F illing
Using the proper engine oil is impo rtant for the
functionality and service life of the engine. Your engine was facto ry-filled with a h igh-quality oi l
which can usually be used throughout the entire
year.
@) Note
Your Limited New Vehicle War ranty 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 Warran ty
& Maintenance booklet.
- Use only a high quality eng ine oil t hat ex-
p ressly complies with the Audi oil qua lity
standard specified for your vehicle's engine .
Using a ny o ther oil can cause serious engine
d am age.
- D o not mix any lubricants o r other addit ives
i nto the engine oil. Doing so ca n cause en
g ine damage.
(D Tips
I f you need to add oil and there is none availa

fications.
- AC EA A3 o r API SM wi th a viscosity grade o f
SAE 0W-30, SAE 5W-30 or SAE 5W-40.

Engine oil consumption
T he engine in your vehicle depends on an ade
quate amoun t of oil to lubricate and cool all of
i ts moving par ts.
In order to p rovide effective lubr ication and cool
ing of internal engine components, all interna l
combustion engines consume a cer tain amount
of oil. Oi l co nsumption varies from engine to en
g ine and may change significant ly over the life of
the eng ine . Typically, eng ines with a specified
238
b reak -in period (see q page 57) cons ume more
oi l during the break-in period than they consume
after o il consumption has stab ilized.
U nder normal cond itions, the ra te of oil con
s u mption depends on the q ua lity and viscos ity o f
the oil , the RPM (revo lutions per minute) at
which the engine is operated, the amb ient tem
perature and road condit ions. Further facto rs a re
the amount of o il di lution from wate r condensa
tion or fue l resid ue a nd the oxidation level of the
o il. As any engine is subject to wear as mileage
builds up, the o il consumption may increase ove r
ti me until replacement o f wo rn components may
become ne cessary.
With a ll these va riables coming into p lay, no
standard rate of o il consumption can be estab
li sh ed or spec ified . T he re is no alte rnative to reg
u lar and freq uen t che cki ng of the oil level , see
Note .
If the yellow engine oil level warning symbo l l!I
in the instrument clus ter lights up , you sho uld

@ Note
D riving w ith an insufficient oil level is like ly to
cause severe damage to the eng ine.
(D Tips
- The oil pressure warning display. is not
an indicator of the oil level. Do not rely on
it . Instead, check the oil level in your en
gine at regular intervals , preferably each
time you refuel, and always befo re going
on a long trip .
- If you have the impress io n your engine con
sumes excessive amounts of oil, we recom
mend that yo u consult an authorized A udi
dea le r to have t he cause of your concern
properly diagnosed. Keep in mind that the .,.

Checking and Filling
@ For the sake of the environment
-Engine oil 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.
(D Tips
The engine oil consumption may be up to 0.5 quart/600 miles (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
fuel your vehicle and before long drives.
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 anything in the engine compart
ment, always read and heed all WARNINGS
q .&.
in Working in the engine compartment on
page 235.
The engine oil must be changed according to the
intervals specified in your Warranty
& Mainte
nance booklet. This is very important because the
lubricating properties of oil diminish gradually
during normal vehicle use.
Under some circumstances the engine oil should
be changed more frequently . Change oil more of
ten if you drive mostly short distances, operate
the vehicle in dusty areas or under predominantly
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
look dark 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 proper disposal, along
with the special tools and necessary expertise re
quired, we strongly recommend that you have
240
your oil changed by an authorized Audi dealer or
a qualified service station.
If you choose to change your oil yourself , please
note the following important information:
& WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury if you
must change the engine oil in your vehicle
yourself:
- Wear eye protection.
-
-To reduce the risk of burns from hot engine
oil, let the engine cool down to the touch.
- When removing the oil drain plug with your
fingers, stay as far away as possible. Always
keep your forearm parallel to the ground to
help prevent hot oil from running down your
arm.
- Drain the oil into a container designed for
this purpose, one large enough to hold at
least the total amount of oil in your 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 adversely affect your Audi Limited New Vehi
cle Warranty.
@I For the sake of the environment
- 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
drains.
- Recycle used engine oil by taking it to a used
engine oil collection facility in your area, or
contact a service station .

Service interval display
The service interval display detects when your ve
hicle is due for service.
The service interval 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 oil change interval
or both intervals at the same time, the mes
sage
Inspection due! or Oil change due! or Oil
change and inspection duel
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>
Vehicle > left control button > Service & checks >
Service intervals .
(D Note
-Following the service intervals is critical to
maintain ing the service life and value of
your vehicle, especially the engine. Even if
the mileage on the vehicle is low, do not ex
ceed the time for the next service.
