Tire pressure monitoring system
(J_) General notes
Each tire, incl uding the spare (if provided),
should be checked month ly when co ld and inflat­
ed to the inf lation pressure recommended by the
ve hicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflat ion pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a d ifferent s ize tha n the s ize indicated on
the veh icle placa rd or t ire inflation pressure la­
be l, you s hou ld determine the prope r tir e infla­
tion pressure fo r th ose tires).
As an added safety feature, your ve hicle has been
equ ipped w ith a t ire pressu re monito ring system
(TPMS) that ill uminates a low tire p ress ure tell­
tale whe n one or more of yo ur t ires is sign ificant ­
l y unde r-infla ted. Accord ingly, whe n the low tire
p ressure tellta le illuminates, yo u should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper press ure. D riving on a signifi ­
cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to ove r­
h eat and can lead to t ire failure. Under-inflation
a lso reduces fuel efficiency and ti re tread life,
and may affect the veh icle's handling and stop­
p ing ability .
P lease note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's re­
sponsib il ity to ma inta in correct tire pressure,
even if u nder-inflation has not reached t he leve l
to tr igger illum inat io n of t he TPM S low tire p res ­
sure telltale.
Your veh icle has also been equ ipped w ith a TPMS
malfunct ion ind icator to indicate when the sys­
tem is not operat ing properly. The TPMS ma l­
f u nction ind icator is combined w ith the low tire
p ressure tellta le. Whe n the system det ects a
mal function, the te lltale wi ll flash fo r approxi ­
mate ly one mi nute and then remain continuous ly
illum inated. This sequence will continue upon
subseq uent ve hicle start-ups as long as the ma l­
function ex ists .
W hen t he malfunctio n indicator is ill uminated,
the system may not be ab le to detect or signa l
low t ire press ure as intended. TPMS ma lfunctions
may occur for a var iety of reasons, including the
Wheels
insta llation o f replacement or alternate tires or
whee ls on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning p roperly . Always check the
TPMS ma lfunction te lltale after replac ing one or
more tires or wheels on you r vehicle to ensure
t h at the rep lacement or a lternate tires a nd
wheels allow t he TPMS to continue to function
prope rly.
If the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
indicator appears
Applies to: vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring System in­
dicator
The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too low
or if there is a system malfunction.
U sing the ABS se nsors, the t ire pressure monitor­
ing system compares the tire tread c ircumfer­
ence and v ibration characterist ics of the ind ividu­
al tires. If the pressu re changes in one o r more
t ir es, th is is indica ted in the Info tainment sys tem
display wi th an indica to r li ght

If only one ti re is affected, the location of tha t
tire will be indicated.

if

tor light does turn off or turns on again after a
short period of time, drive to an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Aud i Serv ice Facility immedi­
ately to have the malfunction corrected .
_& WARNING
-If the tire pressure indicator appears in the
display, reduce your speed immediately and
avoid any hard steering or braking maneu­
vers. Stop as soon as possible and check the
tires and their pressure.
- The driver is responsible for maintaining the
correct tire pressures. You must check the
tire pressures regularly.
-Under certain conditions (such as a sporty
driving style, winter conditions or unpaved
roads), the pressure monitor indicator may
be delayed .
- Do not use run-flat tires on your vehicle. Us­
ing them when not permitted can lead to
vehicle damage or accidents .
(D Tips
- The tire pressure monitoring system can al­
so stop working when there is an ESC mal­
function.
- Using snow chains may result in a system
malfunction.
- The tires with the identification

Tire pressure monitoring
system
ill General notes
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and inflat­
ed to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tir e inflation pr essure la­
bel, you should determine the proper tire infla­
tion pressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system
( T PMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure tell­
tale when one or more of you r tires is significant­
ly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure . Driving on a signifi­
cant ly under-inflated t ire causes the tire to over­
heat and can lead to tire failur e. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle's handling and stop-
ping ability.

Care and cleaning
Care and cleaning
General information
Regular, proper care helps to maintain your vehi­
cle's value. It can also be a requirement when
submitting warranty claims for corrosion damage
and paint defects on the body.
The necessary care products can be obtained
from an authorized Audi dea ler or authorized
Audi Service Facility. Read and follow the instruc ­
tions for use on the packaging.
A WARNING
-Using cleaning and care products incorrectly
can be dangerous to your health.
- Always store clean ing and care products out
of reach of children to reduce the r isk of poi­
sonin g.
@ For the sake of the environment
- Preferab ly purchase environmenta lly-friend­
l y cleaning products.
- Do not dispose of leftover cleaning and care
products with household trash.
Car washes
The longer that deposits remain on the vehicle,
the more the surface may be damaged. High
temperatures such as those caused by sunlight increase the damaging effect .
Before washing, rinse
off heavy deposits with
p lenty of water.
Stubborn deposits such as bird droppings or tree
sap are best removed with plenty of water and a
microfiber cloth.
A lso, wash the underside of yo ur vehicle once
road sa lt stops being used for the season.
Pressure washers
When washing your veh icle w ith a pressure wash­
er, always follow the operating instructions pro­
vided with the press ure washer. This is espec ially
impor tant in r egard to the pressure and spraying
distance. Do not direct th e stream of water di­
rect ly onto seals for the side windows, doors,
266
lug gage compartment lid or hood, or onto the
tires, rubber hoses, insulating material, sensors*
or camera lenses* . Keep a distance of at least 16
i n
(40 cm).
Do not remove snow and ice with a pressure
washer.
Never use cone nozz les or high pressure nozzles.
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
winds hield wipers are
off. Follow instructions
from the car wash operator, espec ia lly if there
are accessories attached to your veh icle.
If possible, use car washes that do not have
brushes.
Washing by hand
Clean the vehicl e starting from the top and work­
in g down using a soft sponge or cl eaning br ush.
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 part icles from you r vehi ­
cle. Insects, grease spots and fingerprints are
best removed with a special cleaner for matte
finish paint.
Apply t he product using a microfiber cloth. To
avoid damaging th e paint surface, do not use too
much pressure.
R inse the vehicl e thoroughly with wate r. Then
clean using a neutra l shampoo and a soft micro­
f iber cloth .
Rinse the vehicl e thoroughly again and let it air
dry. Remove any water residue using a chamois.
A WARNING
-Only wash the vehicle when the ignition is
off and follow the instructions from the car
-

Emergency situations
@ Tips
The discharged battery must be properly con·
nected to the vehicle's electrical system .
When jump starting or charging the battery,
never connect the negative ground cable to
the battery negative post because the battery
manager system must be able to detect the
battery's state of charge. Always connect the
negat ive g round cable to the negative ground
post of the battery manager control unit.
Using the jump start
cable
Both jump start cables must be connected in the
correct order!
