A WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, you must in­
stall a forward-facing child restraint on the
front passenger's seat:
- Always make sure the forward-fac ing seat
has been designed and certified by its man­
ufacturer for use on a front seat with a pas­
senger front and s ide a irbag.
- Never put the forward-facing child restraint
up against or ve ry near the instrument pan­
el.
- Always move the front passenger seat to
the highest position in the up and down ad­
justment range and move it back to the
re ar most position in the se at's fore and aft
adjustment range, as fa r away from the air ­
bag as possib le, before insta lling the for­
ward-facing child restraint .
-Always make sure that the safety belt upper
anchorage is behind the child restraint and
not next to or in front of the chi ld restraint
so that the safety belt will be properly pos i­
t ioned.
- Make sure that the
PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF ~; light comes on and stays on a ll the
t ime whenever the ignition is switched on.
A WARNING
To red uce the risk of serious in jury, make s ure
that the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~; light
w ill be displayed whenever a child restra int is
installed on the front passenge r seat and the
ign ition is swi tched on.
-If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~; light
does not stay on, perfo rm the che cks descri­
bed
¢ page 205, Monitoring the Advanced

A WARNING
--
If, in exceptional c ircumstances, you must in­
stall a forward or rearward-facing child re­
stra int on the fron t passenger 's seat :
- Imp roper installat ion of child restraints can
reduce the ir effectiveness or even prevent
them from providing any pro tect ion .
- An improperly installed child restra int can
interfere wi th the airbag as it deploys and
serio usly injure or even kil l the chi ld -even
wit h an Advanced A irbag System.
- Always carefully follow the manufacturer's
instr uctions provided with the child seat or
earner.
- Always make sure that there is noth ing on
the front passenge r seat tha t will cause the
capacitive p assenge r de te ction system in
the sea t to signal to the Airb ag System th at
the seat is occup ied by a person when i t is
not, or to signal that it is occupied by some­
one who is heavier than the person actually
sitt ing on the seat. The presence of addi­
tional objects could cause the passenger
front ai rbag to be turned on when it should
be off, or cou ld cause the ai rbag to work in a
way that is different from the way it wou ld
h ave wo rked withou t the objec t on the seat.

To reduce the risk of lime sca le deposits on the
spray nozzles, use clean water with low amounts
of calc ium. A lways add window cleaner to the wa­
ter. When the outs ide temperatures are cold, an
anti -freezing agent should be added to the water
so that it does not freeze.
@ Note
-The concentration of anti-freezing agent
must be adjusted to the vehicle operating
cond itions in the respective climate. A con­
ce ntrat ion that is too high can lead to vehi­
cl e damage.
- Never add radiator anti-freeze or other addi­
tives to the washer fluid.
Checking and Filling
- Do not use a glass cleaner that contains
paint so lvents, because t his could damage
the paint.

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.

if
mm appears after switching on the ignition or
while driving and then the
[DJ indicator light in
the instrument cluster also starts to blink for
about one minute and then stays on permanen t­
ly, there is a system malfunction. Try to store the
correct tire pressures
<=:> page 262 . If the indica­
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
"AO"
¢page 251 have been matched with your
Audi tire pressure monitoring system . Using
these tires is recommended.

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.
