Tire pressure monitoring system
App lies to vehicles: with tire pressu re mon itoring system
General notes C.. ~
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
month ly when cold and inflated to the inflat ion pressure recom­
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inf lation pressure label. ( If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres ­
sure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire

pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significant ly
under -inflated. Accord ingly, when the low tire pressure tel ltale illu ­
minates, you shou ld stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure . Driving on a significan tly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure . Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehic le's handling and stopping ability .
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte­
nance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct t ire
pressure, even if under -inflation has not reached the leve l to trigger
il lumination of the TPMS low tire pressure te lltale .
Your veh ic le has a lso been equipped w ith a TPMS malfunction indi­
cator to indicate when the system is not operating properly . The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire p ressure
telltale . When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale wil l
flash for approx imately one minute and then remain cont inuously
il luminated . This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start -ups as long as the malfu nction exists.
When the ma lfunction indicator is illuminated , the system may not
be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons , including the
insta llation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning prope rly . A lways
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or whee ls on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
p roper ly .•

Warm and cold
Climate controls
Description
The air conditioner is fully automatic and is designed to
maintain a comfortable and uniform climate inside the
vehicle.
We recommend the following settings:
- Select and set a temperature between 64 °F (+22 °C) and
86 °F (+29 °C).
- Press the !AUTO
I button.
With this setting, you attain maximum comfort in the least amount
of time. Change this setting, as desired, to meet your personal
needs.
The climate controls are a combination of heating, ventilation and cooling systems, which automatically reduce humidity and cool the
air inside your vehicle.
The air temperature, air flow and air distribution are automatically regulated to achieve and maintain the desired passenger compart­
ment temperature as quickly as possible.
The system automatically compensates for changes in the outside
temperature and for the intensity of the sunlight entering the
vehicle. We recommend you use the
Automatic mode=> page 112
for year -round comfort.
Please note the following:
Turn on the air conditioner to reduce humidity in the vehicle. This
also prevent the windows from fogging up. When the outside temperature is high and the air is very
humid,
condensation from the evaporator may drip under the vehicle. This
is normal and does not indicate a leak.
I f the outside temperature is low, the fan normally only switches to
a higher speed once the engine coolant has warmed up sufficiently.
The air conditioner temporarily switches off when you drive off from a standstill using full throttle to save engine power.
The compressor also switches off if the coolant temperature is too
high so that the engine can be adequately cooled under extreme
loads.
Air pollutants filter
The air pollutants filter (a combined particle filter and activated charcoal filter) reduces or eliminates outside air pollution (dust, or
pollen) from entering the vehicle.
The air pollutants filter must be changed at the intervals specified in your Warranty
& Maintenance booklet, so that the air conditioner
can properly work.
If you drive your vehicle in an area with high air pollution, the filter
may need to be changed more frequently than specified in your
Audi Warranty
& Maintenance booklet. If in doubt, ask your autho­
rized Audi Service Advisor for advice.
Key coded settings
The air conditioner settings selected are automatically stored and
assigned to the key being used. When the vehicle is started, the air
conditioner automatically selects the settings assigned to that key.
These settings will differ depending if the roof is opened or closed.
This way every driver will maintain his/her own personal settings
and does not have to reset them manually.
