Engine oil consumption
The engine in your vehicle depends on an adequate
am ount of oil to lubricate and c ool all of its moving parts.
In order to provide effective lubrication and cooling of internal
engine components, all internal combustion engines consume a
certain amount of oil. Oil consumption varies from engine to engine
and may change sign ificantly over the life of the engine . Typically,
engines with a specified break-in period (see~
page 190) consume
more oil during the break-in period than they co nsume after o il
consumption has stabilized .
Under normal conditions, the rate of oil consumption depends on
the quality and viscosity of the oil, the RPM (revo lutions per minute)
at which the engine is operated, the ambient temperature and road
conditions. Further factors are the amount of oil dilution from water
condensation or fue l residue and the oxidation level of the oil. As
any engine is subject to wear as mileage bu ilds up, the oil consump ­
tion may increase over time until rep lacement of worn components
may become necessary .
With all these variables coming into play, no standa rd rate of oil
consumption can be estab lished or specified. There is no a lternative
t o regula r and frequent checking of the oil level, see Note.
I f the yellow engine oil level warning symbol in the instrument
cluster _ lights up, y ou should check t he oi l level as soon as
possible
with the oil dipstick~ page 221. Top off the oil at your
earl iest co nvenience ~
page 222.
& WARNING
Before you check anything in the engine compartment , always
read and heed all WARNING S
~ & in "Working in the engine
c ompartment " on
page 217 .
0 Note
Driving with an insuff ic ie n t o il level is l ikely to cause severe damage
to the engine.
[ i ] Tip s
• The oil pressure w arning display ce,. is not an indi cator of the oil
level . Do not rely on it. Instead, check the oil level in your engine at
regular interv als , prefe rably ea ch time you refuel , and always before
going on a long trip.
• I f you have the impression your engine consumes excessive
amoun ts of oi l, we recommend tha t you consult your Audi dealer to
have the cause of your concern properly diagnosed . Keep in mind
that the accurate measureme nt of oil consumption requires great
care and may take some time. Your Audi dealer has instructions
about how t o measure oil consumption accurately. •

Tires and wheels -
----------------
•
& WARNING (continued)
• Do not adjust tire pressure when tire temperature is excessive.
This could lead to serious tire damage and even cause the tire to
burst, with the additional danger of an accident.
Driving with under -inflated tires reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life.
[ i] Tips
• Each tire should be checked monthly when the temperature of
the tires is about the same as ambient air temperature and set to the
recommended inflation pressure as specified on the tire pressure
label =>
page 238.
• The factory supplied spare wheel is equipped with a sensor for
the tire pressure monitoring system *. As long as the spare wheel is
not mounted, the tire pressure of this tire will not be monitored.
• The tire pressure monitoring system * helps the driver to keep an
eye on tire pressures. But the driver still has the responsibility for
maintaining the correct tire pressure.
• Tire pressure must only be adjusted when the temperature of the
tires is about the same as ambient air temperature.
• When tires are replaced, the sensors and valves should not be
exchanged . The valve core, nut, valve sealing and seal washer
(replacement kit) needs to be replaced. If necessary, the valve and
the wheel electronics have to be replaced.
• If you should put different wheels and tires on your vehicle (e.g.
winter wheels and tires), you must be certain that the wheels and
tires are compatible with the tire pressure monitoring system*.
Otherwise the system will register a malfunction and a fault
message will be displayed. For more information, contact your Audi
dealer. •
Adjust the tire pressure and store the pressure in the tire pres­
sure monitoring system* to the load you are carrying.

If the I warning light in the instrument cluster comes on
and then the(•' symbol appears in the display ~ fig. 153,
pressure in at least one tire is too low.
- Stop driving as soon as possible without endangering
yourself and other drivers on the road.
Inspect all tires.
- Change the tire if necessary ~
page 268.
The, warning light in the instrument cluster comes on when the
tire is significantly underinflated .

After a few seconds, the message disappears again. If you would
like to show the message again, press the Set/Check button
=>
page 72 , fig. 2@ .
[ i) Tips
• In the case of an intentional loss of air pressure, for example,
when re -adjusting tire pressure, this has to be stored again after ­
wards=>
page 256.
• Tire pressure must only be adjusted when the temperature of the
tires is about the same as ambient air tempera ture.
• The yellow symbol disappears, when the tire pressure is
correc ted and the new pressure is stored in the system=>
page 256.
• After changing a wheel or replacing a wheel with the spare tire
you have to adjust the tire pressures on all wheels. In addition , you
must then initialize the new tire pressures in the tire pressure moni ­
toring system*=>
page 257. •
Ap plies to vehicles: w ith tir e pressure monitor in g system
Storing tire pressures
Correct storage of specified pressure is the basic require ­
ment for reliable tire pressure monitoring.
Fig. 154 SET-button :
Tire pressure moni­
toring system
In order for the tire pressure monitoring system* to operate
appropriately, you have to re-save the specified pressures
whenever you adjust tire pressures, for example when the
load condition of your vehicle changes . Proceed as follows:
Correcting tire pressure
Check the pressure in the tires.
Adjust air pressure as needed to comply with the infor­ mation on the label located on the driver's side B -pillar
(vis ible when the door is open).
Saving tire pressures
Turn on the ignition.
Press the button=> fig. 154 for app roximately 5 seconds.
You will hear a beep and the symbol in the instrument
cluster flashes three times.
All pressure warning indicators in the display will be canceled.
Following each intentional change in specified pressures, tire pres­
sures must be resaved.
After the pressures are saved, the tire pressure monitoring system* measures the current tire pressures and saves them as the new
specified pressures.
[ i J Tips
• The tire pressure is shown on the tire pressure label. The tire
pressure label is located on the driver's side B-pillar (visible when
the door is open). The tire pressure label lists the recommended cold tire inflation pressures for the vehicle at its maximum capacity
weight and the tires that were on your vehicle at the time it was
manufactured . For recommended tire pressures for normal load
conditions, please see chapter
=> page 238. .,_

S yst e m m alfun ctio n
If the .J., warning light in the instrument cluster flashes for approxi­
mately one minute and then remains continuously illuminated and
additional ly the T ~~ fig. 155 symbol appears in the display, the
tire pressure mon itoring system* is not available. This can have
various causes.
• If the message appears at the end of the lear ning process, the
system cannot recognize the wheels installed on the vehicle. This
can be because one or more wheels without a wheel sensor were
insta lled.
• A wheel sensor or other component may have failed .
• During initialization the system has detected more than 4 wheels
on the vehicle, for example whi le driving next to another car with a
tire pressure monitoring system*.
• A whee l change was made but the button

Vehicle care I t •

-~_T_ ir_e_ s_ a_ n_d _ w_ h_ e_e _l_s _________________________________________________ _
• Transmitters with the same frequency , such as radio head­
phones in the vehic le or radio equipment, can cause a temporary
disruption of the system through excessive electromagnetic fields .
• Elimina te the interference if possible/if you can and then
proceed as follows : Turn off the engine for 20 minutes . T hen drive
another
1 0 min. If the warning light comes on aga in, you should
contact your authorized Audi dealer immediately to have the problem corrected .
• Do not use commercially avai lable tire sea lants. Otherwise, the

no longer work properly and the sensor for the tire pressure moni­
toring system * will have to be replaced by a qualified workshop .•
Run-flat tires
Ap plies to ve hic les : w it h R un -f la t tires
Introduction
Run-flat tires help keep you moving if a tire goes flat.
Re inforced sidewalls give the tires run -flat capability if t ire pressure
is lost .
We recommend that run -flat tires only be mounted on vehicles that
were origina lly equipped with these special tires at the factory and
have a Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
Run-flat tire s can be identified by the letter s "RSC" on the tire side ­
wa ll.
If you do change the tires on you r vehicle from normal to run -flat
tires , you must buy the special rims required for run -flat tires, and
the Tire Pressure Mon itoring System must be reprogrammed by an
authorized Audi dea ler or other qual ified workshop.
What do run -fl at tires do ?
These specia l tires have run-flat capabilities that help keep you
moving if a tire loses pressure and goes flat. Under favorab le condi -tions tires can be driven
a
t lea st 30 mile s (50 km ), but you must not
drive
fa ster than 50 mph (80 km/h )=> page 259, "Driving with run ­
flat tires".
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System constant ly checks the air pres ­
sure in the tires. If the run-flat system is active (shown in the center
display), you must inspect the affected t ire or t ires and then decide
whether to cont inue dr iving. Be sure to fol low these tips
=> page 259, "Driving with run -flat tir es" .
When it is n ot po ssible to c ontinue dri ving, ev en with
run-flat tir es?
• I f the Electronic Stabi lization Program (ESP) is not work ing o r
keeps coming on.
• I f the Tire Pressure Monitoring System does not work.
• I f the tire has been severely damaged, in a crash, for example .
T he t read can separate from a damaged tire as the wheel turns , and
hit parts of the vehicle, such as the fuel tank filler neck, fuel lines or
brake lines.
• Do not con tin ue d riving if severe vibra tion occurs or if the tire
starts to smoke because the tire is running hot.
• Do not conti nue drivi ng if da mage to the tire, such as cracks in
the sidewal l, appears .
& WARNING
Improper use of run -fl at tires can cause ve hic le da mage th at can
le ad to los s of vehicle control , a crash and seriou s personal injury .
• Run-flat t ires can only be used w ith spe cial rims .
• Run -fl at tires must always be monitored with a properly
programmed Tire Pre ssure Monitoring Sy stem.
• Alway s inspect a tire that ha s lo st air to make sure it i s safe to
drive with the tire in the run -flat mode .
• Never dr ive with run -fl at tire s th at have been dam aged in a
colli sion.
