• Do not reuse batteries which were frozen . The battery housing
may have cracked and weakened when the battery froze .
• Charge the battery in a well ventilated area . Keep away from
open flame or electrical spark . Do not smoke . Hydrogen gas gener
ated by the battery is explosive .
• To reduce the danger of explosion , never connect or disconnect
charger cables wh ile the charger is operating .
• Fast charging a battery is dangerous and should only be
attempted by a competent technician with the proper equipment .
• Battery acid that may spill during charging should be washed
off with a solution of warm water and baking soda to neutralize
the acid .
0 Note
• Nev e r use a fast charger as a booster to start the engine. This will
seriously damage sensitive electronic components, such as control
units, re lays, radio, etc ., as wel l as the battery charger .
• T he vehicle may be optio nally equi ppe d wi th a ge l batt ery , w hich
can only be charged at a constant current -limited volta ge. To
prevent damage to the battery and the electronics system, a gel
battery that is connected must u nder no circumstances be cha rged
with a quick charger.

The correct t ire pressure for the
spare wheel is located on a label
either on the driver's side B-pillar or inside the fue l filler flap.
Because technica l changes may be made to vehicle equipment
during the mode l year, always compare the tire size designat ion on
the tire pressure la bel on y our vehicle with the tires on your vehicle.
Make sure tha t the t ire size information on the veh icle labe l is the
same as the size of the tires on the vehicle. This is especially impor
t ant if the vehicle belongs to someone e lse or you boug ht the
vehic le with different rims/tires or you bought the vehicle as a previ
ously owned vehicle.
Remember, your safety and that of your passengers a lso depends
on making su re tha t load limits a re not exceeded . Vehicle load
inc ludes everybody and everything in and on the vehicle. These load
limits are technically referred to as the vehicle's Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating ("GVWR"). The Gross Axle Weight Rating ("GAWR") is
the maximum load that can be applied at each of the vehicle's two
ax les. The Gross Vehicle We ight Rat ing and the Gross Ax le Weight
Rating are listed on the safety comp liance sticker labe l located
e it he r on the d river's side B-pillar o r on the i nside of the fuel f iller
flap. The tire pressure label on your Audi lists the maximum
combined we igh t of all o f th e occupa nts and luggage o r other cargo t
hat the vehic le can carry. For the location o f the tire pressure labe l
=> page 246, fig. 173.
& WARNING
Overloading a vehi cle can cause los s of vehicle control , a crash or
other accident, serious per sonal injury, and even death .
• Carrying more weight th an your vehicle was de signed to carry
will prevent the vehicle from handling properly and increase the
risk of a loss of vehicle control.
• The brakes on a vehicle that has been overloaded may not be
able to stop the vehicle within a safe distance .
• Tires on a vehicle that has been overloaded c an fail suddenly
cau sing loss of control and a crash .
• Alway s make sur e that the total load being tran sported -
including the weight of a trailer hitch and the tongue weight of a
loaded trailer -does not make the vehicle heavier than the
vehicle 's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating . _.,

• A wheel sensor or other component may have failed.
• During initia lization the system has detected more than 4 wheels
on the vehicle, for example while driving next to another car with a
tire pressure monitoring system.
• A wheel change was made but the button
=> page 265, fig. 179
was not pressed.
• Audi Genuine Parts were not used for parts replacement.
• If snow chains are being used, system function can be compro
mised due to the shielding properties of the chains.
• The tire pressure monitoring system may not be available
because of a radio ma lfunction.
• Transmitters with the same frequency, such as radio head
phones in the veh icle or radio equipment, can cause a temporary
disruption of the system through excessive electromagnetic fields.
• Eliminate the interference if possible and then proceed as
follows: Turn off the engine for 20 minutes. Then drive another 10
min . If the warning light comes on again, you shou ld contact your
authorized Audi dealer immediately to have the problem corrected.
• Do not use commercially available tire sealants. Otherwise, the
e lectrical components of the tire pressure monitoring system will
no longer work properly and the sensor for the tire pressure moni
toring system will have to be replaced by an authorized Audi dealer
or other qualified workshop. •
