systems
Catalytic converter
Applies to vehicles with petrol engine: The vehi­
cle must only be used with unleaded petrol; oth­
erwise the catalytic converter will be irreparably
damaged.
Never allow the fuel tank to run completely dry,
as the irregular supply of fuel can cause misfir­
ing. This allows unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust
system, which can cause overheating and dam­
age to the catalytic converter.
Diesel particulate filter
Applies to vehicles with diesel engine: The die­
sel particulate filter can filter out almost all soot
particles contained in the exhaust gas. In normal
driving conditions the filter is self-cleaning.
Should the self-cleaning function of the filter not
be able to operate, e.g. when the vehicle is con­
tinuously used only for short trips, the filter be-
220 comes
obstructed with soot and the symbol Cl
for the diesel particulate filter lights up
¢page 15.
A WARNING
The exhaust system is very hot when the vehi­
cle is being driven and after the engine has
been switched off.
- Never touch the tailpipes when they are hot
- risk of burns!
- Because of the high temperatures which can
occur in the emission control system (cata­
lytic converter or diesel particulate filter),
do not park the vehicle where the exhaust
can come into contact with flammable ma­
terials under the car (e.g. on grass or at the
forest edge) -risk of fire!
- Do not apply any undersea[ agents in the
area around the exhaust system -risk of
fire!
Engine compartment

Checking brake fluid level
The brake fluid Level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the reservoir ¢ page 222,
Fig. 211.
If the Level goes down noticeably in a short time,
or drops below the MIN mark, there may be a
Leak in the brake system. Obtain professional as­
sistance. The brake fluid Level is also monitored
via a warning Lamp on the infotainment display
¢page 11.
In right-hand drive vehicles the brake fluid reser­
voir is on the other side of the engine compart­
ment.
Changing brake fluid
Your vehicle's Service Schedule will tell you the
regular intervals at which the brake fluid is due
for renewal. We recommend that you have the
brake fluid changed by a qualified workshop dur­
ing a service.
A WARNING
- Brake fluid is poisonous; it must be stored in
the sealed original container in a safe place
out of the reach of children.
- Heavy use of the brakes may cause a vapour
Lock if the brake fluid is left in the system
for too Long. This would seriously affect the
efficiency of the brakes and the safety of the
car -risk of accident!
226 CD
CAUTION
Brake fluid must not be allowed to come into
contact with the vehicle's body, otherwise it
will attack the paintwork.
Battery General notes
ALL work on batteries requires specialist knowl­
edge.
The battery is virtually maintenance-free. It is
checked as part of the Inspection Service.
When an airbag is triggered, the battery will, un­
der certain circumstances, be disconnected from
the on-board power supply for safety reasons
¢ .&.. in General notes on airbag system on
page 209.
Disconnecting the battery
The battery should always be Left connected. If
the battery is disconnected, some of the vehicle's
functions will become inoperative (e.g. electric
windows). These functions will require resetting
after the battery is reconnected. For this reason,
the battery should only be disconnected from the
vehicle's electrical system when absolutely nec­
essary.
If the vehi cle is not used for long periods
If you do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are
using. This Limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
Long period ¢ page 106. Certain convenience fea­
tures, such as interior Lighting or electric seat ad­
justment, may not be available. These functions
will be restored when you switch on the ignition
and start the engine. Even though some systems
are deactivated automatically, certain electrical
equipment continues to draw current even when
the ignition is off. If the vehicle is Left standing
for several months, this can result in total bat-
tery discharge. If the battery is allowed to dis­
charge completely, an internal chemical reaction

and tyres
& WARNING
- Use only tyre/rim combinations and match­
ing wheel bolts approved by Audi. Otherwise
damage to the vehicle and an accident could
result.
- For technical reasons, it is not possible to
use wheels from other vehicles. In certain
cases, it is not even possible to use wheels
from another vehicle of the same model.
- It is very important to ensure that the tyres
you have chosen have adequate clearance.
When selecting replacement tyres, do not
rely entirely on the nominal tyre size marked
on the tyre; with some makes of tyre the ef­
fective tyre size can differ significantly from
the nominal dimensions, even though the
tyres have the same size designation. Inade­
quate tyre clearance can result in damage to
the tyres or the vehicle, causing a serious
safety risk.
- Avoid running the car on tyres that are more
than 6 years old. If you have no alternative,
you should drive slowly and with extra care
at all times.
- The use of run-flat tyres on your vehicle is
NOT authorised! Unauthorised use can cause
an accident or damage your vehicle.
- If wheel trims are fitted after the car is pur­
chased, ensure that there is an adequate
flow of air for cooling the brakes -risk of ac­
cident!
Tyre wear / damage
Fig. 219 Tyre tread: Tread wear indicators
l l
Please observe the applicable regulations in the country in
which you are travelling.
232 Tyre
wear
Inspect the tyres regularly for damage.
- The wear on under or over-inflated tyres is sig­
nificantly higher.
- Fast cornering, heavy acceleration and hard
braking all increase tyre wear.
- If you notice excessive tyre wear, have the
wheel alignment checked by a qualified work­
shop.
- Have your tyres rebalanced if steering wheel vi­
brations indicate an imbalance. Otherwise, the
tyres and other parts of the vehicle may wear
faster.
Tread wear indicators
The original tyres on your vehicle have 1.6 mm
high tread wear indicators ¢ Fig. 219 running
across the tread at regular intervals. The letters
"TWI" or triangles on the sidewall indicate the
positions of the tread wear indicators.
The minimum tread depth 1
) is reached at the lat­
est when the tread is worn down to the tread
wear indicators. Replace the tyres with new ones
¢ ,&..
Changing wheels round
Wheels should be changed round regularly to en­
sure that the wear is equal on all tyres. Fit the
wheels from the rear axle on the front axle and
vice-versa. All the tyres will then last for about
the same time.
On tyres with a directional tread pattern, note
the direction of rotation indicated on the sidewall
¢page 247.
Concealed damage
Damage to tyres and rims is often not readily visi­
ble. If you notice unusual vibrations or the car
pulling to one side, this may indicate that one of
the tyres is damaged. Reduce your speed imme­
diately. Inspect the tyres for damage. If no exter­
nal damage is visible, drive slowly and carefully
to the nearest qualified workshop and have the
car inspected.
