correctly.
106 Power
management
This system helps to ensure reliable
starting
The power management controls the distribu
tion of electrical energy and thus helps to ensure
that
there
is always enough power available to
start the engine.
If a vehicle with a conventional electrical system
is left parked for a long time, the battery will
gradually lose its charge because certain electri
cal equipment (such as the immobiliser) contin
ues to draw current even when the ignition is off.
In some cases there may not be enough power
available to start the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent pow
er management system to control the distribu
tion of electrical energy. This significantly im
proves reliability when starting the engine, and
also prolongs the life of the battery.
The main functions incorporated in the power
management system are battery diagnosis, re
sidual current management and dynamic power
management.
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis function constantly regis
ters the condition of the battery. Sensors detect
the battery voltage, battery current and battery
temperature. This enables the system to calcu
late the current power level and charge condition
of the battery.
Residual current management
The residual current management reduces power
consumption while the vehicle is parked. It con
trols the supply of power to the various electrical
components while the ignition is switched off.
The system takes the battery diagnosis data into
consideration.
Depending on the power level of the battery, the
individual electrical components are switched off
one after the other to prevent the battery from
losing too much charge and to ensure that the
engine can be started reliably.

and topping up fluids
Diesel can thicken at very low temperatures,
which can result in problems starting the engine
or prevent the engine from running smoothly. For
this reason, filling stations in some countries of
fer winter-grade diesel fuel during the cold
months so that you can continue to operate your
vehicle reliably. Ask at your filling station wheth
er the diesel fuel available there is suitable for
the current conditions and for the temperatures
which could potentially occur.
CD CAUTION
- Never use FAME fuels (biodiesel), petrol,
heating oil, thinners or any other fuels or
additives, as these could cause serious dam
age to the fuel system and the engine.
- Never start the engine if you fill up with the
wrong type of fuel, as this could damage
the fuel system and the engine. Obtain pro
fessional assistance.

ca �
Press the tank flap -arrow- ¢ Fig. 204 to open
it. Your vehicle has a new self-sealing fuel tank
without a tank cap.
� Insert the filler nozzle into the fuel filler neck
as far as the stop ¢ Fig. 205 and ensure it is
properly engaged.
� Start refuelling. When the automatic filler noz
zle is operated correctly it will switch itself off
as soon as the tank is "full". Do not try to put in
more fuel after the nozzle cuts out, as this will
fill the expansion chamber in the fuel tank.
� When the fuel filler pump switches itself off,
wait for 5 seconds before pulling out the filler
nozzle so that any remaining fuel can flow into
the tank opening.
� Close the tank flap. Make sure you hear it click
into place.
The correct fuel grade for your vehicle is given on
a sticker on the inside of the tank flap. Further
notes on fuel ¢page 217.
The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the
Technical data section ¢ page 258.
& WARNING
Fuel is highly inflammable and can cause seri
ous burns and other injuries.
- For safety reasons we do not recommend
carrying a spare fuel canister in the vehicle.
The canister could become damaged in an
accident and leak.
- Observe all relevant statutory regulations
on using, storing and transporting spare
fuel canisters.
- When filling your tank or a spare fuel canis
ter with fuel, do not smoke and keep away
from naked flames -risk of explosion!
- If,
in exceptional circumstances, you have to
carry a spare fuel canister, please observe
the following warnings:
- Never fill fuel into the spare fuel canister
with the canister placed in or on top of the
vehicle. An electrostatic charge could
build up during filling, causing the fuel va
pour to ignite -risk of explosion! Always
place the canister on the ground to fill it.
- Insert the filler nozzle as far as possible
into the spare fuel canister.

CD CAUTION
- Have your qualified workshop check the
cooling system before the winter season to
make sure that the anti-freeze concentra
tion is adequate for the conditions to be ex
pected. This applies particularly if you drive
into a colder climate zone.
- To prevent damage to the engine, do not
use a different type of anti-freeze additive if
the approved type of additive is not availa
ble. In this case use only water and bring
the coolant concentration back up to the
correct level as soon as possible by putting
in the specified additive.
- Always top up with fresh, unused coolant.
- Radiator sealants must not be added to the
coolant.
Topping up coolant
Fig. 214 Engine compartment: Cap of coolant expansion
tank
Checking coolant level
.. Park
your vehicle on a level surface .
.. Switch off the ignition .
.. Read off the coolant level on the coolant expan
sion tank ¢ page 222, Fig. 211. When the en
gine is cold, the coolant level should be be
tween the marks. When the engine is warm, it
may be slightly above the top mark. Checking
and topping up fluids
Topping up coolant
Impor tant: The coolant expansion tank must not
be empty ¢(D.
.. Wait for the engine to cool down.
.. Cover the cap on the expansion tank with a
cloth, and carefully unscrew the cap anti-clock
wise ¢ .&_ .
.. Add coolant in the correct concentration
¢ page 224 up to the top mark.
.. You should make sure that the fluid level re-
mains stable. If necessary, add more coolant.
.. Screw the cap on again tightly.
Any loss of coolant normally indicates a leak in
the cooling system. Drive to a qualified workshop
without delay and have the cooling system
checked. If there are no leaks in the system, a
loss of coolant can only occur if the coolant boils
and is forced out of the system as a result of
overheating.
A WARNING
- The cooling system is under pressure. Do
not unscrew the cap on the expansion tank
when the engine is hot: you could be scal
ded by escaping steam.
- The coolant and coolant additive can be a
health hazard. Store the coolant additive in
the original container in a safe place out of
reach of children -risk of poisoning.
- When working in the engine compartment
be aware that the radiator fan may start
running suddenly, even if the ignition is
switched off-risk of injury!
CD CAUTION
Do not add coolant if the expansion tank is
empty. Air could have got into the cooling sys
tem -risk of engine damage! In this case, do
NOT drive on. Obtain professional assistance .

.... Wheels
and tyres
Wheels General notes
... Inspect the tyres regularly for damage (cuts,
cracks or blisters, etc.). Remove any foreign
bodies embedded in the treads.
... If you have to drive over a kerb or similar obsta
cle, drive very slowly and as near as possible at
a right angle to the kerb.
... Damaged rims or tyres must be replaced imme
diately.
... Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.
... Mark
the wheels before taking them off so that
they rotate in the same direction when refitted.
... When removed, the wheels should be stored
flat in a cool, dry and preferably dark place.
CD CAUTION
- Please note that summer and winter tyres
are optimised for the prevailing road condi
tions at different times of year. We recom
mend that you use winter tyres during the
winter months. At low temperatures, sum
mer tyres lose their elasticity and grip, and
braking performance also suffers as a re
sult. Cracks can form in the tread block on
summer tyres if they are used at very cold
temperatures, and this can cause perma
nent damage to the tyres. An increase in
rolling noise and tyre imbalance may result
from this damage.
- Machined, polished or chrome-plated rims
must not be used in winter conditions. The
process used to manufacture these types of
wheel rim does not provide adequate sur
face protection against corrosion, and the
rims can be permanently damaged by road
salt or similar.
New wheels or tyres
It is best to have all servicing of wheels and tyres
performed by a qualified workshop, since they
have the necessary special tools and replacement
parts and trained personnel. Wheels
and tyres
... New tyres do not yet give maximum grip. When
driving with new tyres, drive at moderate
speeds and be especially careful during the first
500 km.
... All four wheels must be fitted with tyres of the
same type, size (rolling circumference) and
preferably the same tread pattern.
... Tyres should be replaced in pairs and not indi
vidually (i.e. both front tyres or both rear tyres
together).
... We recommend the use of Audi Genuine Tyres.
If you wish to use other tyres, please note that
the actual size can differ from the nominal size
marked on the tyre ¢.&_
.
... If you wish to purchase a different combination
of rims and tyres than the ones fitted on the ve
hicle during production, it is advisable to con
sult a qualified workshop beforehand ¢.&_
.
On vehicles with four-wheel drive, all four wheels
must always be fitted with tyres of the same
type, make and tread pattern, as otherwise the
driveline can be damaged by variations in the
wheel speeds. For the same reason, only use a
spare wheel* which has the same rolling circum
ference as the normal road wheels.
If the spare wheel* is not the same type as the
tyres fitted on the car (for example if the car has
winter tyres or wide-section tyres) you should on
ly use the spare wheel* if a puncture occurs, and
then only for a short period of time. In this case,
please drive with extra care. Refit a normal road
wheel as soon as possible.
Manufacturing date
The manufacturing date is indicated on the tyre
sidewall (possibly only on the inner side of the
wheel):
DOT ... 2214 ...
means, for example, that the tyre was produced
in the 22nd week of 2014.
Audi Genuine Tyres
Audi Genuine Tyres with the marking "AO" or
"RO" are specially matched to your Audi. When
used properly, these tyres meet the highest
standards in safety and handling. Your specialist
retailer will be glad to provide more information . ..,..
