dealer to have the cause of your concern
properly diagnosed. Keep in mind that the
accurate meas urement of oil cons umption
requires great care and may take some time.
An authorized Audi dealer has instructions
about how to measure oil consumption ac
curately.
Checking the engine oil level
Fig. 162 MMI Disp lay: Oil leve l indicator
Read oil level
• Park your vehicle so that it is horizonta lly level.
• Shut the engine off when it is at operating tem-
perature.
• Switch only the ignition back on.
• Wait approx . two minutes.
• Select: Function button
~IC ~A ~R~I > Oil level. Or
• Se lect: Funct ion button
ICARI > Car systems*

• Read the oil level in the MMI* Display
r:::>fig. 162. Add engine o il if the bar of the oil
level indicator is near "min"
r:::>page 191
Depending on the way the vehicle is driven and
the operating conditions, oil consumpt ion can be
up to 1 quart per 600 miles (0.8 liter pe r 1,000
km). Consumption may be higher within the f irst
3,000 mi les (5,000 km).
@ Tips
The oil level indicator in the MMI* Display is
only an information disp lay. If the oil level is
too low, a minimum oil warning appears in
the instrument cluster. Add oi l
r::;, page 191.
If the hood has been opened, the current oil
level is shown in the instrument cluster the
next time the ignition is switched on.

Wheels
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the sys
tem is not operating properly. The TPMS mal
function indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated . This sequence will continue upon
subsequent veh icle start-ups as long as the mal
function ex ists.
When the malfunct ion 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, incl uding the
installation of rep lacement or a lternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction tellta le after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
If the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
indicator appears
A pp lies to veh icles: w ith tire pressure moni toring sys te m
The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too low
or if there is a system malfunction.
Fig. 173 In stru ment cluste r: indicator light with message
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure monitor
ing system compares the tire tread circumference
and vibration characteristics of the individual
tires . If the pressure changes in one or more
tires, this is indicated in the instrument cluster
d isp lay w ith an ind icator light
RE and a message.
214
If only one tire is affected, the location of that
tire will be indicated .
The tire pressures must be stored in the Infotain
ment system again each time the pressures
change (switching between partial and full load
pressure) or after changing or rep lacing a tire on
your vehicle ¢
page 215. The tire pressure moni
toring system on ly monitors the tire pressure you
have stored. Refer to the tire pressure label for
the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle
¢ page 206, fig. 172 .
Tire tread circumference and vibration character
istics can change and cause a tire pressure warn
ing if:
- the t ire pressure in one or more tires is too low .
- the tire has structural damage.
- the tir e was replaced or the tire pressure was
changed and it was not stored
¢ page 215.

Check the tires and replace or r epair if necessary .
Check/correct the pressures of all four tires and

appears after
switching the ignition on or while driving and the
RE indicator light in the instrument cluster
blinks for approximately one minute and then
stays on, there is system malfunction. Try to
store the correct tire pressures
¢ page 215. If
the indicator light does turn off or turns on aga in
after a short period of time, drive to your author
i zed Audi dealer or qualified repair facility imme
diately to have the ma lfunct ion corrected.
,&. WARNING
- If the tire pressure ind icator appears in the
display, reduce yo ur speed immediately and
avoid any hard steering or braking maneu
vers. Stop as soon as possible and check the
tires and their pressure .
- The driver is responsible for maintaining the
correct tire pressure. You must check the
tire pressure regu larly. .,..
