Engine oil consumption
The engine in your vehicle depends on an ade ­
quate amount of oil to lubricate and cool all
of its moving parts.
In order to provide effective lubrication and
cooling of i nternal engine components, a ll in­
ternal comb ustion eng ines consume a certa in amount of oil. Oil consumpt
ion varies from
engine to engine and may change significant ly
over the life of the engine . Typically, engines
with a spec ified break-in period (see
<=> page 196) consume more oil during the
break -in pe riod than they consume after o il
co nsump tion has stabilized.
Under normal cond itions, the rate of oil con ­
sumption depends on the q ua lity and viscos ity
of the oil, the RPM (revolut ions per minute) at
wh ich the engine is operated, t he ambie nt
temperature and road conditions . Fur ther fac­
tors a re the amount of oil dilut ion from wa ter
condensation or f ue l resid ue and the oxid a­
t ion level of the o il. As any engine is subjec t to
wear as m ileage builds up, t he oil consump­
tion may increase over time until replacement of wo rn components may become necessary.
W it h a ll these variab les coming into play, no
standard rate of oil consumption can be es­
tablished or specified. There is no alte rnative
to regu lar and frequent check ing of the o il lev­
el, see
Note .
If
the yellow engine oil level warning symbo l
in the instrument cluster
I!!! lights up, you
shou ld check the oil leve l as soon as possib le
<=> page 215. Top off the oil at your earliest
convenience
<=> page 215.
A WARNING
-Before you chec k anythi ng in the engine
com partment, always read a nd heed all
WAR NIN GS¢
& in Working in th e engine
compar tment on page 211.
{(D Note
Driving w it h an insufficient o il level is like­
ly to cause severe damage to the engine .
(D Tips
- The oil pressure warn ing display. is
not an indicator of the oil level. Do not
rely on it . Instead, check the oil lev el in
your engine at regular intervals , pref­
erably each time you refuel, and alway s
before going on a long trip. .,.

-If you have the impression your engine
consumes excessive amounts of oi l, we
recommend that yo u consult your Audi
dealer to have the cause of your concern
properly diagnosed. Keep in mind that
the accurate measurement of oil con­
sumption requires great care and may
take some time . Your Audi dealer has in­
str uctions abou t how to measure oil con­
sump tion accurately.

256 Tire s and wheel s
Description
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors
th e pressure in the four tir es when driving .
The system uses sensors that measure the
temperature and pressure in the tires. Theda­
ta is sent from these sensors to the control
module by rad io frequency .
The tire pressure monitoring system shows
the current pressures and temperatures
of the
tires in the Infotainment system
c:> page 256 .
It also compares the current tire pressures
with the sto red press ures and gives a warn ing
in the dr iver information system if the t ire
p ressu re is different from what is sto red
<=:> page 257.
The system does not detect if the sto red ti re
p ressu res matc h the recommended tire pres­
sures . Yo u must resave the tire p ress ures
<=:> page 257:
- every time the tire pressures change, for ex­
amp le when the load in the veh icle changes,
- after replac ing a tire, or
- i f wheels with new wheel sensors are used .
.,&. WARNING
- The tire pressure mo nitor ing system as­
sists t he d rive r in monito ring t ire pres­
s ur es. The dr iver is responsible fo r having
the tires in flated t o the co rrec t press ure.
- Do not change t he tire pressu re when the
t empe rat ure of the ti re is high. This
cou ld resul t in ser io us damage to the ti re
and even cause t he tire to burst, increas ­
ing th e risk of an accident.
- A tire with low pressure flexes more . This
heats the tire up too much. This could
cause the tread to separate and even
cause the tire to burst, increasing the
risk
of a n accident.
- The tire pressure mon itor ing system
does not warn about damage or defects
in the tire construct ion that could ca use
the tire to b urst, for examp le . Inspect
yo ur t ires regularly .
{® For the sake of the environment
Low tire pressure increases fuel consump­
tion and tire wear .
(D Tips
- If tires are replaced, the senso rs/valves
do not need to be removed o r replaced.
Just replace the va lve stem and, if neces­
sary, the valve and the whee l electronics .
If you have questions, see your a uthor­
ized Aud i dea ler o r a qualified workshop .
- Us ing the tire mob ility kit can results in
an incorrect display or a ma lfunction in
t he tire pressure monito ring system .
Have the sensors replaced by an a uthor­
ized Aud i dea le r o r a qua lified workshop.

Note that the tire pressure also depends on
the tempe rature of the tire . Every 50 °F
(10 °C) increase in tire temperature results in
the tire pressure increasing by approximately
0 .1 bar. The tire pressure increases as the en­
g ine becomes warmer while drivi ng .

Malfunctions
Fig. 202 Display: indicator light wit h a message
If the tire pressure monitoring system is not
available, the
Ill ind icator light appears in
the dr iver information system. The
RIJ ind ica­
tor light also blinks for approximate ly one mi­
nutes each time the ignit ion is switched on.
The tire pressure monitoring system cannot be selected in the Infotainment system. The
malfunction could be caused by the following
examples:
- If the message appears at the end of the
adaptation phase, the system cannot detect
the wheels installed on the vehicle. This may
result from one or more wheels being instal­
led without wheel sensors or with incompat­
ible wheel sensors .
- A wheel sensor or another component has
failed .
- Using snow chains can affect the function of
the system because of the shielding effect
of the chains.
- The tire pressure monitoring system is not
available due to a malfunction.
- Transmitters with the same frequency, such
as headphones or remote-controlled devi ­
ces, may cause a temporary system mal­
function due to the strong electromagnetic
field .
The
Ill indicator light turns off once the tire
pressure monitoring system is available again.
I f you cannot correct the malfunction and the
Ill indicator light stays on, drive to an author­
ized Audi dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the malfunct ion corrected.

260 What do I do now?
Tire repair
General and safety pointers
Tire repair is intended only for temporary,
short -term use .
Fig. 205 Tire da mage for wh ic h the Tire Mob ility Sys ·
tern is not suited
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire repair kit,
the
Tire Mobility System (TMS ).
In the event of a tire failure, the TMS is in the
luggage compartment under the floor. It con­
sists of the tire sealant and an electric air
pump.
Using
TMS, tire damage caused by foreign
bod ies up to about
0.16 inch (4 mm) in diam­
eter can be sealed reliably.
The foreign object can stay in the tire.
The tire sealant must not be used:
-for cuts or punctures in the tire which are
larger than 0.16 inch (4 mm)
c:> fig. 205@
-for damage to the rim@
- if you have been driving with very low tire pressures or t ires with no air@
Using the
TMS is described in the section
c:> page 261, Preliminary steps.
TMS can be used at temperatures down to
-4 °F (- 20 °().
A WARNING
Take the following precautions after re­
pairing the tire:
- Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/ h)! -
Avoid full-throttle acceleration , heavy
braking and fast cornering.
- The vehicle's road behavior can be affect­
ed.
- Tires sea led with
TMS are intended only
for
temporary, short-term use.
-After using the tire sealant the tire pres­
sure monitoring system may no longer
work properly. Drive carefully to the next
professional repair facility.
- TMS must NOT be used,
- for cuts or punctures in the t ire which
are larger than 0.16 inch (4 mm)
- for damage to the rim
- if you have been driving with very low
tire pressures or tires with no air
- Seek professional assistance if it is not
possible to repair the tire with the tire
sealant.
A WARNING
The tire sea lant must not come into con ­
tact with skin, eyes or clothing.
- If you get any ti re sealant in your eyes or
come into contact w ith it, rinse the af ­
fected area thoroughly with clean water .
Find a phys ician immediately!
- Change any clothing contaminated with
tire sealant immediately .
- Do not inhale the vapor!
- If you have swallowed tire sealant, rinse
your mouth thoroughly right away and
drink plenty of water.
- Do not induce vomiting! Find a physi­
cian immediately!
- If you have allergic reactions, find a
physician immediately.
- Keep the tire sealant away from children.
- In vehicles with a tire pressure monitor-
ing system, using tire sealant can results
in an incorrect display or a system mal­
function. Drive carefu lly to the nearest
authorized Audi dealer or qualified work-
shop.
