.&. WARNING
Before you check anything in the engine com
partment, always read and heed all WARN
INGS¢ page 236.
CD Note
Driving with an insufficient oil level is likely to
cause severe damage to the engine.
{!) Tips
-The oil pressure warning display. is not
an indicator of the oil level. Do not rely on
it. Instead, check the oil level in your en
gine at regular intervals, preferably each
time you refuel , and always before going
on a long trip.
-If you have the impression your engi ne con
sumes excessive amounts of oil, we recom
mend that you consult an authorized Audi
dealer to have the cause of your concern
properly diagnosed. Keep
in mind that the
accurate measurement of oil consumption
requires great care and may take some
time. An authorized Audi dealer has instruc
tions about how to measure oil consump
tion accurately.
Checking the engine oil level
Fig. 185 Guide for determining levels on the oil dipstick
Determining the oil level
.. Park your vehicle on a level surface.
.. Let the engine run in idle briefly while it is at
operating temperature and then shut the en
gine off .
.. Wait approximately two minutes.

.. Remove the oil dipstick. Wipe off the oil dip
stick with a clean cloth and insert it all the way
in again.
.. Remove the dipstick again and then read the oil
level¢ fig. 185. Add engine oil if necessary

@ You may add oil. After adding oil, the level

Do not add any oil.
The engine o
il consumption may be up to
0.5 quart per 600 m iles (0.5 liter/1,000 km), de
p ending on driving style and operating cond i
tions. Consumption may be higher during the
first 3,000 miles (S,000 km). Because of this, the
engine oil level must be checked regularly. It
would be best to check each time you refue l your
vehicle
and before long drives.

too high. This heats the tire up

A WARNING
Please

pressure¢ page 260 and load
limits
¢page 262.
Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of
load or weight that any vehicle
and any tire can carry. A vehicle
that is overloaded will not handle
well and
is more difficult to stop.
Overloading can
not only lead to
loss of vehicle control, but can al
so
damage important parts of the
vehicle and can lead to sudden
tire failure, including a blowout
and sudden deflation
that can
cause
the vehicle to crash.
Your safety and
that of your pas
sengers also depends on making
sure that load limits are not ex
ceeded. Vehicle load includes ev

the vehicle. These load limits are
technically referred
to as the vehi
cle's Gross Vehicle
Weight Rat
ing
("GVWR").
The "GVWR" includes the weight
of the basic vehicle, all factory in
stalled accessories, a full tank of
fuel, oil, coolant and other fluids
plus maximum load. The maxi
mum load includes
the number of
passengers that the vehicle is in
tended to carry ("seating capaci
ty") with an assumed weight of
150 lbs (68 kg) for each passen
ger
at a designated seating posi
tion and
the total weight of any
luggage
in the vehicle.
The Gross Axle
Weight Rating
("GAWR") is the maximum load
that can be applied at each of the
vehicle's two axles.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Vehicle capacity weight
The vehicle capacity weight (max. load) is listed
either on the driver's side B-pillar or inside the
fuel filler flap.
& WARNING
- The
actual Gross Axle Weight Rating at the
front and rear axles should not exceed the
permissible weights, and their combination
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating .
- Exceeding
permissible weight ratings can
result in vehicle damage, accidents and per
sonal injury .

Technical data
@ Note
- The vehicle capacity
weight figures apply
when the load is distributed evenly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to the
rear axle as possible so that the vehicle's
handling is not impaired.
-Do not exceed the maximum permissible
axle loads or the maximum gross vehicle
weight. Always remember that the vehicle's
handling will be affected by the extra load.
Therefore, adjust your speed accordingly.

observe local regulations.
