Energy management
The starting ability is optimized
The energy management system manages the
electrical energy distribution
and optimizes the
availability
of electrical energy for starting the
engine.
When a vehicle with a conventiona l energy sys­
tem is not driven for a long time, the battery is
drained by equipment (for example the immobil­
izer). In
certain circumstances, there could may
not be enough energy to start the engine.
Your vehicle
is equipped with an intelligent ener­
gy
management system for distributing electrici­
ty. T his sign ificant
ly improves the starting ability
and increases the battery life.
The
energy management system Is made up of
battery diagnosis, Idling current management
and dynamic energy management.

Engine oil specifications
The engine oil used must conform to exact speci­
fications.
The ser vice interva l disp lay in the instrument
cluster of your vehicle will inform you when it is
time for an oil change . We recommend that you
have your
oil changed by an authorized Audi Serv­
ice Advisor.
If you have to top off the oil between oil changes,
use the Audi oil quality standard specified in the
table.
Audi oil quality standard
G
asoline VW S02 00 or
engin e vw S0400
Using the proper engine oil is important for the
functionality and service life of the engine. Your
engine was factory-filled
with a high-quality oil
which
can usually be used throughout the entire
year.
CD Note
Your Limited New Vehicle Warranty does not
cover damage or malfunctions due to failure
to follow recommended maintenance and use
requirements as set forth in the Audi Owner's
Manual and Warranty
& Maintenance booklet.
-
Use only a high quality engine oil that ex-
pressly complies
with the Audi oil quality
standard specified for your vehicle's engine.
Using any other oil can cause serious engine
damage.
-
Do not mix any lubricants or other additives
into the engine oil. Doing so can cause en­
gine damage.
Tips
If you need to add oil and there is none availa­
ble
that meets the Audi oil quality standard
your engi
ne requires, you may add a tota l of
no more than O.S qt/l of a high-quality "syn­
thetic" oil that meets the following spec ifica­
tions.
Checking and F illing
-ACEA A3 or API SM with a viscosity grade of
SAE OW-30, SAE SW-30 or SAE SW-40.

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 cool­
i ng
of internal engine components, all internal
combustion engines consume a certa in amount
of oil. Oil consumption varies from engine to en­
gine and may change significantly over
the life of
the engine. Typically, engines with a specified
break-in period
(see~ page 56) consume more
oil during the break-in period than they consume
after oil consumption has stabilized.
Under normal cond it ions, the rate of oil con­
s u
mption depends on th e qu ality and viscos ity of
the oil, the RPM (revolutions per minute) at
which the engine is operated, the ambient tem­
perature and road conditions. Further factors are
the amount of oil dilution from water condensa­
tion or fuel residue and the oxidation level of the
oil. As any engine is subject to wear as mileage
builds
up, the oil consumption may increase over
t ime
until replacement of worn components may
become necessary.
With all these variab les coming into play, no
standard rate
of oil consumption can be estab­
lished
or specified. There is no alternative to reg­
ular and frequent checking of the oil level, see
Note .
If the yellow engine oil level warning symbol II
in the instrument cluster lights up, you should
check
the oil level as soon as possible
~page 240. Top off the oil at your earliest con-
venience

.&. 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.

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.

1-
-When adding oil, do not let oil drip onto hot
engine components. Th ere could be risk of a
fire.
-
You must secure the cap on the oil filler
opening correctly so that oil does not leak
out onto the hot engine and exhaust system
when the engine is r unning, because this is
a fire
hazard.
- Always clean skin thoroughly if it comes into
co ntact with engine oil.
«I) Note
-The oil level must not be above the@
range, because this can cause damage to
the catalytic converter or the engi ne. Con­
tact an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
A udi Service Facility to have excess oil ex­
tracted if necessary.
-
Do no t mix any additional lu bricants into
the engine oil. Damage cause by such addi­
tives is not covered by the warranty.
@ For the sake of the environment
-Oil should never enter the sewer system or
come into contact with the ground.
-
Pay attention to legal requirements when
disposi ng of empty oi l containers.
Changing the engine oil
We recommend that have your oil changed by an
authorized Audi dealer or a qualified service
sta­
tion.
Before you check anything in the engine compart­
ment, alwa y s read and heed all WARNINGS
~page236.
The engine oil must be changed accord ing to the
intervals specified i n your Warranty & Mainte­
nance booklet. This is very important be cause the

Checking the engine coolant level
""Park your vehicle on a level surface.
"" switch the ignition off.
.. Read the coolant level on the coolant expansion
tank
Q page 238, fig. 184. The coolant level
must be between the markings when the en­
gine
in cold. When the engine is warm it can be
slightly above
the upper marking.
Adding coolant
Requirement: there must be a res idual amount of
coo l
ant in the expans io n tank c:?(i) .
""Let the engine cool down.
.. Place a cloth over the coolant expansion tank
cap and unscrew
the cap counterclockwise
c:?,8..
""Add coolant mixed in the correct ratio
i:?page 242 up to the upper marking.
""Make sure that the fluid level remains stable.
Add more coolant if necessary.
"" Close the cap securely .
A coolant loss suggests a leak. Immediately drive
your vehicle
to an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized
Audi Service Facility and have the cool­
ing system inspected.
If the cooling system is not
leaking, a loss can come from
the coolant boiling
through overheating and being pushed
out of the
cooling system.
.&. WARNING
-The cooling system is pressurized and can be-
come very hot.
To reduce the risk of burns
from hot coolant:
-
Do not open the coolant expansion tank cap
w ith
the engine hot. There is a risk of burns .
- Stop
the engine and allow it to cool.
-
Protect your face, hands and arms from es-
caping coolant and
steam by covering the
coolant tank cap with a large, thick cloth.
- Turn
the coolant tank cap counterclockwise
slowly and keep light pressure on
the cap.
-
To reduce the risk of burns, do not allow any
antifreeze or coolant to dr
ip onto the ex-
Checking and Filling
ha ust system or hot engine components.
The ethylene glycol in engine coolant can
catch fire under certain circumstances.
- The coolant additive and the coolant can be
dangerous to your health.
For this reason,
keep
the coolant in the original container
away from children. There is a
risk of poi­
soning.
-When working in the engine compartment,
remember
that the radiator fan can switch
on even if
the ignition is switched off, which
increases
the risk of personal injury.
CD Note
Do not add coolant if the expans ion tank is
empty . Air could enter the cooling system and
damage
the eng ine. If this is the case, do not
continu e driving. See an authorized
Audi dea l­
er or authorized
Audi Service Facility for assis­
tance.
Radiator fan
The radiator fan switches on automatically by it­
self.
An auxiliary electric radiator fan switches on and
off depending on coolant temperature and other
vehicle operating conditions.
After you switch
the engine off, the auxiliary fan
can continue running for
up to 10 minutes -even
with
the ignit ion off. It can even switch on again
later by itself c:? & . if
- the temperature of
the engine coolant rises due
to
the heat build-up from the engine in the en­
gine compartment, or
-
the engi ne compartment heats up because the
vehicle is parked in intense sunlight.
.&. WARNING
-To reduce the risk of personal injury never
touch
the radiator fan.
- The auxiliary electric fan
is temperature
controlled and can switch on suddenly even
when
the engine is not running.

-The auxiliary radiator fan switches on auto­
matically when the engine coolant reaches a
certain temperature and will continue to run
until the coolant temperature drops.
Brake fluid
Checking brake fluid level
Fig. 188 Engine compartment: cover on the brake fluid
reservoir
Before you check anything in the engine compart­
ment, always read and heed all WARNINGS
¢page 236.
~ Read the brake fluid level from the brake fluid
reservo ir ¢ fig. 188, ¢page 238, fig. 184. The
brake fluid level must be between the "MIN"
and "MAX" markings.
The location
of the brake fluid reservoir can be
seen in the engine compartment illustration
¢page238.
The fluid level may drop slightly after some time
due to the automatic adjustment of the brake
pads. This is not cause for alarm.
If the brake fluid level falls considerably below
the "MIN" mark, the brake warning/indicator
light .. (U.S. models) I. (Canadian models)
will come on ¢ page 11. Do not continue to oper­
ate the vehicle. The complete brake system
should be thoroughly checked by an authorized
Audi dealer or other qualified facility and the
cause corrected. Ifthe brake fluid level is too
low, the brake warning/indicator light will illumi­
nate. Contact an authorized Audi dealer immedi­
ately.
244
Changing brake fluid
Have the brake fluid changed by an experienced
technician .
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air. If the
water content in the brake fluid is too high, cor­
rosion in
the brake system may result after ape­
riod of time. The boiling point of the brake fluid
will
also decrease considerably and decrease
braking performance.
Therefore, the brake fluid must be changed every
two years. Always use new brake fluid which con­
forms to Federal Motor Vehicle Standard "FMVSS
116 DOT 4".
The brake fluid reservoir can be difficult to reach,
therefore, we recommend that you have the
brake fluid changed by your authorized Audi
dealer. Your dealer has the correct tools, the
right brake fluid and the know-how to do this for
you.
8._ WARNING
- Brake fluid is poisonous. It must be stored
only in the closed original container out of
the reach of children!
-Brake failure can result from old or inappro­
priate brake fluid. Observe these precau­
tions:
-Use only brake fluid that meets SAE speci­
fication
J 1703 and conforms to Federal
Motor Vehicle Standard 116. Always check
with
your authorized Audi dealer to make
sure you are using the correct brake fluid.
The
correct type of brake f lui d is also ind i­
cated on the brake fluid reservoir .
- The
brake fluid must be new. Heavy use of
the brakes can cause a vapor lock if the
brake fluid is left in the system too long.
This
can seriously affect the efficiency of
the brakes as well as your safety. This
could
result in an accident.
CD Note
Brake flu id will damage the paint of your veh i-
cle .
