-Determine the depth before driving through
water.
-Do not stop the vehicle, drive in reverse or
switch the engine off when driving through
water.
- Keep in mind that oncoming vehicles may
create waves that raise the water level and
make it too deep for your vehicle to drive
through safely.
- Avoid driving
through salt water (corrosion).
Economical and environmentally-friendly
driving
The amount of fuel consumption, the envi ron­
mental impact and the wear to the engine,
b rakes and tires depends mostly on yo ur driving
style. Wit h
an anticipatory and economic driv ing
style, fu
el consumption can be reduced by ap­
proximately 10-lSo/o. The following tips will help
you conserve the environment and your money at
the same time.
Anticip atory driv ing
A veh icle uses the most fuel when a ccele rating.
When you drive with anticipation, you do not
need to brake as often and thus acce lerate less.
When possible, let your vehicle coast with a gea r
engaged -for example, when you notice that the
next traffic light is red.
Avoid full acceleration
You should rarely travel at the maximum vehicle
speed. High speeds cause a disproportionately
high increase in fuel consumption, emissions and
traffic noise. Slower driving saves fuel.
Reduce idling time
It pays off to stop the engine, for example when
at railroad crossings or traffic lights with longer
red lights. Stopping the engine for 30-40 sec­
onds already saves more fuel than the amount of
extra fuel needed to restart the engine.
It takes a very long time in idle to warm the en­
gine up to operating temperature. Wear and
emissions are especially high in the warm-up
Driving
phase. Therefore, you should begin driving im­
mediately after starting the engine. Avoid high
RPMs while doing this.
Service regularly
By servic ing you r vehicle regularly, you can help
to reduce fuel consumption before you even start
to drive . The maintenance condition of your vehi­
cle not only affects traffic safety and long-term
val ue b ut also impacts fuel co nsumptio n.
A poorly serviced engine can lead to fuel con­
sumption that is 10% higher than normal.
Also check the oil level when refueling. The oil
con sumpti on
depends largely on the engine load
and speed. It is no rmal for the oil consumption
of a new engine to reach its lowest point only af­
ter a certain amount of use. Therefore, the oil
consumption can only be properly judged after
approximately 3,000 mi (5,000 km) have been
driven.
Avoi d short trip s
The engine and exhaust cleaning system must
reach their optimal operating tempera tu re to ef­
fectively reduce consumption and emissions.
A cold engine consumes a disproportionately
high
amount of f u el. The engine is at operating
temperature and consumption has normalized
only after approximately four kilometers.
Q) Note
Do not leave engine idling unattended after
starting. If warning lights should come on to
indicate improper operation, they would go
unheeded. Extended idling also produces
heat, which could result in overheating or
other damage to the vehicle or other proper­
ty.
CD Note
-Have your vehicle maintained properly and
in accordance with the service recommenda­
tions in your Warranty & M ain tenance book-
let. Lac k of proper mai ntenance as well as
improper use of th e vehi cle w il l impair the
function of the emission control system and
cou ld lead to damage. .,..

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.

.. 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

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ~Only use winter tires that are approved for your
vehicle.
~Please note that the maximum permitted
speed may be lower with winter tires q ,&.. An
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Serv­
ice Facility
can inform you about the maximum
permitted speed for your tires.
~Check the tire pressure after installing wheels
qpage260.
The effectiveness of winter tires is reduced great­
ly when
the tread is worn down to a depth of
0.157 in (4 mm). The characteristics of winter
tires also decrease greatly as the tire ages, re­
gardless
of the remaining tread.
A WARNING
1-=---Never drive faster than the maximum per-
mitted speed for your tires. This could cause
the tires to heat up too much. This increases
the risk
of an accident because it can cause
the
tire to burst.
- Always
adapt your driving to the road and
traffic conditions. Drive carefully and reduce
your speed on icy or slippery roads.
Even
winter tires can lose traction on black ice.
@ For the sake of the environment
Reinstall summer tires at the appropriate
time, because they provide better handling
when roads are free
of snow and ice. Summer
tires cause
Less road noise, tire wear and fuel
consumption.
(j) Tips
You can also use all season tires instead of
winter tires. Please note that in some coun­
tries where
winter tires are required, only
winter tires with the & symbol may be per­
mitted.
Snow chains
Snow chains not only improve the driving in win­
ter road conditions, but also the braking.
~Only install snow chains on the front wheels.
This applies also
to vehicles with all wheel
drive*.
Wheels
~Check and correct the seating of the snow
chains
after driving a few feet, if necessary. Fol­
low
the instructions from the manufacturer.
~Note the maximum speed of 30 mph (50 km/
h). Note the Local regulations.
Use of snow chains is only permitted with certain
rim/tire combinations due to technical reasons.
Check with an authori zed Audi dealer or author­
ized Audi Service Facility
to see if you may use
snow chains .
You must remove the snow chains on roads with­
out snow . Otherwise, you could impair driving
ability and damage the tires.
A WARNING
Using incorrect snow chains or installing snow
chains incorrectly
can result in loss of vehicle
control, which increases
the risk of an acci­
dent.
CD Note
- Snow chains can damage the rims/wheel
covers* if the chains come into direct con·
tact with them. Remove the wheel covers*
first. Use coated snow chains.
-
Using snow chains that add more than 0.53
in (0.53 in) of height can severely damage
the wheel housings and
other vehicle com­
ponents.
(D Tips
When using snow chains, it may be useful to
switch on sport mode ~page 88.
Low aspect ratio tires
Your Audi is factory-equipped with low aspect ra­
tio tires. These tires have been thoroughly tested
and been selected specifically
for your model for
their superb performance, road feel and handling
under a variety
of driving conditions. Ask your au­
thorized Audi dealer
for more details .
The
Low aspect ratio of these tires is indicated by
a numeral
of SS or less in the tire's size designa­
tion. The numeral represents the ratio of the
tire's sidewall height in relation to its tread width..,.
