-There is no vehicle stabilization when ESC/
ASR are switched off.
(D Tips
-When the cruise control system is switched
on, ESC/ ASR cannot be switched off or sport
mode cannot
be switched on.
- Malfunctions in the rear spoiler
or the Audi
magnetic ride may make
it impossible to
switch the ESC/ ASR off or to switch sport
mode on.
Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not achieve their full braking
effect during the first 250 mi (400 km) . They
must be "broken in" first. However, you can com­
pensate
for the slightly reduced braking force by
pressing
firmly on the brake pedal. Avoid heavy
braking during the break-in period.
Wear
Brake pad wear depends largely on the way the
vehicle is driven and on operating conditions.
This is especially true
if you are driving frequently
in
the city and on curves or with a sporty driving
style.
Operating noise
Noises may occur when braking depending on the
speed, braking force and outside conditions such
as temperature and humidity.
Effect of water and road salt
In certain situations, for example after driving
through water, in heavy
rain, after overnight con­
densation
or after washing your car, the braking
effect can be reduced by moisture or ice on the
brake rotors and brake pads. The brakes
must be
"dried" first with a few careful brake applica­
tions.
At higher speeds and with the windshield wipers
turned
on, the brake pads press against the brake
rotors
for a short amount of time. This action
which is
not felt by the driver happens at regular
Intelligent Technology
intervals and facilitates a better reaction time for
the brakes in wet weather.
T
he braking effect can also be reduced if you are
driving on salted roads and you do
not apply the
brakes for Long periods of time. The Layer of salt
on the brake rotors and pads must be worn off
first when the brakes are applied.
Corrosion
Leaving the vehicle parked for Long periods of
time, Low mileage and avoiding heavy braking
can contribute
to corrosion on the brake rotors
and
dirty brake pads.
If you usually avoid heavy braking or ifthere is
corrosion present, occasiona l heavy braking
at
high speeds is recommended to clean the brake
rotors and
pads¢.&..
Brake system malfunction
if you notice that the brake pedal travel has sud­
denly gotten Larger, then a brake circuit may have
failed. Drive
to an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility immediately to have
the problem corrected. On the way there, drive
with reduced speed and keep in mind that a Long
braking distance and increased pressure on the
brake pedal will be necessary.
Low brake fluid level
When the brake fluid Level is Low, malfunctions in
the brake system may occur. The brake fluid Level
is electronically monitored.
Brake booster
The brake booster amplifies the pressure you ap­
ply to the brake pedal. It only works when the en­
gine is running.
A WARNING
-New brake pads do not achieve their full
braking effect during the first 250 mi
(400 km). They must be "broken in" first.
However, you
can compensate for the
slightly reduced braking force by pressing
firmly on the brake pedal. Avoid heavy brak-
ing during
the break-in period. ~

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.
-For more information about engine oil that
has been approved for your vehicle, please
contact either your
authorized Audi dealer
or Audi Customer
Relations at

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

Service interval display
The service interval display detects when your ve­
hicle
is due for service.
Fig . 191 Inst rument cluster display: serv ice in terva l d is ­
p lay (exa mpl
e)
The service interval display works in two stages:
-Inspection or oil change reminder: after a cer­
tain distance driven, a message appears in the
Infotainment system display each time the ig­
nition is switched on
or off¢ fig. 191. The re­
main ing
distance or time is displayed briefly.
-Inspection or oil change due: if your vehicle
has reached an inspection or oil change interval
or both intervals at the same time, the mes­
sage Inspection due! or Oil chang e due! or Oil
cha nge and inspection due! appears briefly af­
ter switching the ignition on/off.
Check ing s ervice intervals
You can check the remaining distance or time un­
til the next oil change or next inspection. Select
in the Infotainment system: the IMENUI button>
Vehicle > left control button > Ser vice & checks >
Service intervals .
@ Note
-Follow ing the service intervals is critical to
maintaining the service life and value of
your vehicle, especially the engine. Even if
the mileage on the vehicle is low, do not ex­
ceed
the time for the next service.
- Calcu l
ating the time to the next o il change
is interrupted when the vehi cle battery is
disco n
nected. If the vehicle is not driven for
a long period
of time, check the mainte­
nance schedule so that you can follow th e
maintenance intervals .
