@) For the sake of the environment
-Before changing your oil, first make sure
you know where you can properly dispose of
the used oil.
- Always
dispose of used engine oil properly.
Do not dump it on garden soil, wooded
areas, into open streams or down sewage
drains.
- Recycle
used engine oil by taking it to a used
engine oil collection facility in your area, or
contact a service station.
Coo Ling system
Coolant
The engine coolant performs two functions: it
keeps
the engine from overheating and it pro­
tects the engine from freezing in the winter.
The cooling system is sealed and generally re­
q uires
little attention.
The cooling
system has been filled at the factory
with a
permanent coolant which does not need to
be changed. The coolant consists of a mixture of
specially conditioned water and the manufactur­
er's glycol-based coolant additive G13 antifreeze
with anticorrosion additives (50% for USA mod­
els; 60% for Canadian models). This mixture
both assures the necessary frost protection and
protects metal components in the engine's cool­
ing
system from corrosion and scaling. It also
raises
the boiling point of the coolant.
Do not reduce the concentrat ion of the coolant in
the summer by addi ng p la in water. The propor­
tion of coolant additive must be at least 50°/o
but not more than 60°/o to maintain antifreeze
protection and cooling efficiency. If the coolant
frost protection is too low, the coolant could
freeze and damage the vehicle heating and en­
gine cooling system.
For year-round driving,
antifreeze is added at the
factory for temperatures down to:
- -
31 °F ( -35 °C) USA
- -40 °F ( -40 °C) Canada.

If you must add coolant, use a mixture of water
and coolant additive. Mixing the coolant additive
with distilled
water is recommended.
A WARNING
~ h . Before you check anything in t e engine com-
partment, always read and heed all WARN­
INGS C)page 236.
CD Note
-Before winter sets in, have the coo lant
checked to see if the coolant additive in you r
vehicle is
sufficient to meet the climate con­
d itions. This is especia l
ly important if you
live
in a regio n where the winter is extre m e­
ly cold . If necessary, increase the proportion
o f coo la
nt ad ditive to 60o/o.
-When add ing coolant additive to your cool­
ing
system, remember:
-We recommend using only coolant addi­
tive G12++
or G13 (check the label) for
your vehicle. This coolant additive is avail­
able at authorized Audi dealers. Other
types of antifreeze can significantly re­
duce corrosion protection. The resulting
corrosion can cause a loss of coolant and
serious engine damage.
-Do not add any type of radiator leak sealant
to your vehicle's engine coolant. Adding ra­
dia to r repair fluid may adversely
affect the
func tion and performance of your cooling
system and could result in damage not cov ­
ered by your New Veh icle Limited W arranty .

-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.

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 .
