General notes
Safety is the first priority
Your safety is our first priority.
This chapter contains important information,
tips, suggestions and warnings that you should
read and observe for your own safety and the
safety of your passengers.
A WARNING
- The information in this chapter is important
for the driver of the vehicle and the passen­
ger. The other chapters in this manual (and,
where applicable, in the other literature
supplied with the vehicle) contain further
important notes which you should read and
observe for your own safety and that of your
passenger.
- Ensure that the complete vehicle wallet is
always in the vehicle. This is especially im­
portant when you lend or sell the vehicle to
others.
Safety features
The safety features Listed here are part of the ve­
hicle's occupant restraint system. They work to­
gether to help reduce the risk of injury in a wide
variety of accident situations.
Your safety and the safety of your passengers
should not be left to chance. In the event of an
accident, the safety features incorporated in your
vehicle are capable of reducing the risk of injury.
These are just a few of the safety features in your
Audi:
- Seat belts for all seats
- Belt force limiters for all seats
- Belt tensioners for all seats
- Front airbags
- Side airbags in the backrests
- "ISOFIX" anchorages* for "ISO FIX" child seats
on the passenger's seat
-Adjustable steering column
220 These
individual safety features are harmonised
to provide you and your passenger with the best
possible protection in accident situations. How­
ever, they can only be effective if you and your
passenger sit in the correct position and adjust
and use the safety equipment properly.
For these reasons, this chapter explains why
these safety features are so important, how they
can protect you, what you need to remember
when using them, and how you and your passen­
gers can gain the most benefit from them. There
are also a number of important safety warnings
which you and your passengers should always ob­
serve in order to minimise the risk of injury.
Safety is everyone's responsibility!
Before every trip
The driver is responsible for the safety of the
passengers and the safe operation of the vehicle
at all times.
For your own safety and the safety of your pas­
senger, always note the following points before
every trip:
.,. Make sure that all lights and turn signals are
working properly .
... Check
the tyre pressures.
... Make sure that all windows are clean and give
good visibility to the outside.
... Secure all luggage and other items carefully
¢page 227.
... Make sure that no objects can interfere with

.&_ WARNING
- Never install a rearward-facing child seat on
the passenger's seat unless the passenger's
airbag has been deactivated -this can result
in potentially fatal injuries to the child
¢page 223.
- If you have deactivated the passenger's air­
bag, reactivate it as soon as the child seat is
no longer needed so that the airbag can
continue to give the required protection.
- It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that
the key-operated switch is set to the correct
position.

Emission control
systems
Catalytic converter
Applies to: vehicles with petrol engine
The vehicle must only be used with unleaded pet­
rol, otherwise the catalytic converter will be ir­
reparably damaged.
Never allow the fuel tank to run completely dry,
as the irregular supply of fuel can cause misfir­
ing. This allows unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust
system, which can cause overheating and dam­
age to the catalytic converter.
Diesel particulate filter
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
The diesel particulate filter can filter out almost
all soot particles contained in the exhaust gas. In
normal driving conditions the filter is self-clean-
244 ing.
Should the self-cleaning function of the filter
not be able to operate, e.g. when the vehicle is
continuously used only for short trips, the filter
becomes obstructed with soot and the symbol
C for the diesel particulate filter lights up
¢page 17.
A WARNING
The exhaust system is very hot when the vehi­
cle is being driven and after the engine has
been switched off.
- Never touch the tailpipes when they are hot
- risk of burns!
- Because of the high temperatures which can
occur in the emission control system, do not
park the vehicle where the exhaust can
come into contact with flammable materials
under the car (e.g. on grass or at the forest
edge) -risk of fire!
- Do not apply any underseal agents in the
area around the exhaust system -risk of
fire!
Engine compartment
Working on components in the engine
compartment
Extra caution is necessary when working on com­
ponents in the engine compartment.
Always be aware of the danger of injury and
scalding as well as the risk of accident or fire
when working in the engine compartment (e.g.
when checking and refilling fluids). Always ob­
serve the warnings listed below and follow all
normal safety precautions. The engine compart­
ment of any motor vehicle is a potentially haz­
ardous area ¢ A .
A WARNING
- Switch off the engine.
- Switch off the ignition.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Put the gear lever in neutral or selector in P.
- Wait for the engine to cool down.
- Keep children away from engine compart-
ment.

CX) Explanation
of warnings on vehicle battery:
® Wear safety
glasses!
A Battery
acid is extremely corrosive. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses.
@ Keep
open flames, sparks, uncovered
Lights and Lit cigarettes away from the
battery!
� A
highly explosive mixture of gases may
be given off when the battery is under
charge!
® Keep children
away from batteries and
battery acid.
.&_ WARNING
Any work on the batteries and electrical sys­
tem in your vehicle entails a risk of injury and
chemical burns in addition to danger of acci­
dent or fire. For this reason, you must have
the work carried out by a qualified workshop.
CD CAUTION
If the car is left standing for Long periods,
protect the battery from frost. The battery
will be damaged irreparably if it is allowed to
freeze <=> page 2 51.
@ For the sake of the environment
'8 Batteries contain toxic substances including
sulphuric acid and Lead. Please contact a
qualified workshop if you have any questions.
Vehicle battery
The term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
If the vehicle is not used for long periods
If you do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are
using. This Limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
Long period <=> page 118. Certain convenience fea­
tures, such as interior Lighting or electric seat ad­
justment, may not be available. These functions Checking
and topping up fluids
will be restored when you switch on the ignition
and start the engine.
Even though some systems are deactivated auto­
matically, certain electrical equipment continues
to draw current even when the ignition is off. If
the vehicle is Left standing for Long periods, this
can result in total battery discharge. If the vehi­
cle battery is allowed to discharge completely, an
internal chemical reaction damages the battery
irreparably. To avoid this, the vehicle battery
should be recharged at Least once a month
<=> page 251. Please contact a qualified workshop
if you have any questions.
Winter conditions
Cold weather is very hard on the vehicle battery.
The starting capacity may be reduced as a result.
For this reason, you should have the vehicle bat­
tery checked by a qualified workshop before the
start of winter.
Charging the vehicle battery
Fig. 219 Engine compartment: Terminals for jump leads
and battery charger

Note
The tyre pressures and temperatures are not
shown in the display when the vehicle is sta­
tionary or during the initialisation phase. Hor­
izontal dashes--.--will appear instead of the
pressure and temperature figures.
(1) Loss of tyre pressure
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system
If the indicator lamp RE appears, the tyre pres­
sure on at least one of the wheels is too low or
new sensors have not yet been initialised.
Indicator lamp [Bl lights up after switching
on the ignition
The tyre pressure is too low compared with the
reference value.
... Adjust the pressure of the relevant tyre(s) at
the next opportunity and store the pressures
¢page 261.
Indicator lamp [Bl lights up during a journey
Wheels with new sensors have not yet been ini­
tialised or the tyre pressure has reached a critical
level compared with the reference value.
... Avoid unnecessary braking and steering ma­
noeuvres.
... Adapt your driving style to the prevailing condi­
tions.
... As soon as you can do so safely, stop and check
the tyre(s).
... If it is possible to continue driving, you should
take the vehicle to a qualified workshop and
have the defective tyre(s) repaired or replaced
immediately.
A WARNING
Please observe the important safety informa­
tion and notes ¢page 260. Wheels
Storing new tyre pressures
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system
To enable the tyre pressure monitoring system
to work reliably, it is important to store the cor­
rect pressure settings.
You should always store the tyre pressures if new
sensors are fitted or after changing the pressures
when carrying a different amount of passengers
or luggage.
... Before storing the new tyre pressures, check
that the current pressures on all four wheels
correspond to the specified values and adapt
the pressures to the current load ¢ page 256,
Fig. 222. Only adjust and store the inflation
pressure of the tyres when they are at approxi­
mately ambient temperature. If the tyre tem­
peratures are higher than the ambient temper­
ature, the inflation pressures should be in­
creased by approx. 0.2 bar above the pressures
specified on the tyre pressure sticker.
... Switch on the ignition.
... Select the following on the infotainment sys­
tem: I MENU I button > Servicing & checks >
Tyre pressure loss indicator > Store tyre pres­
sures > Yes, store now. The tyre pressure moni­
toring system will then measure the current
tyre pressures when you drive the vehicle and
store them as the new reference values .
... If the new tyre pressures do not appear on the
infotainment display, you will need to drive for
about 10 minutes so that the sensor signal
from the wheels can be received again .
During this initialisation phase,--.--will be
shown on the pressure and temperature display
and some functions of the tyre pressure monitor­
ing system will not be available. The system will
warn you only if the pressure of one or more tyres
is below the minimum reference pressure.
If the indicator lamp RE lights up and the mes­
sage Tyre pressure: wheel change detected.
Please check all tyres and store pressures in
MMI appears, the system has detected that the
sensor positions have changed because of a
wheel change or that new sensors have been fit-
ted. Store the new tyre pressures.
