sumes excessive amounts of oil, we recom­
mend that you cons ult your Audi dealer to
have the cause of your concern properly di­
agnosed. Keep in mind that the accurate
measurement of oil consumption requires
great care and may take some time. Your
A udi dealer has instructions about how to
measure oil consumption accurate ly.
Checking the engine oil level and adding
engine oil
The engine oil level can be checked in the Info­
tainment system
Fig. 183 Eng ine compartment : eng ine oil filler opening
cover
Obse rve the safety precautions¢ &. in Working
in the engine compartment on page 198 .
Checking the engine oil level
.,. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
.,. Shut the engine off when it is warm. Wait ap­
prox imately two m inutes so that the engine oil
can flow back in to the oil pan .
.,. Switch only the ignition back on.
.,. Se lect: the
ICARI function button > (Car )* Sy s­
tems
control button > Service & checks > Oil
le vel.
.,. Read the oil level in the Infota inment system.
Add engine oil if the bar in the oil level indica­
tor is just before "min".
Adding engine o il
.,. Turn the engine off.
.,. Unscrew the engine oil filler opening cap
"t!:r.
¢fig.183, ¢page 201, fig.182.
.,. Carefully add 0.5 quart (0.5 liter) of the correct
o il
¢ page 201.
Check ing and Filling
.,. Close the engine oi l filler open ing cap "t!:r. .
.,. Close the hood, restart the ignition after two
m inutes and read the current o il leve l in the In­
fotainment system.
A WARNING
-When adding oil, do not let oi l dr ip onto hot
e ngine components. This increases the risk
of afire.
- You must seal the cap on the oil filler open­
ing correctly so that oi l does not leak ou t
onto the hot engine and exhaust system
when the engine is runn ing, be ca use this is
a fire hazard.
- Always clean sk in thoro ughly if it comes into
con ta ct w ith eng ine oi l.
d) Note
-The e ngine o il level must not be under the
"min" marking, beca use this increases the
r is k of engine damage.
- If the message
Oil level is too full. Pleas e
reduce
oil level. appea rs, the re is too m uch
oil in the engine and the re is a r is k of cata­
lyt ic converte r and engine damage. Do no t
start the eng ine. Co ntact an a uthorized Audi
dea ler or authorized Audi Service Facility to
have excess engine oil extracted if necessa­
ry.
-Do not mix any ad ditiona l lubricants into
the engine oil. Damage caused by such add i­
tives is not covered by the warranty .
@ For the sake of the environment
- Oil sho uld never enter the sewer system or
come into contact with the ground .
- Pay attention to lega l req uiremen ts when
disposing of empty oil containers .

The correct tire pressure for tires
mounted in the factory and for
the spare tire* is indicated on a la­ bel. The label is located on the B­
pillar ¢
fig. 190, ¢ fig. 191.
Use the tire pressure specified for
a normal vehicle load when the
vehicle is partially loaded¢
table
on page 222.
If driving the vehi­
cle when fully loaded, you must increase the tire pressure to the
maximum specified pressure¢
_A.

Checking/correcting tire
pressure
,..Check the tire pressure at least
once per month and also check it
before every long drive .
.,..Always check the tire pressure
when the tires are
cold. Do not
reduce the pressure if it increas­
es when the tires are warm.
.,.Check the labe l¢
fig. 191 for
the correct tire pressure based
on vehicle load.
.,..Correct the tire pressure if nec­
essary .
.,..Store the new tire pressure in
the Infotainment system
¢ page 230 .
.,.Check the pressure in the emer­
gency tire* /spare tire*. A lways
maintain the maximum temper­
ature that is specified for the
tire.
A WARNING
Always adapt the t ire pressure
to your driving style and vehicle load.
-Overloading can lead to loss of vehicle control and increase
the risk of an accident. Read and follow the important safe­
ty precautions in ¢
page 223,
Tires and vehicle load limits.

Tire pressure monitoring system
Applies to: vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring System in­
dicator
The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too low
or if there is a system malfunction .
Fig. 192 Instrument clus ter : indicator ligh t w ith message
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure monitor­
ing system compares the tire tread circumfer­
ence and vib ration characteristics of the individu­
al tires.
If the pressure changes in one or more
tires, this is indicated in the instrument cluster
display with an indicator light
RE and a message.
If only one tire is affected, the location of that
tire will be indicated.
The tire pressures must be stored in the Infotain ­
ment system again each time the pressures
change (switching between partial and full load pressure) or after changing or replacing a tire on
your vehicle ¢
page 230 . The tire pressure moni ­
toring system only monitors the tire pressure you have stored. Refer to the tire pressure label for
the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle
¢page 220, fig.191 .
Tire tread circumference and v ibration character­
istics can change and cause a tire pressure warn­
ing if:
- the tire pressure in one or more tires is too low.
- the tire has structural damage.
- the tire was replaced or the tire pressure was
changed and it was not stored
¢ page 230.
- the spare tire* is installed.

after switching the ignition on or while driving
and the
RE indicator light in the instrument clus­
ter blinks for approximately one minute and then
stays on, there is system malfunction. Try to
store the correct tire pressures¢
page 230. If
the indicator light does turn off or turns on again
after a short period of time , drive to an author­
ized Audi dealer or author ized Audi Service Facili­
ty immediately to have the malfunction correct­
ed.
_& WARNING ,..___
- If the tire pressure indicator appears in the
d isplay, reduce your speed immediately and
avoid any hard steering or braking maneu­
vers. Stop as soon as possible and check the
tires and their pressure.
- The driver is responsible for maintaining the
correct tire pressure. You must check the
tire pressure regularly.
- Under certain conditions (such as a sporty
driving style, winter conditions or unpaved roads), the tire pressure monitoring system
indicator may be delayed .
@ Tips
-The tire pressure monitoring system can al­
so stop working when there is an ESC mal­
function .
- Using snow chains may result in a system
malfunction.
- The tire pressure monitoring system in your
Audi was calibrated with "Audi Original
Tires"¢
page 217 . We recommend that you
use these tires.
