2017 AUDI Q3 instrument cluster

Check ing and F illing
To reduce the risk o f lime sca le deposits on the
spray nozzles, use clean water with low amounts
of calcium. A lways add window cleaner to the wa­
ter. When the outs ide temperatures are cold, an
anti-freezing agent should be added to the water
so that it does not freeze.
@ Note
-The concentration of anti-freezing agent
must be adjusted to the vehicle operating
cond itions in t he respective climate. A con­
centration that is too high can lead to veh i­
cle damage.
- Never add rad iator anti-freeze or other add i­
tives to the washe r fluid .
- Do not use a glass cleaner that contains
paint solvents, beca use this cou ld damage
the pa int.
Service interval display
The service interval display detects when your ve­
hicle is due for service.

ta in d istance is driven, a message appears in
the instrument cluster d isp lay every t ime the
ignition is sw itched on . T he remain ing distance
o r time is d isp layed b riefly.
- In spection or oil change due : if you r vehicle
has reached an inspection o r oi l change interval
o r both intervals at the same time, the mes­
sage
Inspection due! or Oil change due! or Oil
change and in spection due!
a ppears br iefly a f­
ter switching the ignition on .

also reduces fuel e fficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle's handling and stop­ p ing ability .
Pl ease no te that the TPMS is not a substi tute for
p roper tire maintenance, and it is the drive r's re ­
sponsib ility to maintain cor rect tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the leve l
to tr igger illum inat ion of the TPMS low tire pres ­
sure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been eq uipped with a TPMS
mal funct ion indicator to indicate when the sys ­
tem is not operating properly. The TPMS mal­
function indicator is combined w ith the low tire
pressure tellta le. Whe n the system detects a
malfunct ion, the telltale will flash for approx i­
mately one min ute and then remai n cont inuo usly
i llum inated. This sequence will continue upon
s ubseq uen t ve hicl e start- ups as long as the m al­
f u nction ex ists.
When the malfunct io n in dicator is ill uminated,
the system may not be ab le to detect or signa l
l ow tire press ure as intended . TPM S malfu nctions
may oc cur for a var iety of reasons, incl uding the
installation of replacement or alternate ti res o r
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly . Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after rep lacing one or
more t ires or whee ls on your ve hicle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to cont inue to funct ion
p roperly.

ind icator appears
A ppl ies to: ve hicles with Tir e Pressure Moni toring System in­

The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too low
or if th ere is a system malfunction .
Using the ABS sensors, the tire p ressure mo nitor­
