Telephone Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with telephone
To make phone coils in your vehicle using the
/11/111, connect your cell phone to the /11/111 via
Bluetooth.
Hand sfree
Afte r you have connected you r ce ll phone to the
MMI via Bluetooth , you can use the handsfree
system and operate telephone functions through
your MMI. You can make calls using the antenna on your cell phone.
A WARNING
- Med ical experts warn that cell phones can
interfere w ith the funct ion of pacemakers .
Always mainta in a m inimum d istance of 20
cent imeters between the cell phone anten
na and the pacemaker.
- Do not carry the cell phone in a pocket di
rectly over the pacemaker when the phone
is switched on.
- Sw itch the cell phone off immediately if
you suspect it may be interfering w ith the
pacemaker.
- Do not use the vo ice recognit ion system*
Q page 169 in emergencies because your
vo ice may change in stressful situations . It
may take longer to dial the number or the
system may not be able to dial it at all. Dial
the emergency numbe r manua lly.
- Switch your cell phone off in areas where
there is a risk of an exp losion . These loca
tions are not always clearly mar ked. This
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical
storage facilities or transport vehicles, or lo cations where fue l vapors (such as propane
or gaso line vapor in vehicles or bui ldings),
chemicals or large quantities of dust parti
cles (such as flour, sawdust or metal) may
be present in the air. This also applies to all
other locations where you would normally
turn yo ur vehicle engine off .

Gasoline additives
Applies to: vehicles with gasol ine engine
A majo r concern among many auto manufactur
ers is carbon deposit build-up caused by the type
of gasoline you use.
A lthough gasoline grades d iffer from one manu
facturer to another, they have cer tain things in
common . A ll gasoline grades contain substances
that can cause deposits to collect on vita l engine
parts, such as fue l injectors and intake valves . Al
though most gasoline brands include additives to keep engine and fuel systems clean, they are not
equally effective.
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas
oline. For more informat ion on TOP TIER Deter
gent Gasoline, please go to the official website (www.toptiergas .com) .
Check ing and Filling
After an extended period o f using inadeq uate
fuels, bui lt-up ca rbon deposits can rob your en
gine of peak performance.
(D Note
- Damage or malfunction d ue to poor f uel
quality is no t covered by the Audi New Veh i

- Do not add af termarket fuel addi tive prod
u cts to your fue l tank.
Diesel fuel
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
Always use U LSD (Ult ra Low Sulfur Diesel) No. 2.
T he ULSD No. 2 meets the AS TM 0975.
D iesel fuel w ith concentrations of b iod iesel h igh

Service station fuel pumps are labeled with the
cor rect fuel i nformation for easy recogn ition by
the user. If the d iesel fue l pump is not labeled

U LSD No . 2 may not be ava ilable outside the USA
and Canada. Be su re to check befo re t raveling to
othe r countr ies.
ULSD No . 2 can become thicker in very cold tem
peratures, and th is can impa ir the engine's start

Note
Your Limited New Vehicle Warranty does not

to follow recommended maintenance and use requirements as set fo rth in the Aud i Owner's
Manual and Warranty
& Maintenance booklet.
- Use only a high q ual ity eng ine oil that ex-

Using any other oil can cause serious engine
damage .
- Do not mix any l ubricants o r other additives

(D Tips
If you need to add oil and there is none availa

Engine oil consumption
The engin e in your v ehicl e dep ends on an ad e
quat e amount of oil to lubricate and cool all of
its moving parts.
In order to provide effect ive lub rication and cool
ing of inte rnal engine components, all inte rnal
combustion engines consume a certain amount
of oil. Oil consumption varies from eng ine to en
gine and may change significantly over the life of
the engine. Typ ically, engines w ith a specified
break -in period (see
c> page 79) consume more
o il dur ing the break-in per iod than they consume
after oil consumption has stabilized .
Under normal cond itions, the rate of oil con
sumption depends on the qua lity and viscos ity of
the oil, the RPM (revolutions per m inute) at
which the engine is operated, the amb ient tem
perature and road condi tions. Further facto rs a re
the amo unt of oil di lution from water co ndensa
tion or fue l resid ue a nd the oxidation level of the
oi l. As any engine is subject to wear as mileage
builds up, the oi l consumption may increase ove r
time unt il replacement of worn components may
become necessary.
With a ll these variab les coming into play, no
standard rate of oi l consumption can be estab
lished or spec ified . There is no alternative to reg
ular and frequent checking of the oi l level, see
Note .
If the y ellow engine oil leve l warning symbo l Bl

Adding engine oil
Fo llow the safety precautions ~ .&. in Working in
the engine compartment on page 322.
- Stop the engine and open the hood
~ page 323.
-Unscrew the cap 9=;,1 on the engine oi l filling

-Carefully add 0.5 quart (0.5 liter) of the correct
oil ~
page 324 .
-Close the eng ine oil filler opening cap.
- Close the hood, restart the ignit ion after two
m inutes and read the current o il level in the In
fotainment system.
&_ WARNING
- When adding oil, do not let oil dr ip onto hot
engine components. This inc reases the risk
of afire.
- You must secure the cap on the oil fi ller
open ing correctly so that oil does not leak
ou t onto the ho t engine and exhaust system
when the engine is running, beca use this is
a fire hazard .
- Always clean skin thoroughly if it comes into
contact with engine oil.
(D Note
-The engine o il level must not be under the
" min" marking, because this incre ases the
risk of engine damage.
- If the message

- Oil should never enter the sewer system or
come into contact with the ground.
- Pay attention to legal requirements when
disposing of empty oil containers.

- The oil level indicator in the display is only
an informational disp lay. If the oil leve l is
too low, a minimum oil warning appears in
the instrument cluster. Add oil and close
the hood. The current oil level is displayed
in the instrument cluster the next time the
ignition is switched on .
- The engine oil consumption may be up to
0.5 quart/600 miles (0.5 liter/1,000 km),
depend ing o n driving style and operating
cond itions. Consumption may be higher
during the first 3,000 miles (5,000 km). Be
ca use of th is, the engine oil level m ust be
checked regularly.
It would be best to check
each time you ref uel your vehicle and before
l ong drives.
Changing the engine oil
We recommend that hove your oil changed by an
authorized Audi dealer or a qualified service sta tion .
Before you check anyth ing in the engine compart
ment,
al ways r ead and h eed all WARNIN GS~ &
in Working in the engine compartment on
page 322.
The engine oil must be changed according to the
intervals specified in your Warranty
& Mainte
nance booklet . This is very important because the
lubricating properties of oil diminish gradually
during normal vehicle use.
Under some circumstances the engine oi l should
be changed more frequently. Change oil more of
ten if yo u drive mostly short distances, operate
the vehicle in dusty areas or under predominant ly
stop-and-go traffic condit ions, or have your vehi
cle where temperatures remain below freezing
for extended periods .
Check ing and Filling
Detergent additives in the oi l will make fresh oil
look dark after the engine has been running for a
short time . This is normal and is not a reason to
change the oi l more often than recommended.
Because of the problem of proper disposal, along
with the specia l tools and necessary expertise re
quired, we strongly recommend that you have
your o il changed by an authorized
Audi de aler or
a qual ified service stat ion.
If yo u choo se to ch ange your oil yo urself , please
note the following important information:
A WARNING "--
To reduce the risk of persona l injury if you
must change the eng ine oil in your vehicle
yourself:
- Wear eye protection.
-
-To reduce the r isk of burns from hot engine
oil, let the engine cool down to the touch.
- When removing the oil drain plug w ith your
f ingers, stay as far away as possible. Always
keep your forearm parallel to the ground to
help prevent hot oil from running down your
arm.
- Drain the oil into a container designed for
this purpose, one large enough to hold at least the tota l amount of oil in your engine.
- Engine oil is poisonous. Keep it well out of
the reach of children.
- Continuous contact with used engine o il is
harmful to your skin. Always protect your
skin by washing oil off thoroughly with soap
and water .
«I) Note
Never mix oil additives with your engine oil.
These additives can damage your engine and
adversely affect yo ur Audi limited New Vehi
