2018 AUDI TT ROADSTER maintenance

Cl 00 .-< N r-­N .-< 0 r-­Vl 00
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's re­
sponsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pres­
sure telltale .
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the sys­
tem is not operating properly. The TPMS mal­
function indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi­
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal­
function exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly . Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Description
Applies to: vehicles with tire pressure monitor ing system
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors
the pressure in the four tires when driving.
T he system uses sensors that measure the tem ­
perature and pressure in the tires . The data is
sent from these sensors to the control module by radio frequency.
T he tire pressure monitoring system shows the
current pressures and temperatures of the tires
in the Infotainment system while driving
¢ page 264. It also compares the current tire
pressures with the stored tire pressures and
gives a warning if the tire pressure is different
from what is stored
¢ page 264 .
Wheels
The system does not detect if the stored tire
pressures match the recommended tire pres­
sures. You must store the tire pressures again
¢ page 264:
- every time the tire pressures change, for exam­
ple when the load in the vehicle changes,
- after replacing a tire, or
- if wheels with new wheel sensors are used.
_& WARNING
- The tire pressure monitoring system assists
the driver in monitoring tire pressures. The
driver is responsible for having the tires in­
flated to the correct pressure.
- Do not change the tire pressure when the
temperature of the tire is extremely high.
This could result in serious damage to the
tire and even cause the tire to burst, in­
creasing the risk of an accident.
- A tire with low pressure flexes more. This heats the tire up too much. This could cause
the tread to separate and even cause the
tire to burst, increasing the risk of an acci­
dent.
- The tire pressure monitoring system does not warn about damage or defects in the
tire construction that could cause the tire to
burst, for example. Inspect your tires regu­
larly.
(D Tips
- If tires are replaced, the sensors/valves do
not need to be removed or replaced . Just re­
placed the valve stem and, if necessary, the
valve and the wheel electronics. If you have questions, see an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility.
- An incorrect display or a malfunction in the
tire pressure monitoring system can occur
after using the tire mobility kit. Have the
sensors replaced by an authorized Audi
dealer or authori zed Audi Service Facility.
- For an explanation on conformity with the
FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see
¢ page 293.

Government regulati ons in the United States and
Canada require that automobi les meet specific
emission regulations and safety standards.
Therefore, vehicles built for the U.S.A. and Cana ­
da differ from vehicles sold in other countries.
If you plan to take your vehicle outside the conti­
nenta l limits of the United States or Canada,
there is the possibility that:
- un leaded fue ls for vehicles with catalytic con­
verter may not be available;
- fuel may have a conside rably lower octane rat­
ing . Improper fuel may cause engine damage;
- se rvice may be inadequate due to lack of proper
service facilities, tools or testing equipment;
- r eplacement parts may not be readily available.
- Nav igat ion systems for veh icles built for the
U .S .A . and Canada w ill not necessarily work in
Europe, and may not wo rk in other count ries

Manuals and Literature
Audi Official Factory Service Manuals and Litera ­

Maintenance
General
Your vehicle has been designed to help keep
maintenance requirements to a minimum. How­
ever, a certain amount of regular maintenance is
still necessary to assure your vehicle's safety,
economy and reliability . For detailed vehicle
maintenance consult your Warranty & Mainte­
nance booklet .
Under difficult operating conditions, for exam­
ple at extremely low outside temperatures, in
very dusty regions, etc., some service work shou ld be performed between the intervals speci ­
fied. This applies particularly to:
- oil changes , and
- cleaning or replac ing the a ir filter .
@) For the sake of the environment
By regularly maintaining your vehicle, you
help make sure that em iss ion standards are
maintained, thus min imizing adverse effects
on the environment .
Important considerations for you and your
vehicle
The increasing use of electronics, soph isticated
fuel injection and emission control systems, and
the genera lly increasing technica l complexity of
today's automobiles, have steadily reduced the
.,,.

Cl 00 .-< N r-­N .-< 0 r-­Vl 00
scope of maintenance and repairs which can be
carried out by vehicle owners.
Al so, sa fety a nd
en vir onment al
concerns place very strict limits
on the nature of repairs and adjustments to en­
g ine and transm ission parts wh ich an owner can
perform .
Maintenance, adjustments and repairs usually re­
qu ire special tools, test ing devices and other
equ ipment available to specially trained work­
shop personnel in order to assure proper per ­
formance, rel iability and safety of the veh icle and
its many systems .
Improper maintenance, adjustments and repairs
can impair the operation and reliability of your
veh icle and even void your vehicle warranty .
Therefore, proof of servicing in accordance with
the ma intenance sc hedule may be a condition for
upho ld ing a possib le wa rranty claim made within
the warranty period.
Above all, operational safety can be adversely af­
fected, creating unnecessa ry risks fo r you and
your passenger.
If i n doubt about any servicing, have it done by
your author ized Audi dealer or any other properly
equ ipped and qua lified workshop. We strongly
urge yo u to g ive your author ized Audi dealer the
opportunity to perform a ll scheduled ma inte­
nance and necessary repairs. Your dealer has the
facilities, origina l parts and trained specialists to
keep your vehicle running properly .
Performing limited m aint ena nc e y our self
The follow ing pages describe a lim ited number of
p rocedures w hich can be per formed on your ve hi­

A WARNING
--
- Ser ious personal injury may occur as a result
of improperly performed maintenance, ad­
justments or repairs .
- Always be extremely careful when work ing
on the vehicle . Always follow commonly ac­
cepted safety practices and general com­ mon sense. Never risk pe rsonal inj ury.
- Do not attempt any of the maintenance,
checks or repairs described on the following pages if you are not fu lly famil iar with these
or other proced ures with respect to the ve­
h icle, or are uncerta in how to pro ceed.
- Do not do any work without the proper tools
and eq uipment. Have the necessary wo rk
done by your authorized Audi dealer or an­
other proper ly equipped and qualified work­
shop.
- The engine compartment of any motor vehi ­
cle is a potentially hazardous area . Never
reach into the area around or touch the radi­
ator fan.
It is temperature controlled and
can switch on suddenly
-even when the en­
g ine is off . The radiator fan switches on au­
tomatically when the coolant reaches a cer­
tain tempe rature and will cont inue to run
until the coolant temperature d rops.
- Always sw itch off the ignition before anyone
gets under the vehicle.
- Always support your veh icle with safety
stands if it is necessary to work underneath
the vehicle. The jack suppl ied with the veh i­
cle is no t adequate for this pu rpose and
could collapse caus ing serious personal in­
jury.
- I f you must wor k unde rneath the vehicle
with the wheels on the ground, always make
sure the vehicle is on level ground, that the
wheels are always securely blocked and that
the engine cannot be started.
- Always make sure the transmission se lector
lever (automatic transmiss ion) is in P (Park
position) and the park brake is applied.
