High-voltage system 
  
Charging at household and industrial sockets 
or at public charging stations with 
alternating current (AC) 
The vehicle's high-voltage battery can be charged 
with alternating current (AC) via the charging 
port (5). Depending on the vehicle equipment, 
there may be a second charging port ©) on the 
opposite side of the vehicle. Both charging ports 
have the same charging power. You can  use 
whichever charging port is more convenient for 
your charging setup. When using one charging 
port, the opposite charging port is locked. 
Quick charging at public direct current (DC) 
charging stations 
The vehicle’s high-voltage battery can be charged 
at a direct current (DC) charging station via the 
charging port on the driver's side (). There is a 
significant decrease in charging time. The charg- 
ing cable being used may be a maximum of 30 m. 
Charging time 
The duration of the charging process may vary 
based on the following factors: 
— Sockets being used (household or industrial 
sockets) 
— Country-specific system voltage, current 
strength and number of available phases 
— Household connection 
— The value set for the charging power level  on 
the Audi charging system control unit 
— Fluctuations in the system voltage 
— The temperature outside the vehicle 
— The temperature of the high-voltage battery 
and the Audi charging system control unit. 
— Settings for the climate control inside the vehi- 
cle 
— Current capacity of the charging connector 
— Whether the ignition is on or off 
ec e laa eed 
ZA\ WARNING 
Short circuiting, electric shock, explosions, 
fire and severe burns can result from not 
charging the battery correctly (for example, 
disregarding general safety precautions, using 
    
unsuitable or damaged sockets and charging 
cables, and charging at an unsuitable electri- 
cal equipment) and can lead to serious  and fa- 
tal injuries.

Battery 
Pela meee eles) 
Because of the complex power supply, all work on 
batteries such as disconnecting, replacing, etc., 
should only be performed by  an authorized Audi 
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility > A\. 
240 
Batteries with different technologies are instal- 
led in your vehicle: 
— 12 Volt vehicle battery (for example, for basic 
power supply) > page 241, 12 Volt vehicle bat- 
tery 
— High-voltage battery (for example, for electric 
drive system, climate control) > page 104, In- 
troduction 
Not running the vehicle for long periods of 
time 
When the vehicle is not used for long periods, the 
12 Volt vehicle battery will drain little by little. To 
ensure that the vehicle can still be started, the 
electrical equipment will be limited or switched 
off. Some convenience functions, such as interior 
lighting or power seat adjustment,  may not be 
available under certain circumstances. The con- 
venience functions will be available  again when 
you establish drive ready mode. 
Even when electrical equipment is switched off, 
the equipment can still drain the 12 Volt vehicle 
battery if the vehicle is not driven for long peri- 
ods of time. Deep draining results in a chemical 
reaction that destroys the inside of the battery. 
To reduce the risk of this, the battery must be 
charged monthly by  an authorized Audi dealer or 
authorized Audi Service Facility > page 241. Con- 
tact an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi 
Service Facility for more information. 
Winter operation 
Cold weather places an especially high load on 
the 12 Volt vehicle battery. Have the battery 
checked by an authorized Audi dealer or author- 
ized Audi Service Facility before cold weather be- 
gins. 
  
ZA WARNING 
All work on the battery or electrical system in 
your vehicle can result in injuries, chemical 
burns, accidents, or burns. Because of this, all 
work must be performed only by  an author- 
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa- 
cility. > 
       

Wheels 
  
Uniform tire quality grading 
— Tread wear 
— Traction AAABC 
— Temperature ABC 
Quality grades can be found where applicable on 
the tire side wall between tread shoulder and 
maximum section width > page 244, fig. 162. 
For example: Tread wear 200, Traction AA, Tem- 
perature A. 
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal 
Safety Requirements in addition to these grades. 
Tread wear 
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating 
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested 
under controlled conditions on a specified gov- 
ernment test course. 
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one 
and one half (1 1/2) times as well on the govern- 
ment course as a tire graded 100. 
The relative performance of tires depends upon 
the actual conditions of their use, however, and 
may depart significantly from the norm due to 
variations in driving habits, service practices and 
differences in road characteristics and climate. 
Traction 
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are 
AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the tire's 
ability to stop on wet pavement as measured un- 
der controlled conditions on specified govern- 
ment test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire 
marked C may have poor traction performance 
>A. 
Temperature 
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, 
and C, representing the tire's resistance to the 
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate 
heat when tested under controlled conditions on 
a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. 
Sustained high temperature can cause the mate- 
rial of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, 
and excessive temperature can lead to sudden 
tire failure > A. 
260 
The grade C corresponds to a  Level of perform- 
ance which all passenger car tires must meet un- 
der  the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels 
of performance on the laboratory test wheel than 
the minimum required by law. 
  
Z\ WARNING 
The traction grade assigned to this tire is 
based on straight-ahead braking traction 
tests, and does not include acceleration, cor- 
nering, hydroplaning or peak traction charac- 
teristics. 
  
  
ZA\ WARNING 
The temperature grade for this tire is estab- 
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and 
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla- 
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or 
in combination, can cause heat buildup and 
possible tire failure. 
     
ZA WARNING 
Temperature grades apply to tires that are 
properly inflated and not over or underinflat- 
ed. 
      
Tire pressure monitoring 
system 
(1) General notes 
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), 
should be checked monthly when cold and inflat- 
ed to the inflation pressure recommended by the 
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or 
tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has 
tires of a different size than the size indicated on 
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure la- 
bel, you should determine the proper tire infla- 
tion pressure for those tires). 
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been 
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system 
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure tell- 
tale when one or more of your tires is significant- 
ly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire 
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and >
