Windshield washer
system

RAZ-0362



Fig. 148 Engine compartment: windshield washer fluid
reservoir cap
Follow the safety precautions > page 203, Gener-
al information.
The windshield washer fluid reservoir <> contains
the cleaning solution for the windshield and the
headlight washer system > fig. 148, > page 205.
The reservoir capacity can be found in
=> page 264.
To reduce the risk of lime scale deposits on the
spray nozzles, use clean water with low amounts
of calcium. Always add window cleaner to the wa-
ter. When the outside temperatures are cold, an
anti-freezing agent should be added to the water
so that it does not freeze.
Messages
ES Please add washer fluid
Fill the washer fluid for the windshield washer
system and the headlight washer system* when
the ignition is switched off.
C@) Note
— The concentration of anti-freezing agent
must be adjusted to the vehicle operating
conditions in the respective climate. A con-
centration that is too high can lead to vehi-
cle damage.
— Never add radiator anti-freeze or other addi-
tives to the washer fluid.
— Do not use a glass cleaner that contains
paint solvents, because this could damage
the paint.

Data privacy

These data can help provide a better understand-
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and in-
juries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.
name, gender, age, and crash location) are re-
corded. However, other parties, such as law en-
forcement, could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely ac-
quired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip-
ment is required, and access to the vehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manu-
facturer, other parties, such as law enforcement,
that have the special equipment, can read the in-
formation if they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR.
Assist system monitor
This vehicle is equipped with an Assist System
Monitor (ASM). The ASM collects data that is not
stored by the EDR in the event of an accident. The
main task of the ASM is to make it possible to un-
derstand the role and the behavior of the assist
systems in these accident situations. In addition
to the data that the EDR stores, the ASM records
data related to the assist systems starting sever-
al seconds before the accident or near-accident.
The data collected by ASM depends on the equip-
ment and may include the following information:
status information of the assist systems (for ex-
ample, if they are switched on or off, system
events, etc.), control interventions (for example,
by ESC, ABS, Audi pre sense”, etc.), and assist
systems settings (such as speed settings).
Special devices and access to the vehicle or to the
ASM are necessary in order to read the data from
the ASM memory. In addition to the vehicle man-
ufacturer, third parties such as law enforcement
authorities can also read and analyze the stored
data if they have access to the vehicle or to the
ASM. Data
usage
Audi can read out the information stored in the
data memories or similar data, or give this infor-
256
mation to third parties, especially in the follow-
ing situations:
— If the vehicle owner or lessee agrees
—If there is an official request from the police
— Ifa court or authorities request it
If legally permitted, Audi can also use the data
for analysis of vehicle operation and safety per-
formance or provide this data to third parties for
research purposes.
Transmitted information
Privacy settings
> Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen:
SETTINGS > (Data management) > Privacy.
Requirement: The ignition must be switched on.
Location, vehicle, and personal data are transmit-
ted when using Audi connect services.
Allowing sending of data
When this function is switched on, the data mod-
ule for using all Audi connect services is active.

nection will be limited or deactivated depending
on vehicle equipment. The majority of Audi con-
nect services will not be available.

@) Note
You are responsible for all precautions taken
for data protection, anti-virus protection, and
protection against loss of data on mobile de-
vices that are used to access the Internet
through the Wi-Fi hotspot.
G) Tips
— If the transmission of data is limited, data
will still be transmitted to verify subscrip-
tions.
