2020 AUDI A3 clock

Checking and Filling

> After the fuel pump has switched off, wait five
seconds before removing the nozzle to allow
the rest of the fuel to finish dripping into the
fuel tank.
> Turn the fuel cap clockwise until it clicks into
place.
> Close the fuel filler door and then press on the
left side until it latches.
The correct fuel type for your vehicle can be
found ona label located on the inside of the fuel
filler door. For additional information on fuel, see
=> page 298.
For the tank capacity in your vehicle, refer to the
Technical Data > page 380.
To reduce the risk of fuel leaking out or vapors
escaping, make sure that the fuel tank is closed
correctly. Otherwise the Ey indicator light will
turn on.
If the central locking system malfunctions, there
is a fuel filler door emergency release
= page 301.
Messages
Plug-in hybrid drive: for additional information
on refueling, see > page 302.
| Tank system: malfunction! Please contact
Service
There is a malfunction in the fuel tank system.
Drive to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility immediately to have the
malfunction corrected.

— If you do not insert the fuel pump nozzle all
the way into the filler tube, then fuel can
leak out. Spilled fuel can ignite and start a
fire.
— Never get into the vehicle when refueling. If
there is an exceptional situation where you
must enter the vehicle, close the door and
touch a metal surface before touching the
fuel pump nozzle again. This will reduce the
risk of electrostatic discharge that can cause
flying sparks. Sparks can start a fire when
refueling.


ZA\ WARNING
Improper fueling procedures and improper
handling of fuel can lead to explosions, fires,
severe burns, and other injuries.
— Do not smoke. Keep away from open flames.
— The ignition must be switched off when re-
fueling.
— Mobile devices, radio devices, and other ra-
dio equipment should always be switched
off when refueling. Electromagnetic rays


ZA WARNING
Transporting fuel containers inside the vehicle
is not recommended. Fuel could leak out of
the container and ignite, especially during an
accident. This can cause explosions, fires, and
injuries.
— If you must transport fuel in a fuel contain-
er, note the following:
— Always place the fuel container on the
ground before filling. Never fill the fuel
container with fuel while it is inside or on
the vehicle. Electrostatic discharge can oc-
cur while refueling and the fuel vapors
could ignite.
— When using fuel containers made of met-
al, the fuel pump nozzle must always re-
main in contact with the container to re-
duce the risk of static charge.
— Insert the fuel pump nozzle as far as pos-
sible into the filler opening while refuel-
ing.
— Follow the applicable legal regulations in
the country where you are driving when
using, storing and transporting fuel con-
tainers.
— Make sure that the fuel container meets
the industry standards, for example ANSI
or ASTM F852-86.


could cause sparks and start a fire.

Emergency assistance

Loosening
> Slide the wheel wrench onto the wheel bolt as
far as it will go.
> Take tight hold of the end of the wrench handle
and turn the wheel bolts counter-clockwise
about one single turn in the direction of arrow
> fig. 270.
Tightening
> Slide the wheel wrench onto the wheel bolt as
far as it will go.
> Take tight hold of the end of the wrench handle
and turn each wheel bolt clockwise until it is
seated.

Z\ WARNING
— Do not use force or hurry when changing a
wheel - you can cause the vehicle to slip off
the jack* and cause serious personal injuries.
— Do not loosen the wheel bolts more than
one turn before you raise the vehicle with
the jack*. - You risk an injury.

@® Tips
— Never use the hexagonal socket in the han-
dle of the screwdriver to loosen or tighten
the wheel bolts.
— If a wheel bolt is very tight, you may find it
easier to loosen by carefully pushing down
on the end of the wheel bolt wrench with
one foot only. As you do so, hold on to the
car to keep your balance and take care not
to slip.

ing point on the sill for the vehicle jack.
> Vehicles with a sill: Note the position of the sill
when positioning the vehicle jack > fig. 272.
>» Place the vehicle jack (vehicle tool kit) on a firm
surface. Use a flat, stable support if necessary.

Emergency assistance

Removing the wheel
>» Use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver
handle to completely remove the topmost
wheel bolt and set it aside on a clean surface
> fig. 273.
> Screw the threaded end of the alignment pin
from the tool kit hand-tight into the empty bolt
hole > fig. 274.
> Then remove the other wheel bolts as described
above.
> Take off the wheel leaving the alignment pin in
the bolt hole >@).
Putting on the compact spare wheel
> Lift the spare wheel and carefully slide it over
the alignment pin to guide it in place >@.
> Use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver
handle to screw in and tighten all wheel bolts
slightly.
> Remove the alignment pin and insert and tight-
en the remaining wheel bolt slightly like the
rest.
> Turn the jack handle counter-clockwise to lower
the vehicle until the jack* is fully released.
> Use the wheel bolt wrench to tighten all wheel
bolts firmly > page 353. Tighten them cross-
wise, from one bolt to the (approximately) op-
posite one, to keep the wheel centered.
@) Note
When removing or installing the wheel, the
rim
could hit the brake rotor and damage the
rotor. Work carefully and have a second per-
son help you.
G) Tips
Never use the hexagonal socket in the handle
of the screwdriver to loosen or tighten the
wheel bolts.
— Pull the reversible blade from the screwdriv:
er before you use the hexagonal socket in
the handle to turn the wheel bolts.
— When mounting tires with unidirectional
tread design make sure the tread pattern is
pointed the right way > page 356.
— The wheel bolts should be clean and easy to
turn. Check for dirt and corrosion on the
356
mating surfaces of both the wheel and the
hub. Remove all dirt from these surfaces be-
fore remounting the wheel.
Tires with unidirectional tread design
Tires with unidirectional tread design must be
mounted with their tread pattern pointed in the
right direction.
Using a spare tire with a tread pattern
intended for use in a specific direction
When using a spare tire with a tread pattern in-
tended for use in a specific direction, please note
the following:
— The direction of rotation is marked by an arrow
on the side of the tire.
— If the spare tire has to be installed in the incor-
rect direction, use the spare tire only tempora-
rily since the tire will not be able to achieve its
optimum performance characteristics with re-
gard to aquaplaning, noise and wear.
— We recommend that you pay particular atten-
tion to this fact during wet weather and that
you
adjust your speed to match road condi-
tions.
— Replace the flat tire with a new one and have it
installed on your vehicle as soon as possible to
restore the handling advantages of a unidirec-
tional tire.
Notes on wheel changing
Please read the information > page 326 if you
are going to use a spare tire which is different
from the tires on your vehicle.
After you change a tire:
— Check the tire pressure on the spare immedi-
ately after installation.
— Have the wheel bolt tightening torque
checked with a torque wrench as soon as pos-
sible by your authorized Audi dealer ora
qualified service station.
— With steel and alloy wheel rims, the wheel
bolts are correctly tightened at a torque of
90 ft lbs (120 Nm).

Emergency assistance

until the cargo floor is clamped behind the tabs
on both side panels @) > fig. 275.
> Applies to: vehicles with subwoofer in the spare
wheel well: Remove the subwoofer*. Check
which subwoofer is installed based on the con-
nector: > page 358.
> Turn the handwheel counter-clockwise and re-
move it.
> Remove the spare tire.

Snow chains
For technical reasons, the use of snow chains on
the
compact spare tire is not permitted.
If you have to drive with snow chains and a front
tire fails, mount the spare tire in place of a rear
tire. Install the snow chains on the rear tire that
you removed, and install that in place of the
front tire that failed.

ZX WARNING
— After installing a spare tire, the tire pressure
must be checked as soon as possible. The
tire pressure is available on > page 330,
fig. 260
— Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h)
with a compact spare tire. Driving faster
than that increases the risk of an accident.
—To reduce the risk of an accident, avoid hard
acceleration or braking and driving fast
around curves with the compact spare tire.
—To reduce the risk of an accident, never drive
with more than one compact spare tire.
— Normal summer or winter tires must not be
mounted on the compact spare wheel rim.
