Cooling system
The cooling system is filled with a mixture of pu-
rified water and coolant additive at the factory.
This coolant must not be not changed.
Audi recommends checking the coolant level pe-
riodically.
Messages
Ha turn off engine and check coolant level. See
owner's manual
242
The coolant level is too low.
Do not continue driving and switch the ignition
off. Add coolant. The vehicle must not be towed.
See an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility for assistance.
Electric drive system: malfunction! Cooling
system. Please contact Service
There is a malfunction in the cooling system.
Drive to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility immediately.
@) Note
Before winter weather begins, have an author-
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility check if the coolant additive in your
vehicle matches the percentage appropriate
for the climate. This is especially important
when driving in colder climates.

Checking and Filling
Battery
ella mele ele sce)
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\.
Batteries with different technologies are instal-
led in your vehicle:
— 12 Volt vehicle battery (for example, for basic
power supply) > page 245, 12 Volt vehicle bat-
tery
— High-voltage battery (for example, for electric
drive system, climate control) > page 107, 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 246. 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.
A WARNING
California Proposition 65 Warning:
— Battery posts, terminals and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harms.
Wash hands after handling.
@) Note
If the vehicle will be parked for long periods
of time, protect the 12 Volt vehicle battery
against the cold so that it will not “freeze”
and become damaged. Have the battery
charged by an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility > page 246,
Charging the 12 Volt vehicle battery.
12 Volt vehicle battery
Explanation of warnings:
Battery acid is highly corrosive. Always
wear protective gloves and eye protection.
Fire, sparks, open flame, and smoking are
®& forbidden.
@/
ma
Always wear eye protection.
A highly explosive mixture of gases can
A» form when charging batteries.
Always keep children away from battery
®) acid and the battery.
Always follow the instructions in the oper-
ating manual.
@) For the sake of the environment
% Lead-acid batteries must be disposed of
using methods that will not harm the environ-
ment. Do not dispose of them in household

Checking and Filling
trash. They contain harmful substances, such
as sulfuric acid and lead, and also recyclable
raw materials. Contact an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility for
more information.
Charging the 12 Volt vehicle battery
The vehicle cannot be operated when the 12 Volt
vehicle battery is drained. The vehicle battery
must not be charged under any circumstances.
Contact an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
@) Note
The charging of the vehicle battery requires
specialized knowledge and technology.
— The vehicle battery may only be charged by
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility. Otherwise, the elec-
tronic systems in the vehicle may be severe-
ly damaged.
— The jump start pins in the motor compart-
ment are designed specifically for qualified
technicians.
Windshield washer
system
B4M-0135}
Fig. 160 Motor compartment: washer fluid reservoir cap
Observe the safety precautions > page 240, Gen-
eral information.
The windshield washer reservoir “> contains the
cleaning solution for the windshield and the
headlight washer system > fig. 160, > page 242.
The reservoir capacity can be found in
=> page 298.
246
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.
Message
3 Please add washer fluid
Fill the washer fluid for the windshield washer
system and the headlight washer system* when
the ignition is switched off.
() Note
—The concentration of anti-freezing agent
must be adjusted to the vehicle operating
conditions and the climate. A concentration
that is too high can lead to vehicle 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.
Service interval display
The service interval display detects when your ve-
hicle is due for service.
The service interval display works in two stages:
— Inspection reminder: after driving a certain
distance, a message appears in the instrument
cluster display each time the ignition is switch-
ed on or off. The remaining distance or time is
displayed briefly.
— Inspection due: if your vehicle has reached an
inspection interval, the message Inspection
due! appears briefly after the ignition is switch-
ed on and off.
Checking service intervals
You can check the remaining distance or time un-
til the next service.
