4KE012721BE
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 G) on the driver's side. Depending on the ve-
hicle equipment, there may be a second charging
port © on the front passenger's side. Both
charging ports have the same charging power.
You can use whichever charging port is more con-
venient 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 (S). 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
Important safety precautions
ZA WARNING
Short circuiting, electric shock, explosions,
fire, and severe burns can result from charg-
ing the battery incorrectly (for example by




disregarding general safety precautions, using
unsuitable or damaged sockets and charging
cables, or charging with unsuitable electrical
equipment) and can lead to serious and fatal
injuries.
— Do not charge using sockets/electrical
equipment that is clearly damaged or instal-
led incorrectly.
— Never use charging equipment that is clearly
damaged and/or dirty. Check the charging
equipment for damage before every use.
— Never modify or repair any electrical compo-
nents, especially the high-voltage system.
— Never charge in areas at risk for explosions.
The components in the charging equipment
can trigger sparks, which can cause flamma-
ble or explosive fumes to ignite. To reduce
the risk of explosions, especially in garages,
make sure the Audi e-tron charging system
control unit is at least 19 inches (50 cm)
above the floor when charging.
— Never use the charging equipment with an
extension cord, a cable reel, a power strip,
or an adapter, for example, a travel adapter
or timer.
— Do not touch the contacts on the vehicle
charging port or charging equipment.
— Do not insert any objects in the vehicle
charging port or in the charging equipment.
— Always protect the sockets and connections
from water, moisture and other fluids.
— Never charge with both vehicle charging
ports at the same time.
— Only use the charging equipment provided
by the factory or the charging station cable.

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.

Service Facility.
Low-profile tires can wear out faster than stand-
ard tires.
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 249, fig. 161.
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, Band 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
oA.
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\.
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.

ZX 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
Nene eat
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).
