Checking and topping up fluids
If
you
have to top up the oil between oil changes,
use the grades of oil specified in the table in ac
cordance with VW standards.
You will need to know whether
- the vehicLe is being serviced based on the
flexi
ble or fixed oil change service (see last service
record).
- the vehicle has a petrol or diesel engine (see
sticker on inside of fuel tank flap).

If the oil grades specified in the table are not
available, you can use one of the
folLowing
grades as a substitute. To prevent damage to
the engine, this should not be done more
than once between oil changes and no more
than 0.5 litres should be used.

Checking and topping up the engine oil
level
The
oil dipstick differs depending on the type of
engine.

Checking engine oil level
- Park the vehicle on a level surface.
- Switch off the warm engine. Wait for
a
few mi
nutes for the oil to drain back into the sump.
- Open the bonnet

Wheels
WheeLs
Tyres and rims
General notes
•
Inspect the tyres regularly for damage (cuts,
cracks or blisters, etc.). Remove any foreign
bodies embedded in the treads.
•
If
you
have to drive over
a
kerb or similar obsta
cle,
drive very slowly and as near as possible at
a right angle to the kerb.
• Damaged rims or tyres must be replaced imme
diately.
•
Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.
•
Mark the wheels before taking them off so that
they rotate in the same direction when refitted.
•
When removed, the wheels should be stored
flat in a
cool,
dry and preferably dark place.

CAUTION
- Please note that summer and winter tyres
are optimised for the prevailing road condi
tions at different times of
year.
We recom
mend that you use winter tyres during the
winter months. At low temperatures, sum
mer tyres lose their elasticity and grip, and
braking performance also suffers as a re
sult. Cracks can form in the tread block on
summer tyres if they are used at very cold
temperatures, and this can cause perma
nent damage to the tyres. An increase in
rolling noise and tyre imbalance may result
from this damage.
- Machined, polished or chrome-plated rims
must not be used in winter conditions. The
process used to manufacture these types of
wheel rim does not provide adequate sur
face protection against corrosion, and the
rims can be permanently damaged by road
salt or similar.
New wheels or tyres
It is best to have all servicing of wheels and tyres
performed by a qualified workshop, since they
have the necessary special tools and replacement
parts in addition to trained personnel.
•
New tyres do not yet give maximum grip. When
driving with new tyres, drive at moderate
speeds and be especially careful during the first
500 km.
•
All four wheels must be fitted with tyres of the
same type, size (rolling circumference) and
preferably the same tread pattern.
• Tyres should be replaced in pairs and not
indi
vidually (i.e. both front tyres or both rear tyres
together).
•
We recommend the use of Audi Genuine Tyres.
If
you
wish to use other tyres, please note that
the actual size can differ from the nominal size
marked on the tyre
•=> /\.
•
If
you
wish to purchase a different combination
of rims and tyres than the ones fitted on the ve
hicle during production, it is advisable to
con
sult
a
qualified workshop beforehand
<=> /\.
The sizes of the rims and tyres approved
for
your
vehicle are listed in the vehicle's documents (e.g.
EC
Certificate of Conformity or COC
document1)).
The vehicle documents vary depending on the
country in which the vehicle is registered.
If the spare wheel* is
not
the same type as the
tyres fitted on the car (for example if the car has
winter tyres or wide-section tyres) you should on
ly use the spare wheel* if
a
puncture occurs, and
then
only
for
a
short period of time. In this case,
please drive with extra care. Refit
a
normal road
wheel as soon as possible.
Applies to vehicles with four-wheel drive: All four
wheels must always be fitted with tyres of the
same type, make and tread pattern, as the drive-
line could otherwise be damaged by variations in
the wheel speeds. For the same reason, only use
a spare wheel* which has the same rolling cir
cumference as the normal road wheels.
Manufacturing date
The manufacturing date is indicated on the tyre
sidewall (possibly only on the inner side of the
wheel): •

= Certificate of conformity

Mobility
not possible to tighten the bolts to the re
quired torque using the hexagonal socket
risk
of accident!
© CAUTION
When removing/fitting the wheel the rim
may hit and damage the brake disc. For this
reason,
please take care and get
a
second per
son to assist you.
(T) Note
The wheel bolts are easier to remove from the
wheel rim if
you
use the hexagonal socket in
the screwdriver handle. The reversible screw
driver blade should be removed as a precau
tionary measure when the tool is used for this
purpose.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
A directional tread pattern can be identified by
arrows on the sidewall that point in the direction
of rotation. Always note the direction of rotation
indicated when mounting the wheel. This is im
portant so that these tyres can give maximum
grip and avoid excessive noise, tread wear and
aquaplaning.
If
you
ever have a puncture and need to fit the
spare wheel* in the wrong direction, please drive
with extra care because the tyre will not give op
timum performance in this situation. Bear this in
mind particularly when driving on wet roads.
To benefit from the advantages of tyres with this
type of tread pattern, the defective tyre should
be replaced and refitted as soon as possible so
that all tyres again rotate in the correct direction.
After changing a wheel
• Fit the hubcap or wheel bolt caps back on, as
required.
• Put the tools and jack back in the luggage com
partment.
• If the replaced wheel will not fit into the spare
wheel
well,
stow it safely in the luggage com
partment
*page
272.
• Check the tyre pressure of the fitted wheel as
soon as possible.
• On vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator,
adjust the tyre pressures and store them via the
infotainment system
opage
311.
• The wheel bolts should be tightened to 140
Nm.
Have this checked as soon as possibLe with
a torque wrench. Until
then,
drive with caution.
• Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as possi
ble.
Spare wheel
General notes
Applies to: vehicles with compact temporary spare wheel
Fig.
266 Luggage compartment: Floor panel folded up
Fig.
267 Compact temporary spare wheel (example)
The compact temporary spare wheel
*Fig.
267 is
only intended for temporary use over short dis
tances. Have the damaged wheel checked as soon
as possible by
a
qualified workshop and, if neces
sary, replaced.
PLease note the following restrictions when using
the compact temporary spare wheel. The com
pact temporary spare wheel is designed specifi
cally for this model. For this reason, do not use a
spare wheel from a different type of
vehicle.
