2021 AUDI TT wiper blades

Lights and Vision


— The windshield must not be treated with
water-repelling windshield coating agents.
Under unfavorable conditions, such as wet-
ness, darkness, and when the sun is low,
these coatings can cause increased glare,
which increases the risk of an accident. They
can also cause wiper blade chatter.
— Properly functioning windshield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving > page 42, Replacing windshield
wiper blades.

> Place the windshield wiper arms in the service
position > page 42.
> Fold the windshield wiper arms away from the
windshield.

ZX WARNING
Dirty windshield wiper blades can impair vi-
sion, which increases the risk of an accident.
Replacing windshield wiper blades


@) Note
— If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind-
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind-
shield can damage the wiper blades.
— The windshield wiper system must be
switched off (lever in position 0) before us-
ing a car wash. This prevents the wipers
from switching on unintentionally and caus-
ing damage to the windshield wiper system.
@ Tips
— The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is switched off. You can activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched on again by moving the windshield
wiper lever to any position.
— Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result
in streaking. This can affect the rain sensor*
function. Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly.
— The washer fluid nozzles in the windshield
washer system are heated* at low tempera-
tures when the ignition is on.
— When stopping temporarily, such as ata
traffic light, the speed of the windshield
wipers automatically reduces by one level.
Cleaning windshield wiper blades
Clean the wiper blades when you see wiper
streaks. Clean the wiper blades with a soft towel
and glass cleaner.

up when in the service position! Otherwise,
you risk damaging the paint on the hood or
the windshield wiper motor.
— You should not drive your vehicle or press

— You can also use the service position, for ex-
ample, if you want to protect the windshield
from icing by using a cover.
— You cannot activate the service position
when the hood is open.

windshield wiper malfunction. Drive to an au-
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service

rected.

Care and cleaning


ZA WARNING
—To reduce the risk of accidents, only wash
the vehicle when the ignition is off and fol-
low the instructions from the car wash oper-
ator.
—To reduce the risk of cuts, protect yourself
from sharp metal components when wash-
ing the underbody or the inside of the wheel
housings.
— After washing the vehicle, the braking effect
may be delayed due to moisture on the
brake rotors or ice in the winter. This in-
creases the risk of an accident. The brakes
must be dried with a few careful brake appli-
cations.

() Note
— If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must retract the extendable rear
spoiler* if necessary, and fold the exterior
mirrors in to reduce the risk of damage.
Power folding exterior mirrors* must only
be folded in and out using the power folding
function.
—To reduce the risk of paint damage, do not
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
—To reduce the risk of damage, do not wash
decorative decals* with a pressure washer.
—To reduce the risk of damage, do not wash
the power top with a pressure washer.
—To reduce the risk of damage to the surface,
do not use insect removing sponges, kitchen
sponges, or similar items.
— When washing matte finish painted vehicle
components:
— To reduce the risk of damage to the sur-
face, do not use polishing agents or hard
wax.
— Never use protective wax. It can destroy
the matte finish effect.
— Do not place any stickers or magnetic
signs on vehicle components painted with
matte finish paint. The paint could be
damaged when the stickers or magnets
are removed.
(@) For the sake of the environment
Only wash the vehicle in facilities specially de-
signed for that purpose. This will reduce the
risk of dirty water contaminated with oil from
entering the sewer system.
