The maintenance interval indicator on the vehicle's dashboard informs you about the need to change the oil. It is recommended that the oil be changed at Audi or a specialized company. If it is necessary to add oil between two oil changes, use engine oils from the oils listed in the table in accordance with the VW standard. To do this, you need to know whether the vehicle is serviced according to a reduced service frequency scheme («Audi Longlife Service») or regular maintenance intervals (preventative maintenance): see the last entry in the service book; whether the vehicle is equipped with a petrol or diesel engine: see the sticker on the inside of the refueling hatch cover; Is the vehicle equipped with a diesel particulate filter? engine: see transmission entry in the service book.
Note: If the oils shown in the table are not available, other oils can also be added. In order not to damage the engine, before the next oil change, it is allowed to fill no more than 0.5 liters of the specified oils once. Gasoline engines: according to ACEA AZ or API SM standard. Diesel engines: according to ACEA SZ or API CF standard. For the Chinese market, the following applies: vehicles with a gasoline engine may only be operated with oil in accordance with VW standard 502 00 with a viscosity index of SAE 5W-40. Service maintenance «LongLife Service» Not available in all countries.
Display: oil level indicator
The vehicle must be on a level surface. Select: vehicle function key CAR → Oil level (oil level). Allow the engine, warmed up to operating temperature, to idle for a short time, and then turn off the engine. Wait approximately 2 minutes. View the oil level on the display. Add oil if the oil level on the indicator has almost reached the mark «min» (min.).
Depending on driving style and operating conditions, oil consumption can be up to 0.5 liters per 1000 km. During the first 5,000 kilometers, oil consumption may exceed this value.
Note: The oil level indicator on the display is intended to provide information only. If the oil level is insufficient, a message appears on the dashboard indicating that the oil level has dropped to the minimum value. Add oil. If the motor cover was opened. compartment, the current oil level is displayed on the dashboard the next time you turn on the ignition.
Engine compartment: oil filler plug
Unscrew the oil filler plug. Carefully add the appropriate oil in 0.5 liter portions. Screw the oil filler plug tightly and close the engine cover. compartment After 2 minutes, check the oil level. If necessary, add more oil.
Carefully! Check the oil level on the radio or MMI display. If Please reduce oil level is displayed, contact a specialist company to remove excess oil if necessary. Do not add additives to the oil. Damage resulting from the use of such products is excluded from the warranty.
Cooling system
The cooling system fan can be turned on automatically. The fan is driven through a poly V-belt from the engine. The fan is equipped with a viscous coupling that regulates its rotation speed depending on the temperature. In addition, the automatic fan turns on an additional electric fan, which operates depending on the coolant temperature and the temperature of the engine compartment. After the engine is turned off and the ignition is turned on, the additional fan can continue to operate for up to 10 minutes. It can also automatically turn on after some time in the following cases: when the temperature rises due to aerodynamic heating; or additional heating of the heated engine compartment with bright sunlight.
Attention. When carrying out work in the engine compartment, be aware of the possibility that the fan will turn on - there is a risk of injury!
Brake fluid
Engine compartment: marks on the brake reservoir. liquids
Brake level fluids can be quickly checked visually. Visually determine the brake level. liquid in the tank. It should always be between the marks «MIN» (min.) And «MAX» (Max.). A slight decrease in the fluid level as the vehicle runs is explained by wear and tear of the automatic transmission and adjustment of the brake linings. This is normal. If the fluid level drops significantly over a short period of time or the fluid level drops below the mark «MIN» (min.) Brake seal failure cannot be ruled out. systems. If the brake level the fluid in the reservoir is too low, the brake warning light comes on. systems. Immediately contact a specialized company to have the brakes checked. systems.
Battery
Engine compartment: terminals for connecting the charger and starting auxiliary cables
The pole terminals for charging the battery are located in the engine compartment. Read the warnings. Disconnect all current consumers. Remove the ignition key from the lock. Open the motor cover. compartment Remove cover -1- by pressing arrow. Open the cover -2- for the positive terminal. Connect the charger pole terminals correctly to the starting auxiliary bolts (bolt under cover = «plus», hex bolt = «minus»). Insert the power plug of the charger into the socket and turn on the device. After charging: turn off the charger and unplug it. Then disconnect the pole clamps of the charger from the battery. Close the positive pole cover -2- and install the cover -1-. Close the motor cover. compartment
A discharged battery can freeze already at a temperature of about 0°C. Before charging, be sure to let the frozen battery thaw. It is recommended not to continue to operate a thawed battery, since ice formation may damage the battery case and result in electrolyte leakage.
Charging the battery
Before charging the battery, be sure to follow the instructions of the charger manufacturer! When charging with low currents (for example, using a small charger) The cables connecting the battery to the on-board network do not need to be disconnected. When charging, the battery caps must be closed.
Accelerated battery charging
For technical reasons, accelerated battery charging with chargers with an output voltage of more than 14.8 V is not allowed.
Attention. Never charge a frozen battery - danger of explosion! Charge the battery only through the terminals in the engine compartment.
Checking and filling
Engine compartment: windshield washer reservoir
The windshield washer fluid reservoir contains fluid for cleaning the glass and also for the headlight cleaner. To avoid lime deposits in the spray nozzles, it is necessary to fill with distilled water. Always add glass cleaner to your washer fluid (in winter - with antifreeze).
Carefully! Do not mix antifreeze intended for cooling systems or other additives under any circumstances. Do not use glass cleaners containing varnish solvents - risk of damaging the varnish!
Tire pressure indicator
Display: warning symbol with text indication
The tire pressure warning light on the instrument panel indicates that the tire pressure is too low or there is a problem with the system. The tire pressure indicator uses ABS sensors to compare the distance traveled by each individual tire and its vibration pattern. When the tire pressure changes on one or more wheels, a warning light appears on the instrument panel display (yellow or red) and text instructions. If the problem is detected on only 1 bus, its position is indicated. After every tire pressure change (transition from part load pressure to full load pressure and vice versa) or after a tire change/rotation, the tire pressure values must be saved again in the radio or MMI. For the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle, see the sticker on the end of the driver's door. The distance traveled by the tire and its vibration pattern may change and cause a warning to appear in the following cases: the pressure in 1 or more tires is too low; the tire structure is damaged; after changing wheels or changing tire pressure values, unless the values were saved again.
Indicator lights
Moderate loss of tire pressure in at least one wheel. In addition, the indicator light comes on (yellow) on the dashboard. Check/correct tire pressure on all 4 wheels and save it via radio or MMI.
Significant loss of tire air pressure in at least one wheel. In addition, the indicator light comes on (red) on the dashboard. Check tires and replace (repair) wheel. Check/correct tire pressure on all 4 wheels and save it via radio or MMI.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System - tire pressure monitoring system) - Tyre pressure! System malfunction (malfunction of the tire pressure monitoring system). If, after turning on the ignition or while driving, the TPMS symbol and additionally a warning light appear (yellow) on the instrument panel first flashes for approx. 1 minute and then stays on continuously, a system fault has occurred. Contact the nearest specialized company as soon as possible.
