Где я могу узнать идентификационный номер транспортного средства Audi?

Место размещения идентификационного номера транспортного средства зависит от марки и типа транспортного средства. Номер может быть выбит на раме транспортного средства или указан на номерном знаке. Чтобы узнать место расположения идентификационного номера транспортного средства лучше всего ознакомиться с руководством по эксплуатации Audi A8 (2011).

Что такое идентификационный номер транспортного средства (VIN)?

Идентификационный номер транспортного средства — уникальный для каждого транспортного средства идентификационный номер. Аббревиатура VIN расшифровывается как «Vehicle Identification Number» (Идентификационный номер транспортного средства).

Когда транспортному средству Audi требуется техническое обслуживание?

Регулярное техническое обслуживание необходимо всем транспортным средствам. С информацией о том, как часто необходимо проходить техническое обслуживание и чему именно стоит уделять особое внимание можно ознакомиться в инструкции по техническому обслуживанию. Как правило, транспортное средство требует технического обслуживания каждые 2 года или 30 000 километров пробега.

Когда следует заменять тормозную жидкость на Audi?

Тормозную жидкость рекомендуется менять каждые два года.

В чем разница между топливом E10 и E5?

В топливе E10 содержится до десяти процентов этанола, в то время как в E5 содержится менее пяти процентов. Соответственно, топливо E10 менее вредит окружающей среде.

Одна или несколько дверей не открываются изнутри. Что мне делать?

Скорее всего, замок оснащен защитой от детей и поэтому не может быть открыт изнутри. Процедура открытия замка с защитой от детей зависит от марки и типа замка.

Автомобильный радиоприемник не включается, что делать?

Если автомобильный радиоприемник не включен, на него не будет подаваться питание. Убедитесь, что красный провод подключен к контактному источнику питания, а желтый провод — к источнику питания постоянной мощности.

The instrument illumination (for dials and
needles) turns on when the ignition is on
and the vehicle lights are tur ned off . As
the daylight fades, the illumination of the
dials likewise dims automa t ically and will
go out complet ely when the outside light
is very low. This feature is meant to remind
you t o switch on the headli ght swhen out-
side lig ht condit ions become poor.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant gauge (!) ¢ poge 10, fig. 3
only works when the ignition is on.To prevent
damage to your engine, please note the fol-
lowing important points:
Engine cold
If only the LEDsat the bottom of the gauge
turn on, the engine has not reached operating
temperature yet. Avoid hig h engine speeds,
heavy engine loads and heavy throttle applica-
tions .
Normal temperature
The engine has reached its operating temper-
at ure once the LEDsup to the center of the .,.

In strument s and warnin g/ indi ca tor ligh ts 1 1
gauge turn on under normal driving condi-
tions . The LEDshigher up may turn on when
the engine is under heavy load or the exter ior
temperature is high .This is no need to worry
as long as the . warning light in the instru-
ment cluster does not illuminate . If the LEDs
in the upper area of the display and the indica-
tor light . in the instrument cluster display
turn on, the coolant temperature is too high
¢page 15.
A WARNING
— Always observe the warning in
<!;>
page 216, Engine compartment, be-
fore opening the hood and checking the
engine coolant level.
— Never open the engine hood if you see or
hear steam, or if you see engine coolant
dripping from the engine compartment.
You could burn yourself. Let the engine
cool off first so that you cannot hear or
seeany steam or engine coolant.
(D Note
— Mount ing additional lights or accessories
in front of the air inlets reduces the cool-
ing effect of the radiator . At high outside
temperatures or high engine load, the
engine could overheat.
— The front spoiler has been designed to
properly distrib ute the cooling air when
the vehicle is moving. If the spoiler is
damaged, this could reduce the cooling
effect and t he engine could then over-
heat. Ask your authorized Audi dealer for
assistance.
Tachometer (engine rev counter)
The tachometer indicates the engine RPM
(revolutions per minutes).
If engine RPM drops below 1,500, you should
downshift to the next lower gear. The red area
at the end of the scale indicates maximum
permiss ible engine RPMafter the break-in pe-
riod. Before reaching this area, move these-
lector lever to position «D (Drive)» or ease
your foot off the accelerator pedal.
@ Note
The tachometer needle should only briefly
be in the red zone: you could damage your
engine! The beginning of the red zone var-
ies depending on the engine.
@ Forthe sake of the environment
Upshifting early savesfuel and reduces en-
gine noise.
Fuel gauge

&_ WARNING
— —
— Never rely exclusively on the outside
temperature display to determine if a
road surface is icy or not. Keep in mind
that road surfaces, especially bridges
and overpasses, could be ice covered and
slippery even at an outside temperatu re
above 41 °F (+5 °() .
-Always remember, even if the «snow-
f lake» symbol (ice warning) does not ap-
pear in the display, black ice could be on
the road.
-Always reduce your speed and drive with
special care in cold weather conditions
when the chance of encountering icy
road surfaces increases.
(j) Tips
— At temperatures below 14 °F (+ 5 °C) a
snowflake symbol appears ahead of the
temperature display. It is intended to re-
mind the driver to pay special attention ~

to iceon the road ¢ & . If the vehicle is
stationary, or if you are driving at a very
low speed, the tempe rature shown in the
display might be slightly higher t han the
actua l outside temperature. This is
caused by the heat being radiated from
t he engine.

(!) — Rain sensor mode. The windshield wipers
switch on once the vehicle speed exceeds ap-
proximately 2 mph (4 km/h) and it is raining.
The higher the rain sensor sensitivity is set
(switch @ to the right), the earlier the wind-
shield wipers react to moisture on the wind —
shield. You can deactivate rain sensor mode in
the MMI, which will then activate intermittent
mode. Select: ICARI
function button> Car sys-
tems control button > Driver assist > Rain
sensor > Off. In intermittent mode, you can
adjust the interval time using the switch @ .
@ -Slow wiping
® -Fast wiping
@ — Single wipe. If you hold the lever in this
position longer, the wipers switch from slow
wiping to fast wiping.
® — Clean the windshield. The wipers wipe
one time after several seconds of driving to
remove water droplets. You can switch this
function off by moving the lever to position ®
within 10 seconds after the afterwipe .The af-
terwipe function is reactivated the next time
you switch the ignition on.
Cleaning the headlights. The headlight wash-
er system* only functions when the lights are
switched on. The headlights and the night vi-
sion system camera* are cleaned automatical-
ly the first time the lever is press in position
® and every 8 times it is pressed after that.
They are also cleaned every time you hold the
lever in position ® for longer than 8 seconds.
A WARNING
— The rain sensor is only designed to assist
and support the driver. It remains entire-
ly the driver’s responsibility to monitor
outside weather conditions and to man-
ually activate the wipers as soon as rain
or drizzle reduces visibility through the
windshield .
— The windshield must not be treated with
water-repellent materials . They can in-
crease glare under poor visibility condi-
tions such as wetness, darkness, or when
the sun is low on the horizon. In addi-
Clear vision 49
tion, they can cause the windshield wip-
ers to chatter.

([) Note
— In the caseof frost, check whether the
windshield wiper blades are frozen to
the windshield. Switching on the wind-
shield wipers can damage the wiper
blades!
— Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
wiper system must be switched off (lever
in position 0). This helps to prevent unin-
tentional switching on and damage to
the windshield wiper system.
— Do not use the wipers to clear a frosted
window. Using the wipers as a conven-
ient ice scraper will destroy the wiper
blades.
(D Tips
— The windshield wipers are switched off
when the ignition is off. Activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched back on by moving the wind-
shield wiper lever to any position.
— Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades
result in streaking. This can affect the
rain sensor function . Checkyour wind-
shield wiper blades regularly .
— The washer fluid nozzles of the wind —
shield washer system are heated at low
temperatures when the ignition is on.
— When stopping temporarily, e.g. at a
traffic light, the set speed of the wind-
shield wipers is automatically reduced by
one speed.
