Audi Q5

Self-Study Programme 433

With the introduction of the Audi Q5, Audi is extending its model range to include a compact SUV that sets new standards in its class. In addition to the Audi Q7 and the Audi A6 allroad quattro, Audi is now introducing a third model for the off-road segment.

The Audi Q5 will be manufactured at the Ingolstadt facility, this being a logical choice of location because the Audi Q5 is based on components used in the Audi A4 ‘08.

The new Audi Q5 combines the dynamism of a sports saloon with highly variable interior and versatile options for leisure-time and family use. Strong and efﬁcient engines, Quattro permanent all-wheel drive and agile running gear have been brought together to create a superior technology package for both on and off road driving. Highlights such as the innovative S tronic seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and the Audi drive select driving dynamics system ar e the evidence that substantiates the Q5's claim to Vorsprung durch Technik. The sportiest SUV in its class, it is dynamic, multifunctional and comfortable.

Body

The body of the Audi Q5

The steel body of the Audi Q5 with its function and weight optimised design is yet another example of advanced body design by Audi. To meet the demands on the Audi Q5, the various body components have been made using steel materials designed to optimally absorb the structural and dynamic forces to which the vehicle can be subjected both in day-to-day use and in the event of a collision.

For this reason, only 30.8 % of the components in the Audi Q5 are manufactured from regular deepdrawn steel. High and advanced high strength steels account for nearly 60 % of all materials used a signiﬁcant proportion. Parts manufactured from ultra-high-strength, diequenched steels account for over 9 %, which is likewise a relatively large proportion. However, when manufacturing parts from this material, the zinc coating otherwise normally applied to Audi body panels would evaporate during the heat shaping process, because zinc has a boiling point of 907 °C and the process temperature is higher than that.

For this reason, the sheet-metal panels used for making die-quenched body parts are hot-dip coated with aluminium, which also has the advantage of protecting the steel surface against corrosion. Whereas steel was also the material of choice for the doors, the engine hood and tailgate are made of aluminium.

Body

The body of the Audi Q5

To optimise the performance of the B post in a sideimpact collision, it is important that the lower section of the post be able to absorb more deformation energy than the upper section - which, ideally, should have a very rigid construction. This was made possible, e.g. in the Audi A4 ‘08, through the use of tailored blanks.

Rear longitudinal beam, partially die-quenched

The B post in the Audi Q5 is partially heated and then reshaped, as a result of which the upper section of the post has properties an ultra high strength die-quenched steel and the lower section those of an ultra-high-strength steel. This process is also applied to the rear longitudinal beams. Here, the rearmost section is able to absorb more deformation energy than the more rigid front section of this component.

Repair concepts

The increased use of ultra-high-strength steels necessitates the use of body repair methods adapted specially to suit the properties of the materials. High heat input welding will irreversibly compromise the strength and structure of the component due to microstructural changes in the material. A body structure thus welded cannot, therefore, reliably meet the requirements. It is important to apply a very high contact pressure and a precision controlled electrical current during

Following extensive tests, modern spot welding machines that meet precisely these requirements are now available through Workshop Equipment. MAG gas shielded arc welding may only be performed on these high-grade steels in speciﬁc areas, on a case-by-case basis. They are described in the workshop literature. After miscellaneous tests and crash simulations on repaired ultra-highstrength, die-quenched steel body parts of the Audi Q5, Audi has approved two repair points at

which MAG welding is permissible: spot welding work on ultra-high-strength diequenched steels.

Occupant protection

Occupant protection system in the Audi Q5

On the following pages you will be provided with an overview of the occupant pr otection system in the Audi Q5. For further information about the restraint systems in the Audi Q5, please refer to Self-Study Programmes 392 Audi A5 and 409 Audi A4 ’08. The diagrams and illustrations shown in the chapter on "Occupant protection" are intended to aid understanding.

The occupant protection system in the Audi Q5 consists of the following components and systems:

– Airbag control unit – Driver airbag, adaptive – Front passenger airbag, adaptive – Front side airbags – Head airbags – Front airbag crash sensors (upfront sensors) – Crash sensors for side impact detection in the doors – Crash sensors for side impact detection on the C posts – Front belt tensioners with adjustable belt force limiters – Battery disconnect safety device – Seat belt reminder for driver and front passenger – Seat belt switch, driver and front passenger side – Seat occupancy sensor in the front passenger seat – Driver and front passenger seat position sensors

The vehicle can also be equipped with rear side airbags and/or a key switch for deactivating the front passenger airbag, complete with a warning lamp.

On account of the different requirements and statutory regulations of the various markets on vehicle manufacturers, equipment speciﬁcations - particularly for the US market - can vary.

Occupant protection

Driver airbag in the Audi Q5

Driver side airbag igniter 1 N95 Driver side airbag igniter -2- N250

All Audi Q5 models distributed world-wide are equipped as standard with an adaptive driver airbag. This driver airbag has a single-stage solid fuel generator with an additional external igniter.

Igniter 1 is activated electrically by the airbag control unit J234, thus igniting the ignition charge.

Metal ﬁlter

Foil

Vent hole

Nozzle ports

Combustion of the ignition charge causes the pressure inside the capsule to increase until it bursts, thereby igniting the propellant charge through the nozzle ports. If the gas pressure produced by the combustion of the propellant charge exceeds a predeﬁned value, the foil opens the vent holes. The gas is thus free to ﬂow unobstructed through the metal ﬁlter to the airbag. The airbag unfolds and is inﬂated.

Driver side airbag igniter -2- N250 is located inside the airbag module. It is integrated in a unit comprising the baseplate, a control ring with ports and the distributor housing.

As long as igniter 2 is not activated, the supplementary vent holes in the distributor housing are kept sealed by the control ring.

The gas from the gas generator ﬂows out through the upper ports in the distributor housing and directly into the airbag. A retaining clip holds the control ring in the rest position. This prevents unwanted rotation of the control ring.

The airbag control unit J234 decides when to activate igniter 2 N250 according to the force of the impact and the driver's seating position.

When igniter 2 is ignited, the developing gas pressure displaces a pin, which in turn rotates the control ring. The supplementary vent holes in the distributor housing are opened. The residual gas from the gas generator can now partially vent directly into the atmosphere. The gas discharging from the airbag can also escape into the atmosphere through the oriﬁces in the distributor housing. Thereby, the airbag is not inﬂated any further and thus "adapted" to the occupants.

Dynamic steering

The dynamic steering system is designed and functions in the same way as the system in the Audi A4 ‘08. The control software in the active steering control unit J792 has been adapted to suit the vehicle's characteristics and the extended conditions of use.

Running gear

Steering pump

The volume-ﬂow controlled vane steering pumps as used previously in the Audi A4 ‘08 are also used in all models which do not have dynamic steering. Compared to the Audi A4 ‘08, the maximum delivery rate (shut-off point) has been increased to 8.5 l/min from 7.9 l/min to allow for the higher axle load of the Audi Q5. Models which have dynamic steering come equipped with the steering pump with ECO function as used previously in the Audi A4 ‘08 with dynamic steering.

Brake system

Wheel brakes

The wheel brakes are based on the proven concept of the Audi A4 ‘08. In the Audi Q5, adaptation of the wheel brakes to the higher performance demands (larger wheel diameter, higher kerb weight) is provided by a modiﬁed hydraulic transmission. To this end, uprated brake pistons are used in combination with large brake pad surfaces and larger brake discs.

433_148

The brake discs have been designed for high cooling capacity by means of special cooling ports and friction interfaces. Special emphasis was placed on systematic lightweight construction during the development process. The front axle is ﬁtted with the proven FBC ﬂoating calipers as used previously on the Audi A4 ‘08. This brake caliper concept maximises rigidity and minimises weight by means of composite technology (nodular cast iron ﬂoating caliper, aluminium casing).

433_185

ESP

A new ESP generation by Bosch with the designation ESP Plus is used in the Audi Q5. Compared to the ESP 8.1, the ESP Plus system has been optimised in design and functioning.

The basic functions of EBD, ABS, EDL, TCS, ESP, EBC etc. are identical to those of the ESP 8.1. In addition, there are new functions - which are

explained below. The electric pump drive motor has been uprated, thus optimising its dynamic control behaviour.

ESP Offroad Mode

The ESP Offroad Mode has been developed speciﬁcally for use in rough terrain. When ESP Offroad Mode is active, the ESP control processes are adapted to the offroad conditions. ESP control processes are effected much later, thereby allowing drift movements about the vehicle's vertical axis and partial wheel spin. This ensures that optimum traction is achieved on soft or loose surfaces.

ESP Offroad Mode can be activated using the ESP Off switch. When ESP Offroad Mode is active, "ESP Offroad" is displayed in the driver information system or on the centre display and indicated by the activated ESP symbol.

433_150

Running gear

Brake system

ESP control

Automatic offroad detection

In 2009, for the ﬁrst time, the existing ESP functions will be extended to include an automatic offroad recognition feature. This feature will be implemented by evaluating the wheel oscillation as indicated by the wheel speed signals.

When offroad conditions are detected, the control characteristics of the ABS, TCS and EDL systems are modiﬁed accordingly. Higher slip values are allowed at the wheels. When braking, for example, partial locking of the wheels causes wedges to form in front of the wheels due to the displacement of loose surface material. These wedges increase motion resistance, i.e. they provide additional braking. If the driver has activated the ESP Offroad Mode using the ESP OFF button, offroad conditions are detected even more quickly than by automatic detection.

433_153

Downhill Assist Control

In the Audi Q7, the function is activated by depressing the foot brake. In the Audi Q5, the Downhill Assist Control can, for the ﬁrst time, be activated by a separate switch. Unlike comparable systems of other manufacturers, the system in the Audi Q5 is not preset to a very low constant nominal speed. The control variable is the speed at which the vehicle is travelling on entering the gradient. The system basically functions in the same way as the system in the Q7. Like in the Q7, the function of the EBD is modiﬁed when reversing by applying increased braking force to the rear axle. This is detected by the fact that reverse gear is engaged. Downhill Assist Control is also active when no gear is engaged or the clutch is actuated.

433_152

Downhill Assist Control

The intervention range has been extended over the Audi Q7 and, in the case of the Audi Q5, is at speeds of between 9 kph and 30 kph. The function can be switch-operated at speeds of up to 60 kph. The function is automatically deactivated when a speed of 60 kph is exceeded.

Speed in kph

When Downhill Assist Control is active and in Standby mode, this is indicated to the driver in the centre display at speeds of up to 30 kph. The LED in the switch lights up when the function is activated at speeds of up to 60 kph.

Towing vehicle and trailer stabilisation system

The towing vehicle and trailer stabilisation system basically functions in the same way as the system implemented already on other Audi models. The oscillation within the typical frequency range for a towing vehicle and trailer (approx. 0.5 Hz to 1.5 Hz) is evaluated by the ESP system. If a deﬁned amplitude threshold is exceeded three times in succession, the stabilisation system is activated. Depending on yaw velocity, the towing vehicle and trailer are stabilised in two phase. In the ﬁrst phase, the wheels are braked asymmetrically.

433_151

The aim is to stabilise the towing vehicle and trailer

without a large amount of longitudinal deceleration

(max. approx. 1.5 m/s2). If this is insufﬁcient, it is

followed by a second phase in which all four

wheels are braked with the aim of achieving high

longitudinal deceleration (approx. 3.5 m/s2).

The braking operations are performed below the

ABS intervention threshold. An active stabilisation

system is indicated by ﬂashing of the ESP warning

lamp. At the same time, the brake lights are

activated.

Running gear

Roof rack detection

For the ﬁrst time in a SUV, the Audi Q5 has the ability to detect a mounted roof rack and take this in account in the ESP control logic. A roof rack has a signiﬁcant effect on the centre of gravity height of a vehicle. The control characteristics of the ESP system in the Audi Q5 are adapted to the change in centre of gravity height.

A Hall sensor, connected to the ABS control unit/

ESP by a discrete line, is integrated in the standard

roof rail.

The cross bars (also standard) have an integrated

permanent magnet which triggers a corresponding

sensor signal when cross bars are mounted.

Rear outside lights

Layout of the rear lamps

As with the Audi Q7, a distinction is also made between main rear lights - in the tailgate - and auxiliary rear lights - in the bumper. Since the main rear lights swing upwards with the tailgate when it is opened, a set of ﬁxed auxiliary rear lights must be installed on the rear bumper.

Main rear light in the tailgate

The brake/tail light and the turn signal lamp are

housed in the main rear light.

The auxiliary brake/tail lights and turn signals as

well as the reversing lights and the rear fog lights

are integrated in the auxiliary rear lights.

Activation of the rear lights

Unlike the Audi Q7, all rear lights on the Audi Q5 are activated by the convenience electronics central control unit J393. The J393 is also responsible for switching over the rear lights. The "third brake light" function is provided by 18 LEDs integrated in the tailgate upper section.

Switchover of the rear lights

Symmetrical switchover on opening the tailgate

When the tailgate is opened, the brake/tail lights and the turn signals are switched over from the main rear lights to the auxiliary rear lights. The lamps in the main rear lights are then deactivated. When the tailgate is closed again, the system switches back to the main rear lights. The auxiliary rear lights are then deactivated again.

Asymmetric switchover in the event of lamp failure

In the event of failure of a turn signal/brake light or tail light function, the system switches over asymmetrically to the lamp in the auxiliary rear light, i.e. only the faulty side is switched over. If this occurs, a fault message is indicated via the dash panel insert. If the system switches over to the auxiliary rear lights because the main rear lights have failed, no attempt is made to switch on the main rear lights again until the next terminal 15 cycle begins.

Audi drive select

Like the Audi A5 and the Audi A4 ‘08, the Audi Q5 is optionally available with the innovative Audi drive select system. Previously, systems such as the automatic gearbox or the damping control system, could only be controlled separately via the "Sport" setting. The Audi drive select system now allows multiple systems, the engine, the automatic gearbox, the damping control system, the Servotronic system, the dynamic steering system and the sport differential* to be set at the touch of a button. In this way, completely individual vehicle's characteristics can be conﬁgured. The behaviour of these systems is controlled electronically and can be adjusted to between comfortable and dynamic.

COMFORT DYNAMIC

Engine

normal normal Sport mode

Audi drive select is also referred to in-house or in

the service literature as "Charisma". The centrepiece

of the system is the Charisma switch module E592,

which is used to read in and communicate the

driver's input to the onboard power supply control

unit J519.

* To be introduced at a later date

Headlight Assist System

Function

The new Audi Headlight Assist System is available as optional equipment for the Audi Q5. The system offers the driver better visibility in the dark since the main-beam headlights are always switched on, subject to trafﬁc and ambient conditions.

How the Headlight Assist System works when an oncoming vehicle is detected:

The Headlight Assist System detects build-up areas and towns by street lighting, whereupon it dims the headlights to dipped beam. After leaving the builtup area or town, the headlights are automatically switched back to main beam. The system software also has the ability to detect thick fog,

When the camera of the Headlight Assist System

detects an oncoming vehicle or trafﬁc ahead, the

headlights are dipped in a timely manner in order

to avoid dazzling other road users. Once detected

vehicles move outside the detection range of the

Headlight Assist System again, the headlights are

automatically switched back to main beam.

433_069 433_070433_068

in which case it also dims the headlights to dipped

beam. The Headlight Assist System maximises the

"on" time of the main-beam headlights, and

therefore provides better visibility. The driver has

less workload and can concentrate better on trafﬁc.

How the Headlight Assist System works when passing through a built-up area:

Note

The Headlight Assist System is a driver Assist System, which assists driving in the dark by automatically switching the main-beam headlights on and off. However, it does not discharge the driver from his duty to make responsible use of the main-beam headlights while driving. For this reason, the driver can manually turn the main-beam headlights on and off at any time - even when Headlight Assist is active.

433_073433_072433_071

System operation

Activating the Headlight Assist System

To activate the Headlight Assist System, the rotary light switch must be in the "AUTO" position. The Headlight Assist System can be activated by ﬂicking the main-beam stalk forward. The Headlight Assist System must be reactivated during each terminal 15 cycle.

ﬂick forward

"stalk not actuated"

position

Deactivating the Headlight Assist System

The Headlight Assist System is permanently

deactivated when the rotary light switch is rotated

out of the "AUTO" position. Flicking the main-beam

stalk forward deactivates the Headlight Assist

System until the main-beam stalk is again ﬂicked

forward.

pull back

Overriding the Headlight Assist System

The driver can override any decision made by the activated Headlight Assist System (main-beam headlights ON/OFF) at any time.

Main-beam headlights switched on by the Headlight Assist System can be switched off by pulling the main-beam stalk back. This also deactivates the Headlight Assist System.

If the Headlight Assist System has only switched on the dipped headlights, the main-beam headlights can be switched on by ﬂicking the main-beam stalk forwards. This also deactivates Headlight Assist System.

433_074

New features of the main-beam stalk

The Audi Q5 has a modiﬁed main-beam stalk in the

steering column switch.

The new main-beam stalk no longer engages in its

end position when it is pushed forward, but returns

to its initial position after it is released.

The steering column electronics control unit J527

monitors when the main-beam stalk is ﬂicked

forward and pulled back, and processes the

information accordingly.

Electrical system

Warning lamp in the dash panel insert

An activated Headlight Assist System is indicated in the dash panel insert in the same position as where the total mileage is displayed when the Headlight Assist System is deactivated.

If the main-beam headlights are "on", the familiar blue main-beam headlight warning lamp in the dash panel insert is lit.This lamp is lit regardless of whether the main-beam headlights have been switched on manually or by the Headlight Assist System.

Switch-on and switch-off conditions of the automatic main-beam headlights

433_075

Switching-on of the main-beam headlights by the Headlight Assist System:

The activated Headlight Assist System switches on the main-beam headlights only if all the following conditions are met:

– The camera of the Headlight Assist System indicates that ambient luminosity has dropped below a

preconﬁgured threshold level,

– the dipped headlights have already been switched "on" at the instruction of the rain and light detector

sensor,

– the vehicle is travelling at a speed of greater than 60 kph,

– neither a vehicle ahead nor oncoming trafﬁc has been detected and

– no built-up area has been detected.

Switching-off of the main-beam headlights by the Headlight Assist System:

If the main-beam headlights have been switched on by the Headlight Assist System, they will be switched off again under the following conditions:

– An oncoming vehicle is detected.

– A vehicle is detected ahead.

– A sufﬁciently illuminated built-up area is detected.

– The vehicle's speed drops below 30 kph.

– The Headlight Assist System clearly detects fog.

Reference

A separate Self-Study Programme (SSP 434) has been published on the topic of "The Audi Headlight Assist System". It also describes how the Headlight Assist System functions in road trafﬁc, the operating logic of the Headlight Assist System when the main-beam stalk is actuated, the system interface to the vehicle electronics, the communication structure (networking) and the diagnostics.

Installation location of the Headlight Assist System

The electronics and optics of the Headlight Assist System are wholly integrated in the rear-view mirror. The camera of the Headlight Assist System is built into the base of the rear-view mirror, which itself is securely mounted on the windscreen. The camera is a special black-and-white camera.

The Headlight Assist control unit J844 is integrated

in the actual rear-view mirror, which is mounted

movably.The Headlight Assist control unit is an

Extended-CAN user and interchanges information

with other control units via this bus.

Aerial diagnostics

All radio aerials in the Audi Q5 have full self-diagnostic capability. Now open circuits in the aerial system can not only be detected between the tuner and the ampliﬁer. In fact, the new method enables the aerial system to be tested through the ampliﬁer up to the aerial. This has the advantage that a fault is stored in the fault memory if, for example, the connection to the rear window is broken. This means that there is no need for a laborious analysis of reception strength in order to trace a customer complaint.

Air conditioning

Air conditioning system

The Audi Q5 is equipped as standard with an automatic air conditioning system with ram pressure control, manual air recycle mode, sun position dependent control and key identiﬁcation. A three-zone deluxe automatic air conditioning system is optional.

Refrigerant system Q5

Liquid tank with drier canister

This system allows the temperature to be set

separately for the driver, front passenger and rear

zones. It also provides the following additional

comfort functions for the customer:

– Indirect ventilation

– Automatic air recirculation control

– Moisture sensors

Air intake box

Air conditioner

Condenser

Refrigerant pressure and temperature sender G395

The Audi Q5 uses an adapted version of the refrigerant system in the Audi A4/A5. The internal heat exchanger, which is designed as a coaxial low and high pressure line, increases the efﬁciency of the thermodynamic circulation process, i.e. the air conditioning system. The lines can be disconnected at the quick release couplings using release tool T40149.

Compressor

By using a thermally controlled expansion valve, it is

possible to install a smaller compressor with equal

refrigeration capacity.

Like the system in the Audi A4/A5, the air condi-

tioner is divided into two modules: the air intake box

and the air conditioner with air distributor housing.

433_084

Electrical connection of the automatic air conditioning system

The electronic components are networked using the same conﬁguration as in the Audi A4 ‘08 and A5 models. Data from various senders and sensors is read in locally by the onboard power supply control unit J519 or by the convenience system central control unit J393, and made available to the Climatronic control unit J255 via the convenience CAN data bus.

Visualisation of air conditioning settings

As with the Audi A4 ‘08 and A5, the Climatronic control unit J255 does not have a Set-up button. The automatic air conditioning system set-up function is integrated in the radio or MMI system. After pressing the "CAR" function button and subsequently the "A/C" control button, the Set-up functions are available. Adjustments to air conditioning settings - e.g. blower level, air distribution or temperature - are displayed to the customer as a pop-up window. The originally selected screen remains open in the background and the adjusted air conditioning setting is displayed in the fore-ground at the side of the screen. Display duration can be adjusted using the diagnostic tester.

Heated cupholder Z105

The cupholder Z105 is heatable and coolable. It is installed in the centre console between the MMI control panel and the armrest. The Peltier effect is used to control the temperature of the cupholder. Peltier elements consist of a multiple identical, square-shaped p-n type semiconductor junctions connected in series. This plate-shaped Peltier conﬁguration is sandwiched on both sides, electrically and mechanically, by ceramic plates. When a direct current is applied, one side of the plate heats up while the other side cools down. The heating and cooling sides are inverted by reversing the direction of the electrical current.

"Cooling" button with blue function LED

Cupholder Z105

The direction of the electrical current can be

reversed by using two buttons, which are posi-

tioned directly in front of the heated cupholder

Z105.

For better cooling, the heat on the heated side of

the Peltier element is dissipated by means of a fan.

For this purpose, air is induced on the driver's side

of the centre console, passed through the cooling

element of the cupholder Z105 and vented on the

front passenger side.

The heatable and coolable cupholder Z105 has a

maximum current draw of 3.5 A with a rated power

output of approx. 40 W.

Pre-heater

The pre-heater in the Audi Q5 serves primarily to heat the vehicle interior of the vehicle and defrost the windows. For this purpose, vehicles are equipped with a pre-heater and a heater coolant shut-off valve N279. In pre-heating mode, the valve creates a small water circuit in which water circulates between only the pre-heater and the heat exchanger in the vehicle interior.

Assembly Heater

A revised solenoid valve with only 3 terminals is used

on the Audi Q5.

The additional heater control unit J364 activates the

heater coolant shut-off valve N279 until the coolant

in the pre-heater reaches the preset temperature or

until the engine is running at a speed of greater than

1200 rpm.

When deenergised, the heater coolant shut-off valve

N279 is open and coolant ﬂows through the large

circuit.

air heater Z35, even if these vehicles are ordered

with a pre-heater. At present the pre-heater is not

used as a supplementary heater on the Audi Q5.

Heater coolant shut-off valve N279

A modiﬁed heater coolant shut-off valve N279 is used on the Audi Q5. The new shut-off valve N279 has only 3 outlets. When servicing is necessary, the same procedure applies to both shut-off valves.

Service

The Advanced Maintenance Concept

The Advanced Maintenance Concept differentiates between three independent service events. A distinction is made between a ﬂexible service event, a mileage dependent service event and a time dependent service event.

Previously, mileage and time dependent service events were linked to the oil change, whose interval is ﬂexible.

Under the Advanced Maintenance Concept, the customer is not only reminded of the ﬂexible service event - the oil change - by the Service Interval Display but also of upcoming mileage and time dependent service events. As usual, this is indicated to the customer via the dash panel insert.

Service interval

Additional information can be obtained via the "Car"

menu in the MMI or via the radio display.

The Advanced Maintenance Concept is used on the

following models:

– A3 from model year 2008 onwards

– TT from model year 2008 onwards

– A4 from model year 2008 onwards

– A5

– Q5

– A6 from week 46/08 onwards

– Q7 from week 46/08 onwards

– R8 from model year 2009 onwards

Mileage dependent service events

Since mileage and time dependent service events are now also indicated, process reliability is higher. The prerequisite for this is that the Service Interval Display is reset correctly.

Only two lines are provided on the display for the three independent service events.

Note

As a rule, the information given in the current service literature applies.

Brake ﬂuid

As the Maintenance Chart indicates, the brake ﬂuid change interval has been extended. The ﬁrst brake ﬂuid change is now due after three years, and thereafter every two years in conjunction with the main inspection and exhaust emission test. In some markets, the extended oil change intervals already apply to all Audi models from model year ‘07 onwards, i.e. in conjunction with the market launch of the TT and Q7. The combined main inspection/emission test interval applies only to Germany.

Oil change

The oil change now involves less work because, unlike previously, the oil can be extracted from all engine types. It is, therefore, not necessary to remove the soundprooﬁng. The soundprooﬁng now only needs to be removed every 60,000 km in order to check the drive shafts, for example.

Adherence to maintenance intervals

The current maintenance intervals are based on extensive series of tests and are designed to fully utilise the lubricity of the engine oil over the speciﬁed cycle.

The deﬁned oil tolerance limits will be exceeded if the maintenance intervals are not adhered to. Over-ageing of the engine oil - caused by residues from the combustion process in the engine - can impair lubricity. This can lead to increased wear of engine parts dependent on lubrication (cylinder liners, piston rings, camshafts, tappets, chain drives etc.).

The Mobility Guarantee does not cover engine damage caused in this way. The Mobility Guarantee cannot be claimed if, for example, the speciﬁed maintenance intervals are exceeded.

Service

Service Key

Since the introduction of the new key concept (Audi A5, A4 ‘08, and the Audi Q5), the ignition key supports a new function - the Service Key.

A rewritable memory chip is integrated in the key and, current vehicle information is written to this chip at certain intervals.

This information can be read out using a special reader, which is connected to the workshop computer via the USB port. The exported data can be displayed on the screen and transferred to the various service systems by means of software. The Service Key therefore helps the service consultant to comply with Service Core Processes, since it eliminates the laborious manual entry of data.

In the ﬁrst phase of implementation, data can only be written to the key in the vehicle. Data is written to the key once a day at the start of the ﬁrst trip. Data is also saved to the transponder at a difference of 20 km to the last recorded mileage and when a new warning message is indicated. A speed threshold of 20 kph and a time threshold of 40 seconds, which must be exceeded, applies to all three storage conditions.

When using the Service Key, the vehicle data from the last key to be read out remains available until a new key is read out or the Service Key program is restarted.

For this reason, please always make sure that you have read out the correct key before using the Service Key functions in the service systems as otherwise you may not be using the correct vehicle data.

Stored information

The following vehicle information is stored in the Service Key:

– date and time of last update – vehicle mileage at time of last update – current information on the service interval – the transponder ID

Reference

For further information on the Service Key, please refer to SSP 393 - Audi A5 – Convenience Electronics and Driver Assist Systems.

433_086

Order acceptance

The service consultant reads the vehicle data out of the Service Key at the dealership and transfers it to the ELSA electronic service information system. The service consultant recommends necessary service work to the customer based on this data. After the consultation the customer decides what service work he/she wants done. The Maintenance Chart in ELSA provides the basis for this. The ELSA forecast indicates which service work is due next. Bringing forward service events is only recommended if the next service event is due in less than 5,000 km.
