Fuel supply and filling your fuel tank
(I) Tips
• Runn ing your eng ine while refuelling may cause vapors to escape
or even cause fuel to spill out of the tank. This would then shut off the
fuel nozzle before the tank is full.
• Do not refuel your vehicle with the ignition turned on. The fuel
gauge may otherwise not ind icate the correct fuel level after refuel­
ling.
• Diesel vehicles* are equipped w ith a mechanism to prevent incor­
rect fueling. They can only be fueled with diesel pump nozzles. A
worn, damaged, or improperly specified nozz le may not allow this
mechanism to open, thereby preventing refueling. If you cannot
insert the pump nozzle, rotate it in the tank opening. This should
open the mechanism and allow refueling. •
Unlocking the fuel filler flap by hand
You can open the fuel filler flap by hand if the power
locking system should fail.

TDI clean diesel
App lies to veh icles: w ith diese l eng ine
General information
On TOI clean diesel vehicles, an urea solution (AdBlue®) is injected
into the exhaust system before a specia l catalytic converter to reduce
nitrogen emissions.
The Ad Blue is stored in a separate tank in the vehicle and f illed during
maintenance intervals. Under norma l driving conditions, there will be
enough Ad Blue to last from one maintenance interval to the next.
Because of this, the scheduled maintenance intervals should always
be followed.
The Ad Blue usage accounts for approximately 0.5% to 1 % of the
diesel fuel that is us ed. The Ad Blue tank capacity is approximately 6
gallons (23 liters). ..,_

If Ad Blue usage increases due to individual driving style, the driver
must add AdBlue between scheduled maintenance intervals
=>page 294 .
& WARNING
Failure to heed Ad Blue refill information in the instrument cluster
can prevent the vehicle from being started and driven . If the
vehicle cannot be driven and an emergency arises, personal injury
can occur.
• Always have the Ad Blue tank refilled well before the tank runs
dry.
[ i J Tips
• If the Ad Blue tank is completely empty, the engine w ill not start
agai n after the igni tion is sw itched off. The instrument cluster display
indicates the distance remaining that can be driven=>
page 293.
• Ad Blue is required by law to operate this vehicle.
• AdBlue ® is a registered trademark of the Registered Automob ile
Association (Verband der Automobilindustrie e . V. -VOA). •
