Gasoline additives
App lies to vehicles: with gasoline engine
A major concern among many auto manufac­
turers is carbon deposit build-up caused by
the type of gasoline you use.
A lthough gasoline grades differ from one
manufacturer to another , they have certa in
things in common. All gasoli ne g rades contain
substances that can ca use depos its to co llec t
on vi tal engine parts, suc h as fu el injectors
and inta ke valves . Although most gasoline
b rands include addi tive s to kee p eng ine and
f u e l sys tems clean, they are no t eq ually e ffec ­
tive.

Diesel fuel
Applies to vehicles: wit h diese l eng ine
Always use ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) sul ­
fur content 15 ppm or less .
The ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diese l) meets the
ASTM-D-97S (grade 2).
Die sel fuel with a higher con cent ration than
ULSD-Diesel No. 2 ASTM D9 75 and Bio-die­
sel with a higher concentrat ion than 5
% like
Bl 1, B20 or B100 are strictly prohib ited.
Se rv ice stat ion fue l pum ps a re labe led with
the correct fuel information for easy recogn i­
t ion by t he user. If the d iesel fuel pump is not
l abeled ask the station operator what fuel is
being dispensed before filling up you r vehicle.
Se rv ice stat ions offering Diese l fue l are gener ­
ally located on t ruck routes or major high­
ways. Directories of Diesel f uel stat io ns are
u sua lly available at D iese l fuel stations .
Some states in the USA req uire permits to
purchase Diesel fuel. Check with your State
Motor Vehicle Department .
Diesel f uel may not be ava ila bl e outside t he
U SA and Canada. Be s ure to check before trav ­
eling to other countries.
Winter operation
At tempe ratu res be low 20° F (- 7° C), Diesel
fuel No. 2 loses its fluidity due to wax sepa ra­
t ion, w hich may clog the fue l fi lter or tank fi l­
ter and keep the eng ine from runn ing .
T o he lp the filte r from bei ng clogged by wax,
t h e f ue l fi lter in yo ur vehicle is automatically
preheate d. Pre heat ing t he f uel fi lter makes
operation of your vehicle poss ible with D iese l
fuel No. 2 down to -10° F (-24° C) .
If you expect temperatures below 5° F
( - 15° C) ask your fue l dea ler whether thei r
Diesel f uel N o. 2 is s uff icient ly w interized for
the prevailing and expected temperatures.
If not winter ized o r ins uff ic ient ly w interized
Diesel f uel has already thickened to t he extent
t h at the engine wi ll not start, warm the vehi -
cle up by leav ing it in a heated garage.

230 Fuel supply and filling your fuel tank
• If there was no Ad Blue left in the tank and a
range of
O mi (0 km) was displayed in the
instrument cluster, switch the ignition on
for about 15 seconds before starting the en­ gine.
A WARNING
Ad Blue can irr itate the skin, eyes and res­
piratory system. If there is contact with
the fluid, flush immediately with p lenty of
water. Consult a physician if necessary.
0 Note
- Only use Ad Blue that conforms to the
standard ISO 2224 1-1. Do not mix any
additives with the Ad Blue and do not di­
lute it with water .
- AdBlue is not a diesel additive . Do not
add it to the diesel tank. If Ad Blue is
mixed w ith diesel fuel, it can lead to
damage to the engine and the Ad Blue
tank system. The Limited New Vehicle
Warranty does not cover such damage.
-Ad Blue attacks surfaces such as painted
vehicle components, plastic and carpet .
Remove the fluid as quickly as possible
with a damp cloth and plenty of cold wa­
ter. If the Ad Blue has already crystal­
li zed, use warm water and a sponge .
AdBlue res idue that is not removed will
crystallize and can damage the affected
surface.
- Do not store the refill bottle in the vehi­
cle. If it leaks, the escap ing Ad Blue could
damage the vehicle inter ior.
- Do not allow Ad Blue to come into con­
tact with clothing. If there is contact
with the fluid, flush immediately with
plenty of water.
@ Tips
-You can obtain refill bottles from any au­
thorized Audi dealer or other qualified
workshop.
- Follow the Ad Blue manufacturer's in­
str uctions for usage and storage.
