.... Avoid
driving at high speed
Avoid travelling at top speed. Fuel consumption,
exhaust emissions and noise Levels all increase
very rapidly at higher speeds. Driving at moder­
ate speeds will help to save fuel.
Do not let the engine idle for longer than
necessary
Engine idling periods are automatically reduced
on vehicles with start/stop system*. On vehicles
without start/stop system*, it is worthwhile
switching off the engine at Level crossings, for in­
stance, or at traffic lights with a Long red phase.
The fuel saved after only 30 -40 seconds is great­
er than the amount of fuel needed to restart the
engine.
The engine takes a very Long time to warm up
when it is running at idling speed. Mechanical
wear and pollutant emissions are also especially
high during this initial warm-up phase. It is
therefore best to drive off immediately after
starting the engine. Avoid running the engine at
high speed.
Regular ser vicing
Regular servicing can establish a basis for good
fuel economy before you start driving. A well­
serviced engine gives you the benefit of im­
proved fuel efficiency as well as maximum relia­
bility and an enhanced resale value.
A poorly maintained engine can consume up to
ten percent more fuel than necessary.
Check the oil level when filling the tank. Oil con­
su mption depends to a great extent on the en­
gine load and engine speed. It is quite normal
that the oil consumption of a new engine only
reaches its lowest level after a certain mileage.
This means that the oil consumption can only be
properly assessed after about 5,000 km. Depend­
ing on your personal driving style, oil consump­
tion can be up to 0.5 Ltr./1,000 km.
Avoid short trips
The engine and emission control system need to
reach their proper working temperature in order
to minimise fuel consumption and emissions . Driving
A cold engine uses disproportionately more fuel.
The engine only reaches its working temperature
after about four kilometres, when fuel consump­
tion will return to a normal level.
Check tyre pressures
Always make sure the tyres are inflated to the
correct tyre pressures to save fuel. If the tyre
pressures are just 0.5 bar too Low, this can in­
crease the fuel consumption by as much as 5 %.
Due to the greater rolling resistance, under-infla­
tion also increases tyre wear and impairs han­
dling.
The tyre pressures should always be checked
when the tyres are cold.
Do not use winter tyres all through the year; they
will increase fuel consumption by up to 10 %.
Avoid carrying unnecessary loads
Every kilo of extra weight will increase the fuel
consumption, so it is worth checking the Luggage
compartment occasionally to make sure that no
unnecessary Loads are being transported.
Save electrical energy
The engine drives the alternator to generate elec­
tricity. This means that fuel consumption rises
when more power is required for electrical equip­
ment. Switch off electrical equipment when it is
not needed. Electrical equipment which uses a
Lot of electricity includes the blower (at a high
setting), the rear window heating and the seat
heating*.

change. In all cases, the side assist will give
a warning for the vehicles it has detected at the
latest when they enter the "blind spot".
© Other vehicles being overtaken
When you are overtaking another vehicle slowly,
with a speed differential of less than 15 km/h,
the warning lamp in the exterior mirror will light
up as soon as the other vehicle enters your blind
spot.
If you are overtaking another vehicle quickly, with
a speed differential of more than 15 km/h, the
warning lamp will not light up.
System limitations
The radar sensors are designed for normal lane
widths and monitor the lanes immediately to the
left and right of your vehicle. In certain situations
the warning lamp on one of the exterior mirrors
may light up even if no vehicle is travelling in an
area that could be critical in the event of a lane
change. For example:
- When you are travelling in a narrow lane or
when you are not travelling in the centre of the
lane. In this case the system may monitor an­
other lane and register a vehicle that is not in
fact travelling in an adjacent lane.
- When you are driving into a bend. The side as­
sist may react to a vehicle two lanes away.
- If the system detects other objects (such as
crash barriers, etc).
- In poor weather conditions. The functionality of
the side assist is then restricted.
The radar sensors ¢ Fig. 98 must not be obstruc­
ted by stickers, bicycle racks, deposits or any oth­
er substances which could impair the function of
the system. For notes on cleaning, please refer to
¢page 236.
.&_ WARNING
-Always watch the road and the area sur­
rounding the vehicle. The side assist feature
is not a substitute for the full concentration
of the driver. The driver is always responsi­
ble for the safety of lane changes and other
manoeuvres. Driver
assist systems
- In certain situations, the system may not
function properly, or the functionality of the
system may be restricted. For example:
- If other vehicles are approaching very
qui ckly, or if you are overtaking other
vehicles quickly. The warning lamp may
not light up in time.
- In poor weather conditions, such as heavy
rain, snow or road spray.
- If you are travelling in very wide lanes, in
tight bends or over crests. The system may
not detect vehicles in the adjacent lane
because they are outside the area covered
by the sensors.
CD CAUTION
Impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel
arches or underbody can cause misalignment
of the sensors. This can impair the functional­
ity of the system. Have the systems checked
by a qualified workshop.
� Note
The warning lamps on the exterior mirrors
may not be properly visible if tinted foil is af­
fixed to the side windows on the driver's or
passenger's side.
Switching on and off
Applies to vehicles: with Audi side assist
The system can be switched on and off on the in­
fotainment system.
... Select the following on the infotainment sys­
tem: I MENU I button >Car> left control button
> Driver assist> Audi side assist.
The warning lamps in the exterior mirrors light
up briefly each time the ignition is switched on to
indicate that the system is activated .

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Checking
and topping up fluids
Diesel can thicken at very low temperatures,
which can result in problems starting the engine
or prevent the engine from running smoothly. For
this reason, filling stations in some countries of­
fer winter-grade diesel fuel during the cold
months so that you can continue to operate your
vehicle reliably. Ask at your filling station wheth­
er the diesel fuel available there is suitable for
the current conditions and for the temperatures
which could potentially occur.
CD CAUTION
- Never use FAME fuels (biodiesel), petrol,
heating oil, thinners or any other fuels or
additives, as these could cause serious dam­
age to the fuel system and the engine.
- Never start the engine if you fill up with the
wrong type of fuel, as this could damage
the fuel system and the engine. Obtain pro­
fessional assistance.
Filling the tank
Procedure for filling the tank
Fig. 204 Vehicle as seen from the rear right: Opening the
fuel tank flap

ca �
Press the tank flap -arrow- ¢ Fig. 204 to open
it. Your vehicle has a new self-sealing fuel tank
without a tank cap.
� Insert the filler nozzle into the fuel filler neck
as far as the stop ¢ Fig. 205 and ensure it is
properly engaged.
� Start refuelling. When the automatic filler noz­
zle is operated correctly it will switch itself off
as soon as the tank is "full". Do not try to put in
more fuel after the nozzle cuts out, as this will
fill the expansion chamber in the fuel tank.
� When the fuel filler pump switches itself off,
wait for 5 seconds before pulling out the filler
nozzle so that any remaining fuel can flow into
the tank opening.
� Close the tank flap. Make sure you hear it click
into place.
The correct fuel grade for your vehicle is given on
a sticker on the inside of the tank flap. Further
notes on fuel ¢page 217.
The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the
Technical data section ¢ page 258.
& WARNING
Fuel is highly inflammable and can cause seri­
ous burns and other injuries.
- For safety reasons we do not recommend
carrying a spare fuel canister in the vehicle.
The canister could become damaged in an
accident and leak.
- Observe all relevant statutory regulations
on using, storing and transporting spare
fuel canisters.
- When filling your tank or a spare fuel canis­
ter with fuel, do not smoke and keep away
from naked flames -risk of explosion!
- If,
in exceptional circumstances, you have to
carry a spare fuel canister, please observe
the following warnings:
- Never fill fuel into the spare fuel canister
with the canister placed in or on top of the
vehicle. An electrostatic charge could
build up during filling, causing the fuel va­
pour to ignite -risk of explosion! Always
place the canister on the ground to fill it.
- Insert the filler nozzle as far as possible
into the spare fuel canister.
