Single-trip memory (Trip compute r 1)
The sing le-tr ip memory stores the tr ip info rma­
t ion from the time the ignition is turned on until
i t is turned off . If the trip is continued
within 2
hours
from the t ime the ignition was turned off,
the new data will be included in the calcu lation of
t h e curren t trip informat io n. If the trip is inter­
rupted for
more than 2 hour s the memory is re­
set automatically .
Total-trip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the single-tr ip memo ry, the total-trip
memo ry is not reset automat ica lly. This permits

Fuel and Refueling
Fuel
Gasoline
Applies to vehicles: with gasoline engine
Using the right fuel helps keep the environment
clean and prevents engine damage .
Fuel recommendation
The fuel recommended for your vehicle is unlead­
ed premium
grade gasoline. Audi recommends
using TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline with a mini­
mum octane rating of 91 AKI (95 RON). For more
information on TOP T IER Detergent Gasoline ,
please go to the official website
(www.toptiergas.com).
The recommended gasoline octane rating for
your engine can also be found on a label located
on the inside of the fuel filler flap. This rating
may be specified as AKI or RON .
Your vehicle may also be operated using unlead­
ed regular gasoline with a minimum octane rat ­
ing of 87 AKl/91 RON . However , using 87 AKl/91
RON octane fue l wi ll slight ly reduce engine per­
formance.
Use unleaded gasoline only. Unleaded gasoline
is available throughout the USA, Canada, and in
most European countries. We recommend that
you do not take your vehicle to areas or countries
where unleaded gasoline may not be available.
For more informat ion on refueling your vehicle,
see
~ page 215.
Octane rating
Octane rating indicates a gasoline's ability to re­
sist engine damaging "knock" caused by prema­
ture ignition and detonation . Therefore, buying
the correct grade of gasoline is very important to
help prevent possible engine damage and a loss
of eng ine performance.
Gasoline most commonly used in the United
States and Canada has the following octane rat­
ings that can usually be found on the filler pump:
- Prem ium Grade : 91- 96 AKI
Fuel and Refueling
- Regular Grade: 87 -90 AKI
Ex planation of the abbreviations:
AKI =
Anti Knock Index = (R +M)/2 = (RON+MON)/
2
RON= Research Octane Number
MON = Motor Octane Number.
(D Note
- Do not use any fuel w ith octane ratings low­
er than 87 AKI or 91 RON otherwise expen­
sive engine damage wi ll occur.
- Do
not us e leaded gasoline. The use of lead­
ed gasoline will severely damage your veh i­
cle's catalytic converter and its ability to
contro l exha ust emissions.
Blended gasoline
App lies to vehicles: wit h gasoli ne e ngi ne
Use of gasoline containing alcohol or MTBE
(methyl tertiary butyl ether)
You may use unleaded gasoline blended with al­
cohol or MTBE (commonly referred to as oxygen­
ates) if the blended mixture meets the following
criteria:
Blend of gasoline methanol (wood alcohol or
methyl alcohol)
-Anti -knock index must be 87 AKI or higher.
- Blend must contain no more than 3% metha-
nol.
- Blend must contain more than 2% co-solvents.
Blend of gasoline and ethanol (grain alcohol or
ethyl alcohol)
- Anti-knock index must be 87 AKI or higher.
- Blend must not contain more than 15% etha-
nol.
- Vehicles w ith flexible fuel* engine: blend must
not contain more than 85% ethanol.
Blend of gasoline and MTBE
-Anti-knock index must be 87 AKI or higher.
- Blend must contain not more than 15% MTBE.

Gasoline additives
Appl ies to vehicles: with gaso line engine
A major concern among many auto manufactur­
ers is carbon deposit build-up caused by the type
of gasoline yo u use.
Although gasoline grades differ from one manu­
facture r to another, they have certa in things in
common. A ll gasoline grades contain substances
that can cause deposits to collect on v ita l engine
parts, such as fue l injectors and intake va lves. A l­
though most gasoline brands include additives to
keep engine and fuel systems clean, they are not
equally effective.
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas­
oline. For more information on TOP TIER Deter­
gent Gasoline, please go to the official website
(www.toptiergas.com).
After an extended period of using inadequate
fuels, built-up carbon deposits can rob your en­
gine of peak performance .
CD Note
-Damage or malf u nction due to poor fuel
quality is not covered by the Audi New Vehi­
cle Limited Warranty.
- Do not add aftermarket fuel additive prod­
ucts to your fuel tank.
Diesel fuel
Applies to veh icles: with d iesel e ng in e
Always use ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) No. 2.
The ULSD No. 2 meets the ASTM O97S.
Diesel fuel with concentrat ions of biodiesel high­
er than S
% such as B11, B2O or B1OO are strictly
prohibited.
Service station fuel pumps are labeled w ith the
correct fuel information for easy recognition by
the user .
If the diesel fuel pump is not labeled
ask the station operator what fuel is being d is­
pensed before filling up your vehicle.
ULSD No. 2 may not be ava ilab le outside the USA
and Canada. Be sure to check before traveling to
other countries .
Fuel and Refueling
ULSD No. 2 can become thicker in very cold tem ­
peratures, and this can impair the engine's start­
ing and running. Depend ing on the season, gas
stations provide ULSD No. 2 that flows better in cold temperatures so that you can cont inue oper­
ating your vehicle as usual.
CD Note
- Your vehicle's diesel engine was designed
soley for use w ith ULSD No. 2. Therefore,
never use gasoline, heating oil, other fuels
or flow improvers. These contain substances
that will severe ly damage the fuel system
and the engine. Such damage will not be
covered by your New Vehicle Limited War­
ranty.
- If you put any amount of incorrect fuel in
the fuel tank, do not start the engine under
any circumstances. Immediately contact the
nearest authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized Aud i Service Facility for assistance .
These fuels contain substances that can se­
vere ly damage the fuel system and the en­
gine if the engine is started.
Refueling
Fuel filler neck
The fue l filler neck is located on the right rear
side panel behind the fuel filler flap .
If the power lock ing system should fail, you can
still open the flap manually -for detailed instruc­
tions see
¢ page 217.
You can find the fuel tank capacity of your vehicle
in
¢ page 278.
The label on the inside of the fuel f iller flap tells
you the correct fuel for your veh icle. For more in­
formation about fuel specifications, see
¢page 213.
Your vehicle fuel tank has an on-board refuelling
vapor recovery system. This feature helps to pre­
ven t fu el vapors from escap ing from the tank and
polluting the environment while yo u refuel your
vehicle. In order to fill the tank properly while
protecting the environment, please follow this
refueling procedure carefully .

Fuel and R efue lin g
_& WARNING
Under normal operating conditions, never car ­
ry additional fuel containers in your car. Gas
canisters and other containers used to trans­
port fuel can be dangerous. Such containers,
full or empty, may leak and could cause a fire
in a collision. If you must transport fuel to
use for your lawn mower, snow blower, etc.,
be very careful and a lways observe loca l and
state laws rega rding the use, transportation
and sto rage of such fuel containers. Make cer­
tain the container meets industry standards
(ANSI/ASTM F852 -86) .
(D Note
Never d rive you r vehicle unt il the fuel tank is
comp letely empty. The irreg ular supply of
fue l can cause m isfiring. Gasoline cou ld enter
the exhaust system and damage the catalytic
converter.

Static electricity can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors released during refueling.
- Never smoke or have an open flame any­
where in or near your vehicle when refueling or filling a portable fuel container.
- For your safety, we strong ly recommend
that you do not travel with a portable fuel
container in your vehicle. The container, full
or empty may leak and could cause a fire,
especially in a crash.
- If, under exceptional circumstances, you
must transport a portable fuel container,
please observe the following:
- Never fill a portable fuel container whi le it
is anywhere in or on the vehicle (for exam­
ple, in the luggage compartment, or on
the trunk). Static electricity can bui ld up
while filling and can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
- Always place a portable fuel container on
the ground before filling.
-Always keep the fi ller nozzle complete ly
ins ide the portable container before and
during filling.
- If filling a portable container made of
metal, the filler nozz le must always be in
contact w ith the container . Th is will help
prevent static e lectricity from discharg ing
and cause a fire .
- Never sp ill fuel inside the vehicle or lug­
gage compartment. Fue l vapors are highly
flammab le.
- Always observe local and state/provincial laws rega rding the use, storage and trans­
portat ion of fuel contai ners.
- Make certa in the fuel container meets in­
dustry standards (ANSI/ ASTM F852 -86) .
(D Note
If any fuel has spilled onto the car, it shou ld
be removed immediately to prevent damage
to the paint .
@ For the sake of the environment
As soon as the correctly operated nozzle sw itches off automatically for the first time,
the tank is full . Do not try to add more fuel
Fu el a nd R efu elin g
because f uel may spill out. In addition, the
expansion space in the fuel tank will be fi lled -
causing the fue l to overflow when it becomes
warm and pollute the environment.
@ Tips
- Running your engine whi le refue lling may
cause vapors to escape or even cause fue l to
spill out of the tank. This would then sh ut
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 indicate the correct fuel level after refu­
elling .
- Diesel vehicles* are equipped with a diesel
m isfueling protector .
It allows the vehicle to
be fueled only with a d iesel fue l pump noz­
zle . A wo rn o r damaged nozzle o r a nozz le
that is too small may not be able to open
the diesel misfueling protector.
If this is the
case , try turning the nozzle before insert ing
it in the fuel filler neck, use a different fuel
pump or see your authorized A udi dealer or
authorized repair facility for assistance.
- The fuel fi ller f lap of your vehicle is not
locked when you lock the vehicle from the
inside.
Unlocking the fuel filler flap
by hand
You can open the fuel filler flap by hand if the
power locking system should fail.
