Gasoline additives
A major concern among many auto manufactur
ers is carbon deposit build-up caused by the type
of gasoline you use .
A lthough gasoline grades differ from one manu
facturer to another, they have certain things in
common. All gasoline grades contain substances
that can cause deposits to collect on vita l engine
parts, such as fuel injectors and intake valves. Al
though most gasoline brands include additives to
keep eng ine and fuel systems clean, they are not
equally effect ive .
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas
oline . For more information on TOP TIER Deter
gent Gasoline, please go to the official webs ite
(www .toptiergas .com).
After an extended period of using inadequate
fuels, built-up carbon deposits can rob your en
g ine of peak performance .

Damage or malfunction due to poor fuel qual

Refueling
Fuel filler neck
The fuel 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
9 page 186.
You can find the fuel tank capacity of your vehicle
in 9 page234.
The label on the inside of the fuel filler flap tells
you the correct fuel for your vehicle . For more in
format ion about fuel specifications, see
9 page 183.
Your vehicle fuel tank has an on-board refuelling
vapor recovery system. This feature helps to pre
vent fuel vapors from escap ing from the tank and
po lluting the environment while you refuel your
vehicle. In order to fi ll the tank properly while
protecting the environment , p lease follow this
r efueling procedure carefully .
_& WARNING

can isters 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 co llision .
If you must transport fuel to
use for your lawn mower, snow blower, etc .,
be ve ry careful and always observe local and
state laws regarding the use, transportation
