(D Note
If you leave the child restraint with the tether
strap firmly installed for several days, this
could leave a mark on the upholstery on the
seat cushion and backrest in the area where
the tether strap was installed. The upholstery
would also be permanently stretched a round
the tether s trap. This applies especially to
l eather seats.
Using tether straps on rearward-facing
child restraints
Currently, few rear-facing child restraint systems
come with a tether. Please read and heed the
ch ild restraint system manufacturer's i nstruc­
tions carefully to determine how to properly in­
stall the tether.

A child in a rearward-facing child safety seat installed on the front passenger seat will be
seriously inju red and can be k illed if the front
airbag inf lates -even with an Advanced Airbag
System.
- The inflating airbag will h it the child safety
seat or infant carrier with great force and
will smash the child safety seat and child aga inst the backrest, center armrest, or
door.
- If you m ust install a rearward facing child
safety seat on the front passenger seat be­
cause of exceptional circumstances and the
PA SSENGER A IR BA G OFF light does not
come on and stay on, immediately install

Checking and Filling
Fueling procedure
Fig. 156 Right rear side of the vehicle: opening the fue l
filler door
Fig . 157 Fue l filler door w it h atta ched fue l cap
The fuel fi ller door is unlocked or locked by the
central locking system .
Opening the fuel cap
I
• Press the left side of the fuel filler door to open
it -arrow -
9 fig. 156.
• Unscrew the tank cap counte rclockw ise.
• Place the cap from above on the open fue l filler
door
9 fig. 157.
Cl osi ng th e fu el cap
• Turn the fue l cap clockwise until you hear it
lock.
• Close fuel filler door until it latches.
Once the pump nozzle sw itches off, the fuel tank
is "fu ll". Do not fi ll the tank more. Otherw ise the
expansion space in the tank will be fi lled.
The correct fuel type for your vehicle can be
found on a label located on the inside of the fue l
fi ller door. For addit io nal info rmation on fuel, re­
fe r to
Q page 184.
The fuel tank capacity of your vehicle can be
found in the
Technic al Data 9 page 251.
186
To avoid fuel spilling or evaporating from the fuel
tank always close fue l filler cap properly and
completely . An improperly closed f uel f iller cap
may also cause the MIL lamp
~ page 21 to come
on.
A WARNING
Not pay ing attention w hen fueling or han­
dling f uel incorrectly can lead to fires , explo­
sions o r serious injur ies .
- Fue l ignites easily and can cause serious
burns and other injur ies .
-
-If you do not switch the engine off when fu ­
eling a nd/or do not insert the fuel nozzle
comp letely into the tank open ing, fuel can
leak out o r run over. Leaked fuel can ign ite
and start a fire.
- Do not use the telephone wh ile f uel ing . The
elec tromagneti c rays can cause sparks,
which can ignite fue l vapors and s tart a fire.
- Do not sit in your vehicle wh ile fue ling. If
you must make an excep tion and enter yo ur
veh icle aga in while fueling, close the door
and touch me tal to discharge static electric ­
ity before touching the f uel nozz le . Static
electricity can create sparks, which can ig­
nite vapors when fueling .
- Do not smoke or have an open flame in the
area when fueling your vehicle or filling a
fue l conta iner because this increases the
risk of an explosion.
- For your safety, carrying fuel containers in
your veh icle is not recommended. Whether
full or empty, the container can leak and
cause a fire in the even t of an acc ident.
- If you must make an exception and trans­
port a fuel containe r, note the follow ing:
- Never fill the fuel co ntainer with fue l
while it is in or on the vehicle. Static e lec ­
tricity is discharged when fi lling which can
cause the fuel vapors to ignite and in­
creases the risk of an exp losion.
- Always place a fuel conta iner on the
ground before fill ing.
- Always ho ld the fuel nozzle completely in
the fue l container when filling.

<( co ..... N
" N ..... 0 r--. > 00
-If the fuel container is made of metal, the
fuel nozzle must always be in contact with
the container when filling it with fuel. This
prevents static electricity from discharg­
ing.
- Never spill fuel in the vehicle or the lug­
gage compartment . Evaporated fuel is ex­
plosive and increases the risk of serious in­
jury or death.
- Follow legal requirements when using,
storing and transporting fuel containers .
- Make sure the fuel container conforms to industry standards (ANSI/ASTM F852-86).
(D Note
-Remove spilled fuel from vehicle paint im­
mediately, because it can damage paint.
- Never drive until the fuel tank is completely
empty . The irregular supply of fuel that re­
sults from that can cause engine misfires. Uncombusted fuel will enter the exhaust
system and increase the risk of damage to
the catalytic converter.
@) For the sake of the environment
If the fuel nozzle is used correctly, it will ind i­
cate that the tank is full the first time it
sw itches off automatically. Do not try to add
more fuel, because it can spill over. Also, the
expansion space in the tank will fill, which can
result in fuel spilling out when it becomes
warm and polluting the environment.
@ Tips
Fuel can age and may lead to problems when
starting . Audi recommends replacing the fuel
in your vehicle within six months.
@ Tips
- If the engine is running while fueling, va­
pors can escape or the fuel can spill over.
Because of th is, the fuel nozzle switches off
before the tank is full.
- Do not fue l the vehicle when the ignition is
switched on . Otherwise, the fuel gauge may
not show the correct level after fueling the
vehicle.
Checking and Filling
-The fuel filler door on your vehicle does not
lock when you lock the vehicle from the in­
side.

environmentally sound manner.
.. Always use lead-free gasoline c:> page 184, Gas­
oline grade .
