Fuel and Refueling
Gasoline additives
A major concern among many auto manufactur
ers is carbon deposit build-up ca used by the type
of gasoline you use .
Although gasoline grades d iffer from one manu
facturer to another, they have certain things in
common. All gasoline grades contain substances
that can cause deposits to collect on v ital engine
parts, such as fuel injectors and intake valves. Al
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
fue ls, built-up carbon depos its can rob your en
g ine of peak performance.
CD Note
- Damage or malfunction 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 yo ur fuel tank.
Refueling
Fuel filler neck
The fuel filler neck is located on the right rear
side panel behind the fuel f iller flap .
If the power locking system should fail, you can
still open the flap manually -for detailed instruc
tions see
c> page 190 .
You can find the fuel tank capacity of your vehicle
in
<=>page 242 .
The label on the inside of the fuel filler flap tells
you the correct fue l for your vehicle. For more in
formation about fuel specifications , see
<=> page 186 .
Your veh icle fuel tank has an on-board refuelling
vapor recovery system. This feature he lps to pre
vent fuel vapors from escaping from the tank and
188
polluting the environment whi le you refuel your
veh icle. In order to fill the tank proper ly while
protecting the env ironment, please follow th is
refueling procedure carefully.
A WARNING
Under normal operating conditions, never car
ry additional fuel containers in your car. Gas
can isters and other containers used to trans
port fue l can be dangerous. Such containers,
full or empty, may leak and could cause a fire
in a col lision.
If you must transport fuel to
use for your lawn mower , snow blower , etc.,
be very careful and always observe local and
state laws regarding the use, transportation
and storage of such fuel containers. Make cer
tain the container meets industry standards (ANSI/ASTM F852 -86) .
CD Note
Never drive your vehicle until the fuel tank is
complete ly empty. The irregular supply of
fuel can cause misfiring. Gasoline could enter the exhaust system and damage the catalytic
converte r.
