in a collision. If you must transport fuel to
use for your lawn mower, snow blower, etc.,
be very careful and a lways observe local and
state laws regarding the use, transportation
and storage of such fue l conta iners. Make cer­
tain the container meets industry standards
(ANSI/ASTM F852 -86) .

Selective catalytic reduction (AdBlue)
General information
Applies to vehicles: with selective catalyt ic reduction
In vehicles with se lective cata lytic reduction, a
urea solution (Ad B lue) is injected into the ex ­
haust system before a nitrogen ox ide catalytic
converter to reduce nitrogen emissions.
The AdBlue is carried in a separate tank in the ve­
hicle. The Ad Blue usage accounts for approxi­
mately 0.5% to 2.5% of the diesel fuel that is
used.
When a message about refilling the Ad B lue ap­
pears in the instr ument cluster disp lay, you must
refill the Ad Blue yourself or have it refilled by an
author ized Audi dealer or author ized Audi Service
