Selective  catalytic reduction 
General  information 
Applies  to vehicles:  with  selective  catalytic  reduction 
In vehicles with  selective  catalytic  reduction,  a 
urea  solution  (AdBlue)  is injected  into  the  ex
haust  system  before  a  nitrogen  oxide catalytic 
converter  to  reduce  nitrogen emissions. 
The Ad Blue  is carried  in a separate  tank  in the  ve 
hicle. The AdBlue usage  accounts  for  approxi
mately  0.5%  to  2.5%  of the  diesel fuel  that  is 
used. 
When  a message  about  refilling the  AdBlue ap
pears  in the  instrument  cluster  display, you must 
refill  the  Ad Blue yourself  or have it  refilled by an 
authorized  Audi dealer  or authorized  Audi Service 
Facility 
r:!.>page 213 . 
{!) Tips 
-The instrument  cluster  display ind icates  the 
distance  remaining  that  can be driven 
¢ page 213. If the  AdBlue  tank  is com
pletely  empty,  the engine  will not start 
again  after  the  ign ition is switched  off. 
- Ad Blue  is required  by law to  operate  th is ve
hicle.
