Activating the convertible locking retractor
Use the convertible locking retractor to secure a
child restraint.
Always heed the child safety seat manufacturer's
instructions when installing a child restraint in
your vehicle. To activate the convertible locking
retractor:
.. Place the child restraint on a seat, preferably
on the rear seat.
.. Slowly pull the belt all the way out.
.. Route it around or through the child restraint
belt path <:!> .&,..
"'Push the child safety seat down with your full
weight to get the safety belt really tight.
.. Insert the belt tongue into the buckle for that
seating position .
.. Guide the safety belt back into the retractor un­
til
the belt lies flat and snug on the child safety
seat.
.. You should hear a "clicking" noise as the belt
winds back into the inertia reel. Test the con­
vertible locking retractor by pulling on the belt.
You should no longer be able to pull the belt
out of the retractor. The convertible locking re­
tractor is now activated .
.. Make sure that the red release button is facing
away from
the child restraint so that it can be
unbuckled quickly.
.. Pull on the belt to make sure the safety belt is
properly
tight and fastened so that the seat
cannot move forward and sideways more than
1 in (2.S cm).
.&_WARNING
Usi ng the wrong child restraint or an improp­
erly installed child restraint can cause serious
personal injury or death in a crash.
- Always
make sure that the safety belt re ­
tractor is locked when installing a child
safety seat. An unlocked safety belt retrac­
tor cannot hold the child safety seat in place
during
normal driving or in a crash.
- Always buckle
the child safety seat firmly in
place even if a child is not sitting in it. A
loose child safety seat can fly around during
a
sudden stop or in a crash.
Child safety
- Always make sure the seat backrest to which
the child restraint is installed is in an up­
right position and securely latched into
place and cannot fold forward. Otherwise,
the seatback with the child safety seat at­
tached to it could fly forward in the event of
an accident or other emergency situation.
-Always read and heed all WARNINGS when­
ever using a child restrained in a vehicle is
being
used <:!>page 212. Special precautions
apply when installing a child safety seat on
the front passenger seat <:!>page 189, Child
restraints on the front seat-some impor­
tant things to know.
Deactivating the convertible locking
retractor
The convertible locking retractor for child re­
straints will be deactivated automatically when
the
belt is wound all the way back into the re­
tractor.
.. Press the red button on the safety belt buckle.
The
belt tongue will pop out of the buckle.
.. Guide the safety belt all the way back into its
stowed position.
Always
let the safety belt retract completely into
its stowed position. The safety belt can now be
used as an ordinary safety belt without the con­
vertible locking retractor for child restraints.
If the convertible locking retractor should be ac­
tivated inadvertently, the safety belt must be un­
fastened and guided completely back into its
stowed position to deactivate this feature. If the
convertible locking retractor is not deactivated,
the safety belt will gradually become tighter and
uncomfortable to wear.
.&. WARNING
Improperly installed child safety seats in­
crease the risk of serious personal injury and
death in a collision.

• Depress the spring catches to release the an­
chorage hooks from the lower anchorages.
Remember: Use tether straps to help keep the
child restraint fir m ly in place .
A WARNING
Improper use of the LATCH system can in­
crease the risk of serious personal injury and
death in an accident.
- These
anchors were developed only for child
safety seats using the "LATCH" system.
-Never attach other child safety seats, belts
or other objects to these anchors.
- Always
make sure that you hear a click when
la tching
the seat in place. If you do not hear

Tether anchors and tether straps
Fig. 174 Tether anchors : attachment hook locations be·
hind th e rear seatbacks
The tether anchors for the rear seating positions
are located on the backside of the rear seat·
backs.
A
tether is a straight or V-shaped strap that at­
taches the top part of a child restraint to special
anchorage points in the vehicle.
The
purpose of the tether is to reduce the for­
ward movement of the child restraint in a crash,
in order to help reduce the risk of head injury
that could be caused by striking the vehicle inte­
rior.
Forward facing child
restraints manufactured af­
ter September 1, 1999, are required by U.S. fed­
eral regulations to comply with new child head
movement performance requirements. These
new
performance requirements make a tether
necessary on most new child safety seats.
A WARNING
Improper installation of child restraints will
increase
the risk of injury and death in a
crash.
-Always follow the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the child restraint you
intend to install in your Audi.
-
Improper use of child restraint anchors (in­
cluding tether anchors) can lead to injury in
a collision. The anchors are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor­
rectly fitted child restraints.
-Never mount two child restraint systems on
-
one LATCH lower anchor point. ..,.

-If you a re unable to determine whether or
not a particular fuel blend
meets the speci­
fications, ask your service station or its fuel
supplier.
-
Do not use fuel for which the contents can­
not be identified.
- Fuel system damage and performance prob­
lems resulting from
the use of fuels differ­
ent from those specified are not the respon­
sibility of
Audi and are not covered under
the New Vehicle or the Emission Control
System Warranties.
- If you experience a loss of fuel economy or
driveability and performance problems due
to
the use of one of these fuel blends, we
recommend
that you switch to unblended
fuel.
Gasoline additives
A major concern among many auto manufactur­
ers
is carbon deposit build-up caused by the type
of gasoline
you use .
Although 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 vital 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
fuels, carbon deposit build-ups can rob your en­
gine of peak performance.
CD Note
Damage or malfunction due to poor fuel qual­
ity
is not covered by the Audi New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

Refueling
Fuel filler neck
The fuel filler neck is located on the right rear
side panel behind
the fuel filler flap.
If the power locking system should fail, you can
still open
the flap manually -for detailed instruc­
tions see
~page 235.
You can find the fuel tank capacity of your vehicle
in ~page 299.
The label on the inside of the fuel filler flap tells
you
the correct fuel for your vehicle. For more in­
formation about fuel specifications, see
~page 231.
Your vehicle fuel tank has an on board refuelling
vapor recovery system. This feature helps to pre­
vent fuel vapors from escaping from
the tank and
polluting
the environment while you refuel your
vehicle .
In order to fill the tank properly while
protecting
the environment, please follow this
refueling procedure carefully.
.&. WARNING
Under normal operating conditions, never car­
ry additional fuel containers in your car. Gas
canisters 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 collision. 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 F8S2 -86).
{[) Note
Never drive your vehicle until the fuel tank is
completely empty. The irregular supply
of
fuel can cause misfiring. Gasoline could enter
the exhaust system and damage the catalytic
converter.

The fuel filler door is unlocked or locked by the
central locking system.
.. Press on the fuel filler door to open -arrow-
Q fig. 177. Your vehicle comes with a new tank
system without a cap.
.. Insert the fuel pump nozzle all the way into the
tankfiller neck ~fig. 178. Make sure it is cor ­
rectly locked
in place.
.. Begin fueling. Once the pump nozzle switches
off, the fuel tank is "full" . Do not fill the tank
more. Otherwise the expansion space in the
tank will be filled .
.. Pull the pump nozzle out of the tank filler neck
five
seconds after i t has switched off, so that
the rest of the fuel can flow out of the pump
nozzle into the filler neck.
.. Close fuel filler door until it latches.

the Technical Data section Qpage 299.
Checking and Filling
.&. WARNING
Not paying attention when fueling or han­
dling fuel incorrectly can lead to fires, explo­
sions or serious injuries.
- Fuel igni
tes easily and can cause serious
burns and other injuries .
-
-If you do not switch the engine off when fu­
eling and/or do not insert the fuel nozzle
completely into the tank opening, fuel can
leak
out or run over . Leaked fuel can ignite
and start a fire.
-
Do not use the telephone while fueling . The
electromagnetic rays can cause sparks,
which can ignite fuel vapors and start a fire.
-
Do not sit in your vehicle while fueling. If
you must make an exception and enter your
vehicl e again while fueling, close the door
and touch metal to discharge static electric­
ity
before touching the fuel nozzle . Static
electricity can create sparks, which can ig­
nite vapors when fueling.
-
Do not smoke or have an open f lame in the
area when fueling your vehicle or filling a
fuel container because this increases the
risk of an explosion .
- For
your safety, carrying fuel containers in
your vehicle is not recommended. Whether
full or empty, the container can leak and
cause a fire in the event of an accident .
-
If you must make an exception and trans­
port a fuel container, note the following :
- Never fill
the fuel container with fuel
while it is in or on the vehicle . Static elec­
tricity is discharged when filling which can
cause the fuel vapors to ignite and in­
creases the risk of an exp losion .
-Always place a fuel container on the
ground before filling .
- Always hold
the fuel nozzle completely in
the fuel container when filling .
-
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

Catalytic converter
It is very important that your emission control
system (catalytic converter) is functioning prop­
erly to ensure
that your vehicle is running in on
environmentally sound manner.
.,.. Always use lead-free gasoline Q page 231, Gas­
oline grade .
.. Never run the tank down all the way to empty.
.. Never put too m uch motor oil in your engine
Q page 240, Adding engine oil "t::r..
.. Never try to push-or tow-start your vehicle.
The
catal ytic converter is an efficient "clean-up"
device built into the exhaust system of the vehi­
cle. The catalytic
converter burns many of the
pollutants in the exhaust gas before they are re­
leased into
the atmosphere .
Checking and Filling
The exclusive use of unleaded fuel is critically im­
portant for the life of the catalytic converter and
proper functioning of the engine.
A WARNING
f= - I
The temperature of the exhaust system is
high, both when driving and after stopping
the engine.
- Never
touch the exhaust tail pipes once they
have become hot. This could result in burns.
-Do not park or operate the vehicle in a reas
where the hot exhaust system may come in
contact with dry grass, brush, fuel spill or
other material which can cause a fire .
-
Do not appl y additional undercoating or
r ustproofing on or near the exhaust mani­
fold, exhau
st pipes, catalytic converter or
heat shields. During driving, the substance
used for un dercoating could overheat and
cause a fire.
CD Note
-Be aware that just one tank filli ng with
leaded fuel w ill already seriously degrade
the performance of th e c atalytic converter .
-
Do not exceed the correct engine oil leve l
Qpoge240 .
-Do not drive until the fuel tank becomes
completely empty. The engi ne could mis­
fire. Unbu r
ned fuel coul d also get into the
exhaust system and this could cause the
ca ta lyt ic co nver ter to overheat.
-Do not swi tch off the ignition whil e the vehi ­
cl e is moving .
-
Do not continue to operate your vehi cle un­
der these condi tions, as o therwise fuel c a n

Checking the engine coolant level
""Park your vehicle on a level surface.
"" switch the ignition off.
.. Read the coolant level on the coolant expansion
tank
Q page 238, fig. 184. The coolant level
must be between the markings when the en­
gine
in cold. When the engine is warm it can be
slightly above
the upper marking.
Adding coolant
Requirement: there must be a res idual amount of
coo l
ant in the expans io n tank c:?(i) .
""Let the engine cool down.
.. Place a cloth over the coolant expansion tank
cap and unscrew
the cap counterclockwise
c:?,8..
""Add coolant mixed in the correct ratio
i:?page 242 up to the upper marking.
""Make sure that the fluid level remains stable.
Add more coolant if necessary.
"" Close the cap securely .
A coolant loss suggests a leak. Immediately drive
your vehicle
to an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized
Audi Service Facility and have the cool­
ing system inspected.
If the cooling system is not
leaking, a loss can come from
the coolant boiling
through overheating and being pushed
out of the
cooling system.
.&. WARNING
-The cooling system is pressurized and can be-
come very hot.
To reduce the risk of burns
from hot coolant:
-
Do not open the coolant expansion tank cap
w ith
the engine hot. There is a risk of burns .
- Stop
the engine and allow it to cool.
-
Protect your face, hands and arms from es-
caping coolant and
steam by covering the
coolant tank cap with a large, thick cloth.
- Turn
the coolant tank cap counterclockwise
slowly and keep light pressure on
the cap.
-
To reduce the risk of burns, do not allow any
antifreeze or coolant to dr
ip onto the ex-
Checking and Filling
ha ust system or hot engine components.
The ethylene glycol in engine coolant can
catch fire under certain circumstances.
- The coolant additive and the coolant can be
dangerous to your health.
For this reason,
keep
the coolant in the original container
away from children. There is a
risk of poi­
soning.
-When working in the engine compartment,
remember
that the radiator fan can switch
on even if
the ignition is switched off, which
increases
the risk of personal injury.
CD Note
Do not add coolant if the expans ion tank is
empty . Air could enter the cooling system and
damage
the eng ine. If this is the case, do not
continu e driving. See an authorized
Audi dea l­
er or authorized
Audi Service Facility for assis­
tance.
Radiator fan
The radiator fan switches on automatically by it­
self.
An auxiliary electric radiator fan switches on and
off depending on coolant temperature and other
vehicle operating conditions.
After you switch
the engine off, the auxiliary fan
can continue running for
up to 10 minutes -even
with
the ignit ion off. It can even switch on again
later by itself c:? & . if
- the temperature of
the engine coolant rises due
to
the heat build-up from the engine in the en­
gine compartment, or
-
the engi ne compartment heats up because the
vehicle is parked in intense sunlight.
.&. WARNING
-To reduce the risk of personal injury never
touch
the radiator fan.
- The auxiliary electric fan
is temperature
controlled and can switch on suddenly even
when
the engine is not running.

certain temperature and will continue to run
until the coolant temperature drops.
Brake fluid
Checking brake fluid level
Fig. 188 Engine compartment: cover on the brake fluid
reservoir
Before you check anything in the engine compart­
ment, always read and heed all WARNINGS
¢page 236.
~ Read the brake fluid level from the brake fluid
reservo ir ¢ fig. 188, ¢page 238, fig. 184. The
brake fluid level must be between the "MIN"
and "MAX" markings.
The location
of the brake fluid reservoir can be
seen in the engine compartment illustration
¢page238.
The fluid level may drop slightly after some time
due to the automatic adjustment of the brake
pads. This is not cause for alarm.
If the brake fluid level falls considerably below
the "MIN" mark, the brake warning/indicator
light .. (U.S. models) I. (Canadian models)
will come on ¢ page 11. Do not continue to oper­
ate the vehicle. The complete brake system
should be thoroughly checked by an authorized
Audi dealer or other qualified facility and the
cause corrected. Ifthe brake fluid level is too
low, the brake warning/indicator light will illumi­
nate. Contact an authorized Audi dealer immedi­
ately.
244
Changing brake fluid
Have the brake fluid changed by an experienced
technician .
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air. If the
water content in the brake fluid is too high, cor­
rosion in
the brake system may result after ape­
riod of time. The boiling point of the brake fluid
will
also decrease considerably and decrease
braking performance.
Therefore, the brake fluid must be changed every
two years. Always use new brake fluid which con­
forms to Federal Motor Vehicle Standard "FMVSS
116 DOT 4".
The brake fluid reservoir can be difficult to reach,
therefore, we recommend that you have the
brake fluid changed by your authorized Audi
dealer. Your dealer has the correct tools, the
right brake fluid and the know-how to do this for
you.
8._ WARNING
- Brake fluid is poisonous. It must be stored
only in the closed original container out of
the reach of children!
-Brake failure can result from old or inappro­
priate brake fluid. Observe these precau­
tions:
-Use only brake fluid that meets SAE speci­
fication
J 1703 and conforms to Federal
Motor Vehicle Standard 116. Always check
with
your authorized Audi dealer to make
sure you are using the correct brake fluid.
The
correct type of brake f lui d is also ind i­
cated on the brake fluid reservoir .
- The
brake fluid must be new. Heavy use of
the brakes can cause a vapor lock if the
brake fluid is left in the system too long.
This
can seriously affect the efficiency of
the brakes as well as your safety. This
could
result in an accident.
CD Note
Brake flu id will damage the paint of your veh i-
cle .
