Child safety
A WARNING
f=
To reduce the risk of serious injury, make sure
that th e PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light
comes on and stays on whenever a child re­
straint is installed on the front passenger seat
and the ignit io n is switched on.
- Take
the child restra int off the front passen­
ger seat and install it prope rly at one of the
rear seat positions if the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF light does not stay on.

Booster seats and safety belts
Properly used booster seats can help protect
children weighing between about 40 lbs and
80 lbs (18 kg and 36 kg) who are less than 4 ft 9
in (57 in/1.45 m) tall.
Fig. 169 Rear seat; chil d properly restrained in a booster
seat
The vehicle's safety belts alone will not fit most
children until they are at least 4 ft 9 in (57 in/
1.45 m) tall and weigh about 80 lbs (36 kg).
Booster
seats raise these children up so that the
safety belt will pass properly over the stronger
parts of their bodies and the safety belt can help
protect them in a crash.
.. Do not use the convertible locking retractor
when using the vehicle's safety belt to restrain
a child on a
booster seat.
.. The shoulder belt must lie as close to the cen­
ter of the child's collar bone as possible and
must lie flat and snug on the upper body. It
must never lie across the throat or neck. The
lap
belt must lie across the pelvis and never
across
the stomach or abdomen. Make sure the
belt lies flat and snug. Pull on the belt to tight­
en if necessary .
.. Secure unused safety belts on the rear seat
~page 217.
Children up to at least 8 years old (over 40 lbs or
18 kg) are best protected in child safety seats de­
signed for their age and weight. Experts say that
the skeletal structure, particularly the pelvis, of
these children is not fully developed, and they
must not use the vehicle safety belts without a
suitable child restraint.
Child safety
It is usually best to put these children in appro­
priate booster seats. Be sure the booster seat
meets all applicable safety standards.
Booster seats raise the seating position of the
child and reposition both the lap and shoulder
parts of the safety belt so that they pass across
the child's body in the right places. The routing of
the belt over the child's body is very important
for the child's protection, whether or not a boos­
ter seat is used . Children age 12 and under must
always ride in the rear seat.
Never use the lap belt portion of the vehicle's
safety belt alone to restrain any child, regardless
of how big the child is. Always remember that
children do not have the pronounced pelvic struc­
ture required for the proper function of lap belt
portion of the vehicle's three point lap and
shoulder belts. The child's safety absolutely re­
quires
that a lap belt portion of the safety belt be
fastened snugly and as low as possible around
the pelvis. Never let the lap belt portion of the
safety belt pass over the child's stomach or abdo­
men.
In a crash, airbags must inflate within a blink of
an eye and with considerable force. In order to do
its job, the airbag needs room to inflate so that it
will be there to protect the occupant as the occu­
pant moves forward into the airbag .
A vehicle
occupant who is out of position and too
close to the airbag gets in the way of an inflating
airbag.
When an occupant is too close , he or she
will be struck violently and will receive serious or
possibly even fatal injury.
In
order for the airbag to offer protection, it is
important that all vehicle occupants, especially
any children,
who must be in the front seat be­
cause
of exceptional circumstances, be properly
restrained and as far away from the airbag as
possible. By keeping room between the child's
body
and the front of the passenger compart­
ment, the airbag can inflate completely and pro­
vide
supplemental protection in certain frontal
collisions .

Securing child seats
Securing a child safety seat using a safety
belt
Safety belts for the rear seats and the front pas­
senger can be Locked with the convertible Locking
retractor to properly secure child safety seats.
The safety belts emergency locking retractors for
the rear seats safety belts and for the front pas­
senger's seat safety belt have a convertible lock­
i ng
retractor for child restraints. The safety belt
must be locked so that belt webbing cannot un­
reel. The
retractor can be activated to lock the
safety belt and prevent the safety belt webbing
from loosening up during normal driving. A child
safety seat can only be properly installed when
Child safety
the safety belt is locked so that the chi ld and
child safety seat will stay in place .
Always

Fuel
Gasoline grade
The correct gasoline grade is stated on the inside
of the fuel filler door.
The vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter
and must only be driven with unleaded gasoline.
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas­
oline. Additional information on TOP TIER Deter­
gent Gasoline can be found on the official web­
site (www.toptiergas.com).
The individual gasoline grades are differentiated
by octane ratings. This value is given with (R+M)/
2 equating to AKI or in RON.
The following headings match the corresponding
sticker in the fuel filler door.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY MIN. (R+M)/2 87
Regular I MIN. RON 91 Regular
Use regular gasoline with minimum 87 AKI I
91 RON ~CD.
The maximum engine power is only reached if
p r
emium gasoline 91AKII95 RON is used.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY PREMIUM MIN. (R
+M)/2 91 I SUPER MIN. RON 95
Using premium gasoline with minimum 91 AKI I
95 RON is recommended.
If premium gasoline is not available, you can also
use regular gasoline 87 AKI I 91 RON. However
this does reduce the engine power slightly.
CD Note
-Fill ing the tank just one time with leaded
fuel or other metallic additives will cause
permanent deterioration to the catalytic
converter function.
-When gasoline with an octane rating that is
too low is used, high speeds or heavy engine
load
can lead to engine damage.
Checking and Filling
{!) Tips
The vehicle can be filled with fuel that has a
higher octane rating than what is required by
the engine.
Blended gasoline
Use of gasoline containing alcohol or MTBE
(methyl tertiary butyl ether)
You may use unleaded gasoline blended with al­
cohol or MTBE (commonly referred to as oxygen­
ates) ifthe blended mixture meets the fo llowing
criteria:
Blend of gasoline methanol (wood alcohol or
methyl alcohol)
-Anti-knock index must be 87 AKI or higher.
- Blend must contain no more than 3% metha-
nol.
- Blend
must contain more than 2o/o co-solvents.
Blend of gasoline and ethanol (grain alcohol or
ethyl alcohol)
-Anti-knock index must be 87 AKI or higher.
- Blend must not contain more than 15% etha-
nol.
Blend of gasoline and MTBE
-Anti-knock index must be 87 AKI or higher.
- Blend must contain not more than 15% MTBE.
Seasonally adjusted gasoline
Many gasoline grades are blended to perform es­
pecially well for winter or summer driving . Dur­
ing
seasonal change-over, we suggest that you
fill
up at busy gas stations where the seasonal
adjustment is more likely to be made i n time.
CD Note
-Methanol fuels which do not meet these re­
quirements may cause corrosion and dam­
age to plastic and rubber components in the
fuel system.
-Do not use fuels that fail to meet the speci-
fied
crit eria in this chapter. ll>

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Checking and Filling
-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.

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
