the Technical Data section¢ page 299.
0 Note
Never drive until the tank is completely emp­
ty.
The irregular suppl y of fuel that results
from that can cause engine misfi res. Uncom­
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys­
tem. Th is can cause overheating and damage
to the catalytic converter.

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.
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.

explos ive and increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
- Follow legal requirements when using,
storing and transporting fuel containers.
-Make sure the fuel container conforms to
industry standards (ANSI/ASTM F852-86).
CD Note
- Remove any overflowing fuel from the vehi­
cle
paint immediately.
- Never drive
until the fuel tank is completely
empty. The irregular supply of fuel that re­
sults from that can cause engine misfires.
Uncombusted
fuel will enter the exha ust
system and increase the risk of damage to
the catalytic converter.
@ For the sake of the environment
If the fuel nozzle is used correctly, it will indi­
cate that the tank is full the first time it
switches off automatically. Do not try to add
more fuel, because it can spill over. Also, the
expansion space in the tank will fill, which can
result in fuel spilling out when it becomes
warm and polluting the environment.
Tips
If adverse weather conditions cause the fuel
filler door to freeze shut, press on the center
of the filler door with the heel of your hand
and then try opening it again.
(0 Tips
-If the engine is running while fueling, va­
pors
can escape or the fuel can spill over.
Because
of this, the fuel nozzle switches off
before the tank is full.
-
Do not fuel the vehicle when the ignition is
switched on. Otherwise, the fuel gauge may
not show the correct level after fueling the
vehicle.
- Your vehicle
is equipped with a misfueling
guard.
It allows the vehicle to be fueled on­
ly with the correct fuel pump nozzle.
- A worn
or damaged nozzle or a nozzle that
is too small may not be able to open the
diesel misfueling protector. If this is the
234
case, try turning the nozzle before inserting
it in the fuel filler neck, use a different fuel
pump or see an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility for assis­
tance.
-The misfueling guard does not open when
adding fuel from a fuel container. When re­
fueling with a reserve canister, you
must
use the funnel stored in the luggage com­
partment qpoge 234, fig. 179.

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
reach the catalytic converter. This could re­
sult in over heating of the converter, requir­
ing
its replacement .
