tom LED blinks red when the fuel level is very
low.
The
fuel tank capacity of your vehicle is listed in
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.
Indicator Lights
Description
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
blink or turn on. They indicate functions or mal­
functions.
Wit h some ind icator lights, messages may ap­
pear and warning signals may sound. The indica ­
tor lights and messages in the display can be cov­
ered by other displays. To show them again, se­
lect the tab for the indicator lights and messages
using the multifunction steering wheel
¢page 19. If there are several malfunctions,
you can display them one at a time using the
thumbwheel.
Some indicators lights in the display can turn on
in several colors.
Overview
Some indicator lights turn on briefly as a function
check when you switch the ignition on. These sys­
tems are marked with a./ in the following tables.

On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 4 Locat ion of Data Link Connector (DLC)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the components
of your emission control system. Each monitored
component in your engine system has been as­
signed a code. In case of a malfunction, the com-
18
ponent will be identified and the fault stored as a
code in the control module memory.
The MIL light may also illum inate if there is a
l
eak in the on-boar d fuel vapor recovery system.
If the light illuminates after a refuelling, stop
the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler cap is
properly closed c:> page 233.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stor­
ed data can only be displayed using special d iag­
nostic equipment (generic scan tool for OBD).
In order to connect the special diagnostic equip­
ment, push the plug into the Data Link Connector
(DLC). The DLC is located to the right of the hood
release c:> fig. 4.
Your authorized Audi dealer or a qualified service
station can interpret the code and perform the
necessary repair.
11. WARNING
Do not use the diagnostic connector for per­
sonal use. Incorrect usage can cause malfunc­
tions, which can increase the risk of a colli­
sion!

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Roof rack
The roof rack must only be secured in the posi­
tioning
bolt area.
Fig. 5 0 Mounting locations for roof rack
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roo f,
you
must observe the following:
- Your vehicle
has aerodynamic rain channels
molded into the roof. This is why conventional
roof luggage racks cannot be used. We recom ­
mend using roof rails from the Audi original ac­
cessories
program.
- These roof rails are the basis for a complete
roof rack system. For safety reasons, some ad­
ditional attachments are necessary to transport
luggage, bicycles, surf boards, skis and small
boats safely. All these components are availa­
ble at your authorized Audi dealer.
-The permitted roof load for your vehicle is 165
lbs (75 kg). The roof load is a combination of
the weight of the carrier system and the cargo.
-
When using roof rack systems with a lower load
capacity, you cannot use the maximum permis­
s ible
roof load. In this case, the roof rack can
only be
loaded to the weight limit give n in the
installation guide.
Installation
When installing the support feet, make sure they
are only placed in the positioning bolt area be­
tween the side wall frame and the roof frame
trim ~fig. 50. The positioning bolt is visible as
soon as you push the sealing lip back from the
room frame trim using the designated tool.
Seats and storage
A WARNING
iu=
-The cargo must be securely attached on the
roof rack, otherwise you increase the risk of
an accident.
-
You must under no circumstances exceed
the permissible roof load, the permissible
axle
loads and the permissible overall
weight of your vehicle because this increas­
es the risk of an accident.
-
Please note that there is a higher risk of col­
lision
when transporting heavy objects or
objects with a large surface on the roof rack,
since the handling characteristics
change
due to a shift in the center of gravity or the
g reater surface area exposed to the wind. So
adapt your driving and speed to the actual
conditions.
If you use other roof luggage rack systems or
do not install the racks as intended, any dam­
age to the vehicle is not covered by the war­
ranty. Carefully follow the assembly and in­
stallation instructions included with the roof
rack carrier system.
¢!/) For the sake of the environment
A
roof rack is often left mounted out of con­
venience even if
it is no longer used. Your ve­
hicle will use
more fuel due to the increased
wind
resistance. So remove the roof rack after
us ing it.

-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.

Fueling procedure
Fig. 177 Right re ar vehicle side: opening the fuel filler
door
Fig. 178 Engaged fuel pump nozzle
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 correct fuel type for your vehicle can be
found on a label located on the inside of the fuel
filler door. For additional information on fuel re-'
fer to ¢page231.
The fuel tank capacity of your vehicle is listed in
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

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.

function of the emission control system
and could lead to damage.
@ For the sake of the environment
Even when the Emission Control System is op­
erating properly, the exhaust gas can have a
sulfur-like
exhaust gas smell under some op­
erating states. This depends on the sulfur
content of the fuel being used. Using a differ­
ent brand of fuel may help, or filling the tank
with lead-free super grade gasoline.
Engine compartment
Working in the engine compartment
Special care is required if you are working in the
engine compartment
For work in the engine compartment such as
checking and filling fluids, there is a risk of in­
jury, scald ing , accidents, and burns. For this
reason, follow all the following listed warnings
and general safety precautions. The engine
compartment is a dangerous area. ~ & .
I'
A WARNING
-Turn the engine off.
-switch the ignition off.
-
Set the parking brake.
-
Place the selector lever in the P position.
- Let
the engine cool down.
- Never
open the hood when you see that
steam or coolant drips from the engine
compartment-there is a danger of burns!
Wait unti l no steam or coolant flows out.
- Keep children away from the engine com­
partment.
- Never spill fluids on a hot engine. These flu­
ids (such
as the freeze protection contained
in the coolant) can catch fire.
- Avoid
short circuits in the electrical system,
especially the battery.
-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.
236
- Never open the cap on the coolant expan­
sion
tank when the engine is warm. The
cooling
system is under pressure.
-To protect your face, hands, and arms from
hot steam or coolant, cover the cap with a
large cloth when opening.
-Do not remove the engine cover under any
circumstances. This increases the risk of
burns.
-
If tests need to be performed with the en­
gine running, there is additional danger due
to moving components (such as the ribbed
belt, alternator and radiator fan) and from
the high voltage ignition system.
-Do not under any circumstances give gas in­
advertently (for example, by hand from the
engine compartment) if the vehicle is sta­
tionary but the engine is running and a gear
is engaged. Otherwise the veh icle will start
to move immediately and could result in a
crash.
-
Pay attention to the following warnings list­
ed when work on the fuel system or on the
electrical equipment is required.
- Always
disconnect the vehicle battery
from the vehicle electrical system.
-Do not smoke.
-Never work near open flames.
-Always have a working fire extinguisher
nearby
- To reduce
the risk of electric shock and in­
jury, never
touch the follow ing components
when t he engine is running or is being start­
ed:
- Ignition cable
-
Other components in the electronic high
voltage ignition system
-If you must check or perform work on the
engine while it is running:
-
Set the parking brake and place the selec­
tor lever in the P (park) position first.
- Always
proceed with extreme caution so
that clothing, jewelry or long hair do not
become caught in the radiator fan, fan
belt or other moving components or do
not come into contact with hot compo-
nents. Tie back long hair before beginning .,..
