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 .
