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>

Warranty coverages
Your Audi is co vered by the following warran
ties:
- New Vehicle Limited Warranty
-Limited Warranty Against Corrosion Perfora-
tion
-Emissions Control System Warranty
-Emissions Performance Warranty
-California Emissions Control Warranty (USA
vehicles only)
-
California Emissions Performance Warranty
(USA vehicles only)
Detailed information regarding your warranties
can be found in your Warranty & Maintenance
booklet.
Operating your vehicle
outside the U.S.A. or
Canada
Government regulations in the United States and
Canada require that automobiles meet specific
emission regulations and safety standards.
Therefore, vehicles built for the U.S.A. and Cana
da differ from vehicles sold in other countries.
If you plan to take your vehicle outside the conti
nental limits of the United States or Canada,
there is the possi bility that:
- unleaded fuels for vehicles with catalytic con
verter may not be available;
- f
uel may have a considerably lower octane rat
ing. Improper fuel may cause engine damage;
-ser vice may be inadequate due to lack of proper
service facilities, tools or testing equipment;
-replacement parts may not be readily available.
-Navigation systems for vehicles built for the
U.S.A. and Canada will not necessarily work in
Europe , and may not work in other countries
outside North America.

Audi cannot be responsible for mechanical
damage that could result from inadequate
fuel, service or parts availability.

Maintenance
General
Your vehicle has been designed to help keep
maintenance requirements to a minimum. How
ever, a
certain amount of regular maintenance is
still necessary to assure your vehicle's safety,
economy and reliability. For detailed vehicle
maintenance consult your Warranty & Mainte
nance booklet.
Under difficult operating conditions, for exam
ple
at extremely low outside temperatures, in
very dusty regions, etc., some service work
should be performed between the intervals speci
fied. This
applies particularly to:
- oil
changes, and
- cleaning or replac ing the a ir filte r.
~ For the sake of the environment
By reg ularly maintaining your vehicle, you
help
make sure that emission standards are
maintained, thus minimizing adverse effects
on the environment.
Important considerations for you and your
vehicle
The increasing use of electronics, sophisticated
fuel injec tion and emission control systems, and
the generally increasing technical complexity of
today's automobiles, have steadily reduced the ~
