Selective catalytic
reduction (AdBlue)
General information
Applies to: vehicles with selective catalytic reduct ion
In vehicles with selective catalytic reduction, a
urea solution (AdBlue) is injected into the ex
haust system before a nitrogen oxide cata lytic
converter to reduce nitrogen emissions.
The Ad Blue is carried in a separate tank in the ve hicle. The Ad B lue usage accounts for approxi
mately 1.0% to 2.5% of the diesel fuel that is
used.
When a message about refi lling the AdBlue ap
pears in the instrument cluster display, you must
ref ill the Ad B lue yourself or have it refilled by an
authorized Audi dealer or authori zed Audi Service
Facility
c> page 301.
(l} Tips
- The d isp lay indicates the distance rema ining
that can be driven¢
page 300. If the Ad Bl
ue tank is completely empty, the engine will
not start again after the ignition is switched
off .
- Ad Blue is required by law to operate th is ve
hicle.
Messages in the instrument cluster display
App lies to: vehicles with selective cata lytic reduction
The display indicates if the Ad Blue level is low or
if there is a system malfunction .
Ad Blue level low
You will be informed in the instrument cluster
display if the Ad Blue in the tank drops below a
certain level. Add at a minimum the amount of
Ad Blue shown in the message:
• Refill with at least x qt (l) Ad Blue . Range
x mi (km)
This message appears when there is only enough
AdBlue left to drive the distance indicated in the
instrument cluster. Fill the AdBlue.
• Refill with at least x qt (I) AdBlue . No en

Emissions control
systems
Catalytic converter
Applies to vehicles a with gasoli ne engine : the
vehicle may only be driven with unleaded gaso li ne, otherwise the cata lytic converter will be de
stroyed .
Never dr ive until the tank is complete ly empty.
The irregu lar supply of fuel that resu lts from that
can cause eng ine misfires. Uncombusted fue l will
enter the exhaust system, which can cause over
hea ting and damage to the cata lytic converter .
Diesel particulate filter
Applies to vehicle s with a diesel engine : the die
sel part icu late filter filters nearly all of the soot
particles out of the exhaust. The f ilter cleans it
self automatically under normal dr iv ing cond i
t ions .
If the filter cannot clean itself (fo r exam
ple, bec ause you are only d rivi ng short distan
c es), the filte r becomes clogged wi th soo t and
t h e
Cl indica to r li gh t for the diese l part icu late

A WARNING
The temperat ure of the exhaust system is
h igh, both when driv ing and after stopping
the eng ine.
-
- Never touch the exhaust tail pipes once they
have become hot. This cou ld res ult in burns.
- Do not park your veh icle over flammable
materials such as grass or leaves because
the high temperature of the emissions con trol system (catalytic converter or d iesel
pa rtic ulate filter) could start a fire.
- Do not app ly underbody protectant in the
exhaust system area , beca use this increases
the r isk of f ire.
