Filling AdBlue
Applies to: vehicles with selective catalytic reduction
Fig. 192 Right rear side of the vehicle : remov ing the AdBl­
ue cap
The Ad Blue tank opening is located nea r the die­
sel tank open ing. Add at least 1 gallon (3.8 lit­
e rs) of Ad Blue. This is the minimum amount re­
quired to ensure the system detects the refilling
and to start the engine. You can fill a maximum
of 6 gallons (23 liters) .
Requirement: the request to add Ad Blue must
appear in the instrument cluster display.
• Switch the ignition off.
• Open the tank fi ller door ¢
page 212.
• Turn the cap on the filler neck counter-clock­
wise using the whee l wrench from the vehicle
tool kit to remove it¢
fig . 192.
• Fill the Ad Blue using a bottle¢ page 215 or a
canister
c> page 216.
A WARNING
Ad Blue can irr itate the skin, eyes and resp ira­
tory system. If there is contact with the fluid,
flush immediately with plen ty of wate r. Con­
sult a physician if necessary.
CD Note
- Only use Ad Blue that conforms to the
standard ISO 22241-1. Do not mix any addi­
tives w ith the Ad Blue and do not d ilute it
with water.
- Do not add Ad B lue to the diesel tank or add
diesel fuel to the Ad Blue tank. Do not start
the engine under any circumstances if the
wrong fuel is filled in the tank. There is a
risk of damaging the fuel tank system and
Fue l an d Re fuelin g
the engine . See an authorized Audi dea ler or
authorized Audi Service Facility for assis­
tance.
- Ad Blue attacks surfaces such as painted ve­
hicle components, p lastic and carpet. Re­
move the fluid as quickly as possible with a
damp cloth and plenty of cold water . If the
Ad Blue has already crystallized, use warm
water and a sponge. Ad Blue residue that is not removed w ill crystallize and can damage
the affected surface.
- Do not store refill bottles or canisters per­
manently in the vehicle . If the container
leaks, the escaping Ad Blue could damage
the vehicle interior.
- Do not al low Ad Blue to come into contact
w ith clothing.
If there is contact with the
fluid, flush immediately with plenty of wa­
ter.
© Tips
Fo llow the AdBl ue manufacturer's instruc­
tions for use and storage.

• Position the bottle on the filler tube and turn
the bottle clockwise until it stops turning.
• Press lightly against the bottom of the bottle
to empty it . Cont inue pressing the bottom of
the bottle until it is empty or until fluid stops
f low ing into the tank.
• Remove the bott le and seal the f iller neck

CD Note
Only use refill bottles that are approved for
your vehicle. Using other systems can cause AdB lue to leak.

Closing the filler neck
... Turn the cap on the filler neck to the right w ith
the wheel w rench until the cap clicks into place .
This tightens the cap to the specification ~

AdBlue on page 215 .
... Then press on the left side of the tank door un-
til it latches.
After filling
The vehicle must be driven so that the system
recognizes that the Ad Blue was refilled. This can
take several minutes .
.., If there was no AdB lue left in the tank and a
range of
O mi (0 km ) was shown in the display,
sw itch the ignition on for about 30 seconds be­
fore starting the engine .
(D Tips
Ad Blue can freeze at very low temperatures.
If this happens, the system will not detect
that the Ad B lue was refilled and it will contin­
ue to inform you of the low Ad Blue level. The
message turns off as soon as the tank thaws
out again.

Checking and Filling
-Always let the engine cool down. Hot com­
ponents will burn skin on contact .
- To reduce the risk of being burned, never
open the hood if you see or hear steam or
coolant escaping from the engine compart­
ment. Wait until no steam or coolant can be
seen or heard before carefully opening the
hood.
- Keep children away from the engine com­
partment.
- Never spill fluids on hot engine compo­
nents . They can cause a fire.
- Never touch the radiator fan. The auxiliary
electric fan is temperature controlled and
can switch on suddenly.
- Never open the coolant reservoir cap when
the engine is still warm. The coolant system
is pressurized and hot coolant could spray
out .
- Protect your face, hands and arm from steam or hot engine coolant by placing a
thick rag over the cap when you open the coolant reservoir.
- Do not remove the engine cover under any
circumstances . This increases the risk of
burns.
- If work on the fuel system or the electrical
system is necessary:
- Always disconnect the battery.
- Never smoke or work near heaters or open flames. Fluids in the engine compartment
could start a fire.
- Keep an approved fire extinguisher imme­
diately available.
- To avoid electrical shock and personal injury
while the engine is running or being started, never touch:
- Ignition cables
- Other components of the high voltage
electronic ignition system .
- If you must perform a check or repair with
the engine running:
- First, fully apply the parking brake, move
selector lever of automatic transmission
to P (Park).
218
- Always use extreme caution to prevent
clothing, jewelry, or long hair from get­
ting caught in the radiator fan, V-belts or
other moving parts, or from contacting hot parts . Tie back hair before starting,
and do not wear clothing that will hang or
droop into the engine.
- Minimize exposure to emission and chemi­
cal hazards

('.!) Note
When adding fluids, always make sure that
they are poured into the proper container or
filler opening, otherwise serious damage to
vehicle systems will occur.
@ For the sake of the environment

floor pan from underneath regularly . If you
see spots from oil or other vehicle fluids, have
your vehicle inspected by an authorized Audi dealer.

Driving with an insufficient oil leve l is likely to
cause severe damage to the engine .
@ Tips
-The oil pressure warning display. is not
an indicator of the oil level. Do not rely on
it. Instead , check the oil level in your en­
gine at regular intervals, preferably each
time you refuel, and always before going
on a long trip.
- If yo u have the impression your engine con ­
sumes excessive amounts of oil, we recom ­
men d that you cons ult an autho riz ed Au di
dealer to hav e the ca use of your conce rn
properly diagnosed. Keep in mind that the

tions about how to measure oil consump­
tion acc urately.

-The tire must flex more if the
tire pressure is too low or if
the vehicle speed or load are
too high . This heats the tire up
too much. This increases the risk of an accident because it
can cause the tire to burst and result in loss of vehicle con­
trol.
- Incorrect tire pressure in­
creases tire wear and has a negative effect on driving and

braking behavior, which in ­
creases the risk of an accident.
Replace lost valve caps to re­
duce the risk of damage to the

Tire pressure that is too low in­ creases fuel consumption.
Audi recommends using the
tire pressure specified for a
normal load

loaded .
Make sure that the tire designa­
tion on your tire matches the des­
