Static  electricity  can  cause  sparks  that  can ignite  fuel  vapors  released  during  refueling. 
- Never  smoke  or  have  an  open  flame  any
where  in or  near  your  vehicle  when  refueling  or filling  a  portable  fuel  container. 
- For your  safety,  we  strongly  recommend 
that  you  do  not  travel  with  a  portable  fuel 
container  in your  vehicle.  The  container,  full 
or empty  may  leak  and  could  cause  a fire, 
especially  in a  crash. 
- If,  under  exceptional  circumstances,  you 
must  transport  a  portable  fuel  container, 
please  observe  the follow ing : 
- Never  fill  a portable  fuel container  while  it 
is anywhere  in or  on the  vehicle  (for  exam
ple,  in the  luggage compartment,  or  on 
the  trunk) . Static  electricity  can  build  up 
while  filling  and  can  ignite  fuel  vapors  causing  a fire . 
- Always  p lace  a  portable  fuel  container  on 
the  ground  before  filling. 
- Always  keep  the  filler  nozzle  completely 
ins ide  the  portable  container  before  and 
during  filling. 
- If  filling  a  portable  container  made  of 
metal,  the  filler  nozzle  must  always  be  in 
contact  with  the  container . This  will  help 
prevent  static  electric ity from  discharg ing 
and  cause  a fire . 
- Never  spill  fuel  inside  the  vehicle  or  lug
gage  compartment . Fuel  vapors  are  h ighly 
flammab le. 
-Always  observe local and  state/provincial 
laws  regarding  the  use,  storage  and  trans
portation  of fuel  containers. 
- Make certa in the  fuel  co nta iner  meets  in
dustry  standards  (ANSI/ ASTM F852 -86) . 
(D Note 
If  any fuel  has  spilled  onto  the  car,  it  should 
be  removed  immediately  to  prevent  damage 
to  the  paint . 
@ For the  sake of the  environment 
As soon  as  the  correctly  operated  nozzle  sw itches  off  automatically  for  the  first  time, 
the  tank  is  full. Do not  try  to  add  more  fuel 
Fuel  and Refueling 
because  fuel  may  spill out.  In  addition,  the 
expansion  space  in the  fuel  tank  will  be filled  -
causing  the  fue l to  overflow  when  it  becomes 
warm  and  pollute  the  environment. 
@ Tips 
- Running  your  engine  while  refuelling  may 
cause  vapors  to  escape  or  even  cause  fuel  to 
spill  out  of  the  tank.  This  would  then  shut 
off  the  fuel  nozzle  before  the  tank  is full. 
- Do not  refuel  your  vehicle  with  the  ignition 
turned  on.  The fuel  gauge  may  otherwise  not  indicate  the  correct  fuel  level after  refu
elling . 
- Diesel  vehicles*  are  equipped  with  a  diesel 
m isfueling  protector . It  allows  the  vehicle 
to  be  fueled  only  with  a  diesel fuel  pump 
nozzle.  A worn  or  damaged  nozzle  or  a  noz
zle  that  is  too small  may  not be able  to  open 
the  diesel  misfueling  protector. 
If this  is the 
case,  try  turning  the nozzle  before  inserting 
it  in  the  fuel  filler  neck,  use  a  different  fuel 
pump  or  see  your  authorized  Audi  dealer or 
authorized  repair facility  for  assistance. 
- The fuel  filler  flap  of your  vehicle  is not 
locked  when  you  lock the  vehicle  from  the 
inside. 
Unlocking the  fuel  filler  flap 
by hand 
You can  open  the  fuel  filler  flap  by hand  if  the 
power  locking  system  should  fail.
