Selective catalytic reduction (AdBlue/DEF)
General information
Applies to: vehicles wit h selective catalytic reduct ion
In vehicles with selective catalytic reduction, a
urea solution (AdBlue/DE F) is injected into the
exhaust system in front of a nitrogen oxide cata­ l ytic converter to reduce nitrogen em issions. The
urea solution is known as Ad Blue or DEF (Diesel
Exhaust F lu id) . The informat ion that fo llows w ill
u se the name Ad B lue .
The Ad Blue is carried in a separate tank in the ve­
hicle. The Ad Blue usage accounts for approxi­
mately 1.0% to 4.0% of the diesel fuel that is
u sed .
When a message about refilling the AdBlue ap­ pears in the instrument cluster display, you must
refi ll the Ad B lue yourse lf or have it refilled by an

Emissions control
systems
Catalytic con verter
Applies to: vehicles with gasoline engines
T he vehicle may only be driven with un leaded
gasoline, otherwise the catalytic converter will be
destroyed.
Never drive until the tank is compl ete ly empty .
The irregu lar supply of fuel that resu lts from that
can cause eng ine misfires. Uncombusted fuel will
enter the exhaust system, which can cause over­
heating and damage to the catalytic converter .
Diesel particulate filt er
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engines
The diese l particu late filter filters near ly all of
the soot particles out of the exhaust. The filter
cleans itself automatically under norma l driving
condit ions. If the filter cannot clean itself (for ex­
ample, because you are only driving short distan ­
ces), the filter becomes clogged with soot and

The tempera ture of the exhaus t sys tem is
high, bot h when driv ing and a fter stoppi ng
the engine.
- Never tou ch the e xhaust tail pipes once they
have become hot. This cou ld res ult in burns .
- Do not par k your veh icle over flamm ab le
materia ls such as grass or leaves because
the high temperature of the emissions con­ trol system (catalytic converter or diesel particu late filter) cou ld start a fire.
- Do not app ly underbody protectant in the

-Close the eng ine oil filler opening cap.
- Close the hood, restart the ignit ion after two
m inutes and read the current o il level in the In ­
fotainment system.
&_ WARNING
- When adding oil, do not let oil dr ip onto hot
engine components. This inc reases the risk
of afire.
- You must secure the cap on the oil fi ller
open ing correctly so that oil does not leak
ou t onto the ho t engine and exhaust system
when the engine is running, beca use this is
a fire hazard .
- Always clean skin thoroughly if it comes into
contact with engine oil.
(D Note
-The engine o il level must not be under the
" min" marking, because this incre ases the
risk of engine damage.
- If the message
II Plea se redu ce oil lev el
appears, there is too much oil in the eng ine
and there is a risk of damaging the cata lytic
converter and engine. Do not start the en­
gine . Contact an authorized A udi dealer or
