(D only functions when the ignition is
switched on. To prevent engine damage, p lease
observe the following notes about the tempera­
ture ranges.
Cold rang e
If o nly the L EDs in the left area of the gauge turn
on, the engine has not reached operating tem­
perature yet. Avoid high engine speeds, full ac­
celerating and heavy engine loads .
Normal range
The engine has reached its operating tempera­
ture once the LEDs up to the center of the gauge
turn on . If the . indicator light in the Infotain­
ment system display turns on, the coolant tem­
perature is too high

(D Note
-Aux iliary head lights and other accessories in
front of the coo ling-a ir intake impa ir the
cooling effect o f the coolant. This increases
the risk of the engine overheating during high outside temperatures and heavy en ­
gine load.
- T he front spoiler a lso helps to distribute
cooling air correctly while driving . If the
spoiler is damaged, the cooling effect will
be impaired and the risk of the eng ine over­
heating w ill increase. See an authorized
Audi dealer or author ized Audi Service Fa­
cility for assistance .
Fuel level
The indicator @ only func tions when the ignition
i s sw itched on. If the fuel level drops below 1.9
gal (7
L), a red LED wi ll light up and the rD indi­
cator light will turn on
c:> page 16 . The LED
blinks red when the fuel level is very low.

-If you are unable to determine whether or
not a particular fuel blend meets the speci­
ficat ions, ask your service station or its fuel
supplier.
- Do not use fuel for which the contents can­
not be identified.
- Fuel system damage and performance prob­
lems resulting from the use of fue ls diffe r­
ent from those specified are not the respon­
s ibility of Audi and are not covered under
the New Veh icle or the Emiss ion Control
System Warrant ies .
- If you experience a loss of fue l economy or
driveability and pe rformance problems due
to the use of one of these fuel blends, we r ecommend that you switch to unblended
fuel.
Gasoline additives
A ma jor concern among many auto manufactur­
ers is carbon deposit build-up ca used by the type
of gasoline yo u use.
A lt hough gasoline grades d iffer from one manu ­
facturer to another, they have cer tain things in
common . A ll gasoline grades contain substances
that can cause deposits to collect on vita l engine
parts, such as fue l injectors and intake valves. Al­
though most gasoline brands include additives to
keep engine and fuel systems clean, they are not
equally effective .
Aud i recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas­
oline. For more informat ion on TOP TIER Dete r­
gent Gasoline, please go to the official website
(www.toptiergas .com) .
After an extended period of using inadequate
fuels, carbon deposit build-ups can rob your en­
g ine of peak performance.
CD Note
Damage or malfunction due to poor fuel q ual­
ity is not covered by the Aud i New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

Fig . 183 Engaged f uel pu mp noz zle
The fuel filler door is unlocked or locked by the
central locking system .
• Press on the fue l filler door to open
-arrow- ~fig.182. Your vehicle comes with a
new tank system witho ut a cap.
• Inse rt the fuel pump nozz le all the way into the
tank fi ller neck
~ fig . 183. Make sure it is cor­
rectly locked in place.
• Begin fueling. Once the pump no zzle switches
off, the fuel tank is "full" . Do no t fill the tank
more . Otherwise the expansion space in the
tank w ill be filled .
• Pu ll the pump nozz le out of the tank filler neck
five seconds after it has switched off, so that
the rest of the f uel can flow o ut of the pump
nozzle into the filler neck .
• Close fuel filler door until it latches.

A WARNING
Fuel ignites easily and can cause serious burns
and other injuries.
- Do not smoke or have an open flame in the
area whe n fueling your vehicle or filling a
fuel conta iner because this increases the
risk of an explosion .
- Follow legal requirements when using, stor­
ing a nd transporting fuel containers .
- For safety reasons, we recommend not car­
rying fuel containers. The conta iner could be
damaged in an accident and leak fuel.
- If you must transport fuel in a fuel contain­
er, note the following:
- Never fill the fuel container with fue l
while it is in or on the vehicle. Static e lec ­
tricity is discharged when fi lling which can
cause the fuel vapors to ignite and in­
creases the risk of an exp losion. A lways
place the conta iner on the ground when
fill ing it .
- The fuel pump nozzle must be inserted as
far as possible into the filler opening on
the fuel container .
- If the fuel container is made of metal, the
fuel nozzle must always be in contact with
the container when filling it with f uel. Th is
prevents static electricity from discharg­
ing .
-Never spill fuel in the vehicle or the l ug­
gage compartment. Evaporated fuel is ex­
plosive and increases the ris k of se rious in­
ju ry o r dea th .
(D Note
- Remove spilled fue l from veh icle pa int im­
media tely, because it ca n damage paint .
- Never drive unt il the fuel tank is completely
empty . The irregular supply of fue l that re­
sults from that can cause eng ine misfires.
Uncombus ted fuel will ente r the exh aus t
system and increase the risk of damage to
the cata lytic converter.
@) For the sake of the environment
Do not overfill the fuel tan k, otherwise f uel
can leak o ut when the veh icle is warming up.
