Checking and Filling
Fuel
Gasoline grade
The correct gasoline grade is stated on the inside
of the fuel filler door .
The vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter
and must only be driven w ith
unleaded gasoline .
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas
oline. Additional information on TOP TIER Deter
gent Gasoline can be found on the offic ial web
site (www .toptiergas.com) .
The individua l gasoline grades are differentiated
by
octane ratings . This value is given with (R +M)/
2 equating to AKI or in RON.
The fo llow ing headings match the correspond ing
sticker in the fue l filler door.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY MIN. (R+M) /2 87
Regula r/ MIN. RON
91 Regular
Use regu la r gaso line with minim um 87 AKI/
91
RON ~ 0 .
The max imum eng ine powe r is only reached if
p rem ium gaso line 91 A KI/ 95 RON is used.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY PREMIUM MIN . (R
+M)/2
91 / SUPER MIN. RON 95
Using premium gasoline with m inim um 91 AKI/
95 RON is recommende d.
If premium gasoline is not available, you can also
use reg ula r gaso line 87 A KI/ 91 RON . Howeve r
this does reduce t he e ngine powe r slight ly.
(D Note
- Fill ing the tank just one time with leaded
fuel or other meta llic additives will cause
permanent de te riorat io n to the catalyt ic
conve rter func tion.
- Whe n gasol ine with an oc tane r ati ng that is
too low is used, high speeds o r heavy engi ne
l o ad can lead to engi ne d amage.

(D Tips
The vehicle may be filled with fuel that has a
h igher octane rating than what is requi red by
the eng ine.
Blended gasoline
Use of gasoline containing alcohol or MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether)
You may use unleaded gasoline blended with al
cohol o r MT BE (commonly referred to as oxygen
ates) if the blended m ix tu re meets t he fo llow ing
c rit er ia:
Blend of gasoline m ethano l (wood alcohol or
methyl alcohol)
- Anti-knock index must be 87 AKI or h igher.
- Blend must contain no more than 3% metha-
nol.
- Blend must contain more tha n 2% co-solvents.
Blend of gasoline and ethanol (grain alcohol or
ethyl alcohol)
- Anti-k noc k index mus t be 87 AK I or higher.
- Blend must not conta in mo re than 15% etha-
nol.
Blend of gasoline and MTBE
- Anti -knock index must be 87 AKI or higher.
- Blend mus t contain no t mo re than 15% MT BE.
Seasonally adjusted gasoline
Many gasoline grades are blended to perform es
pecially well for w inter or s umme r dr iv ing . Dur

Operating your vehicle
outside the U.S.A. or
Canada
Government reg ulations in the Un ited States and
Canada require that automobiles meet specific
emission regulations and safety standards.
Therefore, vehicles built for the U .S.A. and Cana
da differ from vehicles sold in other countries.
I f you p lan to take your vehicle outside the conti
nenta l limits of the United States or Canada,
there is the poss ibility that:
- u nleaded fue ls for vehicles with cata lytic con
verter may not be available;
- fuel may have a considerably lower octane rat
i ng. Imprope r fuel may ca use engine damage;
- service may be inadequate due to lack of p roper
service facilities, tools or testing eq uipment;
- r eplacement parts may not be readily ava ilable.
- Navigation systems for veh icles built for the
U .S .A . and Canada will not necessa rily work in
E urope, and may not wo rk in other countries
outside No rth Ame rica.
