Driving
Avoid full acc ele ra tion
You sho uld rare ly travel at the maximum vehicle
speed . High speeds cause a disp roportionately
high increase in fuel consumption, emissions and
traffic noise . Slower driving saves fuel.
Reduce idling time
It pays off to stop the engi ne, for examp le when
at rai lro ad crossings or tr affic lights with longer
red lights . Stopping the engine for 30 -40 sec
onds already saves more fuel than the amount of
extra fuel needed to resta rt the engine.
It t akes a very long time in idle to wa rm the en
g ine up to operating tempe ra ture . Wear and
emissions are especially high in the warm-up
p hase . Therefore, yo u should begin driving im
mediately after starting the engine. Avoid high
RPMs while do ing th is.
Have ma intenanc e performed r egularly
By having maintenance performed regular ly on
your vehicle, yo u can help to reduce f uel con
sumpt ion before you even start to dr ive. The
maintenance condition of your vehicle not only
affects traffic safety and long-term value but a l
so impacts
fuel consumpt ion .
A poorly maintained engine can lead to fuel con
sumpt ion that is 10% higher than normal.
A lso check the
oil le vel when refueling . The o il
consumption
depends large ly on the engine load
and speed. It is normal for the oil consumpt ion
of a new eng ine to reach its lowest point only af
ter a certain amount of use. Therefore, the oil
consumption can o nly be properly judged after
approx imately 3,000 m i (S,000 km) have been
d riven.
Avoid short trips
The engine and exhaust cleaning system must
reach the ir opt imal
operating temperature to ef
fectively red uce consumption and em iss ions.
A co ld engine uses a disproportionately h igh
amount of fuel. The engine reaches operating
temperature and consumpt io n normalizes only
afte r approximately
four kilometers.

(D Note
Do not leave engine idling unattended after
starting. If warning lights sho uld come on to
i ndicate imprope r operation, they would go
unheeded. Extended idling also produces
h eat, which could result in overheating or
other damage to the vehicle o r other proper
ty.
(D Note
- Have your ve hicle ma intained properly and
in accordance with the service recommenda
t ions i n your Warranty
& M aintenance book
let. La ck of prope r mai nte na nce as we ll as
imp roper use o f the ve hicle will impa ir the
func tion of the emission cont ro l sys tem and
cou ld lead to damage.
- Do not alte r or remove any compone nt of
the Emission Contro l System unless ap
proved by the man ufacturer.
- Do not alte r or remove any dev ice, such as
heat shields, switches, ig nition w ires,
valves, which are designed to protect your
vehicle's Emission Contro l System and other
important veh icle components.

Telephone Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with telephone
To make phone coils in your vehicle using the
/11/111, connect your cell phone to the /11/111 via
Bluetooth.
Hand sfree
Afte r you have connected you r ce ll phone to the
MMI via Bluetooth , you can use the handsfree
system and operate telephone functions through
your MMI. You can make calls using the antenna
on your cell phone.
A WARNING
-Med ical experts warn that cell phones can
interfere w ith the funct ion of pacemakers .
Always mainta in a m inimum d istance of 20
c ent imeters between the cell phone anten
na and the pacemaker.
- Do not carry the cell phone in a pocket di
rectly over the pacemaker when the phone
is switched on.
- Sw itch the cell phone off immediately if
you suspect it may be interfering w ith the
pacemaker.
- Do not use the vo ice recognit ion sys-
tem* c>
page 108 in emergenc ies because
your vo ice may change in stressful situa
t ions. It may take longe r to dial the number
o r the system may not be able to dial it at
all. Dial the emergency n umbe r manually .
- Switch your cell phone off in areas where
there is a risk of an exp losion . These loca
tions are not always clea rly mar ked. This
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical
storage facilities or transport vehicles, or lo cations where fue l vapors (such as propane
or gaso line vapor in vehicles or bui ld ings),
chemicals or large quantities of dust parti
cles (such as flour, sawdust or metal) may
be present in the air. This also applies to all
other locations where you would normally
turn yo ur vehicle engine off .

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 converte r
and must only be d riven w it h
unleaded gasoline .
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas
oline. Additiona l information on TOP TIER Deter
gent Gasoline can be found on the offic ial web
site (www .topt iergas.com).
The individ ua l gasoline grades a re differentiated
by
o ctane ratings . This value is given with (R +M)/
2 equating to AKI or in RON.
The fo llow ing headings ma tch the correspon ding
sticker in the fue l filler door .
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY MIN. (R+M)/2 87
Regula r/ MIN. RON
91 Regular
Use reg ular gaso line wi th minim um 87 AK I/
91 RON ~ 0 .
The m aximum engine power is only reache d if
p rem ium gaso line 91 AKI/ 95 R ON is use d .
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY PREMIUM MIN . (R
+M )/2
91 / SUPER MIN. RON 95
Using prem ium gaso line wit h minim um 91 AKI/
9 5 RON is recommende d.
If premium gasoline is not availab le, yo u can also
use reg ular gasoline 87 A KI/ 91 RO N. Howeve r
this does reduce t he engine powe r sli ght ly.
CD Note
- Fill ing the tank just one t ime with lead ed
fuel or o ther meta llic additives will cause
p erm anen t de ter io rat io n to the ca taly tic

- W hen g asoline wi th an octane ratin g th at is

Checking and Filling
{!) Tips
The vehicle may be filled with fuel t hat has a
higher octane rating than w hat is requ ired by
the eng ine .
Blended gasoline
Use of gasoline containing alcohol or MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether)
You may use unleaded gasoline b lended with al
cohol o r MTBE (commonly referre d to as oxygen
a tes) if the blende d m ixt ure meets the fo llow ing
cr it e ria :
Blend of gasoline methanol (wood alcohol or
methyl alcohol)
-Anti-knock index must be 87 AKI or higher.
- Blend must contain no more than
3% metha-
nol.
- Blend must contain more than
2% co-solvents.
Blend of gasoline and ethanol (grain alcohol or
ethyl alcohol )
-Ant i-kno ck ind ex mus t be 87 AKI or hig her.
- Blend must not co nta in mo re than
15% etha-
nol.
Blend of gasoline and MTBE
- Anti-knoc k index must be 87 AKI or h igher .
- Blend mus t contain no t mo re than
15% M TBE .
Seasonally adjusted gasoline
Many gasoline grades are blended to pe rform es
pecially well for w inter or s ummer dr iving . D ur
i ng seasonal cha nge-ove r, we sugges t that yo u
fill up a t busy gas stat ions where the seasonal
adjus tme nt is mo re li ke ly to be m ade in time .
