Media
Solution
For many ce ll phones or mobile devices, playback is not possible
when the battery level is too low (less than 5% of its capacity).
The mobile
de -vice will only be recognized as a source in the MMI
after connecting if the battery charge is sufficient .
The
Bluetooth audio player f unction is switched on. Switch this
function off
c:> page 2 54 when you a re not using the Bluetooth
audio player.
Reset the Media settings to the facto ry defau lt settings
¢ page 2 52.
When connecting a nd disconnecting, the External audio player
source is already selected. Before connecting or disconnecting the
mobile device, either mute the device (see
c:> page 255) or switch
to a different audio source (for example
c:> page 225, Opening the
radio) .
Only one interface should be act ively used at a time to ensure
problem-free playback .
When importing playlists, a ll of the fi les themselves must be im-
ported.
If yo u cannot find impor ted tracks in the media center, they may
not be supported. Only copy supported files
c:> page 245 to the
Jukebox.
To establish a connection to the MMI, the MMI connection sw itch
must be switched on in the
Audi MMI connect app status screen .
Reset the
Media settings to the factory default settings
c:> page 252.
Playback interference can occur when using the Bluetooth audio
player
if a music player app from a th ird party provider is open.
Aud i recommends using the integrated media player on your Blue-
tooth dev ice (such as a smartphone) .

Selective catalytic
reduction (AdBlue/DEF)
General information
Applies to: vehicles with 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 Flu 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

- Ad Blue attacks surfaces such as painted ve
hicle components, plastic and carpet. Re
move the fluid as quickly as possible with a
damp cloth and plenty of cold water. If the
Ad Blue has already crystallized, use warm
water and a sponge . AdBlue residue that is
not removed will crystallize and can damage
the affected surface.
- Do not store refill bottles or canisters per
manently in the vehicle. If the container
leaks, the escaping AdBlue could damage
the vehicle interior.
- Do not allow AdBlue to come into contact
with clothing. If there is contact with the
fluid, flush immediately with plenty of wa

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
