W Engine control (diesel engine )
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engines
The engine is preheating if the II indicato r light
turns on when the ignition is switched o n.
I f the indicator light does not turn on or b links
while driving , there is an eng ine control malfunc

o Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
The malfunction indicato r lamp (MIL) is part of
the On -Board Diagnostic System (OBD II). The Cockpit overview
('4 ,;ymbol turns on when the
ignition is switched
on and turns off again once the engine is started
and running at a steady idle speed. This indicates
that the MIL is function ing correctly.
T he indicator light turns on if there is a malfunc
tion in the engine electronics. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fac ility to
have the malfunction corrected . For additional
information, see

II Particulate filter : malfunction! See owner's
manual
T he diese l particulate filter requires regenera
tion . To support the filter 's self-cleaning func
tion:
Drive for approximately 15 minutes at a mini
mum of 37 mph (60 km/h) in 4th or 5th gear
(manua l transmission) or in the S selector lever
position (automatic transmission). Keep the en
gine speed at approximately 2,000 RPM . The
temperature increase that will result from th is
can burn off the soot in the filter . The ind icator
light will turn off when the cleaning has complet
ed successfully .

Warm and cold Climate control system
Description
The climate control system warms , cools and re
moves humidity from the air in the vehicle interi
or. It is the most effective when the w indows and
sliding sun roof* or power top* are closed . If
there is a build-up of heat inside the vehicle, ven
tilation can help to speed up the cooling process.
I n all heating mode functions except for
defrost ,
the blower on ly switches to a higher speed once
the engine coolant has re ached a sufficient tem
perature .
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
Key recognition
The climate control settings are automatically
stored and assigned to the remote control key
that is in use .
T hese settings are different when the power top*
is open or closed .
Warm and cold
{® For the sake of the environment
-If you would like to reduce fuel consump
tion, switch the air conditioning off . This
will also reduce emissions.
- In vehicles with a diesel engine, you can
switch the auxiliary heater off in the Info
tainment system.
(D Tips
- To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output and to prevent the win
dows from fogging over, the air intake in
front of the windshield must be free of ice,
snow or leaves .
- Condensation from the cooling system can
drip and form a puddle of water under the
vehicle . This is normal and does not mean
there is a leak .
- The energy management system may tem
porarily switch off certain functions, such as
the seat heating* or rear window defogger.
These systems are available again as soon
as the energy supply has been restored.

(D Note
Only use refill bottles that are approved for
your veh icle. Us ing other systems can cause
Ad Blue to leak.
-You can obta in refill bottles from an author

Fac ility.
- A perm itted refill bottle contains approxi
mately 0.5 gallon ( 1.9 liters) of Ad B lue.

• Then press on the left side of the tank door un -

After filling
The vehicle must be driven so that the system
recognizes t hat the Ad Bl ue was refilled. This can
take severa l min utes .
• If there was no Ad Blue left in the tank and a
range of O mi (0 km) was shown in the display ,
switch the ign ition on for about 3 0 seconds be

(D Tips
Ad Blue in the tank can free ze at very low tem
pe ra tures. If this happens, the system will
no t detect t hat the Ad Bl ue was refilled and i t
wi ll continue to inform you of the low Ad Blue
Ch eck ing and Filling
level. The message t urns off as soon as the
tank thaws out again .
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

_& WARNING
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
