/11/111, connect your cell phone to the /11/111 via
Bluetooth.
Hand sfree
After you have connected your 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
- Medical experts warn that cell phones can
interfere w ith the funct ion of pacemakers .
Always mainta in a m inimum d istance of
about 8 inches (20 cm) between the ce ll
phone antenna 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 system*
<=) page 167 in emergencies because your
vo ice may change in stressful situations. It
may take longer to dial the number or the
system may not be able to dia l it at all. Dial
the emergency n umbe r manua lly.
- Switch your cell phone off in areas where
there is a ris k of an exp losion . These loca­
tions are not always clearly mar ked. This
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical
storage facilities or transport vehicles, o r lo ­
cations where fue l vapors (such as propane
or gaso line vapor in vehicles or bui ldings),
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 your vehicle engine off .

Checking and Filling
Checking and Filling Fuel
Gasoline grade
A pp lies to: ve hicles w ith gasoline engines
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 with
unleaded gasoline.
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas­
oline. Additional information on TOP TIER Deter­
gent Gasoline can be found on the official web­
site (www .toptiergas.com).
The individual gasoline grades are differentiated
by
octane ratings. This value is given with (R +M)/
2 equating to AKI or in RON.
The following headings match the corresponding
sticker in the fuel filler door .
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY MIN. (R+M)/2 87
Regular/ MIN. RON 91 Regular
Use regular gasoline with minimum 87 AKI/
91 RON
i::>@ .
The max imum eng ine power is only reached if
p rem ium gasol ine 91 AKI/ 95 RON is used.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY PREMIUM MIN. (R
+M)/2 91 / SUPER MIN. RON 95
Using premium gaso line with minimum 91 AKI/
95 RON is recommended.
If premium gasoline is not available, you can also use regular gasoline 87 AKI/ 91 RON . However
this does reduce th e engine powe r slight ly.
0 Note
- Fillin g the tank just one time with leaded
fuel or other metallic additives will cause
permanent deter iorat ion to the catalytic
converter function.
- When gasoline with an octane rat ing that is
too low is used , h igh speeds or heavy engine
load can lead to engine damage.
310
(D Tips
The vehicle may be filled with fuel that has a
h igher octane rating than what is required by
the eng ine.
Blended gasoline
App lies to : vehicles wi th gaso line e ngi ne
Use of gasoline containing alcohol or MTBE
(methyl tertiary butyl ether)
You may use unleaded gasoline blended with al ­
cohol or MTBE (commonly referred to as oxygen­
ates) if the blended mixture meets the following
criteria:
Blend of gasoline methanol (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 than
2% co-solvents.
Blend of gasoline and ethanol (grain alcohol or
ethyl alcohol)
-Anti-knock index must be 87 AK I or h igher.
- Blend must not conta in more than 15% etha-
nol.
Blend of gasoline and MTBE
- Anti -knock index must be 87 AKI or higher.
- Blend must not contain more than 15% MTBE.
Seasonally adjusted gasoline
Many gasoline grades are blended to perform es­
pecially well for winter or summer dr iv ing . Dur­
i ng seasonal change-over, we suggest that you
fill up at busy gas stat ions where the seasonal
adjustment is more lik ely to be made in t ime.
@ Note
- Methanol fuels which do not meet these re­
quirements may cause corrosion and dam­
age to plastic and rubber components in the
fuel system.
- Do not u se fue ls that fail to meet the speci-
fied criteria in this chapter. ...

::r ' -If you are unable to determine whether or
not a particular fue l 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 ­
l ems resulting from the use of fue ls differ­
ent from those specif ied 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 performance 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 caused by the type
of gasoline yo u use.
A lthough gasoline grades d iffer from one manu­
facturer to another, they have certain 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. A l­
though most gasoline brands include additives to keep engine and fuel systems clean, they are not
equally effective .
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas­
oline. For more informat ion on TOP TIER Deter­
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.
@ Note
Damage or malfunction due to poor fuel q ual­
ity is not covered by the Aud i New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Ch eck ing and F illing
Diesel fuel
App lies to : veh icles w it h diese l eng ine
Always use U LSD (Ult ra Low Sulfur Diesel) No. 2.
T he ULSD No. 2 meets the AS TM D975.
D iesel fuel w ith concentrations of b iod iesel h igh­
er than 5
% such as B 11, B20 or B100 are strict ly
proh ib ited.
Service station fuel pumps are labeled with the
correct fuel information for easy recogn it ion by
the user . If the d iesel fue l pump is not labeled
ask the station operator what fuel is being dis ­
pensed before fill ing up your vehicle.
U LSD No . 2 may not be ava ilable outside the USA
and Canada . Be su re to check befo re traveling to
othe r countr ies.
ULSD No . 2 can become thicker in very cold tem­
peratures, and th is can impa ir the engine's start­
i ng and runn ing . Depend ing on the season , gas
stations provide ULSD No. 2 that flows bette r in
co ld tempe ra tures so that you can co nti nu e ope r­
at ing you r vehicle as usual.
{Qj) Note
- Yo ur vehicle's d iese l eng ine was des igned
so ley for use w ith ULS D No. 2. Therefo re,
never use gasoline, heating oil, other f uels
or flow improvers. These contain s ubstances
that will severely damage the fuel system
and the engine. Such damage will not be
covered by your New Vehicle Limited War­
ranty.
- If you put any amo unt of incorrect fuel in
the fuel tank, do not start the engine under
any c ircumstances. Immed iately contact the
nearest author ized Audi dealer or author­
ized Aud i Serv ice Facility fo r ass istance.

Fig. 255 Fu el fi lle r door w it h atta ched fuel cap
The fuel f ille r door is unlocked or locked by the
central locking system .
• Press on the left side of the fuel filler door to
open
c:!;> fig. 254.
• Unscrew the tank cap counterclockw ise.
• Place the cap from above on the open fue l filler
door c:!;>fig. 255.
• Insert the fu el pump no zz le all the way into th e
fuel filler neck.
• Begin fueling . Once the fuel pump noz zle turns
off the first time, the fuel tank is full. Do not continue fueling , or else the expans ion space in
the tank will be filled with fuel.
• After the fuel pump has switched off , wait five
seconds before remov ing it to allow the rest of
the fuel to f inish dripp ing into the fuel tank.
• Turn the fue l cap clockwise until you hear it
lock.
• Close the fuel filler door and then pr ess on th e
left side until it latches.
The correct fu el type for your vehicle can be
found on a lab el located on the inside of the fue l
312
filler door. For additional information on fuel,
se e
c:!;> page 310.
For the tank capacity in your veh icle, refer to the
Technica l Data
c:!;> page 3 75 .
To reduce the risk of fuel leaking out or vapors
escaping, make sure that the fuel tank is closed
correctly. Otherw ise the
¢'4 ind icator light wi ll
turn on.
If the cent ral locking system malfunctions , the
fuel filler doo r may emergency re lease
c:!;> page 314.
& WARNING
An improper fueling procedure and improper
handling of fuel can lead to explosions, fires,
severe burns and other in juries.
- Do not smoke and keep away from open
flames.
- The ignition must be sw itched off when re­
fueling.
- Cell phones, radio devices and other rad io
equipment should a lways be switched off
when refueling. E lectromagnetic rays could
cause sparks and start a fire.
- If you do not insert the fuel pump nozzle all
the way into the filler tube, then fuel can
leak out. Spilled fuel can ignite and start a
fire .
- Never get into the vehicle when refueling . If
there is an exceptional situation where the
vehicle must be entered, close the door and
touch a metal surface before touching the
fuel pump nozzle again . This will reduce the
r isk of electrostatic discharge that can cause
f lying sparks. Sparks can start a fire when
refueling.
& WARNING
We recommend that you do not transpo rt any
f u el containers in the vehicle . Fuel could leak
out of the container and ignite, especially dur­
ing an accident. This can cause explosions,
fires and injuries.
- If you must transport fuel in a fuel contain­ er, p lease note the following :

-Always p lace a fuel container on the
ground before f illing. Never f ill the fuel
container with fuel while it is in or on the
ve hicle . Electrostatic charge can occur
while refuel ing and the fuel vapors could
ign ite .
- For fuel containers made of metal, the fuel pump nozzle must always ma intain
contact w ith the conta ine r to reduce the
r isk of static c harge.
- I nsert the fuel pump nozzle as fa r as pos­
sib le into the filler ope ning whi le ref uel­
ing.
- Follow legal requirements w hen using ,
sto ring a nd transpo rting fue l co nta ine rs .
- Make sure that the fuel container meets
the industry standa rds , fo r example ANSI
or AS TM F852-86 .
0 Note
- Remove fuel that has overflowed onto any
vehicle compo nents immed iate ly to reduce
t h e ris k of da mage to t he ve hicle.
-Never dr ive until the fuel tank is comp letely
empty . The irregu lar supply of fuel t hat re­
s ul ts from that ca n cause engine misfires.
Un comb usted f uel w ill en ter the ex ha ust
system an d increase the risk of damage to
t h e catalytic converter .
- Applies to: vehicles with a diesel engine: if
the fue l tank runs complete ly empty, the ig ­
nition m ust remain switched on for at least
30 seconds after refueling before starting
the engine . It may take longer than usual
fo r the engine to start, even up to a m inute.
This is because the air m ust first bleed o ut
of the fuel system when starting the engine .
