Intelligent Technology
— Utilize the engine braking effect when driv-
ing downhill by selecting the “S” driving
program > page 80. This reduces the load
on the brakes. If you need to brake addition-
ally, brake in intervals and not continuously.
G) Tips
— If you retrofit your vehicle with a front spoil-
er, wheel covers or similar items, make sure
that the air flow to the brakes is not ob-
structed. Otherwise the brake system can
overheat.
— Also refer to the information about brake
fluid > page 208.

Checking and Filling
@) Tips
— If adverse weather conditions cause the fuel
filler door to freeze shut, press on the cen-
ter of the filler door with the heel of your
hand and then try opening it again.
— The fuel filler door on your vehicle does not
lock if you lock the vehicle from the inside
using the central locking switch.
G) Tips
— Your vehicle is equipped with a misfueling
guard. It allows the vehicle to be fueled only
with the correct fuel pump nozzle.
—Aworn or damaged nozzle or a nozzle that
is too small may not be able to open the die-
sel misfueling guard. If this is the case, try
turning the nozzle before inserting it in the
fuel filler neck, use a different fuel pump, or
see an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility for assistance.
— The misfueling guard does not open when
adding fuel from a fuel container. When re-
fueling with a reserve canister, you must use
the
funnel stored in the luggage compart-
ment > page 198, fig. 164.

system
General information
Z\ WARNING
The temperature of the exhaust system is
high, both when driving and after stopping
the engine.
— Never touch the exhaust tail pipes once they
have become hot. This could result in burns.
— Do not park your vehicle over flammable
materials such as grass or leaves because
the high temperature of the emissions sys-
tem could start a fire.
— Do not apply underbody protectant in the
exhaust system area, because this increases
the risk of fire.

The vehicle may only be driven with unleaded
gasoline, or the catalytic converter will be de-
stroyed.
Never drive until the tank is completely empty.
The irregular supply of fuel that results from that
can cause engine misfires. Uncombusted fuel
could enter the exhaust system, which could
cause overheating and damage to the catalytic
converter.

Message
B Warning! Hood is not locked. Stop vehicle
and check the lock
The hood latch is not locked correctly. Stop im-
mediately and close the hood.
ZA WARNING
— Never open the hood when there is steam or
coolant escaping from the engine compart-
ment, because there is a risk that you could
be burned. Wait until no steam or coolant is
escaping.
— For safety reasons, the hood must always be
closed securely while driving. Because of
this, always check the hood after closing it
to make sure it is latched correctly. The hood
is latched if the front corners cannot be lift-
ed.
— If you notice that the hood is not latched
while you are driving, stop immediately and
close it, because driving when the hood is
not latched increases the risk of an accident.
