Fig. 138 Infotainment system: display of alternative routes
Requirement: a destination must be entered and
the route guidance must be started.
> Press the [NAV/MAP] button repeatedly until
the Enter destination menu is displayed
=> page 148, fig. 135.

after you enter a destination.
> Select and confirm the desired route that you
would like to use for route guidance.
If available, the following information will appear
on the route suggestions:
— Route type (fast (, fast alternative (2), eco-
nomic route @)
— Distance to the destination and the calculated
arrival time
— Traffic congestion along the route including
time delays
The route that was calculated according to the
route criteria you selected is shown on the over-
view map . The special properties of the route
will also be displayed (4).

function is switched on [M page 155.
Low fuel warning
A message is displayed if the fuel gauge goes be-
low the reserve marking when this function is
switched on M. After confirming this message, a
list of gas stations in the area is displayed. When
a gas station is selected, route guidance from the
current vehicle position is calculated.
Notification when nearby*
The notification when nearby is switched off at
the factory.
The MMI notifies you when you are approaching
selected points of interest when this function is
switched on MW. You can also have a Notification
tone.
Presentation mode
The Presentation mode helps you to effectively
plan a trip and follow the planned route without
moving the vehicle. You can use Select starting
point when you would like to calculate a route
starting from a location other than the vehicle
position, for example. Start Presentation mode
to simulate route guidance.

Checking and Filling
Checking and Filling
Fuel
Types of gasoline
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. For additional information on TOP TIER De-
tergent Gasoline, visit 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 headings below match the sticker in the fuel
filler door (examples):
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY MIN. (R+M)/2 87
Regular / MIN. RON 91 Regular
Use regular gasoline with minimum 87 AKI /
91 RON >©.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY PREMIUM MIN. (R
+M)/2 91 / SUPER MIN. RON 95
Using premium gasoline with minimum 91 AKI /
95 RON is recommended.
Applies to: TT and TTS models: If premium gaso-
line is not available, you can also use regular gas-
oline 87 AKI / 91 RON. However this does reduce
the engine power slightly.
Applies to: RS models: To achieve the specified
power and torque, Audi recommends using pre-
mium plus gasoline with at least 93 AKI / 98
RON.
Applies to: RS models: If premium gasoline is not
available, you can also use regular 87 AKI /
91 RON gasoline if absolutely necessary. Howev-
er, you must only drive in the middle of the RPM
range and with low engine load. Refuel your vehi-
cle with premium gasoline as soon as possible.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY PREMIUM MIN. (R
+M)/2 93 / SUPER PLUS MIN. RON 98
Using premium plus gasoline with at least 93
AKI / 98 RON is recommended.
196
If no premium plus gasoline is available, you can
also use premium gasoline with 91 AKI / 95 RON.
However this does reduce the engine power
slightly.
C) Note
— Filling the tank just one time with leaded
fuel or other metallic additives will cause
permanent deterioration to the catalytic
converter function.
— When gasoline with an octane rating that is
too low is used, high speeds or heavy engine
load can lead to engine damage.
G) Tips
The vehicle may be filled with fuel that has a
higher octane rating than what is required by
the engine.
Gasoline mixture
Gasoline with alcohol or MTBE (Methyl-Tert-
Butyl-Ether)
You can use unleaded gasoline mixed with alco-
hol or MTBE (generally labeled as oxygenated
compounds) as long as the fuel meets the follow-
ing conditions:
Gasoline with methanol content (methyl alco-
hol or methanol)
— Anti-Knock Index is at least 87 AKI
—No more than 3% methanol
— More than 2% solvent
Gasoline with ethanol content (ethyl alcohol or
ethanol)
— Anti-Knock Index is at least 87 AKI
—No more than 15% ethanol
Gasoline with MTBE content
— Anti-Knock Index is at least 87 AKI
—No more than 15% MTBE
Gasoline adapted to the season
Many gasoline fuels are adapted to the seasons.
When the season changes, refueling at high-traf-
fic gas stations is recommended. It is more likely
that the gasoline will be suitable for the season
there.
8S1012721BE
Checking and Filling
@) Note
— Gasoline with methanol content that does
not meet the specified conditions may cause
corrosion damage and damage to plastic or
rubber components in the fuel system.
— Do not use gasoline that does not meet the
specifications.
— If you are unable to find out if a specific gas-
oline mixture meets the specifications, ask
the
gas station operator or their fuel suppli-
er.
— Do not use any gasoline mixture whose
composition cannot be identified.
— Audi does not assume any responsibility for
damage to the fuel system or for perform-
ance problems caused by using gasoline
mixtures different from those specified.
This type of damage also does not fall under
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty or under
the emissions control system warranty.
— If you notice a higher fuel consumption or
poor handling or performance problems due
to such gasoline mixtures, Audi recom-
mends fueling with unblended gasoline.
Gasoline additives
An important issue for many automobile manu-
facturers is combustion residue in the engine
that results from the use of certain fuels.
Although types of gasoline differ depending on
the manufacturer, there are similarities. Certain
substances in the gasoline may cause deposits in
the engine. Additives in the gasoline that should
keep the engine and fuel system clean do not all
function equally.
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas-
oline. For additional information on TOP TIER De-
tergent Gasoline, visit www.toptiergas.com.
If you use incorrect fuels over a long period of
time, the maximum engine performance may be
impaired by combustion residue.
CG) Note
— Damage or malfunctions caused by the use
of incorrect types of gasoline are not cov-
ered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
— Only gasoline additives that have been ap-
proved by Audi may be used.

Battery
laa eee)
Because of the complex power supply, all work
on batteries such as disconnecting, replacing,
etc., should only be performed by an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility
>A.
Multiple batteries with different technologies
may be installed in your vehicle:
— Vehicle battery (for example, for starting the
engine, basic power supply) > page 270, Lead
battery or > page 211, Other battery types
— Auxiliary battery (for example, for recuperation
or optional equipment) > page 271, Other bat-
tery types
Not running the vehicle for long periods of
time
The battery will gradually drain if the vehicle
does not run for long periods of time. To ensure
that the vehicle can still be started, the electrical
equipment will be limited or switched off. Some
convenience functions, such as interior lighting
or power seat adjustment, may not be available
under certain circumstances. The convenience
functions will be available again when you start
the
engine.
Even when electrical equipment is switched off,
the equipment can still drain the battery if the
vehicle is not driven for Long periods of time.
Deep draining results in a chemical reaction that
destroys the inside of the battery. The battery
must be charged every month to prevent this
= page 211. Contact an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility for more infor-
mation.

Winter operation
Cold weather places higher demands on the bat-
tery. This results in reduced starting ability. Have
the battery checked by an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility before cold
weather begins.
ZA\ WARNING
— All work on the battery or electrical system
in your vehicle can result in injuries, chemi-
cal burns, accidents, or burns. Because of
this, all work must be performed only by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
— Never connect the charging cable or jump
start cable directly to your vehicle battery.
Only use the connections in the engine com-
partment > page 217.
