222  Fuel supply and filling  your  fuel  tank 
Filling  AdBlue 
Applies  to vehicles:  with  diesel engine 
A special  refill  bottle  must  be  used  to  fill the 
AdBlue . 
Fig. 184 Rig ht  rear  vehicle side:  remov ing  the  Ad B lue 
cap 
Fig . 185 Ad Blue filler  tube:  inse rting  the refill  bottle 
The  AdBlue fi ller  tube  is located  near  the  die
sel  filler  tube . Always add  1.5  gallons  (5. 7  lit
ers)  of AdBlue  (three  bottles).  This is the  mini
mum  amount  required  to  ensure  the  system 
detects  the  refilling  and  to start  the  eng ine. 
The  AdBlue tank  capacity  is approximately 
4 .5  gal lons  (17  liters). 
Opening  the filler  tube  and  adding 
AdBlue 
Requirement : The  request  to  add  Ad  Blue  must 
appear  in the  instrument  cluster  display. 
•  Switch  the  ignition  off . 
•  Open  the tank  cover 
¢page  218. 
• Turn  the  cap  counterclockw ise  with  the  lug 
wrench  from  the vehicle tool  kit  to remove  it 
¢fig. 184. 
• Remove  the  cap  from the  refill  bottle. 
•  Position  the refill  bottle  on  the  filler  tube 
and  turn  the  bottle  clockwise  until it  stops 
turning 
(D ¢ fig . 185. 
•  Press  lightly  against  the bottom  of the  bot
tle @to empty  it.  Continue  pressing  the 
bottom  of  the bottle  until it is  empty  or  un
til  fluid  stops  flowing  into  the  tank. 
•  Turn the  bottle  to  the  left  without  pressing 
on  the  bottom . 
Closing  the  filler  tube 
• Turn the  cap  clockwise  on  the  filler  tube 
with  the  lug wrench  until  you  hear  it tighten 
completely . 
•  Close  the  tank  cover. 
After  filling 
The vehicle  must  be  driven. The  system  may 
take  up  to  two  minutes  to  detect  that  the 
AdBlue  has been  f illed. 
•  If there  was no Ad Blue left  in the  tank and  a 
range  of 
O  mi  (0 km) was  displayed  in the 
instrument  cluster,  switch  the  ignition  on 
for  about  15  seconds  before  starting  the  en gine.

Bulbs 
Replacing  light  bulbs 
For your safety, we recommend that you have 
your  authorized  Audi  dealer  replace  burned 
out  bulbs  for you. 
It  is becoming  increasingly  more  and  more 
difficult  to  replace vehicle  light  bulbs  since  in 
many  cases,  other  parts  of the  car  must  first 
be  removed  before  you  are  able  to  get  to  the 
bulb.  This appl ies  especially  to  the  light bulbs 
in  the  front  of your  car which  you  can only 
reach  through  the engine  compartment . 
Sheet  metal  and  bulb  ho lders  can  have  sharp 
edges  that  can  cause  ser ious  cuts,  and  parts 
must  be  correctly  taken  apart  and  then  prop
erly  put  back  together  to  help  prevent  break
age  of  parts  and  long  term  damage  from  wa
ter  that  can  enter  housings  that  have  not  been  properly  resealed. 
F or your  safety,  we  recommend  that you  have 
your  authorized  Audi  dealer  replace  any  bulbs  for  you,  since  your  dealer has  the  proper  tools, 
the  correct  bu lbs  and  the  expertise . 
Gas discharge  lamps  (Xenon lights): 
Fuses  and  bulbs 
Due to  the  high  e lectr ica l voltage,  have  the 
bulbs  replaced  by a  qualified  technician. 
Head lights  w ith  Xenon  light  can  be  identified 
by the  high  voltage  sticker. 
LED headlights*  require  no  maintenance. 
Please  contact  your  authorized  Audi dealer  if a 
bulb  needs  to  be  replaced. 
_& WARNING 
Contact  with  high-voltage components  of 
the  electrical  system  and  improper  re
placement  of  gas  discharge  (Xenon)  head
light  bulbs  can  cause  ser ious  personal  in
jury  and  death . 
- Xenon  bulbs  are  pressur ized  and  can  ex
plode  when  being changed . 
- Changing  Xenon  lamps  requ ires  the  spe
cial  tra ining,  instructions  and  equip
ment. 
- Only an  authorized  Audi dealer  or  other 
qualified  workshop  should  change  the 
bulbs  in  gas  discharge  lamps. 
&_ WARNING 
There  are  parts  with  sharp  edges  on  the 
openings  and  on  the  bulb holders  that can 
cause  serious  cuts. 
- If  you  are  uncertain  about  what  to do, 
have  the work  performed  by an  author
ized  Audi  dealer or other  qualified  work
shop . Serious  personal  injury  may  result 
from  improperly  performed  work. 
(D Tips 
-If  you  still  prefer  to  replace  the  light 
bulbs  yourself,  be  aware  that  the  engine 
compartment  is a  hazardous  area  to 
work  in  ¢ 
page 224¢ &. 
-It  is best  to  ask  your authorized  Audi 
dealer  whenever  yo u need  to  change  a 
bulb .
