Selective catalytic
reduction (AdBlue)
General information
Applies to: vehicles with selective catalytic reduct ion
In vehicles with selective catalytic reduction, a
urea solution (AdBlue) is injected into the ex­
haust system before a nitrogen oxide cata lytic
converter to reduce nitrogen emissions.
The Ad Blue is carried in a separate tank in the ve­ hicle. The Ad B lue usage accounts for approxi­
mately 1.0% to 2.5% of the diesel fuel that is
used.
When a message about refi lling the AdBlue ap­
pears in the instrument cluster display, you must
ref ill the Ad B lue yourself or have it refilled by an
authorized Audi dealer or authori zed Audi Service
Facility
c> page 301.
(l} Tips
- The d isp lay indicates the distance rema ining
that can be driven¢
page 300. If the Ad Bl­
ue tank is completely empty, the engine will
not start again after the ignition is switched
off .
- Ad Blue is required by law to operate th is ve­
hicle.
Messages in the instrument cluster display
App lies to: vehicles with selective cata lytic reduction
The display indicates if the Ad Blue level is low or
if there is a system malfunction .
Ad Blue level low
You will be informed in the instrument cluster
display if the Ad Blue in the tank drops below a
certain level. Add at a minimum the amount of
Ad Blue shown in the message:
• Refill with at least x qt (l) Ad Blue . Range
x mi (km)
This message appears when there is only enough
AdBlue left to drive the distance indicated in the
instrument cluster. Fill the AdBlue.
• Refill with at least x qt (I) AdBlue . No en­
gine start in x mi (km ). See owner's manual

Emissions control
systems
Catalytic converter
Applies to vehicles a with gasoli ne engine : the
vehicle may only be driven with unleaded gaso­ li ne, otherwise the cata lytic converter will be de­
stroyed .
Never dr ive until the tank is complete ly empty.
The irregu lar supply of fuel that resu lts from that
can cause eng ine misfires. Uncombusted fue l will
enter the exhaust system, which can cause over­
hea ting and damage to the cata lytic converter .
Diesel particulate filter
Applies to vehicle s with a diesel engine : the die­
sel part icu late filter filters nearly all of the soot
particles out of the exhaust. The f ilter cleans it­
self automatically under normal dr iv ing cond i­
t ions .
If the filter cannot clean itself (fo r exam­
ple, bec ause you are only d rivi ng short distan­
c es), the filte r becomes clogged wi th soo t and
t h e
Cl indica to r li gh t for the diese l part icu late

page 34.
A WARNING
The temperat ure of the exhaust system is
h igh, both when driv ing and after stopping
the eng ine.
-
- Never touch the exhaust tail pipes once they
have become hot. This cou ld res ult in burns.
- Do not park your veh icle over flammable
materials such as grass or leaves because
the high temperature of the emissions con­ trol system (catalytic converter or d iesel
pa rtic ulate filter) could start a fire.
- Do not app ly underbody protectant in the
exhaust system area , beca use this increases
the r isk of f ire.

Check ing and F illing
CJ) Note
Driving with an insufficient oil level is likely to
cause severe damage to the engine .
@ Tips
-The oil pre ssure warn ing display. is not
an ind icato r of the oil l evel. Do not rel y on
it. In stead , che ck th e oil le vel in your e n­
gi ne a t regul ar int ervals, prefe rably e ach
t ime you re fuel , and al ways befo re go ing
on a long trip .
-If you have the impression your engine con­
sumes excessive amounts of oil, we recom­
mend that you consult an authorized Aud i
dealer to have the cause of your concern
properly d iagnosed . Keep in mind that the
accurate measurement of oil consumpt ion
r equi res great ca re and may take some
time. An authorized Audi dealer has instruc­
tions about how to measure oil consump­
tion accurately.
Checking the engine oil level
The engine oil level can be checked in the Info­
tainment system
.. Park you r vehicle on a level surface.
.. Shut the engine off when it is warm.
.. Switch only the ignition back on.
.. Wait approximately two minut es .
.. Se lect in the Infotainment system: the
I MENU I
button > Ve hicle > left cont rol button > S er vice
& c h ecks > Oil lev el.
.. Check the oil level in the Infotainment system
display . Add engine oil if the bar in the oil level
indicato r is near "min "¢
page 308 .
The engine oil consumpt ion may be up to
0 .5 quart pe r 600 miles (0.5 l iter/1,000 km), de­
pending on driving style and operating condi­
tions. Consumption may be highe r d uring the
fi rst 3 ,000 mi les (5,000 km). Because of this, the
engine o il level must be checked regu larly. I t
wou ld be best to check each time you refuel your
vehicle and before long drives .
308
(D Tips
The oil level indicator in the disp lay is only an
i nformat ional disp lay .
If the oil leve l is too
l ow, a min imum oil warning appears in the in­
strument cluster. Add oil and close the hood.
The current oil level is displayed in the instru ­
ment cluster the next t ime the ignition is
switched on.
Adding engine oil F ig. 248 E n gin e compartment : engine oil f ille r open ing

opening <=>
fig. 248, <=> page 306 .
.. Carefully add 0 .5 quart (0.5 l iter) of the correct
oil ¢
page 306.
.. Check the oil level aga in after two minutes
¢ page 308, Checking the engine oil level .
.. Add more o il if necessary.
.. Close the engine oi l filler opening cap .
A WARNING
-When adding oil, do not let oil drip onto hot
engine components. This increases the risk
of a fire.
- You must secure the cap on the oil f iller
open ing correctly so that oil does not leak
out onto the hot engine and exhaust system
when the engine is runn ing, because this is
a fire hazard .
- Always clean sk in thoroughly if it comes into
contact with eng ine oil.

- Calc ulat ing the time to the next oil change
is interrupted when the vehicle battery is
disconnected.
If the vehicle is not driven for
a long period of time, check the mainte­
nance schedule so that you can fo llow the
maintenance intervals .

Wheels
A WARNING
-If the tire pressure indicator appears in the
display, reduce your speed immediately and
avoid any hard steering or braking maneu­
vers. Stop as soon as possible and check the
tires and their pressure .
- The driver is responsible for maintaining the
correct tire pressure. You must check the
tire pressure regularly.
- Under certain conditions (such as a sporty
driving style, winter conditions or unpaved
roads), the tire pressure monitoring system
indicator may be delayed.
@ Tips
- The tire pressure monitoring system can al­
so stop working when there is an ESC mal­
function.
- Using snow chains may result in a system
malfunction.
- The Tire Pressure Monitoring System in your
Audi was calibrated with "Audi Original
Tires "~
page 324. We recommend that you
use these tires.
Storing tire pressures
If the tire pressure changes or a tire is replaced,
it must be confirmed in the Infotainment sys­
tem .
.. Before storing the tire pressures, make sure the
tire pressures of all four tires meet the speci­
fied values and are adapted to the load
~page 327 .
.. Switch on the ignition .
.. Select in the Infotainment system:
