LATCH system (Lower
anchorages and tethers
for children)
' Child Restraint System anchors and how
are they related to child safety
To provide a simpler and more practicable way to
attach the ch ild restraint on the vehicle seat, Fed­
eral regulat ions require spec ial lower anchorages
i n vehicles and devices on new child restraints to
attach to the vehicle anchorages.
The combination of the tether anchorages and
the lower anchorages is now generally called the
LATCH system for " Lower Anchorages and
Tethers for C hildren ."
Forward-facing chi ld restraints manufactured af­
ter September 1, 1999, are required by U.S. fed­ eral regulat ions to comp ly w ith new ch ild head
movement performance requirements . These
new performance requirements make a tether
necessary on most new child seats .
Installing a ch ild restraint that requires a top
tether without one can seriously impair the per­
formance of the ch ild restra int and its ability to
protect the ch ild in a collision . Install ing a chi ld
r est raint that requi res a top tether w it h out t he
top tether m ay be a v io la tion of state law.
Child rest raint manufacturers offer LATCH lower
anchorages on the ir chi ld seats with hook-on or
push-o n connectors attached to adjustable
straps.
In add ition to the LATCH lower anchorages, these
c hi ld restra int systems usually requ ire the use of
tethe r straps to he lp keep the ch ild restrai nt
firmly i n place. .,.

Child safety
not equipped with the lower anchorage attach­
ments can still be installed in compliance with
the child restraint manufacturer's instructions on
using vehicle safety bel ts .
A WARNING
Improper use of LATCH lower anchorages can
cause serious personal injury in an accident.
- Always carefully follow the child restraints
manufacturer's instructions for proper in­
stallation of the child restraint and proper
use of the lower anchorages or safety belts
in your vehicle.
- Never secure or attach any luggage or other
items to the
LATCH lower anchorages.
-Always read and heed the important infor ­
mation about child restraints in this chapter
and WARNINGS
¢ page 172, Child safety.
Installing a child restraint with LATCH
lower anchorages
Whenever you install a child restraint always fol­
low the child restraint manufacturer's instruc­ tions.
Fig. 181 L owe r an ch orages : proper mounting
Mounting
~ Make sure the seatback of the rear seat bench is
in the uprigh t position and securely latched in
place.
~ Attach both hook-on connectors with the spring
catch release on the child safety seat onto the
LATCH lower anchorage so that the connectors
lock into place
¢fig. 181.
~ Pull on the connector attachments to make
sure they are properly attached to the LATCH
lower anchorage.

~ Pull straps tight following the child restraint
manufacture r's instructions.
Releasing
~ Loosen the tension on the straps following the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions.
~ Depress the spring catches to release the an­
chorage hooks from the lower anchorages.
Remember : Use tether straps to help keep the
child restraint firmly in place.
A WARNING
Improper use of the LATCH system can in­
crease the risk of serious personal injury and
death in an accident .
-
-These anchors were developed only for child
safety seats using the "LATCH" system.
- Never attach other child safety seats, belts
or other objects to these anchors.
- Always make sure that you hear a click when
latching the seat in place. If you do not hear
a click the seat is not secure and could fly
forward and hit the interior of the vehicle, or be ejected from the vehicle.
A WARNING
Improper installation of child restraints will increase the risk of injury in an accident.
- Always follow the child restraint system manufacturer's instructions for proper in­
stallation of the child restraint system and
proper use of tether straps as well as the
lower anchorages or safety belts in your ve­
hicle .

Electronic Stabilization
Control (ESC)
Description
The Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) reinfor­
ces driver safety. It reduces the risk of slipping
and improves driving stability. ESC detects criti­
cal s ituations such as the vehicle oversteering
and understeering or the wheels sp inning. The
veh icle is stab ilized by applying the brakes or re­
ducing engine torque. Once the ESC is act ive, the
indicator light
m blinks in the instrument clus­
ter.
The fol low ing systems a re integrated in the ESC:
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking up when
brak ing . The vehicle can still be steered even dur­
ing hard braking. Apply steady pressure to the
brake pedal. Do not pump the pedal. A pulsing in
the brake pedal indicates that the system is help­
ing you to brake the vehicle.
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can decrease braking d is­
tance . It increases braking power when the dr iver
presses the brake pedal quick ly in emergency s it­
uations. You must press and hold the brake pedal
unti l the situation is over. In vehicles w ith adap ­
tive cruise control*, the brake assist system is
more sensitive if the distance detected to the ve­
hicle ahead is too small.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
ASR reduces engine power when the drive whee ls
begin to spin and adapts the force to the road
conditions. This makes it easier to start, acceler­
ate and drive up hills.
Smart Technology
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
The EDL brakes whee ls that are spinning and
trans fers the drive power to the other whee ls.
This function is not avai lable at higher speeds .
In extreme cases, EDL automatically sw itches off
to help keep the brake on the braked wheel from
overheating. EDL will switch on again automati­
ca lly when conditions have returned to normal.
Steering recommendation
The ESC helps to stabilize the vehicle by changing
the steering torque.
On vehicles with dynam ic steering*, ESC helps
stab ilize the steer ing in crit ical situat ions .
Selective wheel torque control
Selective wheel torque control is used when driv­
ing on curves. The front wheel on the inside of
the curve or both wheels on the inside of the
curve are braked select ively as needed. This al­
lows more precise driving in curves. The applica­
ble system may not activate when driving in wet
o r snowy conditions .
A WARNING
-
-The ESC and its integrated systems cannot
overcome the laws of physics. This is espe­
cially important on slippery or wet roads. If
the systems begin acting to stabilize your
vehicle, you should immediately change
your speed to match the road and traffic conditions . Do not let the increased safety
provided by these systems tempt you to
take risks. Doing so will increase the risk of a
loss of vehicle control, collision and serious
personal injuries.
- Always adapt your speed to road, traffic and
weather conditions. The risk of los ing con­
trol of the vehicle increases when driving
too fast, especially through curves and on
slippery or wet roads, and when driving too
close to vehicles up ahead . The ESC and its
integrated systems cannot a lways prevent
coll isions - there is st ill a risk of acc idents!
- Always accelerate with special care on even,
smooth surfaces such as those that are wet
or covered with ice and snow. The drive

Gasoline additives
Appl ies to vehicles: with gaso line engine
A major concern among many auto manufactur­
ers is carbon deposit build-up caused by the type
of gasoline yo u use.
Although gasoline grades differ from one manu­
facture r to another, they have certa in things in
common. A ll gasoline grades contain substances
that can cause deposits to collect on v ita l engine
parts, such as fue l injectors and intake va lves. 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 information on TOP TIER Deter­
gent Gasoline, please go to the official website
(www.toptiergas.com).
After an extended period of using inadequate
fuels, built-up carbon deposits can rob your en­
gine of peak performance .
CD Note
-Damage or malf u nction due to poor fuel
quality is not covered by the Audi New Vehi­
cle Limited Warranty.
- Do not add aftermarket fuel additive prod­
ucts to your fuel tank.
Diesel fuel
Applies to veh icles: with d iesel e ng in e
Always use ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) No. 2.
The ULSD No. 2 meets the ASTM O97S.
Diesel fuel with concentrat ions of biodiesel high­
er than S
% such as B11, B2O or B1OO are strictly
prohibited.
Service station fuel pumps are labeled w ith the
correct fuel information for easy recognition by
the user .
If the diesel fuel pump is not labeled
ask the station operator what fuel is being d is­
pensed before filling up your vehicle.
ULSD No. 2 may not be ava ilab le outside the USA
and Canada. Be sure to check before traveling to
other countries .
Fuel and Refueling
ULSD No. 2 can become thicker in very cold tem ­
peratures, and this can impair the engine's start­
ing and running. Depend ing on the season, gas
stations provide ULSD No. 2 that flows better in cold temperatures so that you can cont inue oper­
ating your vehicle as usual.
CD Note
- Your vehicle's diesel engine was designed
soley for use w ith ULSD No. 2. Therefore,
never use gasoline, heating oil, other fuels
or flow improvers. These contain substances
that will severe ly damage the fuel system
and the engine. Such damage will not be
covered by your New Vehicle Limited War­
ranty.
- If you put any amount of incorrect fuel in
the fuel tank, do not start the engine under
any circumstances. Immediately contact the
nearest authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized Aud i Service Facility for assistance .
These fuels contain substances that can se­
vere ly damage the fuel system and the en­
gine if the engine is started.
Refueling
Fuel filler neck
The fue l filler neck is located on the right rear
side panel behind the fuel filler flap .
If the power lock ing system should fail, you can
still open the flap manually -for detailed instruc­
tions see
¢ page 217.
You can find the fuel tank capacity of your vehicle
in
¢ page 278.
The label on the inside of the fuel f iller flap tells
you the correct fuel for your veh icle. For more in­
formation about fuel specifications, see
¢page 213.
Your vehicle fuel tank has an on-board refuelling
vapor recovery system. This feature helps to pre­
ven t fu el vapors from escap ing from the tank and
polluting the environment while yo u refuel your
vehicle. In order to fill the tank properly while
protecting the environment, please follow this
refueling procedure carefully .

Fuel and R efue lin g
_& WARNING
Under normal operating conditions, never car ­
ry additional fuel containers in your car. Gas
canisters and other containers used to trans­
port fuel can be dangerous. Such containers,
full or empty, may leak and could cause a fire
in a collision. If you must transport fuel to
use for your lawn mower, snow blower, etc.,
be very careful and a lways observe loca l and
state laws rega rding the use, transportation
and sto rage of such fuel containers. Make cer­
tain the container meets industry standards
(ANSI/ASTM F852 -86) .
(D Note
Never d rive you r vehicle unt il the fuel tank is
comp letely empty. The irreg ular supply of

_& WARNING
Imp roper refueling or handling of fuel can
cause fire, explosion and severe burns.
- Fue l is highly flammable and can cause se­
vere burns and other injur ies.
-
- Failure to shut the engine off while refuel­
ing and/or to insert the pump nozzle fully
into the fue l filler neck could cause fuel to
spray out of filler neck or to overflow. Fue l
spray and overflowing fue l can cause a fire.
- Never use a ce llular telephone while refuel­
ing. The electromagnetic radiation can
cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors and
cause a fire.
- Never get back into your vehicle wh ile refu­

Static electricity can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors released during refueling.
- Never smoke or have an open flame any­
where in or near your vehicle when refueling or filling a portable fuel container.
- For your safety, we strong ly recommend
that you do not travel with a portable fuel
container in your vehicle. The container, full
or empty may leak and could cause a fire,
especially in a crash.
- If, under exceptional circumstances, you
must transport a portable fuel container,
please observe the following:
- Never fill a portable fuel container whi le it
is anywhere in or on the vehicle (for exam­
ple, in the luggage compartment, or on
the trunk). Static electricity can bui ld up
while filling and can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
- Always place a portable fuel container on
the ground before filling.
-Always keep the fi ller nozzle complete ly
ins ide the portable container before and
during filling.
- If filling a portable container made of
metal, the filler nozz le must always be in
contact w ith the container . Th is will help
prevent static e lectricity from discharg ing
and cause a fire .
- Never sp ill fuel inside the vehicle or lug­
gage compartment. Fue l vapors are highly
flammab le.
- Always observe local and state/provincial laws rega rding the use, storage and trans­
portat ion of fuel contai ners.
- Make certa in the fuel container meets in­
dustry standards (ANSI/ ASTM F852 -86) .
(D Note
If any fuel has spilled onto the car, it shou ld
be removed immediately to prevent damage
to the paint .
@ For the sake of the environment
As soon as the correctly operated nozzle sw itches off automatically for the first time,
the tank is full . Do not try to add more fuel
Fu el a nd R efu elin g
because f uel may spill out. In addition, the
expansion space in the fuel tank will be fi lled -
causing the fue l to overflow when it becomes
warm and pollute the environment.
@ Tips
- Running your engine whi le refue lling may
cause vapors to escape or even cause fue l to
spill out of the tank. This would then sh ut
off the fuel nozzle before the tank is full.
- Do not refuel your vehicle with the ignition turned on. The fuel gauge may otherwise not indicate the correct fuel level after refu­
elling .
- Diesel vehicles* are equipped with a diesel
m isfueling protector .
It allows the vehicle to
be fueled only with a d iesel fue l pump noz­
zle . A wo rn o r damaged nozzle o r a nozz le
that is too small may not be able to open
the diesel misfueling protector.
If this is the
case , try turning the nozzle before insert ing
it in the fuel filler neck, use a different fuel
pump or see your authorized A udi dealer or
authorized repair facility for assistance.
- The fuel fi ller f lap of your vehicle is not
locked when you lock the vehicle from the
inside.
Unlocking the fuel filler flap
