:E: ' fill up at busy gas stations where the seasonal
adjustment is more likely to be made in time .
(D Note
-Methanol f uels which do not mee t these re­
quirements may ca use corrosion and dam­
age to plastic and rubber components in the
fuel system.
- Do not use fuels that fai l to meet the speci­
fied criteria in this chapter.
- If you are unable to determine whether or not a particular fuel blend meets the speci­
fications, ask your service station or its fuel
supplier.
- Do not use fuel for which the contents can­
not be identif ied.
- Fuel system damage and performance prob­
lems resulting from the use of fue ls differ­
ent from those specified are not the respon­
s ibility of Audi and are not covered under
the New Veh icle or the Emiss ion Control
System Wa rrant ies.
- If you experience a loss of fue l economy or
driveability and performance problems due
to the use of one of these fuel b lends, we
recommend that you switch to unblended
fuel.
Gasoline additives
Applies to: vehicles with gasol ine engine
A majo r concern among many auto manufactur ­
ers is carbon deposit build-up caused by the type
of gasoline you use.
A lthough gasoline grades d iffer from one manu­
facturer to another, they have cer tain things in
common . A ll gasoline grades contain substances
that can cause deposits to collect on vita l engine
parts, such as fue l injectors and intake valves . Al ­
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 informat ion on TOP TIER Deter­
gent Gasoline, please go to the official website (www.toptiergas .com) .
Check ing and Filling
After an extended period o f using inadeq uate
fuels, bui lt-up ca rbon deposits can rob your en­
gine of peak performance.
(D Note
- Damage or malfunction d ue to poor f uel
quality is no t covered by the Audi New Veh i­
cle Lim ited Warranty .
- Do not add af termarket fuel addi tive prod­
u cts to your fue l tank.
Diesel fuel
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
Always use U LSD (Ult ra Low Sulfur Diesel) No. 2.
T he ULSD No. 2 meets the AS TM 0975.
D iesel fuel w ith concentrations of b iod iesel h igh­
er than 5
% such as Bl 1, B20 or B100 are st rict ly
prohib ited.
Service station fuel pumps are labeled with the
cor rect fuel i nformation for easy recogn ition by
the user. If the d iesel fue l pump is not labeled
as k t he station operator wha t fuel is being dis­
pensed before fill ing up your vehi cle.
U LSD No . 2 may not be ava ilable outside the USA
and Canada. Be su re to check befo re t raveling to
othe r countr ies.
ULSD No . 2 can become thicker in very cold tem­
peratures, and th is can impa ir the engine's start­
ing and runn ing . Depend ing o n the season, gas
stations provide ULS D No. 2 that flows be tte r in
cold te mpe ra tures so that you can conti nue ope r­
at ing your vehicle as usual.

(D Note
Only use refill bottles that are approved for
your veh icle. Us ing other systems can cause
Ad Blue to leak.
- You can obta in refill bottles from an author­
i zed Audi dealer or author ized Audi Service
Fac ility.
- A perm itted refill bottle contains approxi­
mately 0.5 gallon ( 1.9 liters) of Ad B lue.
Completing AdBlue refill
Applies to: vehicles with selective catalytic reduction
Closing th e filler neck
• Turn the Ad Blue cap to the right on the filler
tube u ntil the cap clicks into p lace

Preparation on page 319,
c;> (D in Preparation
on page 319 ..
• Then press on the left side of the tank door un -
ti l it latches.
After filling
The vehicle must be driven so that the system
recognizes t hat the Ad Bl ue was refilled. This can
take severa l min utes .
• If there was no Ad Blue left in the tank and a
range of O mi (0 km) was shown in the display ,
switch the ign ition on for about 30 seconds be­
f ore star ting the engine .
(D Tips
Ad Blue in the tank can free ze at very low tem­
pe ra tures. If this happens, the system will
no t detect t hat the Ad Bl ue was refilled and i t
wi ll continue to inform you of the low Ad Blue
Ch eck ing and Filling
level. The message t urns off as soon as the
tank thaws out again .
Emissions control
systems
Catalytic con verter
Applies to: vehicles with gasoline engines
T he vehicle may only be driven with un leaded
gasoline, otherwise the catalytic converter will be
destroyed.
Never drive until the tank is compl ete ly empty .
The irregu lar supply of fuel that resu lts from that
can cause eng ine misfires. Uncombusted fuel will
enter the exhaust system, which can cause over­
heating and damage to the catalytic converter .
Diesel particulate filt er
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engines
The diese l particu late filter filters near ly all of
the soot particles out of the exhaust. The filter
cleans itself automatically under norma l driving
condit ions. If the filter cannot clean itself (for ex­
ample, because you are only driving short distan ­
ces), the filter becomes clogged with soot and
the
1\1 i ndicato r light for the diese l part iculate
filte r tu rns on
c;> page 30.
_& WARNING
The tempera ture of the exhaus t sys tem is
high, bot h when driv ing and a fter stoppi ng
the engine.
- Never tou ch the e xhaust tail pipes once they
have become hot. This cou ld res ult in burns .
- Do not par k your veh icle over flamm ab le
materia ls such as grass or leaves because
the high temperature of the emissions con­ trol system (catalytic converter or diesel particu late filter) cou ld start a fire.
- Do not app ly underbody protectant in the
exhaust system area, beca use this increases
the risk of f ire.

:E .. Push the release button ¢ fig. 269 and careful­
ly unscrew the cap to the left until you feel re­
sistance ¢,&. .
.. Push the release button again and remove the
cap completely .
.. Add coolant mixed in the correct ratio
¢page 328 up to the MAX marking .
.. Make sure that the fluid level remains stable .
Add more coolant if necessary .
.,. Turn the cap to the right to secure it until yo u
feel resistance a second time.
Coolant loss usually indicates there is a leak . Im­
mediately drive your vehicle to an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Aud i Service Facility
and have the cooling system inspected. If the
cooling system is not leaking, a loss can come
from the coolant boiling through overheating
and being pushed out of the cooling system.
A WARNING
-The cooling system is under pressure. Do
not open the coolant expansion tank cap
when the eng ine is hot. This increases the
risk of burns .
- The coolant additive and the coolant can be
dangerous to your health. For this reason,
keep the coolant in the original container
and away from children. There is a risk of
poisoning.
- When working in the engine compartment,
remember that the radiator fan can switch
on even if the ign ition is switched off, which
increases the risk of injury.
CD Note
Do not add coolant if the expansion tank is
empty. There may be air in the cooling sys­
tem, which increases the risk of engine dam­
age . If this is the case, do not continue driv­
ing . See an authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized Audi Service Facility for assistance.

marking, it can impair the braking effect
and driving safety, wh ich increase the risk of
an accident. Do not continue dr iving. See an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Serv ice Facility for assistance.
- If the brake fluid is old, bubbles may form
in the brake system dur ing heavy braking.
This would impair braking performance and
driving safety, which increases the risk of an
accident.
- To ensure the brake system functions cor­
rectly, only use brake fluids that comp ly
with VW standard 501 14 or FMVSS-116 DOT 4.
CD Note
-If the brake flu id l eve l is above the MAX
marking, brake fluid may leak out over the

Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bulbs for
you.
It is becoming increasingly more and more diffi­
cult to replace vehicle light bulbs since in many
cases, other parts of the car must first be re­
moved before you are able to get to the bulb.
This applies especially to the light bulbs in the
front of your car wh ich you can only reach
through the eng ine compartment.
Sheet metal and bulb ho lders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, parts must be
correctly taken apart and then properly put back
together to help prevent breakage of parts and long term damage from water that can enter
housings that have not been properly resea led.
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your author ized Audi dealer replace any bulbs for
you, s ince your dealer has the proper tools, the
correct bulbs and the expert ise.
Gas discharge lamps (Xenon lights):
Fuses and bulbs
Due to the high e lectrica l voltage, have the bulbs
rep laced by a qualified technician. Headlights
with Xenon light are identified by the high volt­
age sticker.
LED headlights*
LED headlights require no maintenance. Please
contact your authorized Audi dealer if a bulb
needs to be replaced.
& WARNING ~ -
Changing Xenon lamps without the necessary
equipment can cause serious personal injury.
- Bulbs are pressurized and can explode when
being changed . Potential risk of injury!
- On veh icles equipped with gas discharge
bu lbs (Xenon light) life-threatening injuries
can resu lt from improper handling of the
h igh-vo ltage portions of such lamps!
- Only your authorized Audi dealer or quali­
fied workshop shou ld change the bulbs in
gas discharge lamps. There are parts with
sharp edges on the openings and on the bulb holders that can cause serious cuts. If
you are uncerta in about what to do, have
the work performed by an authorized Audi deale r or qualified workshop. Ser ious per­
sonal injury may result from improperly per­
formed work.
(D Tips
-If you st ill prefer to replace the light bulbs
yourself, be awa re that the engine compa rt­
ment is a hazardous area to work in~.&..
in
Working in the engine compartment on
page 322.
-It is best to ask your authorized Audi dealer
whenever you want to change a bulb.
