Tips
- Running your engine while refuelling
may cause vapors to escape or even
cause fue l to spill out of the tank. This
would then shut off the fuel nozzle be-
fore the tank is full.
- Do not refuel your vehicle with the igni-
tion switched on. The fuel gauge may
otherwise not indicate the correct fuel
level after refuelling.
- Diesel vehicles* are equipped with a die-
sel m isfueling protector. It allows the
vehicle to be fueled only with a diesel
fuel pump nozzle. A worn or damaged
nozzle or 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 nozz le before inserting it in the fue l
filler neck, use a different fuel pump or
see your authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized repair facility for assistance.
- The fuel filler flap of your vehicle is not
locked when you lock the vehicle from
the inside.
