General information
Applies to vehicles: with diesel engine
On vehicles with se lective cata lytic reduction,
an urea solution (Ad Blue) is injected into the
exhaust system before a nitrogen oxide cata-
lytic converter to reduce nitrogen emissions.
The Ad Blue is stored in a separate tank in the
vehicle. The Ad Blue usage accounts for ap-
proximately 0.5% to 1.2% of the diesel fuel
that is used.
You must refill the Ad Blue or have it refilled
by you r authorized Audi dea ler or qualified
workshop as soon as the Ad Blue refill mes-
sage appears in the instrument cluster
