explosive and increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
- Follow legal requirements when using,
storing and transporting fuel containers.
- Make sure the fuel container conforms to
industry standards (A NSI/ASTM F852-86).
CD Note
- Remove any overflowing fuel from the vehi-
cle
paint immediately.
- Never drive
until the fuel tank is completely
empty. The irregular supply of fuel that re-
sults from that can cause engine misfires.
Uncombusted
fuel will enter th e exhau st
system and increase the risk of damage to
the catalyt ic converter.
@ For the sake of the environment
If the fuel nozzle is used correct ly, it will indi-
cate that the tank is full the first time it
switches off automatically. Do not try to add
more fuel, because it can spill over. Also, the
expansion space in the tank will fill, which can
result in fuel spilling out when it becomes
warm and polluting the environment.
Tips
If adverse weather conditions cause the fuel
filler door to freeze shut, press on the cente r
of the filler door with the heel of your hand
and then try opening it again.
(0 Tips
- If the engine is running while fueling, va-
pors
can escape or the fuel can spill over.
Because
of this, the fuel nozzle switc hes off
before the tank is full.
-
Do not fuel the vehicle when the ignition is
switched on. Otherwise, the fuel gauge may
not show the correct level after fueling the
vehicle.
- Your vehicle
is equipped with a misfueling
guard.
It allows the vehicle to be fueled on-
ly with the correct fuel pump nozzle.
- A worn
or damaged nozzle or a nozzle that
is too small may not be able to open the
diesel misfueling protector. If this is the
234
case, try turning the nozzle before inserting
it in the fuel filler neck, use a different fuel
pump or see an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility for assis-
tance.
- The misfueling guard does not open when
adding fuel from a fuel container. When re-
fueling with a reserve canister, you
must
use the funnel stored in the luggage com-
partment qpoge 234, fig. 179.
