Catalytic converter*
Applies to Audi A5s with petrol engine: The Audi A5 must only be used with unleaded petrol; otherwise the catalytic converter will be irreparably damaged.
Never allow the fuel tank to run completely dry, as the irregular supply of fuel can cause misfiring. This allows unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust system, which can cause overheating and damage to the catalytic converter.
Diesel particulate filter*
Applies to Audi A5s with diesel engine: The diesel particulate filter can filter out almost all soot particles contained in the exhaust gas. In normal driving conditions the filter is self-cleaning. Should the self-cleaning function of the filter not be able to operate, e.g. when the Audi A5 is continuously used only for short trips, the filter becomes obstructed with soot and the indicator lamp

- Because of the high temperatures which can occur in the emission control system (catalytic converter or diesel particulate filter), do not park the Audi A5 where the exhaust can come into contact with flammable materials under the car (e.g. on grass or at the forest edge). - Fire hazard!
- Do not apply any underseal agents in the area around the exhaust system - fire hazard!
