Audi Q7: Emissions control system
General information
WARNING
The temperature of the exhaust system is high, both when driving and after stopping the engine.
- Never touch the exhaust tail pipes once they have become hot. This could result in burns.
- Do not park your vehicle over flammable materials such as grass or leaves because the high temperature of the emissions system could start a fire.
- Do not apply underbody protectant in the exhaust system area, because this increases the risk of fire.
