Fuel delivery
The Audi Q5 has a 19.8 gal (75 liter) single-chamber fuel tank similar to the one used in the 2009 Audi A4. This type of
fuel tank provides the following advantages:
All versions of the Audi Q5 fuel tank use a baffle to suppress fuel sloshing inside the tank. The baffle is welded to the
top and bottom halves of the fuel tank during the production process. In addition to reducing fuel sloshing, the baffle
also reinforces the tank chamber.

include the jukebox function, the speech control system with whole-word input and a 3D map display for navigation.
The greatest innovation of the MMI Navigation plus system is the fact that it combines previously independent control
modules into a single module - Information Electronics Control Module 1 J794.
The Audi Sound System and the Bang & Olufsen Sound System are optional.

Antenna diagnostics
All antennas in the Audi Q5 have full diagnostic capability. Open circuits in the antenna system can not only be
detected between the tuner and amplifier but now through the amplifier up to the antenna.
This means there is no need for time consuming analysis of reception strength in order to trace a customer complaint.
(See example below in which there is an open circuit to the rear window antenna.)
