Secondary Air Injection (AIR), servicing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2009 Audi S4, 2008 Audi S4, 2007 Audi S4, 2006 Audi S4, and 2005 Audi S4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system heats up the engine faster, and thereby the catalytic converter achieves operation readiness earlier after a cold start.
