@ Tips
The instrument illumination for the needles
and dia ls turns on when the ignition is turned
on and the lights are turned off. The illumina­
tion for the gauges reduces automat ica lly and
eventually turns off as brightness outside in­
creases . T his function reminds the drive r to
turn the low beams on at the approp riate
time.

on. To prevent engine damage, please observe
the following notes about the temperature rang­
es.
Cold ran ge
If the needle is at the bottom of the gauge, the
engine has not reached operating temperature
yet. Avoid high eng ine speeds, full accelerating
and heavy engine loads.
Normal range
The engine has reached operating temperature
when the needle moves into the center of the
gauge under norma l driving condit ions. The nee­
dle may move farther to the right on the gauge
with heavier engine load at hig h outside temper ­
atu res . If the needle is far ove r on the r ight side
of the gauge and the. in dicator light turns on
i n the instrument cluster, then the coolant tem­
peratu re is too high

(D Note
- Aux ilia ry headlights and ot her accessories in

high outside temperatures and heavy en­
gine load .
- The front spoiler also he lps to distribute
cooling air correctly while driving. If the
spoiler is damaged, the cooling effect will
be impaired and the risk of the engine over­
heating will increase. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa­
cility for assistance.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in rev­
olutions per minute (RPM) .
You should shift to the next lowest gear when
the engine speed is below 1,SOO RPM . The begin­
ning of the red zone in the tachometer indicates
the maximum permissible engine speed for all
gears once the engine has been broken in and
when it is warmed up to operating temperat ure.
Before reaching the red zone, you shou ld shift in­
to the next higher gear, choose the Dor S selec­
tor lever position, or remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
CD Note
The needle in the tachometer @Q page 8,
fig. 3 may only be in the red area of the gauge
for a short time or there is a risk of engine
damage.
@ For the sake of the environment
Upshifting ea rly helps you to save fuel and re­
duces operating noise.
Fuel level
The fuel level indicator only operates when the
ignition is switched on.
The
tD ¢ page 15 turns on if the reserve quan ­
tity of fue l is reached.
The fuel tank capacity of your vehicle is listed in
the
Technical Data section ¢ page 210.
CD Note
Never drive until the tank is completely emp­
ty. The irregular supply of fuel that results
Instruments and indicator lights
from that can cause engine misfires . Uncom­
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys­
tem. This can cause overheat ing and damage
to the catalytic converter.
Odometer
Fig. 4 I n st ru me nt cluster : odometer
Trip odometer and odometer
The trip odometer @ shows the distance driven
since it was last reset. It can be used to measure
short distances.
T he trip odometer can be reset to zero by press­
ing the
10.01 reset button @~ page 8, fig. 3.
The odometer @shows the total distance that
the vehicle has been driven.
Malfunction indicator
If there is a malfunction in the instrument clus­
ter,
DEF will appear in the trip odometer display.
Have the malfunction corrected as soon as possi­
ble.
Time/date display
You can switch between the quartz clock or the
GPS controlled clock* depending on the vehicle
equipment. For more information, refer to your
MMI Operating Manual.
Outside temperature display
The instrument cluster display shows the outside
temperature. At temperatures below 42 °F ( +S
°C), a snowflake symbol appears in front of the
temperature display . .,.
9

Instruments and indicator lights
If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driving at
very low speeds, the temperature displayed may
be slightly higher than the actua l temperature
outside due to the heat radiating from the en­
g ine.
A WARNING
Do not assume the roads are free of ice based
on the outs ide temperat ure display . Be aware
that there may be ice on roads even when the
outside temperature is around 42 °F (+5 °C)
a nd that ice can increase the risk of accidents .
You can set the un its used for temperat ure,
speed and other measurements in the Info­
tainment system.
Indicator lights
Description
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
blink or turn on . They indicate funct ions or ma l­
functions . With some indicator lights , messages
may appear and war ning signals may sound .
Some indicator lights are shown in multiple col­
ors in the instrument cluster display.
