The instrument illumination for the needles
and dials 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 . This function reminds the driver to
turn the low beams on at the appropriate
time.
Coolant temperature indicator

on. To prevent engine damage, please observe
the following notes about the temperature rang­
es.
Cold range
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 . This is no cause for concern as long as the
• indicator light in the instrument cluster does
not turn on.
If the needle is far over on the r ight side of the
gauge and the. indicator light turns o n in the
i nst rument cluster, then the coolant tempera­
ture is too high

CD Note
- Auxiliary headlights and other accessories in
front of the cooling-air intake impair the
cooling effect of the coolant. This increases
the risk of the engine overheating during
high outside temperatures and heavy en-
gine load.
- The front spoiler also helps to distribute
cooling air correctly wh ile driving. If the
spo iler is damaged, the cooling effect will
be impai red and the risk of the engine over­
heating will increase. See an authorized
A udi dealer or authori zed Aud i Service Fa­
cility for assistance .
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in rev ­
olutions per minute
(RPM).
You shou ld shift to the next lowest gear when
the eng ine speed is be low 1,500 RPM. The beg in­
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 temperature.
Before reaching this zone, you should sh ift into
the next highest gear, select the D selector lever position, or remove your foot from the accelera­
tor pedal.
CD Note
The needle in the tachometer @
Q page 8,
fig. 3 may only be in the red zone of the
gauge for a short t ime or the engine could be
damaged. The location where the red zone
begins va ries depend ing on the eng ine.
@) For the sake of the environment
Upshifting early helps you to save fuel and re­
duce operating noise.
Fuel level
The fuel leve l ind icator only ope rates when the
i gnit io n is switched on. The
tD Qpage 15
turns on if the reserve quant ity of fuel is reac hed.
In strum ents an d ind ic a to r ligh ts
The fue l tank capacity of your vehicle is listed in
the Techni cal Data section
Q page 216.
(D Note
Neve r dr ive until the tank is comp lete ly emp­
ty. The irregu la r supply of fuel that res ults
from that can cause engine misfires . Uncom­
busted fuel w ill then enter the exhaust sys­
tem. This can cause overheat ing and damage
to the catalyt ic converter.
Time/date display
You can switch between the quartz clock or the GPS controlled clock* depend ing on the vehicle
equipment. For mo re information, refe r to you r
MM I Operating Manual.
Outside temperature display
T he instrument cluster display shows the outside
temperature. At temperatures be low 42 °F ( +S
°C), a snowflake symbo l appears in front of the
temperature display.
If your vehicle is stationary or if you a re driving at
very low speeds, the temperature displayed may be slight ly higher than the actual temperature
o utside due to the heat radiating from the en ­
gine.
A WARNING
.-
Do not assume the roads are free of ice based
on the outside temperature d isplay. Be aware
that there may be ice on roads even when the
outside tempe rature is a round 42 °F (+5 °C)
a nd that i ce can increase t he risk of a cc idents.
(0 Tips
You can set the units used for temperature,
speed and othe r measurements in the Info­
tai nment system.

!"-" , Engine speed lim itation
Applies to: vehicles with engine speed limitation
(I! Maximum engine speed XXXX RPM
The engine speed is automatically limited to the
speed displayed in the driver information system.
This protects the engine from overheat ing .
The engine speed limitation deactivates once the engine is no longer in the critical temperature
range and you have released the accelerator ped­
al once .
If the engine speed limitation was activated by
an engine control malfunction, the
