The illumination for the instrument cluster lights up whenever you
switch on the ignition with the
vehic le headlights off. As the
daylight fades, the instrument cluster illumination likewise dims
automatically and will go out completely when the outside light is
very low. This feature is meant to remind you to switch on the head­
lights when outside light conditions become poor. •
Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant gauge=> fig. 2 G) only works when the ignition
is on. To prevent damage to your engine, please note the following
important points:
Engine cold
As long as th e needle remains at or close to the bottom of the
gauge, the engine still has not reached its operating temperature .
Avoid high engine speeds , heavy engine loads and heavy throttle
applications.
Normal temperature
When the engine has reached its operating temperature, the needle
will move into the middle of the gauge and remain there. If the
engine is working hard at high outside temperatures, the needle
may rise up . This is no need to worry as long as the
_f_ warning light
in the instrument cluster does not illuminate . .,

Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep your driving
speed below a set speed limit.
The speed warning system warns the driver if he exceeds a previ ­
ously stored maximum speed. A warning tone wi ll sound as soon as the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed by about 3 mph (3 km/h). At
th
e same time, a warning symbol appears in the display.
The speed warning system has
two warning thresholds that func­
tion independently of each other and that have somewhat different
purposes:
Speed warning 1
You can use speed warning 1 to set the maximum speed while you
are driving. This setting will remain in effect until you turn off the
ignition, assuming that you have not changed or reset the setting.
Th e speed warning symbol
9 (USA models)/ 8 (Canada models) in
the warning 1 display appears when you exceed the maximum
speed . It goes out when the speed falls below the stored maximum
speed.
The speed warning symbol will also go out if the speed
exceeds the
stored maximum speed by more than about 25 mph ( 40 km/h) for at
least 10 seconds. The stored maximum speed is deleted.
Setting speed warning 1
~ page 39 .
Speed warning 2
Storing warning 2 is recommended if you always want to be
reminded of a certain speed, for example when you are traveling in
a country that has a general maximum speed limit, or if you do not
want to exceed a specified speed for winter tires.
The speed warning 2 symbol,
8, (USA modelsl/ 8, (Canada models)
appears in the display when you exceed the stored speed limit.
Un like warning 1, it wil l not go out unti l the vehicle speed drops
below the stored speed limit.
Setting speed warning 2
~ page 39.
[ i ] Tips
Even though your vehicle is equipped with a speed warning system,
you should still watch the speedometer to make sure you are not
driving faster than the speed limit. •

Speed warning 1: setting a speed limit
Warning threshold 1 is set by the ( CHECK) button.
Storing the maximum speed
- Drive at the desired maximum speed .
Fig. 20 CHECK button

cluster
- Briefly press the (CHECK ] button => fig. 20.
Resetting the maximum speed
- Drive the vehicle at a speed of at least 3 mph
(5 km/h)
- Press the
I CHECK] button for more than 2 seconds.
The speed warning symbol 8 (USA modelsl/ 0 (Canada models) will
appear briefly in the display when you release the [ CHECK] button
to indicate that the maximum speed has been stored successfully .
The maximum speed remains stored until it is changed by pressing
the [ CHECK] button again briefly or until it is deleted by a lengthy
push on the button . •

Trip computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on current and
average fuel mileage, average speed, fuel range and
driving time.
Fig . 22 T rip computer
d isp lay: Aver age f uel
m ileage
The following driving information is continuously evaluated by the
trip computer and can be disp layed sequential ly in the instrument
cluster display .
Fuel ran ge
The estimated cruising range in miles (km) appears in the display.
This tells you how far your vehicle will be able to trave l on the
current tank of fuel and with the same driving sty le. The display
changes in increments of 6 miles (10 km).
The cru ising range is ca lculated based on the fuel consumption for
the last 18 miles (30 kml. If you drive conservatively, the cruising range will increase.
A ve ra g e fu el m ilea ge
The average fuel economy in MPG (1/100 km) since you las t cleared
the memory appears in this display. You can use this disp lay to
adjust your driving technique to achieve a desired mileage.
C urr ent fu el mi leage
The instantaneous fuel consumption in m iles per gallon {1/100 km)
is shown in this display. You can use this disp lay to adjust your
driving technique to achieve a desired mileage .
Fuel consumption is recalculated at intervals of 33 yards (30
meters). When the vehicle is stationary, the most recent fuel
consumption is displayed.
A ver age s peed
The average speed in mph (km/h) s ince the last time the display was
reset appears in the display .
Elapse d tim e
The length of time that you have been driving since you last reset
the memory appears in this display.
[ i ] T ip s
• Fuel consumptions (average and current), range and speed are
displayed in metric units on Canadian models.
• All stored values will be lost if the vehicle battery is
disconnected. •

Memories
The trip computer is equipped with two fully automatic
memones.
Fig . 23 Trip computer

You can switch between the trip computer 1 and 2 by pressing the
Reset button
@ ::::> fig. 24
You can tell which memory level is currently active by the number in the display ::::> fig. 23. The data from the single -trip memory
(memory level 1) is being displayed if a
1 appears in the display . If a
2 is shown, then the data from the total -trip memory is being
displayed (memory level 2).
Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1)
The single-trip memory stores the trip information from the time the
ignition is turned on until it is turned off. If the trip is continued
within 2 hours from the time the ignition was turned off, the new
data will be included in the calculation of the current trip informa ­
tion. If the trip is interrupted for
more than 2 hours the memory is
reset automatically .
Total-trip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total -trip memory is not reset
automatically . This permits you to evaluate your driving data for the
entire period between manual resets .•

instrument cluster display . If one of the pieces of driver information
is turned
off, that driver in formation will not be shown in the display.
The information will continue to be calculated by the trip computer
and can be turned back
on at any time. •
Tire pressure monitoring system
General notes l )
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
monthly when co ld and inflated to the inflation pressure recom­
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres­
sure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inf lated . Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illu­
minates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under -inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte ­
nance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire .,_

lights will go off and only the side marker lights will be on.
After starting the engine, the headlights are automatically adjusted* to the load and angle of the vehicle (for example, during
acceleration, braking). This prevents oncoming traffic from experi­
encing unnecessary headlight glare from your headlights.
If the system is not operating properly, a warning symbol in the
Auto -Check Control is displayed

Warm and cold
Climate control
Description
The air conditioner is fully automatic and is designed to
maintain a comfortable and uniform climate inside the
vehicle.
We recommend the following settings:
- Set the temperature to 72 °F (+22 °C).
- Press the [AUTO
I button.
With this setting, you attain maximum comfort in the least amount
of time. Change this setting, as desired, to meet your personal
needs .
The climate controls are a combination of heating, ventilation and cooling systems, which automatically reduce humidity and cool the
air inside your vehicle.
The air temperature, air flow and air distribution are automatically
regulated to achieve and maintain the desired passenger compart­
ment temperature as quickly as possible.
The system automatically compensates for changes in outside
temperature and for the intensity of the sunlight entering the
vehicle. We recommend you use the
Automatic mode:::::, page 126
for year -round comfort.
Please note the following:
Turn on the air conditioner to reduce humidity in the vehicle. This
also prevents the windows from fogging up.
When the outside temperature is high and the air is very humid,
condensation from the evaporator may drip under the vehicle . Th is
is normal and does not indicate a leak.
Controls and equip ­
ment
If the outside temperature is low, the fan normally only switches to
a higher speed once the engine coolant has warmed up sufficiently.
The air conditioner temporarily switches off when you drive off from
a standstill using full throttle to save engine power.
The compressor also switches off if the coolant temperature is too
high, so that the engine can be adequately cooled under extreme
loads.
Air pollutants filter
The air pollutants filter (a combined particle filter and activated
charcoal filter) reduces or prevents outside air pollution (dust, or
pollen) from entering the vehicle. The air is also filtered in air recir­
culation mode.
The air pollutants filter must be changed at the intervals specified in your Warranty
& Maintenance booklet, so that the air conditioner
can properly work.
If you drive your vehicle in an area with high air pollution, the filter
may need to be changed more frequently than specified in your
Audi Warranty
& Maintenance booklet . If in doubt, ask your autho ­
rized Audi Service Advisor for advice.
Key coded settings
The air conditioner settings selected are automatically stored and assigned to the key being used. When the vehicle is started, the air
conditioner automatically selects the settings assigned to that key.
This way every driver will maintain his/her own personal settings
and does not have to reset them manually.
If a different driver uses your key and changes the air conditioner
settings, the latest adjustments will erase and replace the settings
you have stored. _.,
