A WARNING
Do not assume the roads are free of ice based
on the outside temperature display . Be aware
that there may be ice on roads even when the outside temperature is around 41 °F (+5 °C)
and that ice can increase the risk of accidents.
@ Tips
- Depending on vehicle equipment, the in ­
strument illumination (needles and gauges) may turn on when the lights are off and the
ignition is switched on . The illumination for
the gauges reduces automatically and even­
tually turns off as brightness outside in­
creases. This function reminds the driver to
turn the low beams on at the appropriate
time .
- You can select the units used for tempera­
ture, speed and other measurements in the
Infotainment system
c::> page 248.
- If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driv­
ing at very low speeds, the temperature dis­
played may be slightly higher than the ac­
tual temperature outside due to the heat ra­
diating from the engine .
- At temperatures below 41 °F ( +5 °C), a
snowflake symbol appears in front of the
temperature display
c::> A .
Coolant temperature indicator
The coolant temperature
display @c::> page 10,
fig. 3 or c::> page 10, fig. 4 only functions when
the ignition is switched on. To prevent engine
damage, please observe the following notes
about the temperature ranges.
Cold range
If only the LEDs at the bottom of the gauge turn
on, the engine has not reached operating tem­
perature yet . Avoid high engine speeds, full ac­
celeration and heavy engine loads.
Normal range
The engine has reached its operating tempera­
ture once the LEDs up to the center of the gauge
turn on. If
the. indicator light in the instru-
Cockpit overview
ment cluster display turns on, the coolant tem­
perature is too high
c::> page 30.
(D 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 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 .
@ Tips
Diesel engines: due to the high efficiency of
these engines, the engine may not always reach operating temperature in cold outside
temperatures . This is normal and not a cause
for concern.

Boost ind icator
Applies to: vehicles with Audi virtual cockpit
The boost indicator is only displayed in the sport

The current eng ine load (meaning the current
boost pressure) is indicated by a bar .
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in rev­
olutions per minute
(RPM).
The beginning of the red zone in the tachometer
indicates the maximum perm iss ible engine speed
for all gears once the engine has been broken in
and when it is warmed up to operating tempe ra­
ture. Before reaching this zone, you should sh ift
i n to the next h ighest gear, select the D/S selec­
tor lever position, or remove yo ur foot from the
accelerator pedal.
CD Note
The needle in the tachometer @ ¢ page 10,
fig . 3
o r¢ page 10, fig. 4 may only be in the
red area of the gauge for a short time or there
is a risk of engine damage . The location where
the red zone begins varies depending on the
eng ine.
@ For the sake of the environment
Upshifting early helps you to save fuel and re­
duces operating noise.
Fuel level
The display (J) ¢ page 10, fig. 3 or ¢ page 10,
fig . 4
only functions when the ignition is switch­
ed on . When the display has reached the reserve
mark, a red LED turns on and the

Data ¢ page 381.
CD Note
Never drive until the tank is comp letely emp­
ty. The irregu lar supply of fuel that results
from that can cause engine misfires . Uncom­
busted fue l w ill then enter the exhaust sys­
tem. This can cause overheating and damage
to the catalyt ic converter.
