-When switching the ignition on, the needles
in the instrument cluster swing upward
briefly.
- The illumination for the instrument cluster
lights up whenever you switch on the igni
tion with the
vehicle headlights off. As the
daylight fades, the instrument cluster illu
mination likewise dims automatically and
will go out completely when the outside
light is very low . This feature is meant to re
mind you to switch on the headlights when
outside light conditions become poor.
8 Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant
gauge¢ page 8, fig. 3@ on ly
works when the ign ition is on . To prevent dam
age to your engine, please note the following im portant points:
Engine cold
If the needle is at or close to the bottom of the
gauge, the engine has not yet reached its operat
ing temperature. Avoid high engine speeds,
heavy engine loads, and heavy throttle applica
tions .
Normal temperature
When the engine has reached its operating tem
perature, the needle will move to the middle of
the gauge and remain there. If the engine is
working hard at high outside temperatures, the
needle may move higher on the gauge . This is not
a cause for concern as long as the . warning
li ght i n the instrument cluster display does not il
luminate . If the . warning lig ht in the instru
ment cluster display flashes, this can mean one
of two things : either the coolant
temperature is
too high, or the coolant
level is too low

ABS /(@) Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
This warning/indicator light monitors the ABS
and the electronic differential lock (EDL) .
The warning/indicator light fIE) (USA models)/
ti] (Canada models) will come on for a few sec
onds when the ign it ion is switched on. The light
will go out after an automatic check sequence is
comp leted.
There is a malfunction in the ABS when:
-The warning/indicator light does not illuminate
when you switch the ign it ion on .
- The warning/indicator light does not go out af
ter a few seconds.
- The warning/indicator light illuminates while driving .
The ESC indicator light a lso illuminates if there is
a ma lfunction in the ABS. The message
Stabiliza
tion control (ESC): Fault! See owner's manual
also appears in the instrument cluster display
and a warning tone sounds.
The brake system will still respond even with
out the assistance of the ABS system. See your
authorized Audi dealer as soon as possible to re
store full braking performance.

Malfunction in the brake system
If the brake warning light r:::;, page 13 and the ABS
warn ing illuminate
together there may be a mal
function in the ABS, and there may also be a ma l
function in the brake system itself
q .&. . The ABS
will not work and you will notice a change in
braking respon se and performance.

A WARNING
- If the fIE) (USA models)/ tl] (Canada mod
els) warning light does not go out, or if it
comes on while dr iv ing, the ABS system is
not working proper ly . The vehicle can then
be stopped only with the standard brakes
(without ABS). You will not have the protec
tion ABS provides. Contact your authorized
Audi dealer as soon as possible.
- USA models: If the 1111 warning light and
the
9 warning light come on together, the
rear wheels could lock up first under hard
braking. Rear wheel lock-up can cause loss
of vehicle control and an acc ident. Have your
veh icle repaired immediately by your au
thorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop .
Drive slowly and avoid sudden, hard brake
applications .
-Canada models: If the brake warn ing light
• and the ABS warning light
tlJ come on
together, the rear whee ls could lock up first
under hard b raking. Rear whee l lock-up can
cause loss of vehicle control and an acci
dent . Have your vehicle repaired immediate
ly by your authorized Audi dea ler or quali
fied workshop. Drive slowly and avoid sud
den, hard brake applications.
t!i I !i: Safety systems
The fl (USA models)/ EI (Canada mode ls) indi
cator light monitors the safety systems (e.g. a ir
bags, pretensioners) and illum inates for a few
seconds each time you switch the ignition on.
If the
II (USA models) tEI (Canada models) in
dicator light does not go out, or if it illuminates
wh ile you are driving, or if it starts to blink, then
there is a malfunct ion somewhere in the system .
If the light does not illuminate when you switch
the ignition on, this also means there is a mal
function.
A WARNING ~
If yo u have a ma lf u nction in the safety sys-
tems, contact your authorized Aud i dealer im
mediately. Otherwise the safety systems may
not work properly in an accident.

Auto Check Control
Some functions and vehicle components are
scanned for their operating status when you
switch the ignition on and while you are driving. Malfunctions or required service procedures are
signaled audibly and indicated by red and yellow
illum inated symbols and reminders in the dis
play.
A WARNING
--
- Never rely exclus ively on the outside tem
pe rature display to determine if a road sur
face is icy or not. Keep in m ind that road
surfaces, especially bridges and overpasses,
could be ice covered and slippery even at an
outside temperat ure above 41 °f (+S °C).
- Always remember, even if the "snowflake"
symbol (ice warning) does not appear in the
display, black ice could be on the road.
- Always reduce your speed and dr ive with
specia l care in cold weather conditions when
the chance of encountering icy road surfaces
increases.
(j) Tips
If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are driv
ing at a very low speed, the temperature
shown in the disp lay might be slightly higher
than the actual outside temperature. This is
caused by the heat being radiated from the
engine.

Driver information system
On-board computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on cur
rent and average fuel mileage, average speed,
fu el range and driving time.
F ig. 9 Tri p computer display: Average fu el mileage
~ 9 a: CX) m
The fo llow ing information is contin uously evalu
ated by the trip computer and can be displayed
sequent ia lly in the instrument cluster display:
Fuel range
The estima ted cruising range i n miles (km) ap
pea rs in the disp lay . Th is tells you how far your
veh icle w ill be able to travel on the c urrent tank
of fuel and with the same driv ing style. The dis
p lay changes in increments of 5 miles (10 km).
T he cruising range is calcu lated based on the fuel
consumption for the last 18 m iles (30 km). If you
drive conse rvatively, the cru is ing range will in
crease.
Average fuel mileage
T he avera ge f uel economy in M PG (l/ 100 k m)
since you last clea red the memory a ppears in this
d isp lay . You can use this display to adj ust your
driving technique to achieve a desired mileage .
Current fuel mileage
The instant aneous f ue l cons umption in miles per
ga llon (l/100 km) is shown in this display. Yo u
can use t his disp lay to adjust yo ur driving techni
que to ach ieve a desired mileage .
F ue l cons umption is recalcu lated at inte rv a ls of
33 y ards ( 30 meters) . T his d isp lay sw itches to
ga llons/ho ur ( liters/hour) when the vehicle is not
mov ing.

display.
Distance
The distance that has been covered since the last
time the memory was cleared appears in the dis play.
0) Tips
- Fuel consumptio ns (ave rage and current),
range and speed are disp layed in metric
units on Canad ian mode ls.
- All stored values will be lost if the vehicle
bat tery is discon nect ed.
Memories
The trip computer is equipped with two fully au
tomatic memories as well as an efficiency pro
gram*.

Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1)
The single-trip memo ry stores the trip informa
tion from the tim e the igni tion is turned on until
it is turned
off. If the tr ip 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 information.
If the trip is inter
rupted for
more than 2 hours the memory is re
set automat ically.
Total -trip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the single-trip memory, the tota l-trip
memory is not reset automatically. This permits
you to evaluate your driving data for the entire
period between manual resets.
