a) Tips
The instrument illumination for the needles
and dials turns on when the ignition is turned
on and the lights are turned off. The illumina­
t ion fo r the dials reduces automatically and
eventua lly turns off as brightness outside in­
creases . This function reminds the driver to
turn the headlights on at the appropriate
time.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coo lant gauge (D Q page 10, fig. 3
only works when the ign ition is on. To prevent
10
damage to your engine, please note the follow­
ing important points:
Engine cold
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, heavy en­
gine loads and heavy throttle applications.
Normal temperature
The engine has reached its operating tempera­
ture once the LEDs up to the center of the gauge
turn on under normal driving conditions. The
LEDs higher up may turn on when the engine is
under heavy load or the exterior temperature is
high . Th is is no need to worry as long as the.
warning light in the instrument cluster does not
ill uminate .
If the LEDs in the upper area of the
display and the indicator light. in the instru­
ment cluster display turn on, the coolant temper­
atu re is too high
Qpage 15.
A WARNING
-Always observe the warning in <9page 216,
before opening the hood and checking the
engine coolant level.

Instruments and indicator lights
-The engine compartment of any motor vehi­
cle is a potentially hazardous area. Before
you check anything in the engine compart­ ment, stop the engine and let it cool down.
Always exercise extreme caution when work­ ing under the hood~

check if you can release t he parking
brake. Afte r rele asing the par king br ake, ca re­
fully drive to your author ized Audi dealer im ­
mediately to have the malfunction corrected . If
you cannot re lease the parking brake, see k pro­
fessional assistance.
- I f the ind icator light and the message appear
while dri ving , the emergency braking functio n
may not be available. It may not be possible to
set the parking brake or re lease it once it has
been set. Seek profess ional assistance .
( U SA mode ls) : If the warning light

riJ appear togethe r, immediately
contact your author ized Audi dealer or qualif ied
workshop to have all b rake pads inspected

When the light comes on, an audible warning sig­
nal is also given.
A WARNING
- Always observe the warnings in
c::> page 216, before open ing the hood and
checking the brake fluid .
- Dr iving with low brake fluid is a safety haz­
ard . Stop the car and get profess ional assis -
tance .
1111>

-If the 1111 (USA models) . (Canada mod­
els) brake system indicator light turns on to­
gether with the ABS and ESC indicator
lights, the ABS/ESC regulating function may
have failed. Functions that stabilize the ve­
hicle are no longer available . This could
cause the vehicle to swe rve and increase the
risk of sliding. Drive carefully to the nearest
authorized Audi dealer or other qualified
workshop and have the ma lfunction correct ­
ed.
- If the brake warn ing/ indicator light does
not go out after a few seconds and the park­
ing brake is re leased, or lights up while you
are driving, the flu id level in the brake fluid
reservoir is too low. If you believe that it is
safe to do so, proceed immediately at low
speed to the nearest authorized Audi dealer
or qualified repair facility and have the brake system inspected.
- Always keep in mind that after several brake
applications, you will need greater pressure
on the brake pedal to stop your vehicle. Do
not rely on strained brakes to respond w ith
maximum stopping power in critical situa­
tions . You must allow for increased braking
distances. The extra distance used up by
fading brakes could lead to an accident.
PARK /(® ) Electromechanical parking brake
The warning/indicator light monitors the elec ­
tromechanical parking brake.
If the indicator light- (USA models)/ .
(Canada models) turns on, the parking brake was
set .

an indicator for a low engine oil level. Do
not rely on it. Instead, check the oil level in
your engine at regular intervals, preferably each time you refuel, and always before
going on a long trip.

Driving
There must be at least 10 inches (25 cm) be­
tween your chest and the center of the steering
wheel. If you cannot sit more than 10 inches (25
cm) from the steer ing wheel, see if adaptive
equipment is available to help you reach the ped­
als and increase the distance from the steering
wheel.
For detai led information on how to adjust the
driver's seat, see
¢ page 54 .
In vehicles with the memory function*, the steer­
ing column sett ings are stored together with the
seat position.
A WARNING
Improper use of steer ing whee l adjustment
and improper seating position can cause ser i­
ous pe rsonal injury.
- Adjust the steering wheel column only when
the vehicle is not moving to prevent loss of
vehicle control.
- Adjust the driver's seat or steering wheel so
that there is a minimum of 10 inches (25
cm) between your chest and the steer ing
wheel
r::.> page 126, fig. 143. If you cannot
mainta in this min imum distance, the airbag
system cannot protect you properly.
- If phys ica l limitations prevent you from sit­
t ing 10 inches (25 cm) or more from the
steering wheel , check with your authorized
Audi dealer to see if adaptive equ ipment is
available.
- If the steering wheel is aligned with your
face, the supp lemental driver's airbag can­
not provide as m uch protection in an acci­
dent. Always make sure that the steering
wheel is aligned w ith your chest.
- Always hold the steer ing whee l with your
hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi­
tions to reduce the risk of personal injury if
the driver's airbag deploys .
- Never hold the steer ing wheel at the 12
o'clock posit ion or w ith your hands inside
the steering wheel rim or on the steering
wheel hub . Holding the steer ing whee l the
wrong way can cause ser ious injuries to the
hands, arms and head if the driver's airbag
deploys.

for different system-related reasons.
Fig. 84 Instrument cluste r: En gin e stop temporarily un·
available
Engine does not switch off
Before and during each stop phase, the system
checks if certain conditions have been met. For
example, the engine will not switch
off in the fol­
lowing situations :
- The engine has not reached the minimum re­
quired temperature for Start-Stop mode.
- The interior temperature selected by the A/C
system has not been reached.
- The outside temperature is extremely high/low.
- The windshield is being defrosted®.
- The parking system* is be switched on.
- The battery charge level is too low.
- The steering wheel is turned at a sharp angle or
is moving .
- After engaging the reverse gear .
- On sharp inclines.
@j also appears in the instrument cluster dis­
play.
Engine automatically restarts
The standard Start-Stop mode will be canceled
during a stop phase in the following situations .
The engine restarts without any action by the
driver.
80
- The vehicle rolls, for example while on a slope.
- The interior temperature varies from the tem-
perature selected in the A/C system.
- The windshield is being defrosted®.
- The brake pedal is pressed several times in a
row.
- The battery charge level becomes too low.
- High power consumption.
The engine can turn
off again when the condi­
tions for Start-Stop mode are met.
Ignition is switched off automatically
To prevent the battery from draining, the igni­
tion
will switch off automatically under the fol·
lowing conditions:
- The vehicle has already been driven.
- The Start-Stop-System has stopped the engine.
- The driver's door is opened.
- The driver's safety belt is removed.
- The brake pedal is not pressed down .
- The vehicle is stationary.
In this case, the activated low beam is replaced
by the parking light. The parking lights will
switch
off after approximately 30 minutes or
when you lock the vehicle.
If the Start-Stop-System has not turned off the
engine or if you have switched the Start-Stop­
System
off manually, the ignition will not be au­
tomatically switched
off and the engine will con­
tinue to run
cc> .&. .
A WARNING
Never allow the engine to run in confined
spaces, because this increases the risk of as­
phyxiation .
(D Tips
-If you shift into the D or N position after
shifting into reverse, the vehicle must be
driven faster than 6 mph (10 km/h) in order
for the engine to switch off again .
