14 4 Speed
warning
You can store a road speed which is not to
be exceeded. As soon as you exceed that
speed by approximately 6 miles (1 0 kilome­
ters), a warning tone sounds and "MPH"
("k m/h ") appears in the disp lay.
Nota Always monitor the vehicle speed by
means of the speedometer. The speed
warning device may only be used as a re­
minder not to exceed the posted speed
limit. The
following describes how to store or de­
lete speed warnings 1 and 2.
Speed warning 1
The ''MPH" ("km/h ") disappears when you
reduce the speed below the stored speed.
Also, the ''MPH" goes out when the driving
speed increases approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) over the set speed for at least
1 0 seconds. The stored speed is not de­
leted.
Selec ting speed limit
Press the test button for the Auto-Check
control briefly when the desired speed is in­
dicated on the speedometer. The speed
warning symbol lights up when the button
is released to confirm that the selected
speed has been stored.
The set speed limit remains stored until
another speed is selected by pressing the
button again or until the memory is cleared.

switch also operates the front and rear
fog lights: it can pulled out when the side
lights or headlights are switched on.
To conserve battery power, the headlights
will go out automatically when the ignition
is turned off or while the starter is engaged.
High beam, low beam and headlight flasher,
see page 156.
Automatic headlight adjustment
After you start the engine, as well as while
the vehicle is moving, the headlights auto­
matically adjust themselves to the load and
angle of the vehicle (for example, during ac­
celeration or braking). This prevents unnec­
essary glare for on-com ing traffic.
If the system is not operating properly, the
warning symbol in the Auto Check Control
- see page 144- will come on. Daytime
running lights
(Canada models only)
When the ignition is switched on, the fog
lights, side marker lights and taillights will
automatically come on.
�W ARNING
Accidents can happen when you
cannot see the road ahead and
when you cannot be seen by other
motorists.
- Never use daytime running
lights to see where you're go­
ing. They are not bright enough
and won't let you see for enough
ahead for safety, especially at
dusk or when it's dark.
- Always turn on the headlights
so that you can see ahead and so
that others can see your car
from the back.

Headlight flasher
You can signal with your headlights by pull­
ing the lever toward the steering wheel.
When flashing headlights, the blue indicator
light will come on. Xenon
lights*
After starting the engine the Xenon head­
ligh ts are automatically adjusted to the load
and angle of the vehicle (for example, during
acceleration, braking). This prevents on­
coming traffic from experiencing unneces­
sary glare from your headlights.
If the system is not operating properly, a
warning symbol will be displayed in the
Auto Check Control -see page 144. CONTROLS

VEHICLE OPERA
TION-----------------------
Operate your vehicle safely
The condition of the vehicle is es­
sential for driving safety.
Therefore, always be sure to observe the
following points before you drive off:
• Check lights and turn signals.
• Check fuel level.
• Adjust the mirrors.
• Make sure that all lights and all
windows are clean.
• Make sure the air Intake slot be­
tween the engine hood and the
windshield is free of leaves, snow
and ice.
• Check warning and indicator
lights when starting the engine.
For driving safety, always follow the speci­
fied maintenance intervals in your Mainte­
nance booklet -especially for changing
the brake fluid, see page 242.
Yo ur personal driving style and your
attitude affect driving safety to a
very great extent.
19 4 Therefore,
for your own safety:
• Wear your safety belts and wear
them properly, even if you're just
driving in the city or to the corner
store -see page 14.
• Make sure that all passengers are
wearing their safety belts properly,
even those sitting in the rear -
see page 14.
Passengers not wearing safety belts endan­
ger not only themselves in case of an acci­
dent, but also the driver and other passen­
gers.
• Make sure that children always sit
on the rear seat properly restrained
by a res traint system appropriate
for their size and age.
• Never transport a child in a rear­
facing child or infant seat on the
front passenger seat.
• Adjust your seat so that you can
easily reach all controls as far away
from the airbag as possible but no
closer than 10 in. (25 em) -
see page 76. •
The seating position is very im­
portant for the airbag performance
- see page 29.
• Always adjust the head restra ints
to the correct height.
For maximum protection, the upper edge of
the head restraints should be at least at
eye level, or higher .
• Always make sure that the move­
ment of the pedals is not restricted
In any way-see page 102.
• Store luggage and light items
properly
in the luggage compartment ­
see page 88.
of the roof - see page 191.
• If you drink, do not drive.
The use of alcohol, drugs and certain medi­
cations will seriously impair perception,
reactions and driving ability, and substan­
tially increase the risk of an accident and
personal injury.

VE
HICL E OPER ATION ------------------------
• Tu rning off the ignition while the
vehicle is movin g-sea page 115 -or
• Other unusual operating condi­
tions.
Do not continue to operate your ve­
hicle under these conditions, as
otherwise fuel can reach the catalyt­
ic converter. This could result in
overheating of the converter, requir­
ing its replacement.
To assure eHiciant operation of the
Emission Control System:
• Have your vehicle maintained
properly and in accordance with the
service recommendations in your
Maintenance booklet.
Lack of proper maintenance as well
as improper usa of the vehicle will
impair the function of the emission
control system and could lead to
damage.
19 8 Cl
Do not alter or remove any com­
ponent of the Emission Control Sys­
ta.m unless approved by the
manufacturer.
• Do not alter or remove any device,
such as heat shields, switches, igni­
tion wires, valves, which are de­
signed to protect your vehicle 's
Emission Control System and other
important vehicle components.
Nota
Do not leave engine idling unat­
tended after starting. If warning
lights should come on to indicate
improper operation, they would go
unheeded. Extended idling also pro­
duces heat, which could result in
overheat ing or other damage to the
vehicle or other property. �W
ARNING
• Parking
Do not park or operate the vehicle
in areas where the hot exhaust sys­
tem may coma in contact with dry
grass, brush, fuel spill or other ma­
terial which can causa a fire.
• Undercoating
Do not apply additional undercoat­
ing or rustproofing on or near the
exhaust manifold, exhaust pipes,
cata lytic converter or heat shields.
During driving, the substance
used for undercoating could over­
heat and causa a fire.

Brake fluid
The brake fluid reservo ir is located on the
left of the plenum chamber at the back of
the engine compartm ent.
242 Checking
brake fluid level
The correct fluid level is important for the
proper functioning of the brake system. The
fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir should
always be between the "MAX" and
"MIN" markings.
The fluid level may drop slightly after some
time due to the automatic adjustment of the
brake pads. This is no cause for alarm.
• If the brake fluid level falls con­
siderably below the "MIN"
mark, the brake warning light will
coma on. Do not continue to operate
the vehicle. The complete brake sys­
tem should be thoroughly checked
by an authorized Audi Dealer or
another qualified workshop and the
cause corrected.
The brake warning lamp lights up to indicate
a low fluid level in the reservoir.
For more details see "Warning I Ind icator
lights," page 126.
Contact an authorized Audi Dealer
immediately. Changing
brake fluid
The brake fluid reservoir can be dif­
ficult to reach, therefore, we recom­
mend that you have the brake fluid
changed by your authorized Audi
Dealer. Your dealer has the correct
tools and know-how to do this for
you.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air. If
the water content in the brake fluid is too
high, corrosion in the brake system may re­
sult after a period of time. The boiling point
of the brake fluid will also decrease consid­
erably.

SERVICE----------------------
Fuses
A problem in the electrical system may be
caused by a blown fuse.
Fuses are arranged in a centra lized unit. The
unit is located behind a cover at the end of
the dash board on the left hand side.
The crank handle for manual operation of
the electric sunroof* is cli pped on the inside
of the fuse box cover.
Two spare fuses are provided in the row of
fuses on the right.
It is a good idea to keep a supply of spare
fuses on hand. They are available from your
Audi Dealer.
274 Replacing
a fuse
� WARNING
A fuse with too high amperage
could damage the electrical part
and cause a fire. Do not use a fuse
with a higher amperage than the
fuse being replaced. ·
• To avoid damaging the electrical
system. turn off all lights and acces­
sories and remove the ignition key
before replacing a fuse.
• Open the cover of the centralized unit by
inserting a screwdriver in the slot of the
cover and pry it off.
• Check the fuse listing on the next pages
to find out which fuse belongs to the com­
ponent that has failed.
• Remove blown fuse with the plastic clip
prov ided. The clip is located on the holder in
the fuse box. •
Replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the
same amperage. You can recognize the
blown fuse by the burnt metal strip.
• Reinstall the fuse box cover.
Notes
• If a fuse blows repeatedly. do not
keep on replacing it. The cause of
the short circuit or overload must be
found. On no account should fuses
be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin
foil or wire) as this may cause seri­
ous damage elsewhere in the electri­
cal circuit or cause fire.
• Some of the equipment listed is found on
certa in models only or may be options.
