Coolant temperature
display
The coolant temperature display @) > page 11
only functions when the ignition is switched on.
To reduce the risk of engine damage, please ob-
serve 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 accel-
eration, 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 i | indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster display turns on, the coolant tem-
perature is too high > page 209.

) In preparation at the time of printing.
CG) Note
— Auxiliary headlights and other accessories in
front of the air intake impair the cooling ef-
fect of the coolant. This increases the risk of
the engine overheating during high outside
temperatures and heavy engine 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 Au-
di dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility
for assistance.
Tachometer
The tachometer 2) > page 11 displays the engine
speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). The be-
ginning of the red zone in the tachometer indi-
cates the maximum permissible engine speed for
all gears once the engine has been broken in. Be-
fore reaching the red zone, you should shift into
the next higher gear, select the "D" or "S" gear
lever position, or remove your foot from the ac-
celerator pedal.
Engine speed limitation
If the Ay indicator light turns on, the engine will
be automatically limited to the RPM displayed in
the instrument cluster. This protects the engine
from overheating.
The engine speed limitation deactivates once the
engine is no longer in the critical temperature
range and you have released the accelerator ped-
al.
If the engine speed limitation was activated by
an engine control malfunction, the By indicator
light also turns on. Make sure the engine speed
does not go above the speed displayed, for exam-
ple when downshifting. Drive to an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility im-
mediately to have the malfunction corrected.

Instrument cluster

@) Note
The tachometer needle should only be in the
red zone briefly: Otherwise, this increases the
risk of engine damage. The location where the
red zone begins varies depending on the en-
gine.
Odometer
The trip odometer and odometer are displayed in
the status line ©) > page 11.
The trip odometer shows the distance driven
since it was last reset. It can be used to measure
short distances. The odometer shows the total
distance that the vehicle has been driven.
Resetting the trip odometer
> Select in the instrument cluster: Vehicle func-
tions tab > [=] button > Reset mi.
@) Tips
Distances are displayed in mi (miles) or km
(kilometers).
Outside temperature
display
The outside temperature is displayed in the sta-
tus line @) > page 11.
If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driving at
very low speeds, the temperature displayed in
the instrument cluster may be slightly higher
than the actual temperature outside due to heat
radiating from the engine.
At temperatures below 41 °F (+5 °C), a snowflake
symbol appears in front of the temperature dis-
play > A.

ZA\ 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.

Resetting values to zero
Requirement: the Consumption, Short-term
memory, or Long-term memory display must be
selected.
> To reset the values in one of the memories to

the multifunction steering wheel for one sec-
ond, or

Depending on the vehicle equipment, you can call
up the following displays in the on-board com-
puter one at a time by turning the left thumb-
wheel on the multifunction steering wheel:
— Time and date > page 195
— Average consumption > page 15
— Short-term memory overview
— Long-term memory overview
— Energy consumers > page 15
— Driver assistance
Short-term memory and long-term memory
The short-term memory collects driving informa-
tion from the time the ignition is switched on un-
tilit is switched off. If you continue driving within
two hours after switching the ignition off, the
new values will be included when calculating the
current trip information.

Instrument cluster

Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automatically. You can se-
lect the time period for evaluating trip informa-
tion yourself.
Average consumption
The current consumption can be shown using a
bar graph. The average consumption stored in
the short-term memory is also displayed. If the
bar is green, your vehicle is saving fuel (for exam-
ple, using recuperation).
Energy consumers
The Energy consumers view lists other equip-
ment that is currently affecting fuel consump-
tion. The display shows up to three equipment
items. The equipment using the most power is
listed first. If more than three items using power
are switched on, the equipment that is currently
using the most power is displayed. A gauge also
shows the current total consumption of all other
equipment.
