Instruments and warning/indicator lights
Warning light in the instrument cluster -t
When the _L warning light in the instrument cluster starts to flash,
this can mean one of two things: either the coolant
temperature is
too high, or the coolant
level is too low~ page 33.
If the needle is well in the upper area of the gauge, the coolant
temperature is too high.
Stop the vehicle, switch the engine off and
allow the engine to cool.
If the warning light comes on again after
driving a short distance, contact an authorized dealer.
& WARNING
• Always observe the warning in ~ page 324, "Engine compart
ment", before opening the hood and checking the engine coolant
level.
• Never open the engine hood if you see or hear steam, or if you
see engine coolant dripping from the engine compartment . You
could burn yourself. Let the engine cool off first so that you cannot
hear or see any steam or engine coolant.
0 Note
• Mounting additional lights or accessories in front of the air inlets
reduces the cooling effect of the radiator. At high outside tempera
tures or high engine load, the engine could overheat.
• The front spoiler has been designed to properly distribute the
cooling air when the vehicle is moving. If the spoiler is damaged,
this could reduce the cooling effect and the engine could then
over
heat. Ask your authorized Audi dealer for assistance. •
Tachometer (engine rev counter)
The tachometer indicates the engine RPM (revolutions per
minutes).
The tachometer 0 ~ page 13, fig. 2 is the left of the two large clock
type displays. The
engine turns at a speed
1,000 times the single digit in the
display, e.g. if the needle is pointing at the "2" the engine is turning
at 2,000 RPM.
If engine RPM drops below 1,500, you should downshift to the next
lower gear. The red area at the end of the scale indicates maximum
permissible engine RPM after the break -in period. Before reaching
this area, move the selector lever to position "D (Drive)" or ease your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
0 Note
The tachometer needle should not move into the red range. If it
does, then only for a
very short period of time. You could damage
your engine by driving at high RPM .
'£> For the sake of the environment
Upshifting early saves fuel and reduces engine noise.•
Digital clock with date display
Date and time of day can be set in the MM/.

On-Board Diagnostic system (08D)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIU ~ in the instrument cluster
~ page 17, fig. 7 is part of the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD ID system.
The warning/indicator light illuminates when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after the engine starts and the idle has
stabi lized . This indicates that the MIL is working properly.
If the light does not go out after the engine is started, or illuminates
while you are driving, a malfunction may exist in the engine system.
If the light starts flashing, the catalytic converter could be damaged.
Continue driving
with reduced power (avoiding sustained high
speeds and/or rapid accelerations) and have the condition
corrected. Contact your authorized Audi dealer.
If the light illuminates, the electronic speed limiter may also be
malfunctioning . For more information~
page 29, "Electronic speed
limiter".
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also cause the MIL light to
illuminate
~ page 327. •
On-Board Diagnostics
Con tro ls and eq uip
ment
Fig . 16 Location of
Data Link Connector
(D LC )
Driver information display
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the components of your emission
control system. Each monitored component in your engine sys tem
has been assigned a code. In case of a malfunction, the component
wil l be identified and the fault stored as a code in the control
module memory .
The M IL light may also illuminate if there is a leak in the on -board
fuel vapor recovery system. If the light illuminates after a refuelling,
stop the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler cap is properly closed
~ page 327.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stored data can only be
d isplayed using special diagnostic equipment (generic scan tool for
08D).
In order to connect the special diagnostic equipment, push the plug
into the Data Link Connector (DLC). The DLC is located to the right of
the hood release~ fig. 16.
Your authorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop can interpret the
code and perform the necessary repair. •
Electronic speed limiter
Your vehicle may be factory equipped with tires that are rated for a
maximum speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). This is less than the
maximum speed of your vehicle. To reduce the risk of sudden tire
failure and loss of control if the vehicle is operated at excessive
speeds, your vehicle also has an electronic speed limiter. The elec
tronic speed limiter prevents your vehicle from going faster than the
tire speed rating. For more information~
page 359.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle roadspeed signa ls,
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIU will i lluminate . If this
occurs, contact the nearest authorized Audi dealer for assistance. .,.

pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure tellta le .
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indi cator to indicate when the system is not operating properly . The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low t ire pressure
telltale . When the system detects a ma lfunction, the telltale wil l
fl ash for approximately one minu te and then remain continuously
illuminated . T his sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the ma lfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be ab le to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
veh icle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or whee ls on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
a lternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly .•
Introduction
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors air pressure
in all four road wheels while the vehicle is moving.
As soon as the tire pressure mon itoring system senses a s ignificant
loss of air pressure in one or severa l tires, text messages and yellow
symbo ls appear in the instrument cluster display to a lert the driver .
T he ~ warning light in the instrument cluster comes on when the
t ire is significant ly underinflated ;;:,
page 20.
The warning light ' also illuminates in the case of a system
malfunction.
Be aware that tire pressure is also dependent on the temperature of
the tire. For every 18 °F (10 °Cl increase in tire temperature, tire pres
sure increases by about 1 .5 psi (0 .1 bar). The tire warms up while the
vehic le is moving and tire pressure rises. So you should adjust tire

pressure only when they are cold, when the temperature of the tires
is roughly the same as the ambien t air temperature .
In order to keep the tire pressure monitoring system properly cali
brated, tire pressure on all four tires should be checked at regular
intervals, adjusted if necessary and saved in the proper setting
(recommended pressure) ;;:,
page 45.
The tire pressure is shown on the tire pressure label. On USA vehi
cles, the tire pressure labe l is located on the driver's side 8-pi llar . On
Canada vehicles, the tire pressure labe l is located eithe r on the
driver's side 8 -p illar or inside the fuel fi ller flap. The tire pressure
label lists the recommended cold tire inflation p ressu res for the
vehic le at its maximum capacity weight and the tires that were on
your vehicle at the time it was manufactured. For recommended tire
pressures for normal load conditions, please see chapter
;;:, page 351.
& WARNING
• When the tire pre ssure monitoring sy stem warning light i s lit ,
one o r mor e of your tires i s signifi ca ntl y under -infl ated . You should
stop and che ck your tire s as soon as possible , and inflate th em to
th e prop er pre ssure a s indicated on the v ehicle' s tir e pr ess ure
l a bel ;;:,
pa ge 351. Driving on a signifi cant ly under-infl ated tire
ca use s the tire to overhe at and can lead t o tire f ailure. Und er-infla
tio n a lso is likely to imp air th e vehicle' s handling and stoppi ng
ability .
• Do not adju st tire pre ssure whe n tire temp erature is exc essiv e.
Thi s could le ad to serious tire damage and even cause the ti re to
burst , with the additi onal d ange r of an acc ident .
Driving with under -inflated tires reduces fue l efficiency and tire
tread life.

Controls and equip
ment
Opening and closing
& WARNING (continued)
• Always ensure that no one is within range of the rear lid when
it is moving, in particular close to the hinges and the upper and
lower edges -fingers or hands can be pinched.
• To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from being drawn into
the vehicle, always keep the rear lid closed while driving. Never
transport objects larger than those which fit completely into the
luggage area, because then the rear lid cannot be fully closed.
• Never leave your vehicle unattended especially with the rear lid
left open. A child could crawl into the car through the luggage
compartment and pull the lid shut, becoming trapped and unable
to get out . To reduce the risk of personal injury, never let children
play in or around your vehicle. Always keep the rear lid as well as
the vehicle doors closed when not in use.
• If there is a luggage rack or bicycle rack mounted on the rear lid,
it may not be able to open completely or an opened rear lid may
close by itself because of the added weight. So the open rear lid
must be supported or the weight must be removed from the
luggage rack first.
[ i] Tips
• If the rear lid is open or not properly locked when the ignition is
turned on, the door and rear lid warning::::;,
page 27 appears in the
instrument cluster display.
• The automatic rear lid opening/closing process can be stopped
by holding the rear lid with your hand. The lid can then be further
opened/closed by hand.
• If there is a mechanical problem with the automatic rear lid
opening process or there is an obstruction, the process is stopped
immediately.
• If there is a mechanical problem with
automatic closing for the
rear lid or there is an obstruction, it opens again slightly right away.
Check to see why the rear lid could not be closed before attempting
to close it again. ..,_
