could burn yourself. Let the engine cool off
first until you can no longer see or hear
steam or coolant escaping .
0 Note
- Mounting additional lights or accessories in
front of the air inlets reduces the cooling ef
fect of the radiator. At h igh outside temper
atures or high engine load, the engine could
overheat .
- The front spoiler has been designed to prop
erly distribute the cooling air when the veh i
cle is moving . If the spoiler is damaged, this
could red uce the cooling effect and the en
gine could then overheat. Ask your author
iz ed Audi dealer for assistance.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in rev
olutions per minute (RPM).
You should shift to the next lowest gear when
the speed is below 1500 RPM . The beginning of
the red zone in the tachometer indicates the
maximum permissib le engine speed for all gea rs
once the engine has been broke n in. Before
reaching the red zone, you should shift into the
next higher gear, choose the Dor 5 selector lever
position , or remove your foot from the accelera
tor pedal.
(D Note
The needle in the tachometer@Q
page 10,
fig. 3
may only be in the red area of the gauge
for a short time or there is a risk of engine
damage. The beginning of the red range in
the gauge depends on the engine operating
tern perature.
@ For the sake of the environment
Upshifting early helps you to save fuel and re
duce operating noise.
{!) Tips
The engine speed is limited when the engine
is cold - the full engine output is not availa
ble. When the engine is at operating temper-
Instruments and indicator lights
ature, the red area in the tachometer moves
to a higher RPM range.
Fuel level
The fuel gauge only works when the ignition is
on. If the fuel level drops below 2.6 gallons (10
liters), the bottom LED turns red and the indica
tor light
tD turns on Q page 20. The bottom
LED blinks red when the fuel level is very low .
The possible range based on the current fuel lev
el is shown in tab@¢
page 22, fig. 4.
For the tank capacity in your vehicle, refer to the
Technical Data¢
page 260.
(D Note
Never drive until the tank is comp letely emp
ty. The irregu lar supply of fuel that resu lts
from that can cause the engine to misfire. Un
combusted fuel w ill then enter the exhaust
system. This can cause overheating and dam
age to the catalytic converter .

are listed on t he b attery housing. Your author
i z ed dealer must code the battery in the energy
management system to enable you to use the en
ergy manag ement functions correctly after re

The new battery must have the same capac ity,
voltage (12 -vo lt), amperage, const ruction and
p lug sealing .
