The illumination for the instrument cluster lights up whenever you
switch on the ign ition with the
ve hicle hea dlight s off. As the
daylight fades, the instrument cluster illumination likewise dims
automatically and wil l go out completely when the outside light is
very low. This feature is meant to remind you to switch on th e head ­
lights when outside light conditions become poor. •
Tachometer (engine rev counter)
The tachometer indicates the engine RPM (revolutions per
minutes) .
The tachometer 0 ~ fig. 2 is the left of the two large c lock -type
displays.
The engine turns at a speed
1,000 times the single digit in the
display, e.g . if th e ne edle is pointing a t the
"2" the engine is turning
at 2,000 RPM .
If engine RPM drops below 1,500, you should downshif t to the next
lower gear . The red ar ea at the end of th e scale indica tes maximum
permissible engine RPM after the break- in period. Before reaching
th is area , shift into the next higher gear (manua l transmission),
move the selec tor lever to position "D (Drive)" (automatic) or ease
your foot off the accelerator pedal.
0 Note
T he tachometer need le should not move into the red range . If it
does, then on ly for a very short period of time . You could damage
your engine by driving a t high RPM. ...

On-Board Diagnostic system (OBD)
On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 10 Locat ion of
Data Link Connector
( DLC )
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the components of your emission
control system . Each monitored component in your engine system
has been assigned a code. In case of a malfunction, the component
wi ll be identified and the fault stored as a code in the control
module memory.
The MIL light may also illuminate if there is a leak in the on -board
fuel vapor recovery system. If the light ill uminates after a refuelling,
stop the vehicle and make sure the fuel fi ller cap is properly closed
~ page 213.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stored data can only be
displayed using special diagnostic equipment (generic scan tool for
OBD) . ...

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 =>
page 24, fig. 10.
Your authorized Audi dealer or a qualified service station can inter ­
pret the code and perform the necessary repair. •
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIU in the instrument cluster
=>
page 15, fig. 5 is part of the On -Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system.
The warning/indicator light illuminates when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after the engine starts and the idle has
stabilized. 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 25, "Electronic speed
limiter".
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also cause the MIL light to
illuminate =>
page 213. •
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-
Controls and equip ­
ment
Driver information system
tronic speed limiter prevents your vehicle from going faster than the
tire speed rating. For more information =>
page 246.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle road speed signals,
the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIU•"" will illuminate. If this
occurs, contact the nearest authorized Audi dealer for assistance.
& WARNING
Always observe the posted speed limits and adjust your speed to
suit prevailing road, traffic and weather conditions. Never drive
your vehicle faster than the maximum speed rating of the tires installed. •

Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep your driving
speed below a set speed limit.
Fi g. 18 D isplay: s pee d
w arn in g sys tem
The speed warning system warns the driver if he exceeds a previ­
ously stored maximum speed . A warning tone wi ll sound as soon as
the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed by about 3 mph (3 km/h). At
the same time, a warning symbol appears in the display=> fig. 18.
The speed warn ing system has
two warning thre shold s that func­
tion independent ly of each other and that have somewhat different
purposes :
Speed w arnin g 1 _ / ~ (C ana da mod els)
You can use speed warning 1 to set the max imum speed whi le you
are driving. This setting wi ll remain in effect until you turn off the
ign ition, assuming that you have not changed or reset the setting .
The speed warning symbo l / (Canada mode ls) in the warning 1
display appears when you exceed the maximum speed. It goes out
when the speed falls be low the stored maximum speed.
The speed warning symbol will also go out if the speed
exceeds the
stored maximum speed by more than about 25 mph (40 km/h) for at
least 10 seconds. The stored maximum speed is de leted . Setting speed warning 1
~ page 30.
S
peed w arning 2 I (Canada m odel s)
Storing warning 2 is recommended if you always want to be
reminded of a certain speed, for example when you are traveling in
a country that has a general maximum speed limit, or if you do not
want to exceed a specified speed for winter tires .
The speed warning 2 symbol, _;_._ (Canada models) appears in the
display when you exceed the stored speed limit. Unlike warning 1,
it wi ll not go out until the vehic le speed drops be low the stored
speed limit .
Setting speed warning 2
~ page 31 .
[ i ] Tips
Even though your vehicle is equipped with a speed warning system,
you should still watch the speedometer to make sure you are not
driving faster than the speed limit .•
Speed warning 1 : setting a speed limit
Warning threshold 1 is set by the button .
Storing the maximum speed
- Drive at the desired maximum speed.
