switched
on. T o prevent engine damage, please
observe the following notes about the tempera­
ture ranges.
Cold range
If o nly the LEDs in the left area of the gauge turn
on, the engine has not reached operating tem­
perature yet. Avoid high engine speeds, full ac­
celerating 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 under normal driving conditions . The
LEDs farther to the right may turn on if the en­
gine is under heavy load or the outside tempera­
ture is high. This is no cause for concern as long
8
as the. indicator light in the Infotainment dis­
play does not turn on. If the red LED in the rig ht
s ide of the display and the. indicator light in
the d isplay turn on, the coolant temperature is
too high ~page 12.
CD Note
-Auxi lia ry headlights and other ac cessories in
front of the cooling-air intake impair th e
cooling
effect o f the coolant. T his increases
the risk of the engine overheating during
high
outside temperatures and heavy en­
gine load.
- T
he 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
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa­
c ility
for assist ance.

the Technical Data section¢ page 299.
0 Note
Never drive until the tank is completely emp­
ty.
The irregular suppl y of fuel that results
from that can cause engine misfi res. Uncom­
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys­
tem. Th is can cause overheating and damage
to the catalytic converter.

On-Board Diagnostics monitors the components
of your emission control system. Each monitored
component in your engine system has been as­
signed a code. In case of a malfunction, the com-
18
ponent will be identified and the fault stored as a
code in the control module memory.
The MIL light may also illum inate if there is a
l
eak in the on-boar d fuel vapor recovery system.
If the light illuminates after a refuelling, stop
the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler cap is
properly closed c:> page 233.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Roof rack
The roof rack must only be secured in the posi­
tioning
bolt area.
Fig. 5 0 Mounting locations for roof rack
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roo f,
you
must observe the following:
- Your vehicle
has aerodynamic rain channels
molded into the roof. This is why conventional
roof luggage racks cannot be used. We recom ­
mend using roof rails from the Audi original ac­
cessories
program.
- These roof rails are the basis for a complete
roof rack system. For safety reasons, some ad­
ditional attachments are necessary to transport
luggage, bicycles, surf boards, skis and small
boats safely. All these components are availa­
ble at your authorized Audi dealer.
-The permitted roof load for your vehicle is 165
lbs (75 kg). The roof load is a combination of
the weight of the carrier system and the cargo.
-
When using roof rack systems with a lower load
capacity, you cannot use the maximum permis­
s ible
roof load. In this case, the roof rack can
only be
loaded to the weight limit give n in the
installation guide.
Installation
When installing the support feet, make sure they
are only placed in the positioning bolt area be­
tween the side wall frame and the roof frame
trim ~fig. 50. The positioning bolt is visible as
soon as you push the sealing lip back from the
room frame trim using the designated tool.
Seats and storage
A WARNING
iu=
-The cargo must be securely attached on the
roof rack, otherwise you increase the risk of
an accident.
-
You must under no circumstances exceed
the permissible roof load, the permissible
axle
loads and the permissible overall
weight of your vehicle because this increas­
es the risk of an accident.
-
Please note that there is a higher risk of col­
lision
when transporting heavy objects or
objects with a large surface on the roof rack,
since the handling characteristics
change
due to a shift in the center of gravity or the
g reater surface area exposed to the wind. So
adapt your driving and speed to the actual
conditions.
If you use other roof luggage rack systems or
do not install the racks as intended, any dam­
age to the vehicle is not covered by the war­
ranty. Carefully follow the assembly and in­
stallation instructions included with the roof
rack carrier system.
¢!/) For the sake of the environment
A
roof rack is often left mounted out of con­
venience even if
it is no longer used. Your ve­
hicle will use
more fuel due to the increased
wind
resistance. So remove the roof rack after
us ing it.

Climate control system
Description
The climate control system warms, cools and
adds humidity to the air in the vehicle interior. It
functions most effectively when the windows are
closed. If there is a build-up of heat inside the ve ­
hicle, ventilation can help to speed up the cooling
process.
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air .
Key recogniti on
Certain settings are automatically stored and as­
signed to t h e remote control key being used.
.&. WARNING
Poor visibility can lead to accidents.
-For safer driving, keep all windows free of
ice, snow and fog.
- Become familiar
as quickly as possible with
the correct use and function of the climate
control system, especially with the defrost­
ing and defogging function.
-
When the temperature is below freezing,
only use the windshield washer system after
the windshield has been warmed by the cli­
mate control system. The washer flu id could
freeze on the windshield and impair visibili­
ty.
CD Note
-If you suspect that the climate control sys­
tem is damaged, sw itch the system off to
52
prevent further damage and have it checked
by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
- Repairs
to the Audi climate control system
require special technical knowledge and
special tools. See an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility.
® For the sake of the environment
Reducing the amount of fuel used also re­
duces the amount of pollutants that enter the
air.
('!) Tips
-To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output a nd to prevent the win­
dows from fogging over, the air intake in
front of the windshield must be free of ice,
snow or leaves.
-
Condensation from the cooling system can
drip
and form a puddle of water under the
veh icle. This is normal and does not mean
there is a leak.
- The
energy management system may switch
the seat heating* or rear window defroster
off temporarily. These systems are available
again as soon as the energy balance has
been restored.
-The flows through the vents under the rear
window. Make sure the openings are not
covered when placing clothing on the lug­
gage compartment cover.

General information
New engine
The engine needs to be run-in during the first
1,000 mi (1,500 km).
For the first 600 mi (1,000 km):
... Do not use full throttle.
... Do not drive at engine speeds that are more
than 2/3 of the maximum permitted RPM.
... Avoid high engine speeds.
From 600 to 1,000 mi (1 ,000 to 1,500 km):
... Speeds can gradually be increased to the maxi­
mum permissible road or engine speed.
During and after break-in period
... Do not rev th e engine u p to high speeds when it
is cold. This
applies whether the transmission is
in N
(Neutral) or in gear.
After the break-in period
... Do not exceed maximum engine speed under
any cir cu
mstances .
... Upshift into th e nex t higher gear before reach ­
ing th e red
area at th e end of the tachometer
sea le r=:> page 8 .
During the firs t few hours of drivi ng, the engine's
interna l fric tion is higher than later when a ll th e
moving parts have been broken in . How well this
break-in process is done depends to a considera­
ble extent on the way the vehicle is driven during
the first 1,000 mi (1,500 km).
@Note
Extremely high engine speeds are automati­
cally reduced. However, these rpm limits are
programmed for an engine well r un -in, not a
new engine.
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not drive with unnecessarily high engine
speeds -upshi fting early saves fuel, reduces
noise and protects the environment.

·New tires
If your veh icle is runni ng on new tires, d rive par­
t icula rly careful for the first 350 m i (500 km) af­
ter fitting.
.&. WARNING
-New tires tend to be slippery and must a lso
be "broken-in". Be sure to remember this dur­
ing the first 350 m i (500 km). Brake gently .
Avoid following closely behind other vehicles
or other situations that might req uire sudden,
hard braking.
Avoid damaging the vehicle
When you are driv ing on poor roads, or over
cu r
bs, steep ramps, etc., make certain that l ow­
l y i
ng parts such as sp oile rs and exhaust system
parts do not bottom out and get damaged.
This is especially true for veh icles with low-s lu ng
c h
assis (sports chassis) * and fully loaded
vehicles .
Driving through water on roads
Note th e following to avo id vehicl e damage when
driv ing thro ugh water, for example on flooded
roads:
- The wat
er must not be any higher than the bot­
t
om of the vehicle body.
-
Do not dri ve faster than walking speed.
_&. WARNING
Af te r driving through water or mu d, the brak­
ing e
ffect can be reduced due to moisture on
the brake d iscs and brake pads. A few careful
b rake applications should dry off the bra kes.
@Note
Vehicle components such as the engi ne,
transmission, su s pension o r electrica l system
can be severely damaged by driving through
water. ..,.
