- When switching the ignition on, the nee­
dles in the instrument cluster move up­
ward briefly.
- The illumination for the instrument clus ­
ter lights up whenever you switch on the
i gnition with the
vehicle headlights off .
As the daylight fades, the instrument
cluster illumination likewise dims auto­
matically a nd will go out completely
when the outside light is very low. This
feature is meant to remind you to switch
on the head lights when outside light
conditions become poor .

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 br eak-in pe­
riod. Before reaching this area, move these­
lector lever to position "D (Drive)" or ease
your foot off the acce lerator pedal.
(D Note
The tachometer needle should only briefly
be in the red zone: you could damage your
engine! The beg inning of the red zone var­
i es depending on the engine.
@ For the sake of the environment
Upshifting early saves fuel and reduces en­
gine noise.

damage to your e ngine, please note the fo l­
l owing important points:
Engine cold
As long as the nee dle rem ains a t the left end
of the gauge, the engine s till h as not reac hed
its operating temperat ure. Avoid high engine
speeds, heavy engine loads and heavy throt­
tle.

W hen the engine has re ache d its ope rat ing
temperature, the need le w ill move into the
mid dle of t he gauge and rema in there .
If the
engine is working hard at high outside tem ­
peratures, the needle may turn fu rther to the
right. This is no cause for concern as long as
the . warni ng light in the inst rument cl uster
does not illuminate .
When the. war ning light starts to flash,
th is can mean one of two thi ngs: either the
coolant
temperature is too high, o r the coo l­
ant
level is too low ¢ page 17 .

A WARNING
-Always observe the warnings in
c> page 165, Working in the engine
compartment, before opening the en­
gine hood and check ing the bra ke fluid.
- Driv ing with low brake fluid is a safety
hazard! Stop the car and get professional
assistance. -
USA models: If both, the
1111 warning
light and the
E warn ing light come
on at the same time, the rear wheels
could lock up first under hard braking.
Lock-up of the rear wheel brakes can
cause loss of vehicle contro l and an acci­
dent. Have your veh icle repa ired immedi­
ately by your authorized Audi dealer or a
qualified workshop . Drive s low ly and
avoid sudden, hard brake application.
- Canada models:
If both, the b rake warn­
ing light . and the ABS warning light
EiJ come on at the same time, the rear
wheels could lock up f irst under hard
brak ing. Lock-up of the rear wheel brakes
can cause loss of veh icle control and an
accident. Have your vehicle repaired im­
mediately by your author ized Audi dealer
or a qualified wo rkshop. Drive slowly and
avoid sudden, hard brake application.
- If the b rake warning/ind icator light does
not go out after a few seconds and the
pa rking brake is re leased, or lights up
while you are dr iving, the flu id leve l in
the brake fl uid reservo ir is too low . If you
believe that it is safe to do so, proceed
immediate ly at low speed to the nea rest
author ized Audi dealer or qualif ied work­
shop and have the brake system inspect­
ed.
-Always keep in mind that after severa l
brake applications, you will need greater
pressure on the brake pedal to stop your
veh icle. Do not rely on strained brakes to
respond with maximum stopping powe r
i n critical s ituations. You must allow for
increased b raking dis tances. The extra
distance used up by fading bra kes could
lead to an accident.
tli1 !.!r Safety systems
The I ( U SA models) . (Canada mode ls) in­
dicator light monitors the safety systems e.g.
(airbags, pretensioners) and i lluminates for a

16 Instruments and warning/indicator lights
If the I (USA models) JII (Canada models)
indicator light does not go out, or if it illumi­
nates wh ile you are driv ing, or if it starts to
blink, then there is a ma lfunction somewhere
in the system . If the light does not illuminate
when you switch on the ignition, this also
means there is a malfunction .
A WARNING
If you have a malfunction in the safety sys­
tems, contact your authorized Audi dealer
immediate ly. Otherwise the safety sys­
tems may not wo rk properly in an acci­
dent.
4 Safety belt warning light

This warning/indicator light detects a mal ­
function in the generator or in the vehicle's
electrical system.
The. warning/ind icator light illuminates
when you sw itch on the ignit ion a nd must go
out after the engine has started.
• Alternator fault: Battery is not being
charged
If the indicator light turns on and the mes ­
sage appears, there is a ma lfunction in the
generator or vehicle electr ical system.
Drive to your authorized Audi dealer or quali­
fied workshop immediately . Because the vehi ­
cle battery is discharging, turn off all unnec­
essary electrical equipment such as the radio.
Seek professional ass istance if the battery
charge level is too low.
(•) Low battery: battery will be charged
while driving
If the indicator l ight turns on and the mes­
sage appears, there may be limited starting
ability.
If this message turns off after a litt le while,
the battery charged enough while driving.
If the message does not turn off, have your
authorized Aud i dealer or qualified workshop
correct the malfunction.
The red engine oil pressure warning symbol
requires immediate service or repair.
If the . symbol appears in the disp lay and
flashes, the oil pressure is too low. In add ition
to the symbol, the following message also ap­
pears in the display:
Switch off engine! Oil pressure is too low
.,. Pull off the road and stop the vehicle.
• Shut the eng ine down.
.,. Check the engine oil level¢ page 170.
.,. Contact your authorized Aud i dealer for as-
sistance if necessary.
Engine oil level too low
If the engine oil leve l is too low, top off oil to
the proper level¢
page 170.
Engine oil level OK
If the . symbo l starts flashing again even
though the engine oi l level checks OK on the
dipstick,
do not start driving again and do
not let the engine run at idle.
Instead, con­
tact your authori zed Aud i dealer for ass is­
tance.
(D Tips
- The engine oil pressure symbol. is
not an indicator for a low engine oil lev­
el. Do not rely on it. Instead, check the
oil level in your engine at regular inter­
vals, preferably each time you refuel,
and always before going on a long trip.

~ Conti nue driving only after the eng ine cool­
ant warn ing/ indicator light goes out .
~ Contact you r authorized Audi dea le r fo r as-
s istance if necessary .
If the engine coolant level is correct, then the
radiato r fan may be the cause of the malfunc­
tion .
If the generator warning/ind icator light
should also illuminate ¢
page 16, then the
fan belt may be damaged .
A WARNING
-If your veh icle should break down for
mechanical or other reasons, park at a
sa fe distance from moving traffic, turn
