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

Trip computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on
current and average fuel mileage, average
speed, fuel range and driving time .

The fo llow ing informa tion is cont inuo usly
eva luated by the trip compu ter and can be dis ­
p layed sequentia lly in the instrument cl uster

Fuel range
The estimated c ruising ra nge in miles (km)
appears in the d isplay . The disp lay changes in
increments of 6 miles (10 km) .
Average fuel mileage
The average fue l economy in MPG (l/ 100 km)
since you last clea red the memory appears in

Current fuel mileage
The instantaneous fuel consumption in miles
pe r gallon (l/ 100 km) is shown in this d isp lay .
When the ve hicle is stationary, the most re­
cent fuel consumpt io n is displayed.
Average speed
The average speed in mph (km/h) since the
last time the display was reset appears i n the

On-Board Diagnostic
system (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (M IL) Iii in
the instrument cluster is part of the On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD
II) system.
The warning/indicator ligh t illuminates whe n
the ignition is switched on and goes out after
the eng ine starts and the idle has stabilized.
This indicates that the MIL is working proper­
ly .
If the light does not go out after t he engine
is started, or illuminates while you are driv­
i ng, a malfunction may exist in the eng ine sys­
tem. If the light illuminates, the catalytic con­
verter could be damaged .
Contin ue driving
with reduced power (avoid­
i ng sustained high speeds and/or rapid accel­
erations) and have the cond ition corrected.
Contact your a uthorized Audi dea ler.
If the light il luminates, the electronic speed
limiter may also be malfunct ioning. For more
information
c:> page 31, Electronic speed
limiter.
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the MIL light to illuminate
c:> page 163.
On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 24 Locat ion of Data Link Connector (DLC)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the compo­
nents of your emission contro l system . Each
monitored component in your engine system
has been assigned a code. In case of a mal­
funct ion, the component will 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 sys·
tem. If the light illuminates after a refuelling,
stop the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler
cap is properly closed

In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the
stored data can on ly be displayed using spe­
c ial dia gnost ic equipment (generic scan tool
