WARNING
If the warning lamps are ignored, the vehicle may stall in traffic, or may
cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
● Park the vehicle away from the traffic, ensuring that there are no easi-
ly inflammable materials under the vehicle which could come into contact
with the exhaust system (e.g. dry grass, fuel).
● A faulty vehicle represents a risk of accident for the driver and for oth-
er road users. If necessary, switch on the hazard warning lamps and put
out the warning triangle to advise other drivers.
● Before opening the bonnet, switch off the engine and allow it to cool.
● In any vehicle, the engine compartment is a hazardous area and could
cause severe injuries ⇒ page 180.
CAUTION
Failure to heed the warning lamps when they appear may result in faults in
the vehicle.

Odometer
The odometer registers the total distance travelled by the car.
The odometer (trip) shows the distance travelled since the last odometer re- set. The last figure indicates 100 m.
Outside temperature indicator
When the outside temperature is below +4 °C (+39 °F), the symbol “ice crys-
tal” (warning of risk of freezing) is also displayed next to the temperature.
At first this symbol flashes and then it remains lit until the outside tempera-
ture rises above +6 °C (+43 °F) ⇒
.
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature
as a result of heat coming from the engine.
The temperatures measured range from -40 °C to +50 °C (-40 °F to +122 °F). Selector lever positions
The range of engaged gears of the selector lever is shown on the side of the
lever, and on the instrument panel display. In positions
D and M, and with
the Tiptronic, the corresponding gear is also indicated on the display.
Recommended gear* (manual gearbox)
The recommended gear to save fuel can be displayed on the instrument
panel display while you are driving ⇒ page 124.
Seat belt status display for rear seats *
The seat belt status display on the instrument panel display informs the
driver, when the ignition is switched on, whether any passengers in the rear
seats have fastened their seat belts ⇒ page 56.
Start-Stop system status display
The instrument panel display shows information on the current status
⇒ page 160.
