Check System (see page 141) flashes when
driving, the engine may be overheated be­
cause of low coolant level.
Note
Do not install accessories (addi­
tional lights or Insect screens. for
example) on top of the front bumper.
They may restrict engine cooling
and cause engine damage.
Always heed all WA RNINGS
on page 142 and 232. 5
- Fuel gauge
iU
The fuel gauge works when the ignition is
switched on.
The fuel tank capacity is approximately 18.5
gallons (70 liters).
When the needle reaches the red area
there is a reserve of about 2.4 U.S. gallon �
(9 liters) of fuel left in the tank. lime to re­
fuel.
The fuel pump symbol in the instrument
cluster lights up as an additional reminder to
refuel.
Never run the tank completely dry. See also
page 222. 6

CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMEN T--------------------
Odometer
The odometer indicates the distance driven.
USA models:
Miles
Canada models: Kilometres
On the trip odometer, the last digit indicates
1 /,0 of a mile or 1 00 meters.
Reset knob for trip odometer

ter by pressing the knob until the display re­
turns to zero -see illustrat ion.
12 0 When
the ignition is off, the display can be
ill umin ated by pressing the test knob for the
Auto-Check System. See page 116, posi­
tion 8. The display switches off automati­
cally after about 15 seconds.
Also the display will remain illuminated for
abo �t 30 seconds after you open the driv­
er's door.
Defect message
If there is a defect in the instrument cluster,
"dEF" will be displayed continuously in the
trip odometer display area. Have this prob­
lem corrected as soon as possible by an au­
thorized Audi Dealer.
7 - Vo ltmeter
The voltmeter indicates the voltage for the
vehicle's total electrical system, which
should normally be between 12 and
14 volts. If the display drops below 12 volts
when the engine is running, have the power
supply (battery and alternator) checked by
an authorized Audi Dealer. See also
pages 127 and 143.
The voltage may fall below 8 volts while the
engine is being started. 8

----------------------VEHICLE
OPERATION
,:lib Remove
supplementary roof
� rack components when not In
use.
At high road speeds, the increased air �e­
sistance caused by the cross bars also In­
creases fuel consumption.
,:lib Switch oH any electrical equip­
� ment when no longer needed.
The more electricity you consume, the
higher the fuel consumption.
,:lib Check your vehicle 's fuel co?­'l!�Sr sumption regularly. Keep a writ­
ten record or use the trip odometer .
Check your fuel consumption ea?h time you
refu el. By doing this, you can d1scov �r a �y
inc onsistencies which could result 1n In­
creased fuel consumption and have these
checked before other problems appear. •
Check your oil each time you fill
your tank
The amount of oil used is related to engine
load and speed.
It is normal for the oil consumption of a new
engine to reach its lowest value after a cer­
tain mileage has been driven.
You must drive your vehicle about 3,000
miles (5 000 kilome tres) before you can
properly assess oil consumption.
This also applies to fuel consumption and
engine output.
• The published ENVIRONME NTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) and
Tr ansport Canada consumption esti­
mates may not correspond to your
actual consumption on the road.
which will vary depending upon ve­
hicle load and speed. road and
weather conditions. trip length. etc. The
catalytic converter is an efficient
"clean-up" device built into the exhaust
system of the vehicle. The catalyttc convert­
er burns many of the pollutants in the ex­
haust gas before they are released into the
atmosphere.
The exclusive use of unleaded fuel is
critically important fo.r the life of
the catalytic converter and proper
functioning of the engine - see
page 225.
The catalytic converter will be per­
manently damaged by:
• Exc eeding the correct engine oil
level - see page 236;
• Driving until the fuel tank be­
comes completely empty. The en­
gine could misfire. Unburned fuel
could also get into the exhaust sys­
tem and this could cause the catalyt­
ic converter to overheat;
