The illumination for the instrument cluster lights up whenever you
switch on the ign ition with the
ve hicle hea dlight s off. As the
daylight fades, the instrument cluster illumination likewise dims
automatically and wil l go out completely when the outside light is
very low. This feature is meant to remind you to switch on th e head ­
lights when outside light conditions become poor. •
Tachometer (engine rev counter)
The tachometer indicates the engine RPM (revolutions per
minutes) .
The tachometer 0 ~ fig. 2 is the left of the two large c lock -type
displays.
The engine turns at a speed
1,000 times the single digit in the
display, e.g . if th e ne edle is pointing a t the
"2" the engine is turning
at 2,000 RPM .
If engine RPM drops below 1,500, you should downshif t to the next
lower gear . The red ar ea at the end of th e scale indica tes maximum
permissible engine RPM after the break- in period. Before reaching
th is area , shift into the next higher gear (manua l transmission),
move the selec tor lever to position "D (Drive)" (automatic) or ease
your foot off the accelerator pedal.
0 Note
T he tachometer need le should not move into the red range . If it
does, then on ly for a very short period of time . You could damage
your engine by driving a t high RPM. ...

<£> For the sake of the environment
Upshifting early saves fuel and reduces engine noise. •

Instruments and warning /indicator lights
To hide or display the date
- Pull the knob as many times as necessary until the date
display flashes .
- Turn the knob to the left or right.

ration - can turn on the display field lighting for a few seconds .•
Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant gauge~ page 12, fig. 2 © only works when the
ignition is on. To preven t damage to your engine, please note the
following important points:
Engine cold
As long as the needle remains at the left end of the gauge, the
engine still has not reached its operating temperature . Avoid high
engine speeds, heavy engine loads and heavy throttle.
Normal temperature
When the engine has reached its operating temperature, the needle
will move into the middle of the gauge and remain there. If the
engine is working hard at high outside temperatures, the needle
may turn further to the right. This is no cause for concern as long as
the -~- warning light in the instrument cluster does not illuminate.
When the
_J _ warning light starts to flash, this can mean one of two
things: either the coolant
temperature is too high , or the coolant
level is too low~ page 32 . ~
Vehicle care I I irechnical data

c luster : center d is p lay
The driver information display is located in the center of the instru­
ment cluster => fig . 7 .
The driver information system updates important information in the center display in clear view of the driver. In an easy to understand
format, the display tells you how your vehicle is functioning
at t he
cu rre nt m omen t.
For example, the display can tell you how many
miles (kilometers) you can still drive until it is time to bring your
vehicle to your authorized Audi dealer for a scheduled Maintenance Service . This feature helps preventing costly repairs. It is just one of
many different items of information availab le for recall. The display
a lso gives you a "status report" whenever the
so und s ystem , tel e­
ph on e, a nd navi gation
systems are being used.
Detailed instructions for operating the Audi Navigation System* are provided in separate manuals . The Driver Information System provides the following functions:
Sound system display
Outside air temperature
Door open indicator
Service interval display
Auto Check system
Speed limiter
Selector lever (S t ronic)

outside temperature will appear in the display only after you have
moved the selector lever into a gear (for example, when yo u shift
into
" D ") .
The snowflake symbo l a lso appears when the outs ide temperature
is below 41 °F ( +5 °C). This is to warn you, the driver, to be extra
cautious becaus e the road surfaces may be
icy . If the vehicle is at a
standstil l, or i f you are driving at a very low speed, the temperature
shown in the display might be sligh tly high er than the ac tual
outside temperature . This is caused by the heat being radiated from
the engine .
Remember , if your vehicle is equipped with air conditioning and you
change the display from °F (Fahrenhei t) to °C (Centigrade) , then the
outside temperature will automatical ly be displayed in °C (Centi ­
grade) .
