(D Note
The instrument clu ste r and center c onsole i lluminati on (gauge s and
n eedles) comes on w hen you sw itch on the ignit ion and the vehicle
he adl ights are off . Be awa re of the following difference betw een
models built to US or Canad ian specificat io ns:
• USA models : illumination of the instrument cluster (gauges and
needles), dash and center con sole around the gear shift lever is
controlled by a light sensor located in the instrument panel. The
instrument panel illumination will automatically become dimmer
as the daylight fades away and eventually will go out completely
when outside light is very low . This is to remind you, the driver , to
sw itch on the headlights befo re it gets too dark .
• Canada models: instrument panel illumination will stay bright
regardless of the intensit y of ambient light . Always be aware of
changes in outside light conditions while you are driving . Respond
in time to fading dayl ight by turning the light swit ch to position
jD
(or" AUTO" if you r car i s equi ppe d with this feature) to turn on your
headlights . •
Tachometer (engine rev counter)
T h e ta chom eter ind icates the e ngine RPM (revo luti ons pe r
minut es).
The tachom eter 0 => fig . 2 is the left on e of the two large clock -type
dis plays .
The engine turns at a speed 1 000
times the single di git in the
display, e.g . if the needle p oints at the "2", the eng ine t urns at
2 000 RP M.

The various electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are
clustered in a centralized unit. The unit is located behind the face
panel at the end of the instrument panel. The crank for operating
the sunroof in case of a power failure is a lso stored behind the face
panel
~ page 49.
Two spare fuses and a sticker identifying the fuses are located on
the inside of the fuse box cover.
You are well advised to keep a supply of spare fuses in your vehicle .
Fuses with the proper ampere ratings are available at your autho ­
rized Audi dealer.
& WARNING
Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating.
• A fuse with a too high amperage could damage the electrical
part and cause a fire .
0 Note
• On no accoun t should fuses be repaired (e.g . patched up with tin
foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the elec­
trical circuit or cause fire.
• If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have
the cause for the repeated short circuit or overload tracked and
fixed. •
