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. •
Digital clock with date display

clock.

ment
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.
When the date display stops blinking, this means the time and date
have been successfully stored.
With the ignition off, pushing or pulling the Set/Check button
~ page 12, fig. 2 ©-depending on the instrument cluster configu ­
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 34. ~

& WARNING
• Always observe the warning in =;, page 209 , "Engine compart ­
ment" before opening the engine hood and checking the engine
coolant level.
• Never open the engine hood if you see or hear steam , or if you
see engine coolant dripping from the engine compartment . You
c ould burn your self. Let the engine cool off first so that you cannot
hear or see any steam or engine coolant .
0 Note
• Mounting additiona l lights or accessories in front of the a ir inlets
reduces the co oling effect of the radiat or. At high outside tempera ­
tures or h igh engi ne load , the eng ine could overheat.
• The fron t spoile r has been designed t o properly dist rib ute the
coo ling air when the veh icle is mov ing . If the spo iler is damaged,
this could red uce the coo ling effect and the engine cou ld then ove r­
heat. Ask your authorized Audi deale r for assistance. •
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge wor ks only when the ignition is on .
When the needle reaches the red area, the warning light in the instrument cluster w ill illu m ina te =;,
page 35 . Thi s means yo u
have approx imate ly 1.9 gallons (7 litres) of fuel left in the tank.
Time
to refuel!
The tota l tank capacity of your vehicle is listed in=;, page 297. Be
awa re of the diffe rent ta nk capaci ties of front -wheel a nd q uat tro®
a ll- w hee l d ri ve models .
0 Note
Never run the tank comple tely dry! An irre gular suppl y of fuel can
cause engine m isf iring and fuel could enter into the exhaust system.
The catalytic converter could then overheat and be
damag ed. •
