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. ...

Driver information system
The service interval display determines when a service procedure is
needed for your vehicle . It operates in two stages:
• Service reminder : Before reaching a service event, this message
appears briefly when you switch on the ignition:
OIL CHANGE IN
1230 Ml (2000 KM) 150 DAYS.
• Service event: When the date for service is reached, the message
OIL CHANGE! appears. It is accompanied by an audible signal.
Display remaining distance
By briefly pulling the knob,@) ~ page 12 , fig. 2, the dis tance/time
remaining to the next service date is displayed with the ignition on.
The distance/ time remaining is updated every 300 miles (500 kml.
If the distance/time remaining is cal led up on new vehicles or after
service has been performed, the due date is always shown in the
display with
OIL CHANGE IN····· Ml (KMl··· DAYS within the first 300
miles (500 km).
To reset the displa y

[ i J Tips
• If a malfunction is present (red symbol), the distance remaining
cannot be called up.
• Do not reset the display between service intervals. Doing so will
result in an incorrect display.
• If the battery is disconnected, the Service Interval Display values
are reta ined. •
On vehicles with the Driver Information System, you can also call

interval display was not reset after service was performed, the addi ­
tional mileage driven or the elapsed days will be shown as negative
numbers. •
On-Board Diagnostic system (OBD)
On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 10 Locat ion of
Data Link Connector
( DLC )
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the components of your emission
control system . Each monitored component in your engine system
has been assigned a code. In case of a malfunction, the component
wi ll be identified and the fault stored as a code in the control
module memory.
The MIL light may also illuminate if there is a leak in the on -board
fuel vapor recovery system. If the light ill uminates after a refuelling,
stop the vehicle and make sure the fuel fi ller cap is properly closed
~ page 213.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stored data can only be
displayed using special diagnostic equipment (generic scan tool for
OBD) . ...

In order to connect the special diagnostic equipment, push the plug
into the Data Link Connector (DLC). The DLC is located to the right of
the hood release =>
page 24, fig. 10.
Your authorized Audi dealer or a qualified service station can inter ­
pret the code and perform the necessary repair. •
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIU in the instrument cluster
=>
page 15, fig. 5 is part of the On -Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system.
The warning/indicator light illuminates when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after the engine starts and the idle has
stabilized. This indicates that the MIL is working properly.
If the light does not go out after the engine is started, or illuminates
while you are driving, a malfunction may exist in the engine system.
If the light starts flashing, the catalytic converter could be damaged .
Continue driving
with reduced power (avoiding sustained high
speeds and/or rapid accelerations) and have the condition
corrected. Contact your authorized Audi dealer .
If the light illuminates, the electronic speed limiter may also be
malfunctioning . For more information=>
page 25, "Electronic speed
limiter".
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also cause the MIL light to
illuminate =>
page 213. •
Electronic speed limiter
Your vehicle may be factory equipped with tires that are rated for a
maximum speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). This is less than the
maximum speed of your vehicle . To reduce the risk of sudden tire
failure and loss of control if the vehicle is operated at excessive
speeds, your vehicle also has an electronic speed limiter. The elec-
Controls and equip ­
ment
Driver information system
tronic speed limiter prevents your vehicle from going faster than the
tire speed rating. For more information =>
page 246.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle road speed signals,
the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIU•"" will illuminate. If this
occurs, contact the nearest authorized Audi dealer for assistance.
& WARNING
Always observe the posted speed limits and adjust your speed to
suit prevailing road, traffic and weather conditions. Never drive
your vehicle faster than the maximum speed rating of the tires installed. •

Fuses and bulbs -
------------------
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.
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 account 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. •

Some of the equipment items listed are optional or only available on
certain model configurations.
Note that the following table is accurate at the time of going to
press and is subject to change. In the event of discrepancies, the
label on the inside of the cover always takes precedence.
The power seats are protected by circuit breakers, which automati ­
cally reset after a few seconds after the overload has been reme-
died. .,_
