(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.

Driver information display
Service interval display
The service interval display reminds you when your next
service is due.
Fig. 9 Section of
instrument cluster:
Service interval display
The schedule for the next oil change or inspection is calculated
automatically and displayed accordingly. The display works in two
stages:
Service reminder
30 days before the next service is due, a service reminder appears in the display when you turn on the ignition.
After about 5 seconds the display switches back to normal. The distance and time remaining are updated each time the ignition is
turned on until the date due for service is reached.
Service due
When the due date for service is reached, the message Service due
! appears in the instrument cluster immediately after you turn on
the ignition. Additionally, a warning tone sounds. After about 5 seconds the display switches back to normal.
Calling up the service schedules
If or when an oil change or inspection is due, can be shown in the
instrument cluster by selecting the service interval display . Select
Check > Service > Oil change or Service by using the [ RESET! button
and the rocker switch =>
page 23, fig. 13.
Resetting the service interval display
Your authorized Audi dealer will reset the corresponding service
schedule after performing the appropriate service on your vehicle.
You also have the possibility to reset the oil change schedule after
having performed an oil change according to Audi specifications.
• Switch the ignition on.
• Pull the knob @=>
page 8, fig. 2. The message. Service
due!appears .
• Pull the knob until the display
Oil change in----- mi (kml---days
appears in the display . If the reset button is not pulled within 5
seconds, the display reset mode closes .
0 Note
If you disconnect the battery terminals, no calculations can be
made for the service interval display during this time and no service
reminder will appear. Remember that observing the proper service
intervals is vitally important to extending the life of your vehicle,
particularly the engine, and maintaining its value. Even if the
mileage driven is low, the maximum period of one year from one
service to the next must not be exceeded.
[ i] Tips
• Do not reset the display between oil changes, otherwise the
display will be incorrect.
• The information in the Service Reminder remains stored even
when the vehicle battery is disconnected .•

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 50.
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. •
