Outside temperature display
Fig. 11 D isplay : outside te mpe rature
At temperatures below 39 °F (+4 °C), a snow­
f lake symbol appears in front of the tempera­
ture display . It is intended to rem ind the driv ­
er to pay special attent ion to
ice on the roa d.
If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are driving
at a very low speed, the temperature shown in
the display might be slightly higher than the
actual outside temperature . Th is is caused by
the heat being radiated from the engine .
The unit of measurement for the temperature
can be set in either °For in °Con the MMI* or
on the radio control un it . The outside temper­
ature display automatical ly shows the unit of
measurement that has been set. For addition­
a l information, see the MMI* or the radio in ­
struction manua l.
A WARNING
- Never use the outside temperature d is ­
play to determine if a road surface is icy
or not. Keep in mind that road surfaces ,
especially bridges and overpasses, could be ice covered and slippery even at an
outside temperature above 39 °F (+4 °C).
- Always remember, eve n if the "snow­
flake" symbol ( ice warn ing) does not ap­
pear i n the display, black ice could be on
the road .
-Always reduce your speed and dr ive with
special care in cold weather conditions
when the chance of encounte ring icy
road surfaces increases .
Driver inform ation di spl ay 21
Digital speedometer
Fig. 12 D ispl ay : D ig it a l speedometer
Current speed appears in the disp lay. Speed is
shown in 1 mph increments (USA mode ls) or 1
km/h increments (Canada models) .
You can switch the disp lay from mi les to kilo ­
meters and vice versa via the radio or MMI* .
Open door or trunk lid warning
The pictogram alerts you when doors or the
trunk lid have been left open .
Fig. 1 3 Disp lay: Open doo r· and tr unk lid wa rnin g
T he Open Door/Trunk L id warn ing displays if
even one door, the hood or the t runk lid is
open . T his symbo l also shows which door or
lid has no t been closed
~ fig. 13 .
As soon as the doo r, the hood and the trunk
lid a re closed proper ly, the door and trunk lid
warning turns off and the selected d river in­
format ion sys tem func tion s are d isplayed
again .

The alarm also turns off when the alarm cycle
has expired.
Turn signals
When you unlock the vehicle, the turn signals
flash twice. When you lock the vehicle , the
turn signals flash once. If they do not flash,
one of the doors, the rear lid or the hood is
not locked.
Unintentionally locking yourself out
In the following cases there safeguards to
prevent you locking your remote master key in
the vehicle:
- The vehicle does not lock with the power
locking switch
¢ page 42 if the driver's
door is open.
- On vehicles with Convenience key* , if the
most recently used master key is in the lug­
gage compartment, the rear lid is automati­
cally unlocked again after it is closed.
Do not lock your vehicle with the
remote mas­
ter key
or Convenience key* until all doors
and the rear lid are closed. In this way you
avoid locking yourself out accidentally.
A WARNING
- When you leave the vehicle, always re­
move the ignition key and take it with
you. This will prevent passengers (chil­
dren, for example) from accidentally be­
ing locked in the vehicle should they acci­
dentally press the power locking switch
in the front doors .
- Do not leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised . In an emergency it would
be impossible to open the doors from
the outside without the key.
@ Tips
- In the event of a crash with airbag de ­
ployment all locked doors will be auto­
matically unlocked to give access to the
vehicle occupants from the outside .
-If the power locking system should mal­
function, you can lock the driver's door
using the mechanical key
¢ page 42.
-
Opening and closing 39
- If the power locking system should fail,
you can still open the fuel tank flap in an
emergency
¢ page 232.
- You are well advised not to keep valua­
bles inside an unattended vehicle, visible
or not. Even a properly locked vehicle
cannot provide the security of a safe.
- If the LED in the upper edge of the driv­
er's door panel comes on for about 30
seconds after the vehicle is locked, there
is a malfunction in the power locking or
the anti-theft warning system . Have the
malfunction corrected by an authorized
Audi dealership or qualified repair facili­
ty.

Refuelling
Fig. 191 Right rear vehicle sid e: Opening t he fuel filler
flap
Fig. 192 Fu el filler flap with attached fuel cap
When activating the central locking, the fuel
filler flap is automatically unlocked or locked.
Refuel the vehicle with the ignition turned
off.
Taking the fuel cap off
.. Press the left side of the fuel filler flap to
open it
c:> fig. 191 -arrow- .
.. Unscrew fuel cap counter-clockwise and
hang it on the fuel filler flap
c:> fig. 192.
Refuelling procedure
.. Insert the fuel nozzle from the gasoline
pump into the fuel filler neck as far as it will
go .
.. Select a medium refuelling rate so that the
nozzle switches off automatically when the
tank is full.
Putting the fuel cap back on
.. After filling your tank, twist the fuel cap
clockwise as far as it will go.
.. Close the fuel filler flap.
To avoid fuel spilling or evaporating from the
fuel tank always close fuel cap properly and completely. An improperly closed fuel filler
Fuel supply and filling your fuel tank 231
cap may also cause the MIL lamp c:> page 26
to come on.
A WARNING
Improper refueling or handling of fuel can
cause fire, explosion and severe burns.
- Fuel is highly flammable and can cause
severe burns and other injuries.
- Failure to shut the engine off while refu­
eling and/or to insert the pump nozzle
fully into the fuel filler neck could cause
fuel to spray out of filler neck or to over­
flow. Fuel spray and overflowing fuel can
cause a fire .
- Never use a cellular telephone while re­
fueling. The electromagnetic radiation
can cause sparks that can ignite fuel va­
pors and cause a fire .
- Never get back into your vehicle while re­
fueling. If in exceptional circumstances
you must get back in your vehicle while
refueling, make certain that you close
the door and touch metal to discharge static electricity before touching the fill­
er nozzle again. Static electricity can
cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors
released during refueling .
- Never smoke or have an open flame any­
where in or near your vehicle when refu­
eling or filling a portable fuel container .
- For your safety, we strongly recommend
that you do not travel with a portable
fuel container in your vehicle . The con­
tainer, full or empty may leak and could
cause a fire, especially in a crash .
- If, under exceptional circumstances, you
must transport a portable fuel container,
please observe the following:
- Never fill a portable fuel container
while it is anywhere in or on the vehicle
(for example, in the luggage compart­
ment, or on the trunk). Static electrici­
ty can build up while filling and can ig­
nite fuel vapors causing a fire .
- Always place a portable fuel container
on the ground before filling.
