(D Tips
The illumination for the instrument cluster
lights up whenever you switch on the igni­
tion with the
vehicle headlights off . As
the daylight fades, the instrument cluster
illuminat ion likewise dims automatically
and will go out completely when the out­
side light is very low. This feature is meant
to remind you to switch on the headlights
when outside light condit ions become
poor.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant gauge q page 10, fig. 3 (D
only works when the ignition is on. To prevent
damage to your engine, please note the fol ­
lowing important po ints:
Engine cold
If the needle is at or close to the bottom of
the gauge, the engine has not yet reached its
operating temperature. Avoid high engine
speeds, heavy engine loads, and heavy throt ­
tle app lications.
Normal temperature
When the engine has reached its operating
temperature, the needle will move to the mid­
dle of the gauge and remain there . If the en­
gine is working hard at high outs ide tempera­
tures, the needle may move higher on the
gauge. This is not a cause for concern as long
as the . warning light in the instrument
cluster display does not illuminate. .,..

Instrument s and warning /indicator lights 11
Warning light in th e instrument cluster
display
If th e. warn ing light in th e instr ument clus­
ter disp lay flashes, this can mean one of two
things: either the coo lant
t empera ture is too
high, or the coolant
level is too low
¢ page 30.
If the needle is we ll in the upper area of the
ga uge, the coo lant temperature is too high.
Stop the veh icle , switch the engine off, and
allow it to cool.
I f the warni ng light comes o n
again after driving a short distance, contact
an author ized Audi d ealer or other qualif ied
wo rkshop.

CD Note
-Mo unt ing additional lights or accessories
i n front of t he a ir inlets red uces the cool­
i ng effect of the rad iator . At h igh outside
temperatures or high eng ine load, the
engine could ove rheat .
- The front spo ile r has been designed to
proper ly distr ibute the cooling air when
the veh icle is moving .
If the spoiler is
damaged, th is cou ld re duce the cooling
effect and t he engine co uld th e n over­
hea t. Ask yo ur auth o riz ed Aud i de aler fo r
ass ist ance.
Tachometer (engine rev counter)
The tachometer indicate s the engine RPM
(rev olu tion s per minu tes).
If engine R PM drops be low 1,500, you should
downshift to the nex t lower gea r. T he red a rea
at t he e nd of the s ca le ind icates maxim um p
ermissible engine RPM after the break- in pe­
r iod. Before reaching this a rea , move these­
l ector lever to position D/S o r ease your foot
off the acce lerator pedal.
CD Note
The tac hometer nee d le @ ¢ page 1 0,
