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 .

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

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 22 7.
- 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.

(for example, in the luggage compart
ment, or on the trunk). Static electrici
ty can bu ild up while filling and can ig
nite fuel vapors causing a fire .
- Always place a portable fuel container on the ground before filling.
- Always keep the filler nozzle complete
ly inside the portable container before
and during filling.
- If fill ing a portable container made of
metal, the filler nozzle must always be
in contact with the container. This will
help prevent static electricity from dis
charging and cause a fire.
- Never spill fuel inside the vehicle or
luggage compartment. Fuel vapors are
h ig hly flammable.
- Always observe local and state/provin
cial laws regarding the use, storage
and transportation of fuel containers.

industry standards (ANSI/ ASTM
F852-86).
(D Note
If any fuel has spilled onto the car, it
should be removed immediate ly to prevent
damage to the paint.
@ For the sake of the environment
As soon as the correctly operated nozzle
switches off automatically for the first
time, the tank is full. Do not try to add
more fue l because fuel may spill out. In
addition, the expansion space in the fuel
tank will be fi lled -causing the fue l to
overflow when it becomes warm and pol
lute the environment.
@ Tips
-Running your engine while refuelling
may cause vapors to escape or even
cause fuel to spill out of the tank. This
would then shut off the fuel nozzle be
fore the tank is full.
Fuel su ppl y and filling your fuel ta nk 22 7
-Do not refuel your vehicle with the igni
tion turned on . The fuel gauge may oth
erwise not indicate the correct fuel level
after refuelling.
- Diesel vehicles* are equipped with a die
sel misfueling protector. It allows the
vehicle to be fueled only with a diesel
fuel pump nozzle. A worn or damaged nozzle or a nozzle that is too small may
not be able to open the diesel misfueling
protector. If this is the case, try tu rning
the nozzle before insert ing it in the fuel
filler neck, use a different fuel pump or
see your authorized Audi dea ler
or au
thorized repair facility for assistance.
- The fuel filler flap of your vehicle is not
locked when you lock the vehicle from
the inside.
