ferent temperature ranges.
Engine cold
If the LEDs are still in the left-hand range of the
display, this indicates that the engine has not yet
reached operating temperature. Avoid high en
gine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine
loads.
Normal temperature
In normal operation the LEDs will settle some
where in the centre of the dis play once the en
gine has reached operating temperature. The
LEDs may also extend further into the right-hand
range of the display when the engine is working

appears in the dis
play, the coolant temperature is too high
¢page 12.
CD CAUTION
- Additional lights and other accessories in
front of the air inlet reduce the cooling ef
fect of the radiator. At high outside temper
atures and high engine loads, there is a risk
of the engine overheating.
- The front spoiler also ensures proper distri
bution of the cooling air when the vehicle is
moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can
reduce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Obtain professional
assistance.
� Note
Diesel engines are so efficient that they may
not reach their full operating temperature in
very cold weather. This is quite normal and no
cause for concern.

The gauge @ only works when the ignition is
switched on. If there is less than 7 litres of fuel in
the tank, the LED at the bottom of the dial will
light up in red and the indicator lamp tD will ap
pear c:::>page 16. The LED at the bottom of the
dial will flash in red if the fuel level is very low.
The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the
Technical data section c:::> page 258.
CD CAUTION
Never run the tank completely dry. If there is
an irregular fuel supply, misfiring can occur.
Unburnt fuel can then enter the exhaust sys
tem. This can lead to overheating and dam
age to the catalytic converter.
Warning and indicator
lamps
Description
The warning and indicator lamps light up or flash
in the instrument cluster. Their purpose is to in
dicate functions or faults.
Some of the warning and indicator lamps may be
accompanied by a driver message and a warning
tone. The warning/indicator lamps and driver
messages on the display can be masked by fur
ther displays. To display a warning or message
again, use the controls on the multi-function
steering wheel to select the display tab for warn
ing/indicator lamps and messages c:::> page 18.
If several malfunctions have occurred, you can
use the thumbwheel to scroll through them on
the display.
Some of the warning lamps may be displayed in
different colours.

Rev counter
The rev counter indicates the number of engine
revolutions per minute.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the
maximum engine speed which may be used brief
ly in all gears when the engine is warm and after
it has been run in properly. However, it is advisa
ble to change up a gear or move the selector lev
er to D/S (or lift your foot off the accelerator) be
fore the needle reaches the red zone.
CD CAUTION
The rev counter needle must only ever briefly
go into the red zone on the scale; otherwise
there is a risk of engine damage. The start of
the red zone on the dial is different for some
engine versions.
@ For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to save
fuel and minimise engine noise.

Mileage recorder
Fig. 11 Instrument cluster: Mileage recorder and reset
button
The mileage is stated in kilometres ("km") or
miles. You can switch the display from kilometres
to miles and vice versa via the infotainment sys
tem.
Right mileage recorder
The trip recorder shows the distance that has
been travelled since it was last reset. It is used to
measure individual journeys. The last digit of the
trip recorder indicates distances of 100 metres or
tenths of a mile.
The trip recorder can be reset to zero by pressing
the reset button �-
Left mileage recorder
The odometer on the left records the vehicle's to
tal mileage.
Fault display
If there is a fault in the instruments, the letters
DEF appear in the trip recorder display. Have the
fault rectified as soon as possible.
On-board computer
Fig. 12 Instrument cluster: Time and date display
22 Fig.
13 Instrument cluster: Consumption display
You can call up the following information se
quentially on the on-board computer:
- Time & date ¢ page 186
- Average fuel consumption (ltr./100 km)
- Single journey memory summary
- Total journey memory summary
The single journey memory processes the infor
mation on a journey from the time the ignition is
switched on until it is switched off. If the journey
is resumed within two hours after the ignition is
switched off, the new figures are automatically
included in the calculation.
Unlike the single journey memory, the total jour
ney memory is not erased automatical ly. In this
way, you can determine the period for which you
wish the on-board computer to supply driving in
formation.
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption can be shown in a
bar display ¢ Fig. 13. The average fuel consump
tion (ltr./100 km) from the single journey memo
ry can also be displayed. If the bar turns green,
your vehicle is saving fuel using one of the fol
lowing functions:
- Recuperation: Electrical energy can be stored in
the battery (recuperation) if the vehicle is trav
elling downhill or coasting in gear (overrun). In
this case, the bar will move towards the 0
symbol.

Roof carrier
The roof carrier must be attached only in the
area of the Locating pins.
Fig. 63 Attachment points for carrier units
Note the following points if you intend to carry
loads on the roof:
- The rain channels are moulded into the roof as
part of the aerodynamic roof design. It is there
fore not possible to mount conventional roof
luggage racks. We recommend using the carrier
units from the range of Audi Genuine accesso
ries.
- These carrier units form the basic elements of a
complete roof carrier system. Special fixtures
must then be added in order to safely transport
luggage, bicycles, skis, surf boards or boats on
the roof. All the elements of this system are
available from Audi dealers.
- The maximum permissible roof load for your
vehicle is 75 kg. The load limit applies to the
combined weight of the carrier system and the
load itself.
- It will not be possible to carry the full maxi
mum load if the roof carrier you are using is rat
ed for a load which is less than this figure. Do
not exceed the maximum weight limit for the
roof carrier, which is listed in the fitting instruc
tions.
Mounting
The feet of the carrier units must be fitted exact
ly in the area of the locating pins between the
side frame and the roof frame trim qfig. 63. The
locating pins come into view when you push the
sealing lip back off the roof frame trim using the
tool provided for this purpose.
52 &
WARNING
- To prevent accidents, loads carried on the
roof must be securely attached.
- Do not exceed the maximum roof load for
the vehicle, the maximum axle loads or the
maximum gross vehicle weight, as this
could cause an accident.
- When transporting heavy or bulky loads on
the roof, bear in mind that the car's han
dling is affected by the extra weight on the
roof and a possible susceptibility to cross
winds. Adjust your speed and driving style
accordingly to avoid accidents.
Any damage to the vehicle caused by the use
of other types of roof rack or incorrect instal
lation will not be covered by the factory war
ranty. The roof carrier system must therefore
be installed exactly according to the instruc
tions provided.
it!) For the sake of the environment
Roof carriers are often left attached for con
venience, even when they are not being used.
However, the increased air resistance means
that the vehicle uses more fuel. For this rea
son you should always take off the roof carrier
when it is not in use.
