Instruments and indicator lights
reached the reserve mark, the bottom LED will
turn red and the
ljJ indicator light turns on
¢
page 23. The bottom LED blinks red when
the fuel level is very low.
The on-board computer shows the range based
on the fuel level¢
page 28, On-board comput­
er display.
For the tank capacity in your vehicle, refer to the
Technical Data
¢ page 260.
(D Note
Never drive until the tank is completely emp­
ty. The irregular supply of fuel that results
from that can cause engine misfires. Uncom­
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys­
tem. This can cause overheating and damage
to the catalytic converter.
Coolant temperature indicator
In vehicles without a coolant temperature indica­
tor, an indicator light. will turn on when the
coolant temperature is too high ¢
page 19. Re­
fer to ¢(1) .
The coolant temperature indicator @c:>
page 10,
fig . 3 only works when the ignition is switched
on . To prevent engine damage, please observe
the following notes about the temperature rang­
es.
Cold range
If only the LEDs at the bottom of the gauge turn
on, the engine has not reached operating tem­ perature yet. Avoid high engine speeds, full accel­
erating and heavy engine loads.
Normal range
The engine has reached its operating tempera­
ture once the LEDs up to the center of the gauge
turn on under normal driving conditions . The
LEDs higher up may turn on if the engine is under
heavy load or the outside temperature is high.
This is no cause for concern as long as the. in­
dicator light in the instrument cluster does not
turn on.
12
Hot range
If the LEDs in the upper area of the display and
the . indicator light in the instrument cluster
display turn on, the coolant temperature is too
high
c:> page 19 .
A WARNING
-Never open the hood if you can see or hear
steam or coolant escaping from the engine
compartment. This increases the risk of
burns. Wait until you no longer see or hear
steam or coolant escaping.
- The engine compartment in any vehicle can
be a dangerous area . Stop the engine and al­
low it to cool before working in the engine
compartment. Always follow the informa­
tion found in ¢
page 198, Working in the
engine compartment.
(D Note
- In vehicles with a boost pressure indicator* ,
this indicator replaces the temperature dis­
play. To promote a long engine service life,
avoiding high engine speeds, full accelera­
tion and heavy engine loads during approxi­
mately the first 15 minutes when the en­
gine is cold is recommended . The amount of
time until the engine is warm depends on
the outside temperature . Check the engine
oil temperature* if necessary .
c:> page 30
-Auxiliary headlights and other accessories in
front of the cooling-air intake impair the
cooling effect of the coolant. This increases
the risk of the engine overheating during
high outside temperatures and heavy engine
load.
- The front spoiler also helps to distribute
cooling air correctly while driving. If the
spoiler is damaged, the cooling effect will
be impaired and the risk of the engine over­
heating will increase. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa­
cility for assistance.

Checking and Filling
of vehicle batteries improperly is very danger­
ous to the environment.

Service interval display
The service interval display detects when your ve­
hicle is due for service.

(example)
l6 M 0 ;:;. co m
The service interval display works in two stages:
-Inspection or oil change reminder: After a cer ­
tain distance driven, a message appears in the
instrument cluster display each time the igni­
tion is switched on or off¢ fig. 166. The re­
maining distance or time is disp layed briefly.
- Inspection or oil change due: If your vehicle
has reached an inspection or oi l change interval
or both intervals at the same time, the mes­
sage:
Inspection due! or Oil change due! or Oil
change and inspection due!
appears briefly af­
ter switching the ignition on/off.
Checking service intervals
You can check the rema ining distance or time un­
til the next oil change or next inspection in the

Bead
means the part of the tire that is
made of steel wires, wrapped or
reinforced by ply cords and that is
shaped to fit the rim.
Bead separation
means a breakdown of the bond
between components in the bead.
Cord
means the strands forming the
plies in the tire .
Cold tire inflation pressure
means the tire pressure recom­
mended by the vehicle manufac­
turer for a tire of a designated
size that has not been driven for
more than a couple of miles (kilo­
meters) at low speeds in the three
hour period before the tire pres­
sure is measured or adjusted.
Curb weight
means the weight of a motor ve ­
hicle with standard equipment in­
c luding the maximum capacity of
fuel, oil, and coolant, air condi ­
tioning and add itional weight of
optional equipment.
E xtra load t ire
means a tire designed to operate
at higher loads and at higher in -
Tires a nd whe els
flation pressures than the corre­
spond ing standard tire. Extra load
tires may be identified as "XL",
" xl", "EXTRA LOAD", or "RF" on
the sidewall.
Gross A xle Weight R ating
( " GAWR")
means the load -carrying capacity
of a single axle system, measured
at the tire-ground interfaces .
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(" GVWR ")
means the maximum total loaded
weight of the vehicle.
Groove
means the space between two ad­
jacent tread ribs.
Load rating (code )
means the maximum load that a
tire is rated to carry for a given in ­
flation pressure . You may not find
this information on all tires be­ cause it is not required by law.
Ma ximum load rating
means the load rating for a tire at
the maximum permissible infla­
tion pressure for that tire.
Ma ximum loaded vehicle
weight

- When removing heavy components like
these, anchor vehicle to ho ist o r add corre­
sponding weights to maintain the center of
gravity . Otherwise, the vehicle might tilt or

injury .
([) Note
-Be awa re of the fo llowing points befo re lift ­
i ng t he ve hicle:
-The vehicle should never be lifted or
jacked up from underneath the engine oil pan, the transmission housing, the front
or rear axle or the body side members.
This could lead to serious damage.
- To avoid damage to the underbody or
chassis frame , a rubber pad must be in·
serted between the floo r jack and the lift
points.
- Before driving over a wo rkshop hoist,
check that the veh icle weight does not
e xceed the permiss ible lift ing capacity of
the hoist.
- Before driv ing over a workshop hoist, en­
sure that there is sufficient clearance be­
tween the hoist and low parts of the ve­
hicle .

Techni cal data
- Exceeding permiss ible weight ratings can
result in veh icle damage, acc idents and per­
sonal injury.
(D Note
- The vehicle capacity weig ht figu res app ly
when the load is d istributed evenly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transport ing a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to the
rear axle as possible so that the vehicle 's
hand ling is not impaired .
- Do not exceed the maximum permissib le
ax le loads or the maximum gross veh icle
we igh t. Always remember that the vehicl e's
hand ling will be affected by the e xtra load.
T herefore, adjus t your speed accordingly.
- Always observe local regulat io ns.
