switched
on. T o prevent engine damage, please
observe the following notes about the tempera
ture ranges.
Cold range
If o nly the LEDs in the left area of the gauge turn
on, the engine has not reached operating tem
perature yet. Avoid high engine speeds, full ac
celerating 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 farther to the right may turn on if the en
gine is under heavy load or the outside tempera
ture is high. This is no cause for concern as long
8
as the. indicator light in the Infotainment dis
play does not turn on. If the red LED in the rig ht
s ide of the display and the. indicator light in
the d isplay turn on, the coolant temperature is
too high ~page 12.
CD Note
-Auxi lia ry headlights and other ac cessories in
front of the cooling-air intake impair th e
cooling
effect o f the coolant. T his increases
the risk of the engine overheating during
high
outside temperatures and heavy en
gine load.
- T
he 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
c ility
for assist ance.
Fuel level
The indicator@ only funct ions when the ignition
i s sw i
tched on. If the fuel level drops below 1.9
gal (7 L), the left LED will light up red and the~ .,.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine indicator light will turn on ¢page 16. The bot
tom LED blinks red when the fuel level is very
low.
The
fuel tank capacity of your vehicle is listed in
the Technical Data section¢ page 299.
0 Note
Never drive until the tank is completely emp
ty.
The irregular suppl y of fuel that results
from that can cause engine misfi res. Uncom
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys
tem. Th is can cause overheating and damage
to the catalytic converter.
Indicator Lights
Description
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
blink or turn on. They indicate functions or mal
functions.
Wit h some ind icator lights, messages may ap
pear and warning signals may sound. The indica
tor lights and messages in the display can be cov
ered by other displays. To show them again, se
lect the tab for the indicator lights and messages
using the multifunction steering wheel
¢page 19. If there are several malfunctions,
you can display them one at a time using the
thumbwheel.
Some indicators lights in the display can turn on
in several colors.
Overview
Some indicator lights turn on briefly as a function
check when you switch the ignition on. These sys

If the II indicator light turns on if there is a mal
function in
the engine control.
Drive slowly
to an authorized Audi dealer or au
thorized Audi Service Facility
to have the engine
checked .
o System indicator light (MIL)
The system indicator light (MIL) is part of the On
Board Diagnostic system (OBD II). The ¢.j sym
bol turns on when the ignition is switched on and
turns
off again once the engine is started and
running
at a steady idle speed. This indicates that
the MIL is functioning correctly.
The indicator
light turns on if there is a malfunc
tion in the engine electronics. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility
to
have the malfunction corrected.
For additional
information, refer to¢ page 17.
!?\Engine speed limitation
Applies to vehicles wit h en gi ne speed lim itation
(I! Maximum engine speed: XXXX rpm
The engine speed is automatically limited to the
speed displayed in the driver information system.
This protects
the engine from overheating.
The engine speed
limitation deactivates once the
engine is no longer in the critical temperature
range and you have released the accelerator ped
al once.
If the engine speed limitation was activated by
an engine
control malfunction, the II indicator
light also turns on. Make sure the engine speed
does
not go above the speed displayed, for exam
ple when downshifting. Drive
to an authorized
Audi dealer or authori z
ed Audi Service Facility im
mediately to have the malfunction corrected.
~ Engine oil level (min.)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Instruments and indicator lights
Drive with reduced engine performance (avoid
high
speeds for extended periods of time and/ or
fast acceleration) and have the malfunction cor
rected. See an authorized Audi dealer or author
ized Audi Service Facility.
The
indicator may turn on if the electronic speed
lim iter is faulty. For additional information, refer
to c:> page 72, Electronic speed limiter.
On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 4 Locat ion of Data Link Connector (DLC)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the components
of your emission control system. Each monitored
component in your engine system has been as
signed a code. In case of a malfunction, the com-
18
ponent will be identified and the fault stored as a
code in the control module memory.
The MIL light may also illum inate if there is a
l
eak in the on-boar d fuel vapor recovery system.
If the light illuminates after a refuelling, stop
the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler cap is
properly closed c:> page 233.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stor
ed data can only be displayed using special d iag
nostic equipment (generic scan tool for OBD).
In order to connect the special diagnostic equip
ment, push the plug into the Data Link Connector
(DLC). The DLC is located to the right of the hood
release c:> fig. 4.
Your authorized Audi dealer or a qualified service
station can interpret the code and perform the
necessary repair.
11. WARNING
Do not use the diagnostic connector for per
sonal use. Incorrect usage can cause malfunc
tions, which can increase the risk of a colli
sion!

If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driv
ing
at very low speeds, the temperature dis
played may
be slightly higherthan the ac
tual temperature outside due to the heat ra
diating
from the engine .
