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
tems are marked with a./ in the following tables.
I f
one of these indicator lights does not turn on,
there is a malfunction in that system.

~Engine stop while driving
• Engine stopped: no power steering or brake
servo possible
There is a malfunction in the engine or in the fuel
supply system.
More force
is needed to steer and brake the mov­
ing vehicle
when the engine is stopped. If the ve­
hicle
is rolling, try to bring it to a stop off to the
side from moving traffic. See an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility for as­
sistance.
.& WARNING r-= ____,
If the engine stops while driving, you will
need
to use more f orce to brake the vehicle.
This i
ncreases th e risk of an acc ident. There
will still
be power steering if the ignition is
switched on while the vehicle is rolling and
there is sufficient battery charge. Otherwise,
you
must use greater force when steering.
~ Front safety belt
The . indicator light stays on until the driver's
and front passenger's• safety belts are fastened .
Above a certain
speed, there will also be a warn­
ing
tone.

@ For the sake of the environment
Even when the Emission Control System is op­
erating properly, the exhaust gas can have a
sulfur-like

Engine compartment
Working in the engine compartment
Special care is required if you are working in the
engine compartment
For work in the engine compartment such as
checking and filling fluids, there is a risk of in­
jury, scald ing , accidents, and burns. For this
reason, follow all the following listed warnings
and general safety precautions. The engine
compartment is a dangerous area. ~ & .
I'
A WARNING
-Turn the engine off.
-switch the ignition off.
-
Set the parking brake.
-
Place the selector lever in the P position.
- Let
the engine cool down.
- Never
open the hood when you see that
steam or coolant drips from the engine
compartment-there is a danger of burns!
Wait unti l no steam or coolant flows out.
- Keep children away from the engine com­
partment.
- Never spill fluids on a hot engine. These flu­
ids (such
as the freeze protection contained
in the coolant) can catch fire.
- Avoid
short circuits in the electrical system,
especially the battery.
-When working in the engine compartment,
remember that the radiator fan can switch
on even
if the ignition is switched off, which
increases
the risk of personal injury.
236
- Never open the cap on the coolant expan­
sion
tank when the engine is warm. The
cooling
system is under pressure.
-To protect your face, hands, and arms from
hot steam or coolant, cover the cap with a
large cloth when opening.
-Do not remove the engine cover under any
circumstances. This increases the risk of
burns.
-
If tests need to be performed with the en­
gine running, there is additional danger due
to moving components (such as the ribbed
belt, alternator and radiator fan) and from
the high voltage ignition system.
-Do not under any circumstances give gas in­
advertently (for example, by hand from the
engine compartment) if the vehicle is sta­
tionary but the engine is running and a gear
is engaged. Otherwise the veh icle will start
to move immediately and could result in a
crash.
-
Pay attention to the following warnings list­
ed when work on the fuel system or on the
electrical equipment is required.
- Always
disconnect the vehicle battery
from the vehicle electrical system.
-Do not smoke.
-Never work near open flames.
-Always have a working fire extinguisher
nearby
- To reduce
the risk of electric shock and in­
jury, never
touch the follow ing components
when t he engine is running or is being start­
ed:
- Ignition cable
-
Other components in the electronic high
voltage ignition system
-If you must check or perform work on the
engine while it is running:
-
Set the parking brake and place the selec­
tor lever in the P (park) position first.
- Always
proceed with extreme caution so
that clothing, jewelry or long hair do not
become caught in the radiator fan, fan
belt or other moving components or do
not come into contact with hot compo-
nents. Tie back long hair before beginning .,..

.&. WARNING
Before you check anything in the engine com­
partment, always read and heed all WARN­
INGS¢ page 236.
CD Note
Driving with an insufficient oil level is likely to
cause severe damage to the engine.
{!) Tips
-The oil pressure warning display. is not
an indicator of the oil level. Do not rely on
it. Instead, check the oil level in your en­
gine at regular intervals, preferably each
time you refuel , and always before going
on a long trip.
-If you have the impression your engi ne con­
sumes excessive amounts of oil, we recom­
mend that you consult an authorized Audi
dealer to have the cause of your concern
properly diagnosed. Keep
in mind that the
accurate measurement of oil consumption
requires great care and may take some
time. An authorized Audi dealer has instruc­
tions about how to measure oil consump­
tion accurately.
Checking the engine oil level
Fig. 185 Guide for determining levels on the oil dipstick
Determining the oil level
.. Park your vehicle on a level surface.
.. Let the engine run in idle briefly while it is at
operating temperature and then shut the en­
gine off .
.. Wait approximately two minutes.
240
.. Remove the oil dipstick. Wipe off the oil dip­
stick with a clean cloth and insert it all the way
in again.
.. Remove the dipstick again and then read the oil
level¢ fig. 185. Add engine oil if necessary
¢page240.
0 You must add oil. After adding oil, the level
should be
in the@area.
@ You may add oil. After adding oil, the level
should be
in the@area.
@
Do not add any oil.
The engine o
il consumption may be up to
0.5 quart per 600 m iles (0.5 liter/1,000 km), de­
p ending on driving style and operating cond i­
tions. Consumption may be higher during the
first 3,000 miles (S,000 km). Because of this, the
engine oil level must be checked regularly. It
would be best to check each time you refue l your
vehicle
and before long drives.

Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of
load or weight that any vehicle
and any tire can carry. A vehicle
that is overloaded will not handle
well and
is more difficult to stop.
Overloading can
not only lead to
loss of vehicle control, but can al­
so
damage important parts of the
vehicle and can lead to sudden
tire failure, including a blowout
and sudden deflation
that can
cause
the vehicle to crash.
Your safety and
that of your pas­
sengers also depends on making
sure that load limits are not ex­
ceeded. Vehicle load includes ev­
erybody and everything

the vehicle. These load limits are
technically referred
to as the vehi­
cle's Gross Vehicle
Weight Rat­
ing
("GVWR").
The "GVWR" includes the weight
of the basic vehicle, all factory in­
stalled accessories, a full tank of
fuel, oil, coolant and other fluids
plus maximum load. The maxi­
mum load includes
the number of
passengers that the vehicle is in­
tended to carry ("seating capaci­
ty") with an assumed weight of
150 lbs (68 kg) for each passen­
ger
at a designated seating posi­
tion and
the total weight of any
luggage
in the vehicle.
The Gross Axle
Weight Rating
("GAWR") is the maximum load
that can be applied at each of the
vehicle's two axles.
