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

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

~page29.
Lights and Vision
Front passenger's exterior mirror tilt
function*
To help you see the curb when backing into a
parking space,
the surface of the mirror tilts
slightly. For this to happen, the knob must be in
the position for the front passenger 's outside
mirror.
You can adjust the tilted mirror surface by turn
ing the knob in the desired direction . When you
move
out of reverse and into another gear, the
new
mirror position is stored and assigned to the
key you are using.
The
mirror goes back into its original position
once you drive forward faster than 9
mph
(15 km/h) or turn the ignition off.
A WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (convex) enlarge the
field of vision. However, they make objects in
the mirror appear smaller and further away.
Your may estimate incorrectly when you use
these mirrors
to gauge your distance from the
vehicles behind you when changing lanes -ac
cident risk!
CJ) Note
If the mirror housing was moved by outside
f orces (such
as an impact when maneuver
ing), you
must use the power folding function
to fold the mirror all the way out. The mirror
housing must not be moved back into place
by hand because
this would impair the func
tion of the mirror mechanism.
@ Tips
If the power adjusting function malfunctions,
the glass in both mirrors can be adjusted by
pressing on
the edge of it by hand.

Climate control system
Description
The climate control system warms, cools and
adds humidity to the air in the vehicle interior. It
functions most effectively when the windows are
closed. If there is a build-up of heat inside the ve
hicle, ventilation can help to speed up the cooling
process.
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air .
Key recogniti on
Certain settings are automatically stored and as
signed to t h e remote control key being used.
.&. WARNING
Poor visibility can lead to accidents.
-For safer driving, keep all windows free of
ice, snow and fog.
- Become familiar
as quickly as possible with
the correct use and function of the climate
control system, especially with the defrost
ing and defogging function.
-
When the temperature is below freezing,
only use the windshield washer system after
the windshield has been warmed by the cli
mate control system. The washer flu id could
freeze on the windshield and impair visibili
ty.
CD Note
-If you suspect that the climate control sys
tem is damaged, sw itch the system off to
52
prevent further damage and have it checked
by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
- Repairs
to the Audi climate control system
require special technical knowledge and
special tools. See an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility.
® For the sake of the environment
Reducing the amount of fuel used also re
duces the amount of pollutants that enter the
air.
('!) Tips
-To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output a nd to prevent the win
dows from fogging over, the air intake in
front of the windshield must be free of ice,
snow or leaves.
-
Condensation from the cooling system can
drip
and form a puddle of water under the
veh icle. This is normal and does not mean
there is a leak.
- The
energy management system may switch
the seat heating* or rear window defroster
off temporarily. These systems are available
again as soon as the energy balance has
been restored.
-The flows through the vents under the rear
window. Make sure the openings are not
covered when placing clothing on the lug
gage compartment cover.
