24 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.
Shift light display in the rev counter
Applies to: vehicles with Audi virtual cockpit and shift light
display
The shift light display is only visible in the sport
view* ¢ page 25 when shifting gears in tiptron
ic mode. Green, yellow and red zones are dis
played in the high-rev area of the dial. The entire
rev counter flashes in red at engine speeds near
the limit. Remember to shift to the next gear in
good time.
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.

functions
The following Light functions depend on which
equipment is fitted in your vehicle and work only
when the Light switch is set to AUTO.
Static cornering light (turning light)* (on
vehicles with LED headlights) -the turning Light
is automatically activated when the steering
wheel angle exceeds a specified value (up to
about 70 km/h) or when the turn signals are
switched on (up to about 40 km/h). This feature
provides better illumination at the side of the ve
hicle when you turn off at a junction.
Motorway light* (on vehicles with LED head
lights) -this function adjusts the vehicle Lighting
on motorways, according to your speed.
Speed-dependent light distribution* (on
vehicles with LED headlights) -this function ad
justs the light distribution as required in towns,
on motorways and on other main roads. Intersec
tions can also be illuminated if your vehicle is
equipped with a navigation system*.
Headlight dip settings for driving at home
and abroad 1
)
If you drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left
hand drive country, or vice versa, it is not neces
sary to adjust the headlights, as they are de
signed for use when driving on the left or right.
A WARNING
- The automatic headlights* are only intended
to assist the driver. The driver must always
ensure that the headlights are used when
required, and may have to switch them on
manually when the Light conditions or visi
bility are poor. For example, the light sen
sors are not able to detect fog. Therefore,
you should always switch on the dipped
headlights io in these conditions and when
driving after dark.
- To avoid dazzling the traffic behind you, the
rear fog light should only be used in accord-
ance with statutory regulations.

The tyre pressures should always be checked
when the tyres are cold.
Do not use winter tyres all through the year; they
will increase fuel consumption by up to 10 %.
Avoid carrying unnecessary loads
Every kilo of extra weight will increase the fuel
consumption, so it is worth checking the luggage
compartment occasionally to make sure that no
unnecessary loads are being transported.
Save electrical energy
The engine drives the alternator to generate elec
tricity. This means that fuel consumption rises
when more power is required for electrical equip
ment. Switch off electrical equipment when it is
not needed. Electrical equipment which uses a
lot of electricity includes the blower (at a high
setting), the rear window heating and the seat
heating*.
Steering Adjusting the steering wheel position
The height and reach of the steering wheel can
be adjusted as required to suit the driver.
