The instrument illumination for the needles
and dials turns on when the ignition is turned
on and the lights are turned off. The illumina­
tion for the gauges reduces automat ica lly and
eventually turns off as brightness outside in­
creases . This function reminds the driver to
turn the low beams on at the appropriate
time.

on. To prevent engine damage, please observe
the following notes about the temperature rang­
es.
Cold range
If the needle is at the bottom of the gauge, the
engine has not reached operating temperature
yet. Avoid high eng ine speeds, full accelerating
and heavy engine loads.
Normal range
The engine has reached operating temperature
when the needle moves into the center of the
gauge under norma l driving condit ions. The nee­
dle may move farther to the right on the gauge
with heavier engine load at hig h outside temper ­
atu res . This is no cause for concern as long as the
• indicator light in the instrument cluster does
not turn on.
If the needle is far over on the r ight side of the
gauge and the. indicator light turns o n in the
i nst rument cluster, then the coolant tempera­
ture is too high

On Board Diagnostic
System (OBD)
Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
The ma lf u nction ind icator lamp (MI L) Ill in t he
inst rument cluste r is pa rt of the On Board D iag­
nostic System (OBD II).
T he w arning/i ndic ator lig ht tu rn s o n when the ig ­
nition is switche d on and tu rns off once the en­
gine is starte d and is running in idle at a stab le
speed. This indicates t hat the MIL is f unctioning
correctly.
If the light does not turn off after starting the
engine
or t urns on while driving, this may ind i­
cate there is a malfunction in the eng ine. If the
i ndicator tu rns on, the catalytic conve rter may be
damaged .
Drive
with reduced engine performance (avo id
high speeds for extended periods of t ime and/o r
fast acceleration) and have the malfu nction cor­
rected . See an author ized Audi dealer or author ­
ized Audi Service Facility .
The indicator may turn on if the e lectronic speed
limiter is faulty . For addit ional information, see
¢ page 18, Electronic speed limiter .
The MIL may also turn on if the fuel filler cap is

Opening and closing
Central locking
Description
You can lock and unlock the veh icle centrally . You
have the following options:
- Remote control key
c> page 25,
-Sensors in the door handles* c> page 26,
-Inner central locking switch c> page 2 7, or
- Lock cylinder on the driver's door
c> page 28.
Turn signals
The turn s ignals flash tw ice when you un lock the
veh icle and flash once when you lock the vehicle.
If the vehicle is unlocked and the flashing contin­
ues, then
- one of the doors or the luggage compa rtment
lid is open,
- the ignition is still switched on, or
- the P selector lever position (vehicles with au -
tomat ic transmission*) is not engaged.
Auto Lock
The Auto Lock function locks all doors and the
luggage compartment lid once the speed has ex­
ceeded approximately 9 mph (15 km/h) .
T he vehicle can be unlocked if the opening func­
tion in the central locking system switch is used,
one of the door handles is pulled or the ignition key is removed.
In the event of a crash with airbag deployment,
the doors will also automatically unlock to allow
access to the vehicle.
Selective door unlocking
The doors and luggage compartment lid will lock
when they close. You can set in the Infotainment
system if
only the driver's door or the entire vehi ­
cle shou ld unlock when unlocking

Opening and closing
- If the driver's door is open, the vehicle cannot
be locked by pressing the
fi'.J button on the re­
mote contro l key or touching the locking sen­
sor* on a door.
- When locking using the
ffi button in the central
locking switch, the vehicle will not lock if a door
is open
c> page 27.
- If the most recently used convenience key* is in
the luggage compartment, the luggage com­
partment lid automatically unlocks again after
closing it
c> page 28. The emergency flashers
blink four times.
Do not lock your vehicle with the remote control
key or convenience key* until all doors and the
luggage compartment lid are closed . This helps
to prevent you from locking yourself out acc iden­
tally .
A WARNING
- When you leave the vehicle, always remove
the ignition key and take it with you. This
will prevent passengers (children, for exam­
ple) from accidenta lly being locked in the
vehicle should they accidentally press the
power locking switch in the front doors.
- Do not leave children inside the vehicle un­
supervised. In an emergency it would be im­
possible to open the doors from the outside
without the key.
(D Tips
- Do not leave valuables unattended in the ve­
hicle. A locked vehicle is not a safe!
- The LED in the driver's door rail blinks when
you lock the vehicle . If the LED lights up for
approximately 30 seconds after locking,
there is a malfunction in the central locking
system . Have the problem corrected by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
