@ For the sake of the environment
Upshifting early helps you to save fuel and re
duces operating noise.
@ Tips
Depending on the engine : the engine speed
may be limited when the engine is cold -the
full engine output will not be ava ilable . When
the engine is at operating temperature, the
red area in the tachometer moves to a h igher
RPM range .
Fuel level
The display (j) ~ page 10, fig. 3 or ~ page 10,
fig. 4 only functions when the ign ition is swi tch
ed on . When the display has reached the reserve
mark, a red LED turns on and the~ indicator
light t urns on~
page 31. The red LED wi ll blink
when the fuel level is very low .
For the tank capacity in you r vehicle , refer to the
Technical Data
~ page 379.
Cl) Note
Never drive until the tank is completely emp
t y. The irregular supp ly of fuel that results
from that can cause engine misfires . Uncom
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys
tem . This can cause overheating and damage
to the cata lytic converter .
Odometer

Off road driving
General information
The electronic stabilization contro l (ESC) func
tions were enhanced for driving offroad. Offroad
mode can be activated when driving in situat ions
where slippage or a differential lock function is
necessary
Q page 149. The hill descent ass ist is
a lso available, which automatically brakes the ve
hicle and maintains a constant speed as a result
~page 150. In addition, your Audi prov ides con
tinuous all wheel drive.
H owever , your Aud i is not a purely offroad vehi
cle . Your vehicle was not designed to d rive unde r
extreme ope rating conditions such as driving in
an expedition style.
Only drive in terrain that is suitable for the vehi
cle and your driving ability . Never take any un
necessary risks!
Before driving offroad
- Check the eng ine oil level, the tire pressure, the
coolant level and the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir .

when dr iv ing at excessively high speeds or
with incorrect driving maneuvers.
- Always adjust your speed and driving style
to the roads, terrain, traffic and weather
conditions . Drive especially slowly if there is
low visibility when offroad.
