two sections in the expanded view)
There may be additional indicator lights in the
tachometer @, the speedometer @, the status
line ® and, depending on the instrument clus
ter, above or below the central
area @.
The following pages will primarily show illustra
tions of the multi-color analog instrument clus
ter*. The display and/or position of the element
shown may vary in monochrome instrument clus
ters or in the Audi virtual cockpit*.
A WARNING
Do not assume the roads are free of ice based
on the outside temperature display. Be aware
that there may be ice on roads even when the
outside temperature is around 41 °F (+S °C)
and that ice can increase the risk of accidents.
(D Tips
-Depending on vehicle equipment, the in
strument illumination (needles and gauges)
may turn on when the lights are off and the
ignition is switched on. The illumination for
the gauges reduces automatically and even
tually turns off as brightness outside in
creases. This function reminds the driver to
turn the low beams on at the appropriate
time.
- You can select the units used for tempera
ture, speed and other measurements in the
Infotainment
system ¢ page 251.
- If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driv
ing at very low speeds, the temperature dis
played may be slightly higher than the ac
tual temperature outside due to the heat ra
diating from the engine.
- At temperatures below 41 °F (+S °C), a snowflake symbol appears in front of the
temperature display
c> &. .
Coolant temperature indicator
The coolant temperature display @¢ page 10,
fig. 3 or¢ page 10, fig. 4 only functions when
the ignition is switched on. To prevent engine
Cockpit overview
damage, please observe the following notes
about the temperature ranges.
Cold range
If only the LEDs at the bottom of the gauge turn
on, the engine has not reached operating tem
perature yet. Avoid high engine speeds , full ac
celeration 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. If
the. indicator light in the instru
ment cluster display turns on, the coolant tem
perature is too high
¢ page 30.
(D Note
-Auxiliary headlights and other accessories in
front of the cooling-air intake impair the
cooling effect of the coolant. This increases
the risk of the engine overheating during
high outside temperatures and heavy en
gine load .
- The 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 cility for assistance .
@ Tips
Diesel engines: due to the high efficiency of
these engines, the engine may not always reach operating temperature in cold outside
temperatures. This is normal and not a cause
for concern .

The engine has reached its operating tempera
ture when the engine oil temperature is between 176 °F (80 °() and 248 °F (120 °() under normal
driving conditions . The engine oil temperature
may be higher if there is heavy engine load and

Boost indicator
Applies to: ve hicles with Audi virtual cockpit
The boost indicator is only displayed in the sport
view
,:::, page 15.
The current engine load (meaning the current
boost pressure) is indicated by a bar .
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in rev
olutions per minute (RPM).
The beginning of the red zone in the tachometer
indicates the maximum perm iss ible engine speed
for all gears once the engine has been broken in and when it is warmed up to operating tempera
ture. Before reaching this zone, you should sh ift
into the next h ighest gear, select the D/S selec
tor lever position, or remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
