® Left additional display (divided in
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 .

() appears in the instrument clus ­
ter.
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
h igh temperatu res outside. This is not a ca use for
concern as long as
the . ,::::, page 31 or El

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.
d) Note
The needle in the tachometer @,::::, page 10,
fig . 3
or ,::::, page 10, fig . 4 may only be in the
red a rea of the gauge fo r a short time or there
is a risk of engine damage. The location where

(D Note
Never drive until the tank is comp letely emp­
ty . The irregular supply of fuel t hat results
from that can cause engine misfires. Uncom­

!?i Engine speed limitation
(ill Maximum engine speed: XXXX rpm
The engine speed is automatically limited to the
speed displayed in the instrument cluster. 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 to an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility im­
mediately to have the malfunction corrected.

Intelligent Technology
CJ) Note
- Neve r let the brakes "rub" by pressing the
pedal light ly when bra king is not actually
necessary. This causes the brakes to over­
heat and increases braking d istance and
causes wear .
- Before driv ing downhill a long distance on a
steep hi ll, decrease your speed and select a
l ower gear. This makes use of the engine
b raking effect and re lieves the brakes . If
you need to b rake additionally , brake in in­
te rvals and n ot co nti nu ously .
(J) Tips
-If the b rake booster is no t wo rking, you
must press the brake pedal with much more
fo rce th an norma l.
- If you re trofit you r vehicle with a fron t spoil­
e r, whee l cove rs o r similar items, ma ke sure
th at t he ai r flow to the fron t wheels is not
i nte rr upt ed . Ot he rw ise the bra ke sys tem

Telephone Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with telephone
To make phone coils in your vehicle using the
/11/111, connect your cell phone to the /11/111 via
Bluetooth.
Hand sfree
Afte r you have connected you r ce ll phone to the
MMI via Bluetooth , you can use the handsfree
system and operate telephone functions through
your MMI. You can make calls using the antenna on your cell phone.
A WARNING
- Med ical experts warn that cell phones can
interfere w ith the funct ion of pacemakers .
Always mainta in a m inimum d istance of 20
cent imeters between the cell phone anten­
na and the pacemaker.
- Do not carry the cell phone in a pocket di­
rectly over the pacemaker when the phone
is switched on.
- Sw itch the cell phone off immediately if
you suspect it may be interfering w ith the
pacemaker.
- Do not use the vo ice recognit ion system*
Q poge 171 in emergencies because your
vo ice may change in stressful situations . It
may take longer to dial the number or the
system may not be able to dial it at all. Dial
the emergency numbe r manua lly.
- Switch your cell phone off in areas where
there is a risk of an exp losion . These loca­
tions are not always clearly mar ked. This
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical
storage facilities or transport vehicles, or lo­ cations where fue l vapors (such as propane
or gaso line vapor in vehicles or bui ldings),
chemicals or large quantities of dust parti­
cles (such as flour, sawdust or metal) may
be present in the air. This also applies to all
other locations where you would normally
turn yo ur vehicle engine off .
- The demands of traffic requ ire yo ur full at­
tent ion . Always read the chapter
