() 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

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.

filler door. For additional information on fuel,
see
~page 322.
The fuel tank capacity of your vehicle is listed in the
T ec hnical Dat a section ~ page 388.
To avoid fuel spill ing or evaporating from the fuel
tank always close fuel cap p roperly and com­
p letely . An improperly closed fue l filler cap may
a lso cause the MIL

A WARNING -
Not paying attention when fueling or han­
dling fue l incorrectly can lead to fires, exp lo ­
sions or serious in juries.
-Fuel ignites easily and can cause serious
burns and other injuries.
-If you do not switch the engine off when fu ­
eling and/or do not insert the fuel nozz le
completely into the tank opening, fue l can
leak out or run over. Leaked fuel can ignite
and start a fire.
-Do not use the telephone whi le fueling. The
electromagnetic rays can cause sparks,
wh ich can ignite fuel vapors and start a fire.
-Do not sit in your vehicle while fueling. If
you must make an except ion and enter your
vehicle again wh ile fue ling, close the door
and touch meta l to discharge static electric­
ity befo re touch ing the fue l nozzle. Static
elect ricity can create spar ks, wh ich can ig ­
ni te vapo rs when fue ling.
-Do not smoke or have an open flame in the
area when fueling your veh icle o r filling a
f uel contai ner because th is increases the
risk of an explos ion .
-For yo ur safety, carrying f uel containers in
yo ur vehicle is no t recommended. Whethe r
f ull or empty, the conta iner can leak a nd
cause a fire in the event of an accident .
-If you must make an exception and trans­
port a fuel container, note the following :
-Never fill the fuel container with fuel
while it is in or on the vehicle. Stat ic elec­
tr icity is d ischa rged when filling wh ich can
cause the f uel vapors to ignite and in­
creases the r isk of an explos ion.
-Always p lace a fuel containe r on the
g ro u nd before fi llin g.
Ch eck ing and Filling
-Always hold the fue l nozzle completely in
the fuel container when filling.
-If the fuel container is made of metal, the
fuel nozzle must always be in contact with
the container when filling it with fuel. This
prevents stat ic electricity from discharg­
ing .
-Never spill fuel in the vehicle or the lug­
gage compartment. Evaporated fuel is ex­
plosive and increases the risk of serious in­
jury or death .
-Follow legal requirements when using,
stor ing and transporti ng fuel conta iners .
-Make sure the fuel container conforms to
industry standards (ANSI/AS TM F8S2-86).
@ Note
-Remove spilled fuel from vehicle pa int im­
mediately, because it can damage paint.
-Never drive unti l the fuel tank is complete ly
empty. The irregular supply of fue l that re­
sults from that can cause eng ine misfires.
Uncombusted fuel will enter the exhaust
system and increase the risk of damage to
t he catalytic converte r.
-If the fue l tank runs complete ly empty in a
vehicle with a
diesel eng ine , the ignition
must remain swit ched on fo r at least 30
se conds afte r ref ueli ng before starti ng the
eng ine. It may take longer than usual fo r
t he engine to s tart, even up to a minu te.
T his is because the air must first b leed out
of the fue l system when starting the eng ine.
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not overfill the fuel tank, otherwise fuel
can leak out when the veh icle is warming up.
(D Tips
D iesel ve hicles are eq uipped w ith a diesel mis­
fueling guard .
It allows the vehi cle to be fu­
eled on ly with a diesel fuel pump nozzle. A
worn or damaged nozzle or a nozzle that is
too small may not be able to open the diese l
misfueling guard. If this is the case, try turn­
i ng the nozzle before inserting it in the fue l
filler neck, use a different fuel pump, o r see

(D Note
- The vehicle capacity weig ht figures apply
when the load is d istributed evenly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transport ing a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to the
rear axle as possible so that the vehicle's
hand ling is no t impa ired.
