@ Tips
The instrument illumination for the needles
and dia ls 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 . T his function reminds the drive r to
turn the low beams on at the approp riate
time.

on. To prevent engine damage, please observe
the following notes about the temperature rang­
es.
Cold ran ge
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 . If the needle is far ove r on the r ight side
of the gauge and the. in dicator light turns on
i n the instrument cluster, then the coolant tem­
peratu re is too high

high outside temperatures and heavy en­

- The front spoiler also he lps 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.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in rev­
olutions per minute (RPM) .
You should shift to the next lowest gear when
the engine speed is below 1,SOO RPM . The begin­
ning of the red zone in the tachometer indicates
the maximum permissible engine speed for all
gears once the engine has been broken in and
when it is warmed up to operating temperat ure.
Before reaching the red zone, you shou ld shift in­
to the next higher gear, choose the Dor S selec­
tor lever position, or remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
CD Note
The needle in the tachometer @Q page 8,
fig. 3 may only be in the red area of the gauge
for a short time or there is a risk of engine
damage.
@ For the sake of the environment
Upshifting ea rly helps you to save fuel and re­
duces operating noise.
Fuel level
The fuel level indicator only operates when the
ignition is switched on.
The
tD ¢ page 15 turns on if the reserve quan ­
tity of fue l is reached.
The fuel tank capacity of your vehicle is listed in
the
Technical Data section ¢ page 210.
CD Note
Never drive until the tank is completely emp­
ty. The irregular supply of fuel that results
Instruments and indicator lights
from that can cause engine misfires . Uncom­
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys­
tem. This can cause overheat ing and damage
to the catalytic converter.
