Coolant temperature indicator
The coolant temperature display c;, page 8,
fig. 3
CD only functions when the ignition is
sw itched on. To prevent engine damage, p lease
observe the following notes about the tempera
ture ranges.
Cold range
If on ly the LEDs in the left area of the gauge turn
on, the engine has not reached operating tem perature yet. Avoid high engine speeds, full ac
celerating 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 Infotain
ment system display turns on, the coolant tem
perature is too high

(I;} Note
-Aux iliary head lights 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 w ill increase. See an authorized
Audi dealer or author ized Audi Service Fa
cility for assistance .
Fuel level
The indicator@ only func tions when the ignition
i s sw itched on. If the fuel level drops below 1.9
gal (7
L), a red LED will light up and the rD indi
cator light will turn on
c::;, page 15. The LED
blinks red when the fuel level is very low.
