ZA\ WARNING
If there is a severe malfunction in the instru-
ment cluster, the display may turn off. The A
indicator light may also turn on. Stop the ve-
hicle safely. See an authorized Audi dealer or


authorized Audi Service Facility for assistance.

G) Tips
— You can select the units used for tempera-
ture, speed and other measurements in the
Infotainment system.
10
— Speeds are displayed in mph (miles per
hour) or km/h (kilometers per hour).
— If there is a malfunction in the instrument
cluster, DEF will appear in the trip odometer
display. Have the malfunction corrected as
soon as possible.
Coolant temperature
indicator
The coolant temperature display @ > page 10,
fig. 3 only functions when the ignition is switch-
ed on. To reduce the risk of engine 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 accel-
erating 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 Bg indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster display turns on, the coolant tem-
perature is too high > page 206.

8S1012721BB
Instrument cluster

@) Note
— Auxiliary headlights and other accessories in
front of the air intake impair the cooling ef-
fect of the coolant. This increases the risk of
the engine overheating during high outside
temperatures and heavy engine 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.
Tachometer
The tachometer @) > page 10, fig. 3 displays the
engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).
The beginning of the red zone in the tachometer
indicates the maximum permissible engine speed
for all gears once the engine has been broken in.
Before reaching the red zone, you should shift in-
to the next higher gear, choose the "D" or "S" se-
lector lever position, or remove your foot from
the accelerator pedal.
Engine speed limitation
Applies to: vehicles with center armrest
If the Ba indicator light turns on, the engine will
be automatically limited to the RPM displayed in
the instrument cluster. This will protect the en-
gine components, for example during a cold start
or 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 By 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.
CG) Note
The needle in the tachometer may only be in
the red area of the gauge for a short period of
time before there is a risk of damaging the
engine. The location where the red zone be-
gins varies depending on the engine.
Odometer
11:30"

Fig. 4 Instrument cluster: odometer and reset button
The trip odometer and odometer are displayed in
the status line ©) > page 10, fig. 3.
The trip odometer shows the distance driven
since it was last reset. It can be used to measure
short distances. The odometer shows the total
distance that the vehicle has been driven.
Resetting the trip odometer

> Press the reset button 0.0] on the instrument
cluster. The trip odometer will be reset to zero.
Gi) Tips
Distances are displayed in mi (miles) or km
(kilometers).

Outside temperature
display
The outside temperature is displayed in the sta-
tus line ©) > page 10, fig. 3.
If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driving at
very low speeds, the temperature displayed in
the instrument cluster may be slightly higher
than the actual temperature outside due to heat
radiating from the engine.

Fig. 77 Automatic climate control system: controls
You can control the functions through the dial,
buttons in the dial and the buttons. Press the
buttons to turn the functions on or off. When the
function is switched on, the LED in the respective
button or knob turns on.
Pressing the AUTO button and setting the tem-
perature to 72 °F (22 °C) is recommended. The
automatic climate control system automatically
maintains a temperature once it has been set.
The air temperature coming from the vents, the
blower speed, and the air distribution are also
automatically adjusted. In all heating mode func-
tions except defrost, the blower only switches to
a higher speed once the coolant has reached a
certain temperature.
$8 Blower
You can manually adjust the volume of air gener-
ated by the blower to your preference by turning
the knob @). The blower should always run at a
low setting to prevent the windows from fogging
and to ensure a continuous exchange of air inside
the vehicle. To have the blower regulated auto-
matically, press the AUTO button.
A/C Cooling mode
You can turn the cooling system on or off by
pressing the A/C button. The air is not cooled and
humidity is not removed when cooling mode is
switched off. This can cause fog on the windows.
70
BFV-0218
Cooling mode switches off automatically when
the outside temperature is below zero.
@ / @ Temperature
The temperature can be adjusted in small incre-
ments using the dial (2).
AUTO Automatic mode
The AUTO button turns on automatic mode. AU-
TO mode switches off once a button in the cli-
mate control system is pressed. Automatic mode
maintains a constant temperature inside the ve-
hicle. Air temperature, airflow and air distribu-
tion are controlled automatically.
Air distribution
The air distribution can be adjusted with the con-
trol @). To have the air distribution regulated au-
tomatically, press the AUTO button.
The round air vents in the cockpit are adjustable
=> page 71.
To keep the front side windows from fogging up
in damp weather, we recommend opening the
side air vents and tilting them to the side.
<& Recirculation mode
The recirculation mode can be turned on manual-
ly or automatically*.
— Switching manual recirculation mode on and
off: Press the <> button.

Checking and Filling


ZA WARNING
Incorrect use of the connection port for the
On Board Diagnostic System can cause mal-
functions, which can then result in accidents
and serious injuries.
— Only allow an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility to read out the
engine data.


Engine compartment
General information
Special care is required if you are working in the
engine compartment
For work in the engine compartment, such as
checking and filling fluids, there is a risk of in-
jury, scalding, accidents, and burns. For this
reason, follow all the warnings and general
safety precautions provided in the following in-
formation. The engine compartment is a dan-
gerous area. > /\.

ZA WARNING
— Turn the engine off.
— Switch the ignition off.
— Set the parking brake.
— Select the “P” (Park) selector lever position.
— Allow the engine to cool.
— Keep children away from the engine com-
partment.
— Never spill fluids on a hot engine. These flu-
ids (such as the freeze protection contained
in the coolant) can catch fire.
— Avoid short circuits in the electrical system.
— Never reach into the radiator fan. The fan is
temperature-controlled and can turn on
suddenly, even when the ignition is switched
off.
— Never open the hood when there is steam or
coolant escaping from the engine compart-
ment, because there is a risk that you could
be burned. Wait until no steam or coolant is
escaping.
— The cap on the coolant expansion tank must


never be opened when the coolant is hot.

200

The cooling system is under pressure. There
is a risk of burns
—To protect your face, hands, and arms from
hot steam or coolant, cover the cap with a
thick cloth when opening.
— Do not remove the engine cover under any
circumstances. This increases the risk of
burns.
— Due to the risk of electric shock, never touch
the ignition cable or other components in
the electronic high-voltage ignition system
when the engine is running or is starting.
— Ifa gear is engaged while the vehicle is sta-
tionary and the engine is running, do not
press the accelerator pedal inadvertently.
Pressing the accelerator pedal will cause the
vehicle to move, and this could result in an
accident.
— If inspections or repairs must be performed
while the engine is running, moving compo-
nents (such as the ribbed belt, generator,
and radiator fan) pose an additional risk.
— Set the parking brake first and select the
“P” (Park) selector lever position.
— Always make sure that no parts of the
body, jewelry, ties, loose clothing, and
long hair can be caught in moving engine
components. Before any work, always re-
move any jewelry and/or ties, tie back long
hair, and make sure all clothing fits close
to the body to reduce the risk of anything
becoming caught in engine components.
— Pay attention to the following warnings list-
ed when work on the fuel system or on the
electrical equipment is required.
— Do not smoke.
— Never work near open flames.
— Always have a working fire extinguisher
nearby.
— All work on the battery or electrical system
in your vehicle can result in injuries, chemi-
cal burns, accidents, or burns. Because of
this, all work must be performed only by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
— Limit your exposure to exhaust and chemi-
cals to as short a time as possible.

Checking and Filling

oil changed by an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility is recommended.
If you change the engine oil yourself, please note
the following important information:

ZA\ WARNING
If you change the engine oil on the vehicle
yourself, the following precautions must be
followed:
— Wear protective eyewear.
— Due to the risk of scalding, allow the engine
to cool down sufficiently.
— Maintain enough distance when you are re-
moving the oil drain plug. While doing this,
keep your forearm parallel to the ground to
reduce the risk of hot oil dripping down your
arm.
— Drain the oil into a container designed for
this purpose that is large enough to hold the
full amount of oil in your engine.
— Engine oil is poisonous. Always store out of
reach of children.
— Prolonged contact of used engine oil with
the skin may cause skin damage. Always
wash oil off immediately with soap and wa-
ter to protect your skin.

@) Note
Do not mix any additives with the engine oil.
Additives may cause engine damage that is
not covered by your New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
@) For the sake of the environment
— Before changing the engine oil, make sure
you can dispose of the used engine oil cor-
rectly.
— Engine oil must always be disposed of cor-
rectly. Do not dump it in the yard, in the for-
est, or in open water, river channels, or sew-
ers.
— Have your used engine oil recycled by bring-
ing it to a used oil collection site or contact
a gas station.
206
Cooling system
The engine cooling system is filled with a mixture
of purified water and coolant additive at the fac-
tory. This coolant must not be not changed.
The coolant level is monitored through the B in-
dicator light > page 206. However, occasionally
checking the coolant level manually is recom-
mended.
Messages
i Turn off engine and check coolant level. See
owner's manual
The coolant level is too low.
Stop driving and switch the engine off. Check the
coolant level > page 207.
— If the coolant level is too low, add coolant
= page 207. Only continue driving once the in-
dicator light turns off.
i Coolant temperature: too high. Please let
engine run while vehicle is stationary
Let the engine run at idle for a few minutes to
cool off, until the indicator light turns off.
— If the indicator light does not turn off, do not
continue driving the vehicle. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility
for assistance.
Coolant additive
The coolant additive is made of anti-freezing and
corrosion protection agents. Only use the follow-
ing coolant additives. These additives may be
mixed with each other.


Coolant additive Specification
Gl2evo TL774L
G12++ TL774G
G13 TL774)

The amount of coolant additive that needs to be
mixed with water depends on the climate where
the vehicle will be operated. If the coolant addi-
tive percentage is too low, the coolant can freeze
and damage the engine.
