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.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Audi music interface*/Bluetooth au-
dio player*: mobile device is not sup-
ported.
Read the instructions in the chapter > page 176, Multimedia
connections/=> page 173, Bluetooth audio player.
Audi music interface*/AUX input: the
volume is too high/too low when
starting playback through the AUX in-
put.
Adjust the volume of the mobile device to approximately 70%
of the maximum output > page 181, Input level.
Audi music interface*: the portable
device is not recognized as a source.
For many cell phones or mobile devices, playback is not possi-
ble when the battery level is too low (less than 5% of its ca-
pacity). The mobile device will only be recognized as a media
source in the MMI after connecting if the battery charge level
is sufficient.
Audi music interface*: malfunctions
during audio playback through an
iPod/iPhone.
The Bluetooth audio player function is switched on. Switch
this function off > page 192 when you are not using the Blue-
tooth audio player.
AUX input: there is static when con-
necting and disconnecting the AUX
connection cable.
When connecting and disconnecting, the External audio play-
er source is already selected. Before connecting or disconnect-
ing the mobile device, either mute the device (see
=> page 193) or switch to a different audio source (for exam-
ple > page 165, Opening the radio).
Bluetooth audio player*/Wi-Fi audio
player*: audio playback interference.
Only one interface should be actively used at a time to ensure
problem-free playback.
Wi-Fi audio player*: audio playback
interference.
Audio playback interference can occur on some cell phones if
the Internet connection in the vehicle was not established
through the SIM card reader* on the MMI control panel and
the mobile data option on the cell phone is switched on. De-
activate the mobile data option on your cell phone.
Jukebox”: tracks on the imported
playlist are grayed out.
When importing playlists, all of the files themselves must be
imported.
Jukebox*: imported tracks cannot be
played or found.
If you cannot find imported tracks in the media center, they
may not be supported. Only copy supported files > page 183
to the Jukebox.
Wi-Fi audio player*: multiple devices
are connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot. A
media player (such as a smartphone)
appears as the media source and can-
not be changed.
Close the myAudi app on the connected devices (such as
smartphones) that are not being used as the Wi-Fi audio play-
er*. Likewise, close the UPnP server apps or the media permis-
sions on the integrated UPnP/DLNA server. Connect the de-
sired device as a Wi-Fi audio player* > page 174.
Online media*: connection failed be-
tween the MMI and the myAudi app.
To establish a connection to the MMI, the MMI connection
switch must be switched on in the myAudi app status screen.

Checking and Filling
a Electric system: malfunction! Battery is not
being charged
Drive to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility immediately. Turn off all un-
necessary electrical equipment because it will
drain the battery. See an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility if the battery
charge level is too low.
= Electrical system: low battery charge. Bat-
tery will be charged while driving
The starting ability may be impaired.
If this message turns off after a little while, the
vehicle battery has charged enough while driving.
If this message does not turn off, drive immedi-
ately to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
Battery
Battery general information
Because of the complex power supply, all work on
batteries such as disconnecting, replacing, etc.,
should only be performed by an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility > A\.
Multiple batteries with different technologies
may be installed in your vehicle:
— Vehicle battery (for example, for starting the
engine, basic power supply) > page 210, Lead
battery or > page 210, Other battery types
— Auxiliary battery (for example, for recuperation
or optional equipment) > page 210, Other bat-
tery types
Not running the vehicle for long periods of
time
The battery will gradually drain if the vehicle
does not run for long periods of time. To ensure
that the vehicle can still be started, the electrical
equipment will be limited or switched off. Some
convenience functions, such as interior lighting
or power seat adjustment, may not be available
under certain circumstances. The convenience
functions will be available again when you start
the
engine.
Even when electrical equipment is switched off,
the equipment can still drain the battery if the
vehicle is not driven for long periods of time.
Deep draining results in a chemical reaction that
destroys the inside of the battery. The battery
must be charged every month to prevent this
= page 210. Contact an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility for more infor-
mation.
Winter operation
Cold weather places higher demands on the bat-
tery. This results in reduced starting ability. Have
the battery checked by an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility before cold
weather begins.
ZA WARNING
— 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.
— Never connect the charging cable or jump
start cable directly to your vehicle battery.
Only use the connections in the engine com-
partment > page 210.
ZX WARNING
California Proposition 65 Warning:
— Battery posts, terminals and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harms.
Wash hands after handling.
C@) Note
If the vehicle will be parked for long periods
of time, protect the battery against the cold
so that it will not be destroyed by “freezing”
= page 210, Charging the battery.
