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.
Instrument cluster
At temperatures below 41 °F (+5 °C), a snowflake
symbol appears in front of the temperature dis-
play > A.
ZA WARNING
Do not assume the roads are free of ice based
on the outside temperature display. Be aware
that there may be ice on roads even when the
outside temperature is around 41 °F (+5 °C)
and that ice can increase the risk of accidents.
Fuel level
The display @ > page 10, fig. 3 only works when
the ignition is switched on. When the display has
reached the reserve mark, a red LED turns on and
the iy indicator light turns on > page 197.
For the tank capacity in your vehicle, refer to the
Technical Data > page 263.
@) Note
Never drive until the tank is completely emp-
ty. The irregular supply of fuel that results
from that can cause engine misfires. Uncom-
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys-
tem. This can cause overheating and damage
to the catalytic converter.
