Most of the illustrations on the following pages
show the colour analogue instrument cluster*.
The display and position of the elements may be
different on the monochrome instrument cluster
or the Audi virtual cockpit*.
1) Note
- Depending on the vehicle equipment, the
instrument lighting (for dials and needles)
may be switched on when the ignition is on
and the vehicle's lights are off. The illumi­
nation of the diaLs and needles is automati­
cally reduced as it becomes dark outside
and is eventually switched off altogether.
This function is intended to remind the driv­
er to switch on the dipped headlights in
good time.
- You can change the measurement units for
temperature or speed, etc. via the infotain­
ment system

Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauge
(T) ^>page
12,
Fig.
41 ^>page
12, Fig. 3 only works when the ig­
nition is switched on. In order to avoid possible
damage to the engine, please read the following
notes for the different temperature ranges.
Engine cold
If the LEDs are still in the lower range of the dis­
play, this indicates that the engine has not yet
reached operating temperature. Avoid high en­
gine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine

loads.

Normal temperature
The LEDs will settle somewhere in the centre of
the display once the engine has reached operat­
ing temperature. If the warning lamp || lights
up in the instrument cluster display, the coolant
temperature is too high
<^>page
30.
© CAUTIO
- Additional lights and other accessories in
front of the air inlet reduce the cooling ef­
fect of the radiator. At high outside temper­
atures and high engine loads, there is a risk
of the engine overheating.
- The front spoiler also ensures proper distri­
bution of the cooling air when the vehicle is

moving.
If the spoiler is damaged this can
reduce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Obtain professional
assistance.
® Note
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
These engines are so efficient that they may
not reach their full operating temperature in
very cold weather. This is quite normal and no
cause for concern.
Rev counter

The
rev counter indicates the number of engine
revolutions per minute.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the
maximum engine speed which may be used brief­
ly in all gears when the engine is warm and after
it has been run in properly. However, it is advisa­
ble to change up a gear or move the selector lev­
er to D/S (or
lift your
foot
off
the accelerator) be­
fore the needle reaches the red zone. •

The rev counter needle (2)
^>page
12, Fig.

^>page
12, Fig. 3 must only ever briefly go in­
to the red zone on the scale; otherwise there
is a risk of engine damage. The start of the
red zone on the dial is different for some en­
gine versions.

For
the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to save
fuel and minimise engine noise.
Fuel gauge
The gauge
(§) ^>page
12, Fig. 4
I ^>page
12,
Fig. 3 only works when the ignition is switched

on.
When the gauge reaches the reserve zone, a
red LED will light up and the indicator lamp
Q3

will appear
^>page
35. The LED will flash in red
if the fuel Level is very Low.
The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the
Technical data section
^>page
343.
© CAUTION
Never run the tank completely dry. If there is
an irregular fuel supply, misfiring can occur.
Unburnt fuel can then enter the exhaust sys­

tem.
This can Lead to overheating and dam­
age to the catalytic converter.

Gear-change indicator
Applies to: vehicles with gear-change indicator

This
additional indicator function can help to
save
fuel.

To familiarise yourself with the gear-change
indi­

cator, drive in the normal way to start
with.
A
gear change will be recommended on the instru­
ment cluster display if the
gear
you are in is not
the most economical choice. If no gear change is
recommended, you are already in the most eco­
nomical gear.
