Coolant temperature display
This applies to: vehicles with coolant temperature display The coolant temperature display (D ¢ page 14 only functions when the ignition is switched 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 temperature yet. Avoid high engine speeds, full acceleration, and heavy engine loads.
Normal range
The engine has reached its operating temperature once the LEDs up to the center of the gauge turn on. If the indicator light in the instru ment cluster display turns on, the coolant temperature is too high ¢ page 321.
Note
- Auxiliary headlights and other accessories in front of the air intake impair the cooling effect 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 overheating will increase. See an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility for assistance.
Tachometer
The tachometer@¢ page 14 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 and when it is warm. Before reaching this zone, you should shift into the next highest gear, select the “D/S” selector lever position, or remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
Engine speed limitation
This applies to: vehicles with engine speed limitation If the (li indicator light turns on, the engine will be automatically limited to the RPM displayed in the instrument cluster. This will protect the engine 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 pedal once. If the engine speed limitation was activated by an engine control malfunction, the B indicator light also turns on. Make sure the engine speed ► does not go above the speed displayed, for example when downshifting. Drive to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility immediately to have the malfunction corrected.
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 begins varies depending on the engine.
Odometer
The trip odometer and odometer are displayed in the status line® c> page 14. 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
- To reset the trip odometer to zero, press the reset button.
Tips
Distances are displayed in mi (miles) or km (kilometers).
Outside temperature display
The outside temperature is displayed in the status line® c> page 14. 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. At temperatures below 41 °F (+S °C), a snowflake symbol appears in front of the temperature displayl.
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 (+S 0() and that ice can increase the risk of accidents.
