Speedometer
The counter of total and daily run with the reset button of indications.
The last digit of the daily run counter after the decimal point corresponds to 100 meters.
Resetting the daily mileage counter is carried out by the reset button in the figure indicated by an arrow).
Tachometer
The red sector of the tachometer scale warns that the engine is running at the maximum permissible crankshaft speed. As soon as the arrow enters this sector, it is necessary to reset the gas or switch to the next gear.
Timely gear shifting saves fuel, reduces noise.
It is recommended to switch to a lower gear at the maximum drop in engine power, when it no longer pulls in a higher gear.
1 - Instrument lighting
When the lighting is on, the intensity of the illumination of the instruments and the center console is controlled by the button. Indicated by an arrow.
2 - Mechanical watch (diesel engine vehicles)
Adjustable by pressing a button under the clock. Indicated by arrow. By briefly pressing the button, the clock hand moves by one minute. When pressed longer, the hour hand slows down and the minute hand moves faster.
Digital Watch
The electronic clock is located at the bottom of the tachometer scale. Time correction is carried out by turning the knob to the right or left. The regulator is indicated by an arrow.
Turn to the left to set hours, turn to the right to set minutes. For accelerated adjustment, the regulator is kept in the extreme left or right positions, respectively.
The time on the electronic watch can be set to the nearest second. For this:
- turn the knob to the right and set the appropriate time one minute later,
- wait for the exact time and turn the dial briefly to the right again at the moment when the second hand of the fine watch completes a full revolution of the minute or when the exact time signal sounds on the radio.
Fuel gauge
The pointer only works when the ignition is on. The arrow is not set to the working position immediately, after a short period of time. The fuel tank holds approximately 68 liters of fuel, while the Audi Quattro model has about 70 liters.
When the arrow enters the sector "R" (fuel reserve) - up to 7 liters of fuel remain in the tank.
Cooling temperature gauge liquids
It also works when the ignition is on. The pointer arrow does not take up its working position immediately, but after a while.
The left sector of the scale - low temperature
If the arrow is in the left sector of the scale - avoid high speeds, do not overload the engine.
The central part of the scale - the temperature is normal
The working position of the arrow in normal vehicle operation. At high engine loads, the arrow may move to the right sector. Nothing to worry about, it's normal. Ignore until the coolant temperature warning light flashes.
When the load on the engine is reduced, the needle will return to the central sector again.
Automonitoring warning symbol
If the display shows "Auto-Check-System" the coolant temperature symbol is displayed, this means one of two things:
- liquid temperature is too high,
- fluid level is critically low. Stop the machine slowly, turn off the engine, investigate the cause of the problem.
Note: Additional headlights installed in front of the air intakes have a negative effect on the operation of the cooling system. At high air temperatures and heavy loads on the engine, there is a risk of overheating. In such a situation, in order to reduce the additional load on the engine, an automatic device turns off the air conditioner. When the temperature of the coolant drops to the required rate, it will work again.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter monitors the voltage in the onboard power supply. The normal level is 12-15 V.
If, with the consumers of electricity turned on, the arrow deviates into the red sector (below 11 V) - this indicates insufficient voltage in the network. The charge level of the battery should be checked. When starting the engine, such a deviation is allowed.
Engine oil pressure gauge
The device controls the oil pressure in the engine. If, while driving, the oil pressure drops sharply to 1.8 bar, the indicator lamp with the symbol will light up on the display and a warning sound will sound (buzzer). In this case, stop the car and turn off the engine.
Check the oil level, top up if necessary. If the oil pressure in the engine is critically low, do not resume driving.
Engine oil temperature gauge
While the oil is cold - do not load the engine at full power. If, in rare cases, the pointer arrow moves to the upper right sector of the scale - turn off the gas, reduce the speed, the arrow should return to its normal position.
If it continues to remain in the danger sector, immediately stop the car and turn off the engine, check the oil level. If it is normal, the oil pressure warning lamp will go out immediately after starting the engine, in which case you can continue driving at low speeds to the nearest service station.
