1 - coolant temperature
The pointer works when the ignition is on. However, after switching on, some time must elapse before the pointer is set to the position corresponding to the actual temperature.
Cold engine temperature range
While the arrow is on the left side of the scale, avoid high engine speeds and engine loads!
Working temperature range
During normal driving, the temperature gauge needle should fluctuate within the middle part of the scale.
With a significant engine load and high outside temperature, the arrow may move further to the right on the scale. This should not be a cause for alarm as long as the cooling system warning light is not flashing.
Signal lamp
If the coolant temperature/level warning light flashes while driving, it indicates a low coolant level or overheating. Stop, turn off the engine and determine the cause of the problem.
2 - tachometer
The red sector of the scale corresponds to the range of maximum revolutions allowed for a short time for a run-in and warm engine. It is recommended, however, that at the latest when the arrow reaches this sector of the scale, shift to a higher gear or slow down the gas. During the break-in period, high-speed modes should be avoided.
3 - outdoor air temperature
The pointer works when the ignition is on.
When switching the display of vehicles with automatic air conditioning to Fahrenheit (°F) the outdoor temperature gauge automatically changes the display accordingly.
At temperatures between +5°C and 0°C, a snowflake symbol appears on the display to the right of the main readings.
At temperatures from 0°C to -5°C, a snowflake appears to the left of the main display.
The appearance of the snowflake symbol warns the driver to take extra care due to the danger of ice.
When the vehicle is stationary or driving at very low speed, the temperature indication may be slightly higher than the actual temperature due to the heat generated by the engine.
4 - speedometer
The division of the speedometer scale into sectors is determined by the type of engine. Therefore, there may be discrepancies with the illustration. The speedometer is equipped with a digital total and one-time mileage counter, as well as a service interval indicator.
Odometers
The upper counter registers the total, and the lower one registers a single mileage. The accuracy of counting a single run of the lower counter is 100 m.
The trip meter is reset to zero by pressing the reset button located next to the speedometer for at least 2 seconds.
Service Interval Index
After the ignition is switched on, the indication of the next maintenance flashes in place of the one-time mileage counter for several seconds. When the next service interval is due, the display flashes for approx. 60 seconds even after the engine has been started. Optionally, without waiting for the full expiration time of the indication, by pressing the reset button (next to the speedometer) you can switch to the trip odometer.
The indication of the next maintenance appears in advance - 1000 km or 10 days in advance. The following indication may appear:
OEL – maintenance – oil change
ln 1 – inspection service
ln 2 – additional maintenance
After the service has been carried out, the display is returned to its original position at the Audi factory.
Fault indication
If there is a malfunction in the instrument cluster, the indication appears at the place of the readings of the trip meter "dEF". Have the fault repaired by Audi immediately.
5 - button for resetting the one-time mileage counter
The trip meter is reset to zero by pressing the reset button located next to the speedometer for at least 2 seconds.
6 - fuel gauge in the tank
After switching on the ignition and after refueling, 2 minutes must elapse before the pointer is set to the position corresponding to the actual remaining fuel.
The fuel tank capacity of front-wheel drive vehicles is approximately 80 liters, and that of all-wheel drive vehicles is approximately 75 liters. These are approximate values. The actual filling quantity may differ slightly from these values.
If the arrow has reached the reserve field, this means that about 12 liters are left in stock.
The petrol pump symbol in the instrument cluster also comes on as a reminder that refueling is required. Never burn fuel to a dry tank.
8 - pointer clock
The time is set with the instrument illumination brightness control button. Each time the button is pulled and turned once, the hand jumps by one minute. If you hold the button in an extended position by turning it, the arrows will start slowly at first, and then faster and faster to run through the scale.
9 - engine oil temperature
Until the oil has warmed up, you should not try to realize the full power of the engine. If, as an exception, the arrow of the device enters the high temperature range, it is necessary to reduce the engine speed. The needle should then return to its normal operating range. If the needle stays in the high temperature range, stop, stop the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is correct and the oil pressure warning light does not flash after starting the engine, you can drive to the nearest Audi dealership without high engine speeds.
10 - voltmeter
The voltmeter shows the voltage of the electrical on-board network. Normal value: 12-14 volts. If the voltage drops below 12 volts with the engine running, check the power supply (battery and generator) at Audi. During engine start, the voltage may drop below 8 volts.
11 - instrument lighting
When the lighting is on, the brightness of the instrument illumination can be adjusted by turning the button.
