The instrument lighting is dimmed automatically as the daylight starts to fade. This function is intended to remind the driver to switch on the dipped-beam headlights in good time when light conditions become poor.Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge ⇒fig. 2 only works when the ignition is switched on. In order to avoid possible damage to the engine, please read the following notes for the different tempera-ture ranges.Engine coldIf the needle is still in the lower range of the dial, this indicates that the engine has not yet reached operating temperature. Avoid high engine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine loads.Normal temperatureIn normal operation the needle will settle somewhere in the centre of the dial once the engine has reached operating temperature. The needle may also go further up when the engine is working hard at high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern provided the warning symbol  in the display does not start flashing.A111A212A315A4SET 12A5201314A614A7A819A1document_0900452a8179700c.book Seite 11 Donnerstag, 22.

Instruments and warning/indicator lamps12Warning symbol in instrument cluster If the symbol  lights up in the display, this means that either the coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low ⇒page 32.If the needle is at the top end of the dial, this means the coolant temperature is too high. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and wait for it to cool down. If the warning lamp starts flashing again after just a short distance, contact a qualified workshop.WARNING•Before opening the bonnet and checking the coolant level, please observe the warning information on ⇒page 231, “Working on components in the engine compartment”.•Never open the bonnet if you can see or hear steam or coolant escaping from the engine compartment; there is a risk of being scalded. Wait until you can no longer see or hear escaping steam or coolant.Caution•Additional lights and other accessories in front of the air inlet reduce the cooling effect of the radiator. At high outside tempera-tures and high engine loads, there is a risk of the engine over-heating.•The front spoiler also ensures proper distribution 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. You should obtain professional assistance.Rev counterThe rev counter indicates the number of engine revolu-tions per minute.You should select a lower gear if the engine speed drops below 1500 rpm. The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the maximum engine speed which may be used briefly when the engine is warm and after it has been run in properly. However, it is advisable to change up a gear or move the selector lever to “D” (or lift your foot off the accelerator) before the needle reaches the red zone.CautionNever allow the rev counter needle ⇒page 11, fig. 2 to go into the red zone on the dial for more than a very brief period: there is a risk of damaging the engine. The start of the red zone on the dial is different for some engine versions.For the sake of the environmentChanging up a gear early will help you to save fuel and minimise engine noise. buttonThis button has a number of different functions.A2SETFig. 3 Instrument cluster: SET buttondocument_0900452a8179700c.book Seite 12 Donnerstag, 22.

Instruments and warning/indicator lamps16NoteIf the warning lamp lights up while the vehicle is moving, this indi-cates a fault in the engine management system. The engine should be serviced by a qualified workshop without delay.Applies to vehicles: with diesel engineGlow plug system The indicator lamp lights up to show that the glow plugs are preheating.Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic glow plug system.The indicator lamp  lights up while the glow plugs are preheating. If the engine fails to start immediately, the glow plugs have not finished preheating. In this case, keep the clutch pedal depressed (or keep your foot on the brake if your vehicle has an automatic gearbox) until the engine starts.Note•If the glow plug indicator lamp should start flashing while the vehicle is moving, this indicates a fault in the engine management system. The engine should be serviced without delay.•If the indicator lamp fails to light up when the ignition is switched on, this can mean that the glow plug system is defective. The engine should be serviced.Electronic stabilisation program (ESP) This warning lamp monitors the electronic stabilisation program.The warning lamp  has the following functions:•It flashes when the ESP or traction control system (ASR) inter-venes while the vehicle is in motion.•The warning lamp will light up continuously if the ESP or the traction control system (ASR) has been switched off using the ESP OFF button ⇒page 196.•It lights up when the ignition is switched on and should go out again after about 2 seconds. This signals that the lamp is working properly.•It will light up continuously if there is a malfunction in the ESP.•It will also come on if a fault should occur in the ABS because the ESP operates in conjunction with the ABS.If the battery has been disconnected, if the battery voltage is very low, or if the engine has been started from an outside power source, the ESP system will perform an initialisation of the various on-board sensors while you drive the first few metres. The warning lamp will light up during this period. It will go out when the initialisation has been completed.If the warning lamp lights up and stays on after the engine is started, this may mean that the control system has temporarily switched off the ESP. In this case the ESP can be reactivated by switching the ignition off and then on again. If the warning lamp goes out, this means the system is fully functional.For further information on the ESP ⇒page 196.Airbag system This warning lamp monitors the airbag and seat belt tensioner system.The warning lamp  should light up for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.If the warning lamp does not go out, or if it lights up, flashes or flickers when the vehicle is moving, this indicates a malfunction in the system. This is also the case if the warning lamp does not light up when the ignition is switched on.document_0900452a8179700c.book Seite 16 Donnerstag, 22. März 2007 10:19 10

Instruments and warning/indicator lamps 17Controls Safety Driving tips General maintenance Self-help Technical dataWARNINGIf a malfunction should occur, have the system checked immedi-ately by a qualified workshop. If this is neglected, there is a risk that the airbag system and/or belt tensioners may not be acti-vated in an accident.Turn signals  Depending on which turn signal is operated, either the left  or right  indicator lamp flashes. Both indicator lamps will flash when the hazard warning lights are switched on.If one turn signal should fail, the indicator lamp will start flashing twice as fast.This does not apply when towing a caravan or trailer. The indicator lamp will stop flashing if one of the turn signals on the vehicle or the caravan/trailer should fail. For further information on the turn signals ⇒page 59.Applies to vehicles: with towing bracketTrailer turn signals The indicator lamp flashes when the turn signals are operated while towing a caravan or trailer.The indicator lamp  flashes when the turn signals are operated, provided a caravan or trailer is correctly attached and connected to the vehicle.The indicator lamp will not flash if one of the turn signals on the trailer fails.Seat belt warning lamp The warning lamp acts as a reminder to fasten the seat belts.After switching on the ignition, the warning lamp  will remain lit until the driver and front passenger (if applicable) have fastened their seat belts. When the vehicle has gathered speed you will also hear a warning chime.For further information on the seat belts ⇒page 170.Emission control system If the warning lamp lights up continuously you should take your vehicle to a qualified workshop as soon as possible in order to have the fault rectified.If the warning lamp flashes drive on at reduced speed and seek professional help in order to avoid damage to the catalytic converter.For further information on the catalytic converter ⇒page 205.Main beam headlights The indicator lamp  lights up when the main beams are on or when the headlight flasher is operated.For further information on the main beam headlights ⇒page 59.Applies to vehicles: with cruise control systemCruise control The indicator lamp  in the instrument cluster lights up when the cruise control system is operating.document_0900452a8179700c.book Seite 17 Donnerstag, 22.

Instruments and warning/indicator lamps18Anti-lock brake system (ABS) The warning lamp monitors the ABS and the electronic differential lock (EDL).The warning lamp  lights up for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on and while the engine is being started. The lamp goes out again once the system has run through an automatic test sequence.There is a fault in the ABS if:•the warning lamp  does not light up when the ignition is switched on,•the warning lamp does not go out again after a few seconds,•the warning lamp lights up when the vehicle is moving.The vehicle can still be braked in the normal way (except that the ABS control function is out of action). Please take the vehicle to a qualified workshop as soon as possible. For further information on the ABS ⇒page 197.If a fault occurs in the ABS, the ESP warning lamp will also light up.Fault in the main brake systemIf the ABS warning lamp  lights up together with the brake warning lamp  ⇒page 31, this indicates a fault in the ABS func-tion, and possibly a malfunction in the main brake system as well ⇒.If there is a malfunction in the brake system the symbol  will light up in the instrument cluster. Please refer to ⇒page 31.Fault on the electronic differential lock (EDL)The EDL works in conjunction with the ABS. If a malfunction should occur in the EDL, this is indicated by the ABS warning lamp . Please take the vehicle to a qualified workshop as soon as possible. For further information on the EDL ⇒page 199.WARNING•Before opening the bonnet and checking the brake fluid level, observe the warning information on ⇒page 231, “Working on components in the engine compartment”.•If the brake warning lamp  should light up together with the ABS warning lamp , stop the vehicle immediately and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. If the fluid level has dropped below the "MIN" mark you must not drive on - otherwise there may be an increased accident risk. You should obtain professional assistance.•If the brake fluid level is OK, the fault in the brake system may have been caused by a failure of the ABS control function. As a result the rear wheels can lock relatively easily when braking. This could cause the tail of the vehicle to skid sideways. Drive carefully to the nearest qualified workshop and have the fault rectified.Applies to vehicles: with Audi hold assistAudi hold assist This warning lamp monitors the Audi hold assist function.Audi hold assist helps the driver to keep the vehicle stationary while the engine is running, for instance on steep gradients, at traffic lights or in stop-and-go traffic. When the Audi hold assist function is on, you don't have to keep your foot on the brake to prevent the vehicle from accidentally rolling away. Once it detects that the vehicle is stopped, Audi hold assist keeps the vehicle stationary. The green symbol  in the instrument cluster indicates that the func-tion is activated. You can now take your foot off the brake pedal.When the vehicle has been stationary for an extended period, Audi hold assist will automatically apply the parking brake. In this case, the green symbol  will change to red .document_0900452a8179700c.book Seite 18 Donnerstag, 22. März 2007 10:19 10
