Tips
The instrument illumination for the needles
and dia ls turns on when the ignition is turned
on and the lights are turned off. The illumination for the gauges reduces automat ically and
eventually turns off as brightness outside increases . This function reminds the drive r to
turn the low beams on at the approp riate
time.
Coolant temperature indicator
The coolan t temperature indicato r @ r=:>page 8,
fig. 3 only operates when the ignit ion is switched
on. To prevent engine damage, please observe
the following notes about the temperature ranges.
Normal range
The engine has reached operating temperature
when the needle moves into the center of the
gauge under norma l driving condit ions. The needle may move farther to the right on the gauge
with heavier engine load at hig h outside temper atu res . If the needle is far over on the right side
of the gauge and the . indicator light tur ns on
in the instrument cluster, then the coolant temperatu re is t oo high r=;,page 12.

from that can cause engine misfires . Uncombusted fuel will then enter the exhaust system. This can cause overheat ing and damage
to the catalytic converter.
Odometer
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).
You should shift to the next lowest gear when
the engine speed is below 1,SOO 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 warmed up to operating temperat ure.
Before reaching the red zone, you shou ld shift into the next higher gear, choose the Dor S selector lever position, or remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
CDNote
The needle in the tachometer @ Q page 8,
fig. 3 may only be in the red area of the gauge
for a short time or there is a risk of engine
damage.
For the sake of the environment
Upshifting ea rly helps you to save fuel and reduces operating noise.
Fuel level
The fuel level indicator only operates when the
ignition is switched on.

You can lock and unlock the vehicle centrally . You
have the following options:
Remote control key <=>
page 24,
Sensors in the door handles" <=>
page 24,
Inner central locking switch <=>
page 25, or
Lockcylinder on the driver's door <=>
page 26.
Turn signals
The turn signals flash twice when you unlock the
vehicle and flash once when you lock the vehicle.
If they do not flash, then the ignition may still be
switched on, or one of the doors or the luggage
compa rt ment lid may be open, for example.
Automatic locking (Auto Lock)
The Auto Lockfunction locks all doors and the
luggage compartment lid once the speed has exceeded approx imately 9 mph (15 km/h).
The vehicle will unlock again if the ignition key* is
removed, the opening function from the central
locking switch is activated, or one of the door
handles is operated .
In the event of a crash with airbag deployment,
the doors will also automatically unlock to allow
access to the vehicle.
Selective door unlocking
The doors and luggage compartment lid will lock
when they close. You can set in the Infotainment
system if only the driver's door or the entire vehicle should unlock when unlocking<=>
page 26,
Setting the central locking system .
Unintentionally locking yourself out
Only lock your vehicle when all of the doors and
the luggage compartment lid are closed and the
remote control key is not in the vehicle. This
helps to prevent you from locking yourself out
accidentally .
The following conditions prevent you from locking your remote control key in the vehicle:
22
- If the driver's door is open, the vehicle cannot
be locked by pressing the !'.IIbutton on the remote contro l key or by touching the locking
sensor* on a door .
- If the most recently used convenience key* is in
the luggage compartment, the luggage compartment lid automatically unlocks again after
closing it <=>
page 2 7. The emergency flashers
blink four t imes.
- If the convenience key*that was last used is detected inside the vehicle, then the vehicle will
not be able to lock from the outside .
WARNING
- Always take the key with you when leaving
your vehicle, even if for a shor t period of
time. This applies part icularly when children
remain in the vehicle. Otherwise, children
could start the engine or operate electrical
equipment (such as power windows), which
increases the risk of an accident.
- No one, especially children, should stay in
the vehicle when it is locked from the outside, because the windows can no longer be
opened from the inside <=>
page 2 7. Locked
doors make it more difficult for emergency
workers to get into the vehicle, which puts
lives at risk.
WARNING
Appl ies t o: vehicles with igni tio n lock
Do not remove the key from the ignition lock
until the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
Otherwise, the steering lock could engage
suddenly and increase the risk of an accident.

- The permissib le roof load fo r your vehicle is
165 lb (7 5 kg). The roof load is the total of the
weight of the roof rack, the attachments and
the cargo you are carrying. However, you must
also note the permitted load of the carrier system being used . For the permitted axle load
and the permitted total vehicle weight, see
¢ page 209 .
WARNING
- Follow the installation instructions provided
with the roof rack system. If you do not secure the roof rack system and objects on the
roof correctly, they could come loose from
the vehicle and cause an accident .
- The risk of an accident increases when using
a roof rack system, because it changes the
driving characteristics by shift ing the center
of gravity and/or the increasing the surface
area exposed to wind. Adapt your driving
and speed to the current conditions.
Q;) Note
- If you use other roof luggage rack systems
or do not install the racks as intended, any
damage to the veh icle is not covered by the
warranty . Carefully follow the assembly and
insta llation instruct ions included with the
roof rack car rier system.
- Make sure that the luggage compartment
lid and the panorama glass roof* do not
come into contact with objects on the roof
when they are open.
For the sake of the environment
Your vehicle will requ ire more fuel due to the
increased wind resistance. So remove the roof
rac k after using it.

control
system
Description
Depending on the vehicle equipment, different
systems could be installed:
- manual climate control system or
- automatic climate control system"
The climate control system circu lates, warms or
cools, and removes humidity from the air in the
vehicle interior. It is the most effective when the
windows and panorama glass roof" are closed. If
there is a build-up of heat inside the vehicle, ventilation can help to speed up the cooling process .
Pollutant f ilt er
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
Key recognition *
The automatic climate cont rol system* settings
are stored and assigned to the remote control
key that is in use.
WARNING
Poor visibility can lead to accidents.
- For safer driving, keep all windows free of
ice, snow and fog .
- Become familiar with the correct use and
function of the climate control system as
quickly as poss ible, espec ially with the defrosting and defogging functions.
- When the temperature is below freezing,
only use the windshield washer system after
the windsh ield has been warmed by the climate control system. The washer fluid could
a nd c o ld
freeze on the windshield and impair visibility.
Note
- If you suspect that the climate contro l sys tem is damaged, switch the system off to
prevent further damage and have it checked
by an authorized Aud i dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
- Repairs to the Audi climate control system
require special technical knowledge and
special tools. See an authorized Audi dea ler
or authorized Audi Service Facility.
@) For the sake of the environment
- To save fuel, turn off the climate control
system cooling mode by pressing the A/C
button. This will also reduce emissions . The
climate control system is off when the LED
in the button turns off.
- In vehicles with the efficiency program*,
you can find other consumptio n information
and more economy tips ¢ page 20.

Tips
- To prevent interference with the heat ing
and cooling output and to prevent the windows from fogging over, the air intake in
fro nt of the windshie ld must be free of ice ,
snow or leaves.
- Condensation from the cooling system* can
dr ip and fo rm a pudd le of water under the
vehicle. This is norma l and does not mean
there is a leak .
- The energy management system may temporarily switch off certain functions, such as
the seat heating* or rear window defogger .
These systems are avai lable aga in as soon
as the energy supply has been restored.
