Note
- Mounting additional lights or accessories in
front of the air inlets reduces the cooling ef-
fect of the radiator. At h igh outside temper-
atu res or high engine load, the engine could
overheat.
- The front spoiler has been designed to prop-
erly distribute the cooling air when the vehi-
cle is moving. If the spoiler is damaged, this
could reduce the cooling effect and the en-
gine could then overheat. Ask your author-
ized Audi dealer for assistance.
Tachometer (engine rev counter)
The tachometer indicates the engine RPM (revo-
lutions per minutes).
If engine RPM drops below 1,500, you should
downshift to the next lower gear. The red area at
the end of the scale indicates max imum permis-
sible eng ine RPM after the break-in period. Be-
fore reaching this area, move the selector lever
to position D/5 or ease your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.

For the sake of the environment
