Note
- Mounting additional lights or accessories in
front of the air inlets reduces the cooling ef-
fect of the radiator. At high outside temper-
atures or high engine load, the engine could
overheat .
- The front spoiler has been designed to prop-
erly distribute the cooling air when the veh i-
cle is moving . If the spoiler is damaged, this
could red uce the cooling effect and the en-
gine could then overheat. Ask your author-
ized Audi dealer for assistance.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in rev-
olutions per minute (RPM).
You should shift to the next lowest gear when
the speed is below 1500 RPM. The beginning of
the red zone in the tachometer indicates the
maximum permissib le engine speed for all gea rs
once the engine has been broke n in. Before
reaching the red zone, you should shift into the
next higher gear, choose the Dor 5 selector lever
position , or remove your foot from the accelera-
tor pedal.

damage. The beginning of the red range in
the gauge depends on the engine operating
tern perature.

Never drive until the tank is comp letely emp-

from that can cause the engine to misfire. Un-
combusted fuel w ill then enter the exhaust

age to the catalytic converter .
