Note
Never drive with the tan k completely emp-
ty. An irregu la r fuel supp ly can cause the
eng ine to misfire. This leads to uncom-
busted fuel in the exhaust system. This
can cause overheating and damage to the
catalyt ic converter.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant temperature
gauge @
¢ page 10, fig . 3 only functions when the ig-
nition is switched on . To prevent engine dam -
age, observe the follow ing important points
concerning the temperature
ranges.
Cold range
If only the LEDs at t he bottom of the gauge
turn on, the engine has not reached operat ing
temperature
yet . Avoid high eng ine speed, full
throttle, and heavy eng ine load.
Normal range
The engine has reached its operating temper-
ature once the LEDs up to the center of the
gauge turn on under normal driving condi-
tions . The LEDs higher up may turn on when
the eng ine is under heavy load or the exter ior
temperature
is high . This is not a cause for
concern as long as the .
ind icator light in
the disp lay does not turn on .
Hot range
If the LEDs in the upper area of the display
and the .
indicator light in the instrument
cluster display turn on, the coolant tempera-
ture is too high ¢ page 20.
A
WARNING

¢ page 210 before opening the hood
a nd checking the engine coolant level.
- Never open the eng ine hood if you see or

Note
- Add itional headlights and other compo-
nents in front of the a ir intake reduces
affect of t he eff iciency of the coolant. At
hig h ou t side air temperat ures a nd wit h
heavy eng ine load, there is a ris k of the
eng ine overheating .
- The front spoiler ensures t he correct dis-
tribution of cooling air while driving . If
the spoi ler is damaged, the effect of the
coolant can be reduced and there is a risk
of the engine overheating. See your au-
thorized Audi dealer or qualified repair
facility .
