fig. 3 (!) only functions when the i gnition is
switched
on. To prevent engine damage, pl ease
observe the following notes about the tempera-
ture ranges.
Cold range
If only the LE Ds in the left area of the gauge turn
on, the engine has not reached operating tem-
perature yet. Avoid high engine speeds, full ac-
celerating and heavy engine loads .
Normal range
The engine has reached i ts operating tempera-
ture once the L EDs up to the center of the gauge
turn on under norma l driving conditions. The
LEDs farther to the right may turn on if the en-
gine is under heavy load or the outside tempera-
ture is high. Th is is no cause for concern as long
8
as the . indicator light in the Infotainment di s-
play does not turn on. If the red L ED in the rig ht
si de of t he display and the . indicator light in
the di sp lay turn on, the coolant temperature is
too high ~ page 12 .
CD Note
- Aux iliary headlights and ot h er acc essories in
front of the cooling-air intake i mpa ir t he
cooling
effect of the coolant . This increases
the risk of the engine overheating dur ing
high
outs i de temperatures and heavy en-
gine load.
- T
he fr ont spoiler also h elps to distribute
cooling air correctlywhile driving. If the
spoiler is damaged, the cooling effect will
be impaired and the risk of the eng ine over-
heating will increase. See an authorized
Audi dealer or author ized Audi Se rvice Fa-
cility
for assis tance.
Fuel level
The indi cator @ only func tions when t he ignition
is swi
tched on. If the fuel l evel drops below 1.9
gal (7 L), the l eft LED wi ll light up red and the ~ .,.

indicator light will turn on ¢page 16 . The bot -
tom LED blinks red when the fue l level is very
low.

On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 4 Location of Data Link Connector (D L C)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the components
of your emission control system. Each monitored
component in your engine system has been as-
signed a code . In case of a malfunction, the com-
18
ponent will be identified and the fault stored as a
code in the contro l module memory.
The MIL light may also illumin ate if there is a
l
eak in the on-boa rd fuel vapor recovery system.
If the light illuminates after a refuelling, stop
the vehicle and make sure the fue l filler cap is
properly closed c:> page 233 .
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stor-
ed data can only be displayed using special di ag-
nostic equipment (generic scan tool for OBD).
In order to connect the special diagnostic equip-
ment, push the plug into the Data Link Connector
(DLC). Th e DLC is located to the right of the hood
release c:> fig. 4.
Your authorized Audi dealer or a qua li fied service
station can i nterpret the code and perform the
necessary repair.
11. WARNING
Do not use the diagnostic connector for per-
sonal use. Incorrect usage can cause malfunc-
tions, which can increase the risk of a colli-
sion!
