Coolant temperature indicator
The coolant temperature display c;, page 8,
fig. 3 CDonly functions when the ignition is
sw itched on. To pr event engine damage, please
observe the following notes about the tempera-
ture ranges.
Cold range
If on ly the LEDs 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 its operating tempera-
ture once the LEDs up to the center of the gauge
turn on. If the . indicator light in the Infotain-
ment system display turns on, the coolant tem-
perature is too high c::;,page 12.

(I;} Note
- Auxiliary head lights and other accessories in
front of the cooling-air intake impa ir the
cooling effect of the coolant. This increases
the risk of the engine overheating during
high outside temperatures and heavy en -
gine load.
- The front spoiler also helps to distribute
cooling air correctly while driving. If the
spoiler is damaged, the cooling effect will
be impaired and the risk of the engine over-
heating w ill increase. See an authorized
Audi dealer or author ized Audi Service Fa-
cility for assistance .
