,&_ WARNING
- Always observe the warning in
¢ page 213, Engine compartment, be-
fore opening the hood and checking the
engine coolant level.
- Never open the engine hood if you see or
hear steam, or if you see engine coolant
dripping from the engine compartment.
You could burn yourself . Let the engine
cool off first so that you cannot hear or
see any steam or engine coolant .
(D Note
- Mounting additional lights or accessories
in front of the air inlets reduces the cool-
ing effect of the radiator . At high outside
temperatures or high engine load, the
engine could overheat.
- The front spoiler has been designed to
properly distribute the cooling air when
the vehicle is moving. If the spoiler is
damaged, this could reduce the cooling
effect and the engine could then over-
heat. Ask your authorized Audi dealer for
assistance.
Tachometer (engine rev counter)
The tachometer indicates the engine RPM
(revolutions 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 maximum
permissible engine RPM after the break-in pe-
riod . Before reaching this area, move these-
lector lever to position D/S or ease your foot
off t he accelerator pedal.
(D Note
The tachometer needle @ ¢ page 10,
fig. 3
should only briefly be in the red
zone: you could damage your engine! The
beginning of the red zone varies depend-
ing on the engine.
@) For the sake of the environment
Upshifting early saves fuel and reduces en-
gine noise.
