Warning light in the instrument cluster
display
If the . warning light in the instrument clus-
ter disp lay flashes, this can mean one of two
things: either the coolant
temperature is too
high, or the coolant
level is too low
¢ page 30 .
If the needle is well in the upper area of the
gauge, the coolant temperature is too high.
Stop the vehicle, switch the engine off, and
allow it to cool.
If the warning light comes on
again after driving a short distance, contact
an author ized Audi dealer or other qualif ied
workshop.
_& WARNING
- Always observe the warning in
¢ page 226, 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 .
CD Note
- Mounting additional lights or accessories
in front of the a ir inlets reduces the cool-
ing effect of the rad iator. At high outside
temperatures or high engine load, the
engine could overheat.
- The front spo iler has been designed to
properly distribute the cooling air when
the veh icle is moving. If the spoiler is
damaged, this could reduce the cooling
effect and the engine could then over-
heat. Ask you r aut hor ized Audi dealer for
assistance.

(revolutions per minutes).
If engine RPM d rops be low 1,50 0, you should

riod. Before reaching this area , move these-
lector lever to position "D (Drive)" or ease
your foot
off the acce lerator pedal.

ing on the engine.
@) For the sake of the environment
Upshifting early saves fuel and reduces en-
gine noise .
