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 instru-
ment cluster display turns on, the coolant tem-
perature is too high ðpage 244.

Note
– Auxiliary headlights and other accessories in
front of the air intake impair the cooling ef-
fect of the coolant. This increases the risk of
the engine overheating during high outside
temperatures and heavy engine 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 will increase. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa-
cility for assistance.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the addi-
tional displays that can be selected may vary.
