When the ignition is on, the arrows on the dashboard are illuminated.
When the light is on, the scales are additionally illuminated.
Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauge only works when the ignition is on. To avoid damage to the engine, observe the following temperature guidelines.
Cold engine temperature range
If the arrow is still on the left side of the scale, this means that the engine has not yet reached operating temperature. Avoid high revs «full throttle» and significant engine load.
Working temperature
The engine has reached operating temperature if, during normal driving, the temperature gauge pointer is within the middle part of the scale. With a significant engine load and high outside temperature, the arrow may move further to the right on the scale. This should not be a cause for alarm until the
![](https://www.audimanual.ru/img/a4/0540.jpg)
The flashing of the signal symbol on the display indicates a drop in the coolant level or its overheating, see Driver information system (FIS).
Warning: Auxiliary headlights and other add-on components that obstruct the supply of cooling air impair the cooling effect of the coolant. If the outside temperature is high and the engine is heavily loaded, there is a danger of the engine overheating!
One of the tasks of the front spoiler while driving is to properly distribute the cooling air. If the spoiler is damaged, the cooling effect is impaired and there is a risk of engine overheating! Get qualified help.
Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed.
At a speed of less than 1500 rpm, you should switch to the next lower gear. The beginning of the red sector of the scale corresponds for all gears to the range of maximum revolutions that are allowed for a short time for a run-in and warm engine. It is necessary to switch to a higher gear, set the selector lever to the position «D» or slow down the gas until the arrow reaches this sector of the scale.
Warning: Only briefly move the tachometer needle to the red sector of the scale - there is a risk of engine damage! The beginning of the red scale depends on the engine variant.
Warning: Early upshifting will help you save fuel and reduce operating noise!
Digital clock with date display
![](https://www.audimanual.ru/img/a4/0541.jpg)

Electronic anti-skid system (ESP)
The control lamp monitors the function of the electronic anti-skid system.
Pilot lamp functions:
- The lamp flashes while driving when the ESP device is operating.
- The lamp comes on to check the function when the ignition is switched on and should go out after about 2 seconds.
- The lamp is on when the ESP is malfunctioning.
- The lamp is on after disconnecting and then reconnecting the battery.
- The lamp is on when the ESP device is off.
- The lamp is also on when the ESP fails, since the ESP device works together with the ABS.
If the warning light comes on immediately after starting the engine, a system-controlled ESP shutdown may occur. In this case, you can turn on the ESP by turning the ignition off and then on. The lamp goes out and the device is completely ready for operation.
If the battery is disconnected and then reconnected, the control lamp lights up after the ignition is switched on. For the lamp to go out, a short movement in a straight line is enough.
For more information on ESP, see Features of operation and auxiliary systems.
Cars with a gasoline engine
EPC engine power control
The control lamp monitors the engine management system.
EPC warning lamp (Electronic Power Control) lights up for a few seconds when the ignition is turned on, to demonstrate its performance.
Warning: If the warning lamp comes on while driving, it indicates a malfunction in the engine management system. Carry out the required engine checks without delay.
Diesel vehicles
Preheat system
The ignition of the control lamp indicates the preheating of the engine. Start the engine as soon as the lamp goes out, see Features of operation and auxiliary systems. When starting a warm engine, as well as when the outside temperature is above +8°C, the control lamp lights up for about 1 second.
Warning: Illumination of the preheating system warning lamp while driving indicates a malfunction in the engine management system. The engine needs an immediate check.
The reason that the control lamp does not light up at all when the ignition is turned on may be a malfunction in the preheating system. The engine needs to be checked.
