WARNING continued
§
Carefully and slowly turn cap one
turn to allow excess pressure to
escape before completely removing
cap.
§
To help avoid being burned, do
not spill antifreeze or coolant on the
exhaust system or hot engine parts.
Under some conditions, the ethylene
glycol in engine coolant is
combustible.
If a visual check shows that coolant level
and V-belt are normal, but the warning
light continues to flash, contact your
nearest dealer to have the cause located
and corrected.
For more details see 'Cooling system" on
page 113.
If the coolant gauge needle nears the
upper end of the scale and the engine
appears to be overheating, turn off the air
conditioner.
– Engine oil pressure
If this light comes on, it indicates that the
engine oil pressure is too low.
Pull off the road and stop the engine
immediately, let it cool down and
check the engine oil level and add oil,
if necessary.
If engine oil level is normal, but the
light comes on again, do not continue
to operate the vehicle. This could
damage the engine.
Turn the engine off and contact the
nearest Audi dealer for assistance.
The oil pressure warning light is not
an indicator for low engine oil level.
To check the oil level, always use
dipstick (see page 105).
Engine oil pressure and oil
temperature gauge see page 46.
Make it a habit to have the engine oil
level checked with every fuel filling.

front and rear brake pads checked and
replaced as necessary.
