Instrument cluster, On Board
Diagnostic (OBD) (through
M.Y. 1999)
General information
Instrument cluster technology
The Audi A4 instrument cluster is available in two
versions; the low-line version with "mini-check"
system and the high-line version with an LCD
multi-function display.
The mini-check system monitors the brake
system, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT), fuel
level and engine oil pressure.
The multi-function display contains the following
functions:
Auto check system with radio station and
telephone displays
Ambient outside temperature display
On-board computer display
Transmission Range (TR) selector lever display
for automatic transmission

The display will always show the actual values
from the sensors. Since the instrument panel
displays filters the values, they may differ from
the actual values.

Channel 5 Adaptation 1
- 1 3-
Indicated on display
The display shows the number of kilometers remaining until the next oil
change service is due (the "1" indicates 1000 km remaining).
Notes:
Values can only be entered in increments of 1000 km. Therefore, the
distance indicated is in units of 1000. In countries where speedometers are calibrated in miles, adjustments
must still be made in kilometers. Therefore convert miles to kilometers
(miles x 1.609 = kilometers) to get the required adaptation value. If the instrument cluster must be replaced, observe notes Page 01

.
When using the scan tool keypad, only the direct input method can be
used. If an incorrect value is input, the "adaptation" function 10 will be
cancelled and must be initiated again.

Press button.
