car menu. Select
I CAR]> Service interval display .
Resetting the service interval display
Your authorized Audi dealer will reset the corresponding service
schedule after performing the appropriate service on your vehicle.
You also have the possibility to reset the oil change schedule after
having performed an oil change according to Audi specifications .
Select
I CAR]> Service interval display > Reset oil change interval.
0 Note
If you disconnect the battery termina ls, no calculat ions can be made
for the serv ice interval display dur ing this time and no service
reminder will appear. Remember that observing the proper service
intervals is vitally important to extending the life of your veh icle,
particularly the engine, and maintaining its value . Even if the mileage
dr iven is low, the maximum period of one year from one service to the
next must not be exceeded.
[ i J Tips
• Do not reset the display between oil changes, otherwise the
display will be incorrect.
• The information in the Service Reminder remains stored even
when the vehicle battery is disconnected .•

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunct ion Indicator Lamp (MIL) in the instrument cluster
=>
page 12, fig. 7 is part of the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system.
Th e warning/indicator light illuminates when the ignition is switched
on and goes out after the engine starts and the idle has stabilized.
This indicates that the MIL is working properly.
If the light does not go out after the engine is started, or illuminates
whi le you are driving, a malfunction may exist in the engine system.
If the light illuminates, the catalytic converter could be damaged.
Continue driving
with reduced power (avoiding sustained high
speeds and/or rapid accelerat ions) and have the condition corrected.
Contact your authorized Aud i dealer .
If the light illuminates, the electronic speed limiter may also be
malfunction ing. For more information=>

An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also cause the MIL light to
illuminate

Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep your driving
speed below a set speed limit.
The speed warning system warns if the driver exceeds a previously
stored maximum speed. A warning tone will sound as soon as the
vehicle speed exceeds the set speed by about 3 mph (3 km/h) . At the
same time, a warning symbol appears in the display. The symbol 's
appearance might be different in some models .
The speed warning system has
two warning thresholds that function
independently of each other and that have somewhat different
purposes:
Speed warning 1
You can use speed warning 1 to set the maximum speed while you are
driving. This setting w ill remain in effect until you turn off the igni­
tion, assuming that you have not changed or reset the setting .
The speed warning symbo l
0 (USA models)/0 (Canada mode ls) in
the warning 1 display appears when you exceed the maximum speed .
It goes out when the speed falls be low the stored maximum speed.
The speed warning symbol will also go out if the speed
exceeds the
stored maximum speed by more than about 25 mph
(40 km/h) for at
least
10 seconds. The stored maximum speed is deleted.
Setting speed warning 1
=> page 25.
Speed warning 2
Storing warning 2 is recommended if you always want to be reminded
of a certain speed, for example when you are travel ing in a country
that has a general maximum speed limit, or if you do not want to
exceed a specified speed for winter tires.
The speed warning 2 symbol,
8, (USA models)/ 8, (Canada models)
appears in the display when you exceed the stored speed limit. Unlike

warning 1, it will not go out until the vehicle speed drops below the
stored speed limit.

(I) Tips
Even though your veh icle is equipped with a speed warn ing system,
you should still watch the speedometer to make sure you are not
dr iv ing faster than the speed limit.•

Warning threshold 1 is set by the [SET] button.

In recirculation mode, air is drawn from the vehicle interior, filtered
and recirculated . We recommend selecting recirculation mode under
th e following conditions:
When driving through a tunnel or in a traffic jam so that exhaust
fumes and odors cannot enter the vehicle interior.
& WARNING
You should not use the recirculation mode for an extended period
since no fresh air is drawn in. With the air-conditioning switched
off, the windows can fog up, which increases the risk of an
accident! •

& WARNING
Be careful when using the kick-down feature on slippery roads.
Rapid acceleration may cause the vehicle to skid.•
Appli es to vehi cles: wit h mul tit ro nic ® Con tin uousl y Va riable Tra ns mi ssion (CVT )
Dynamic shift program {DSP)
The multitronic ® transmission is electronically
controlled.
The transmission selects the appropriate gear ratio (upshifts and
downshifts) automatically based on preset driving programs.
The transmission will select one of the
economy programs when you
drive at a steady speed or a gradually changing speeds without heavy
acceleration . This gives best fuel efficiency, with early upshifting and
delayed downshifting .
The transmission will automatically select the
sporty shift programs
when you drive at higher speeds, or with heavy acceleration and
frequently changing speeds . Upshifts are delayed to make full use of
engine power . Downshifting takes place at higher engine speeds than
in the economy programs.
The selection of the most suitable shift program is a continuous,
automat ic p rocess . The driver can also make the transmission switch
to a sporty program by
quickly pressing down the gas pedal.
This causes the transmission to shift down into a lower gear ratio and
makes quick acceleration possible (to pass another vehicle) You do
not need to press the gas pedal into the kickdown range . After the
transmission has upshifted, the original program is selected
according to your driving style.
An additional shift program allows the automatic transmission to
select the proper gear for uphill and downhill gradients.
This prevents the transmission from shifting up and down unneces­ sarily on hills. The transmission will shift down to a lower gear ratio
Con tro ls a nd e quip ­

when the driver presses the brake pedal on a downhill gradient . This
makes use of the braking effect of the engine without the need to
shift down manually.
If you are driving in h ills and mountains, the transmission will contin­
uously adjust the gear ratio to the road grade. If you press the brake
pedal when driving downhill, the transmission will downshift auto­
matically. This increases the braking effect of the engine.
If the cruise control is on when you are traveling downhill, the trans­
mission will automatically select a lower gear ratio in order to main ­
tain the set vehicle speed. This will cause the engine speed to
increase. •

Using the manual shift program (tiptronic ®) you can
