Driver informati on displ ay
Driver information display
Introduction
General notes
The driver information display inside the instrument
cluster provides you, the driver, with much useful infor­
mation.
Fig . 8 Inst rum ent
c lu ster : cente r dis pl ay
Informat ion from the driver information system is shown in the
display in the center of the instrument cluster.
When you turn on the ignition and while you are driving, some func ­
tions and vehicle components are scanned for their operating status. Malfunctions or required service procedures are signaled
audibly and shown by red and yellow lighted symbols and
reminders to the driver in the display.
The driver is also shown information about radio and CD operation and directions for the navigation system *. You can find additional
information on these subjects in the MMI manual.
The illustrations in the instrument panel display differ in some of
the vehicles.
The driver informat ion system prov ides the following functions: Sound sys

On-Board Diagnostics monitors the components of your emission
control system. Each monitored component in your engine system
has been assigned a code. In case of a malfunction, the component
will be identified and the fault stored as a code in the control
module memory.
The MIL light may also illuminate if there is a leak in the on -board
fuel vapor recovery system. If the light illuminates after a refueling,
stop the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler cap is properly closed
=> page 267.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stored data can only be
displayed using special diagnostic equipment (generic scan tool for
OBDl.
In order to connect the special diagnostic equipment, push the plug
into the Data Link Connector (DLC). The DLC is located to the right of
the hood release=>
page 22, fig. 17.
Your authorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop can interpret the
code and perform the necessary repair. •
Electronic speed limiter
Your vehicle may be factory equipped with tires that are rated for a
maximum speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). This is less than the
maximum speed of your vehicle. To reduce the risk of sudden tire
failure and loss of control if the vehicle is operated at excessive
speeds, your vehicle also has an electronic speed limiter. The elec­
tronic speed limiter prevents your vehicle from going faster than the
tire speed rating. For more information=>
page 299.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle road speed signals,
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIU will illuminate. If this
occurs, contact the nearest authorized Audi dealer for assistance.
Con tro ls and eq uip­
ment

& WARNING
Always observe the posted speed limits and adjust your speed to
suit prevailing road, traffic and weather conditions. Never drive
your vehicle faster than the maximum speed rating of the tires
installed. •

irechnical data

Driver information display
The following information is continuously evaluated by the trip
computer and can be disp layed sequentially in the instrument
cluster display:
Fuel range
The estimated cruising range in miles (km) appears in the display.
This tells you how far your vehicle will be able to trave l on the
current tank of fuel and with the same driving style. The display
changes in increments of 6 miles (10 km).
The cruising range is ca lculated based on the fuel consumption for
the last 18 miles (30 km). If you drive conservatively, the cruising
range will increase.
Average fuel mileage
The average fuel economy in MPG (1/100 km) since you last cleared
the memory appears in this display. You can use this display to
adjust your driving technique to achieve a desired mileage.
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneous fuel consumption in mi les per ga llon 0/100 km)
is shown in this display. You can use this display to adjust your
driving technique to achieve a desired mileage.
Fuel consumption is recalcu lated at intervals of 33 yards (30
meters). This display switches to gal lons/hour (liters/hour) when the
vehic le is not moving .
Average speed
The average speed in mph (km/h) since the last time the display was
reset appears in the display.
Elapsed time
The length of t ime that you have been driving since you last reset
the memory appears in this display.
Distance
The distance that has been covered since the last time the memory
was cleared appears in the display.
[ i ] Tips
• Fuel consumpt ions (average and current), range and speed are
displayed in metric units on Canadian models.
• All stored values will be lost if the vehicle battery is
disconnected. •
Memori es
The trip computer is equipped with two fully automatic
memories.
Fig . 20 Trip computer
display: memory level 1
You can switch between the trip computer 1 and 2 by pressing the
Reset button
@ ~ page 25, fig . 21.
You can tell which memory level is currently active by the number in
the display ~ fig. 20. The data from the single -trip memory
(memory leve l 1) is being displayed if a
1 appears in the display. If a
2 is shown, then the data from the total-trip memory is being
displayed (memory level 2l.
Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1 l
The single -trip memory stores the trip information from the time the
ignition is turned on until it is turned off. If the trip is continued
within 2 hours from the time the ignition was turned off, the new
da ta will be included in the calculation of the current trip informa -_.,,

tion. If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours the memory is
reset automatica lly.
Total-trip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-tr ip memory is not reset
automatically. This permits you to evaluate your driving data for the
entire period between manual resets. •
Operation
The trip computer is controlled by two switches on the
windshield wiper lever.
Fig. 21 Windshield
wiper lever: controls
for the trip computer
Push the function selector switch up or down@
~ fig. 21. This will cause the five distinct trip computer
functions to be displayed one after another.
The trip computer will not operate unless the ignition is on. When
you turn on the ignition, the function that was in use when you last
turned the ignition off will be displayed.
In addition to information on the trip computer (trip computer 1 or
2), the digital speedometer and information regarding the naviga­
tion system* can also be displayed. To switch the display between
the different information, tap the Reset button@ briefly.

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 wi ll 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 appea rs in the display. The symbol's
appearance might be different in some models.
The speed warning system has
t w o wa rning thr esholds that func ­
tion independent ly o f each other and that have somewha t di fferent
purposes:
S p eed war ning 1
You can use speed warning 1 to set the maximum speed while you
are driving. This setting will remain in effect un til you turn off the
ignition, assuming that you have not changed or res et the setting.
The speed warning symbol
8 (USA mode ls)/ 8 (Canada models) in
the warning 1 disp lay appears when you exceed the maximum
speed. It goes out when the speed falls be low the stored maximum
speed . T
he speed warning symbol wi ll 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 26 .
S peed w arning 2
Storing warning 2 is recommended if you always want to be
reminded of a certain speed, for example when you are traveling in
a country that has a general maximum speed limit, or if you do not
want to exceed a specified speed for winter tires.
T he speed warning 2 symbol,
8 , (USA models)/ 0 (Canada models)
appears in the display when you exceed the stored speed limit .
Un like warning 1, it wi ll not go out until the vehic le speed drops
b el ow the stored speed limi t.

::;> page 27.
[ i ] Tips
Even though your vehicle is equipped with a speed warning system,
you shou ld still watch the speedometer to make sure you are not
driving faster than the speed l im it . •
