suit prevailing road, traffic and weather conditions. Never drive
your vehicle faster than the maximum speed rating of the tires
installed. •
Trip computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on current and
average fuel mileage, average speed, fuel range and
driving time.
Fig . 11 Trip computer
1
You can switch between the trip computer 1 and 2 by pressing the
I Reset I button @=> page 23, fig. 12.
You can tell which memory level is curren tly active by the number in
the display => fig. 11. The data from the single -trip memory
(memory level 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 2).
Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1)
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
data 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 automatically.
Total-trip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not reset
automatically. This permits you to evaluate your driving data for the
entire period between manual resets.
Fuel range
The estimated cruising range in miles (km) appears in the display .
The display changes in increments of 6 miles (10 km).
Average fuel mileage
The average fuel economy in MPG 0/100 km) since you last cleared
the memory appears in this display.
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneous fuel consumption in miles per gallon 0/100 km)
is shown in this display. When the vehicle is stationary, the most
recent fuel consumption is displayed.
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 time that you have been driving since you last reset
the memory appears in this display . The maximum time period that
can be recorded is 999 hours and 59 minutes.

Speed warning 2 ,,. / (Canada models)
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.
The speed warning 2 symbol, /
,J. (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 vehicle is equipped with a speed warning system,
you should still watch the speedometer to make sure you are not
driving faster than the speed limit. •

-Lift the wiper blade off in the direction of the arrow @.
Attaching the wiper blade
- Place the rounded end of the wiper onto the end of the
wiper arm in the
opposite direction to the arrow ®
~ page 65, fig. 64.
- Swing the wiper in the
opposite direction to the arrow©
onto the wiper arm.
Squeeze the corrugation on the wiper until you hear it
click in the wiper arm.
- Fold the wiper arm back onto the windshield.
- Switch the ignition on and move the wiper lever down
briefly. The wiper will move back to the park position.
The front wiper blades measure left side 23 .20 in . (590 mm) and
right side 18.50 in. (470 mm) in length,
Clean your wiper blades regularly with a windshield washer solution
to prevent streaking. If the blades are very dirty, for example with
insects, carefully clean the blades with a sponge or a soft brush.
If the wiper blades begin to streak the windshield, this could be
caused by residue left on the windshield by automatic car washes.
Fill the windshield washer container with a special solution avail­
able at your authorized Audi dealer to remove the residue.
Be sure to inspect the condition of your wiper blades regularly. For
safety reasons, replace your wiper blades once or twice a year if
necessary. See your authorized Audi dealer for replacement blades.
& WARNING
• Clean your wiper blades regularly with a windshield washer
solution to prevent streaking. If the wiper blades are very dirty, for

example with insects, carefully clean the wiper blades with a
sponge or a soft brush.
• For your safety, you should replace the wiper blades once or
twice a year. See your authorized Audi dealer for replacement blades.
0 Note
• The wiper blades may only be changed~ page 64 in the service
position! Otherwise, you risk damaging the paint on the hood or the
windshield wiper motor .
• To prevent damage to the wiper system:
-Always loosen blades which are frozen to the windshield
before operating wipers.
- Do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner, or other solvents
on or near the wiper blades ,
- Do not attempt to move the wipers by hand.
[ i] Tips
Commercial hot waxes applied by automatic car washes affect the
cleanability of the glass surface.
• The front wiper blades are different lengths; the blade on the
driver's side is longer. •

Avoid damaging the vehicle
When you are driving on poor roads, or over curbs, steep ramps,
etc., make certain that low -lying parts such as spoilers and exhaust
system parts do not bottom out and get damaged.
This is especially true for vehicles with low -slung chassis (sports
chassis) and fu lly loaded vehicles.
Operate your vehicle economically
and minimize pollution
General
Your personal style of driving will determine the economy
o f your vehicle, as well as exhaust and noise levels.
Fuel economy, environmental impact, and wear on your engine,
brakes and tires largely depend on three factors:
• your personal driving style
• operating conditions
• technical limitat ions
If you anticipate what you need to do next and drive economically,
you can easily cu t your fue l consumption by 10 -15 percent . This
section will give you some tips on how you can help the environ­
ment and your pocketbook .
[ i ) Tips
The consumption estimates as published by ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECT ION AGENCY (EPA) and Transport Canada may not corre­
spond to your actua l consumption on the road, which wi ll vary
depending upon vehic le load and speed, road and weather condi ­
tions, trip length, etc.
Drive smo~thly and keep a lookout ahead
Vehicles use the m ost fuel when they are accelerating.
Avoid unnecessary accelerating and braking.
Vehicles use the most fue l when they are accelerating . If you antici­
pate what is going to happen next, you will need to brake less and,
thus, accelerate less. Let the vehicle coast whenever possible -for
example when you see that the next traffic light is red.
Avoid full throttle
Driving at moderate speeds saves fuel and improves your
mileage.
-Try and keep we ll below your car's maximum speed.
Acce lerating gently reduces fuel consumption, engine wear, and
does not disturb the environment .
Fuel consumption, exhaust em issions and engine noise increase
disproportionately at high speeds. If you drive at approximately
three quarters of top speed, fuel consumption wil l be reduced by
one half. Never drive faster than the posted speed limit and weather
conditions permit .•
Reducing unnecessary idling
E ven when your car is just idling i t burns up fuel.
- Sh ut the eng ine off when you are not driving the vehicle.
- Do not warm up th e vehicle by letting the eng ine r un at
idle.
I t m akes sense to shut off the engine in traffic jams, when waiting
for trains to pass at rai lroad crossings, or at traffic lights that have
