Trip computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on current and
average fuel mileage, average speed, fuel range and
driving time.

mil eage
The follow ing driving information is continuously evaluated by the
trip computer and can be displayed sequen tially in the inst rument
cluster d isplay.
Fuel range
The estimated cruising range in miles (km) appears in the display .
T his tells you how far your vehicle w ill be ab le to travel on t he cu rre nt
tank of fuel and w ith the same driv ing style. The display changes in
increments of 6 miles
(10 km) .
The cru is ing range is ca lculated based on the fuel consumpt ion 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 (l/100 km) s ince you last clea red
the memory appears in this disp lay. You can use this display to adjust
your dr iv ing techn ique to achieve a desired mileage. ..,

Fuel consumption is recalculated at inte rvals of 33 ya rds (30 metres).
When the vehicle is stat ionary, the most recent fuel consumption is
displ ayed.
Average speed
Th e average speed in mph (km/h) since the last time the display w as

• Fuel consumptions (average and cu rrent), ra nge a nd speed are
displayed in metr ic units on Canadian models.
• All s tored values will be lost if the vehicle battery is

Driving and environment
(I] Tip s
The consumption estimates as pub lished by ENV IRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) and Transport Canada may not corre
spond to your actual consumption on the road, which will vary
depending upon vehicle load and speed, road and weather conditions,
trip length, etc. •
Drive smoothly and keep a lookout ahead
Vehicles use the most fuel when they are accelerating .
-Avo id unnecessary accelerating and braking.
Vehicles use the most fue l when they a re accele rating. 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 l ight is red. •
Avoid full throttle
Driving at moderate speeds saves fuel and improves your
mileage.
- Try and keep well below your car's maximum speed .
Accelerating gently reduces fuel consumption, engine wear, and does
not disturb the environment.
Fuel consumption, exhaust emissions and engine noise increase
disproportionately at high speeds . If you drive at approx imately three
qua rters of top speed, fuel consumption will be reduced by one half.
Never drive faster than the posted speed limit and weather condi
tions permit.
a Reducing unnecessary idling
Even when your car is just idling it burns up fuel.
-
Shut the engine off when yo u are not driving the vehicle.
- Do not warm up the vehic le by letting the eng ine run at
idle.
It makes sense to shut off the engine in traffic jams, when waiting for
trains to pass at rai lroad crossings, o r at traffic lights that have long
wa its on red . Turn ing the eng ine off for just 30-40 seconds saves
more fuel than is burned starting the engine again.
It takes a long t ime for the engine to warm up fully when it is running
at idle. Howeve r, wear and noxious emissions are espec ially high
when the eng ine is wa rm ing up. So you sho uld d rive away as soon as
you start the engine and avoid running at hig h rpms while the eng ine
is still warming up.
0 Note
Do not leave engine idling unattended after starting . If warning
lights should come on to indicate improper operation, they would go
unheeded. Extended idling also produces heat, which cou ld result in
overheat ing o r othe r damage to the vehicle or other p roperty. •
Regular maintenanc_e ____________ _
A badly tuned engine unnecessarily wastes a lot of fuel .
- Have your vehicle serviced at regular intervals .
By having yo ur vehicle regularly se rviced by an Audi dealer helps to
ensure that it runs properly and economically . T he condition of your
vehicle not only a ffects its safety and ability to ho ld its va lue, it a lso
affects
fu el con sumption .
Check your o il e ach tim e you fill you r tank.
