Rev counter
The rev counter indicates the number of engine
revolutions per minute.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the
maximum engine speed which may be used brief
ly in all gears when the engine is warm and after
it has been run in properly. However, it is advisa
ble to change up a gear or move the selector lev
er to D/S (or lift your foot off the accelerator) be
fore the needle reaches the red zone.
CD CAUTION
The rev counter needle must only ever briefly
go into the red zone on the scale; otherwise
there is a risk of engine damage. The start of
the red zone on the dial is different for some
engine versions.
@ For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to save
fuel and minimise engine noise.

The trip recorder shows the distance that has

You can call up the following information se
quentially on the on-board computer:
- Time & date ¢ page 186
- Average fuel consumption (ltr./100 km)
- Single journey memory summary
- Total journey memory summary
The single journey memory processes the infor
mation on a journey from the time the ignition is
switched on until it is switched off. If the journey
is resumed within two hours after the ignition is
switched off, the new figures are automatically
included in the calculation.
Unlike the single journey memory, the total jour
ney memory is not erased automatical ly. In this
way, you can determine the period for which you
wish the on-board computer to supply driving in
formation.
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption can be shown in a
bar display ¢ Fig. 13. The average fuel consump
tion (ltr./100 km) from the single journey memo
ry can also be displayed. If the bar turns green,
your vehicle is saving fuel using one of the fol
lowing functions:
- Recuperation: Electrical energy can be stored in
the battery (recuperation) if the vehicle is trav
elling downhill or coasting in gear (overrun). In
this case, the bar will move towards the 0

.... Camera-based
traffic
sign recognition
Description
Applies to vehicles: with camera-based traffic sign recognition
Fig. 14 Instrument cluster: Traffic sign recognition (exam
ple)
Fig. 15 Windscreen: Camera window for traffic sign recog
nition
Traffic signs detected by the camera appear in
the infotainment display to keep you informed of
current speed restrictions and no-overtaking
zones. In cases where the system is able to de
tect temporary speed limits applicable in wet
weather g;J or at certain times of day�
¢ Fig. 14 it will also display these traffic restric
tions.
General notes
The traffic sign recognition system can detect
standardised speed limit signs within the cam
era's range of vision. It makes use of the naviga
tion data to evaluate the detected speed limits
and show them on the display. Under certain con
ditions, the system will also display the legal
speed limits on roads without speed limit signs.
Traffic sign recognition is not available in all
countries. For a current list, see the Internet (e.g. Driver
information system
www.audi.com). The system is also subject to cer
tain inherent restrictions and may be partially or
completely unavailable in the following situa
tions:
- If visibility is impaired by snow, rain, fog or
heavy road spray.
- In dazzling light, e.g. from the sun or oncoming
traffic.
-At high speeds.
- If the camera's range of vision � Fig. 15 is im-
paired, e.g. by dirt or stickers. Notes on clean
ing ¢ page 236.
- If the traffic signs are partially or completely
obscured, e.g. by trees, snow, mud or other
vehicles.
- If traffic signs deviate from the standard ap
pearance (round with red border).
- If traffic signs are damaged or bent.
- If matrix traffic signs are mounted on overhead
gantries.
- If traffic signs or routes have changed (naviga-
tion data out of date).
Some types of slow moving vehicles (such as
heavy goods vehicles) carry speed stickers which,
if detected by the system, may affect the display.
& WARNING
Always direct your full attention to the road
and surroundings, even when you are using
traffic sign recognition. The actual traffic
signs on your route always take precedence
over the information on the display. It is al
ways the driver's responsibility to assess the
traffic situation and take appropriate care.
- Under adverse conditions, the traffic sign
recognition system may misinterpret or fail
to detect traffic signs. It is therefore possi
ble that the speed limit display may occa
sionally be unavailable or even incorrect.
- The traffic sign recognition system does not
warn you if you exceed the speed limit and
does not alter the speed of your vehicle to
obey the speed limit.
- The speed limit displayed in the instrument
cluster (e.g. SO) may apply in mph or km/h,
depending on the units applicable in a par
ticular country.
