The following information is continuo usly evalu­
ated by the trip computer and can be displayed
seq uent ia lly in the instrument cl uster display:
Fue l range
The estimated cruising range in m iles (km) ap­
pears in t he disp lay . This te lls you how fa r your
vehicle wi ll be able to travel on the current tank
of fuel and with the same driving style. The dis ­
p lay changes in increments of 5 mi les (10 km) .
Average fuel mileage
The average fue l economy in M PG (l/ 100 km)
since yo u last cleared the memory appears in this
disp lay . You can use this display to adjust your
driving technique to achieve a desired mileage .
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneous fuel consumption in miles per
ga llon (l/100 km) is shown in this display . Yo u
can use th is disp lay to adjust your d riving techni ­
q ue to achieve a desi red mileage .
F ue l consumption is reca lcula ted at interva ls of
33 yards (30 meters). This d isplay switches to
ga llons/ho ur (lite rs/hour) when the vehicle 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
T he length of time that you have been driving
since you last reset the memory appears in this
d isp lay .
Distance
The distance that has been covered s ince the last
t ime the memory was cleared appears in the dis­
p lay .
@ Tips
-Fuel consumptions (average and current),
range and speed are disp layed in metric
units on Canadian models .
- All stored va lues w ill be lost if the veh icle
battery is disconnected.

(memory level 1) is being displayed if a
D ap­
pears in the display. If a fJ is shown, then the da­
ta from the total-trip memory is being d isplayed
(memory level 2) . The fue l pump nozzle

Single-trip memory (Trip compute r 1)
The sing le-tr ip memory stores the tr ip info rma­
t ion from the time the ignition is turned on until
i t is turned off . If the trip is continued
within 2
hours
from the t ime the ignition was turned off,
the new data will be included in the calcu lation of
t h e curren t trip informat io n. If the trip is inter­
rupted for
more than 2 hour s the memory is re­
set automatically .
Total-trip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the single-tr ip memo ry, the total-trip
memo ry is not reset automat ica lly. This permits
you to eva luate yo ur dr iv ing da ta fo r the ent ire

consumption by 10-15 percent. This section will
give you some tips on how you can help the envi­ ronment and your pocketbook.
(D Tips
The consumption estimates as published by ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA)
and Transport Canada may not correspond to
your actual consumption on the road, wh ich
w ill vary depend ing 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 acceler­
ating .
"'Avoid unnecessary accelerating and braking.
Vehicles use the most fuel when they are acceler­
ating . If you anticipate what is going to happen
next, you will need to brake less and, thus, accel­
erate less. Let the vehicle coast whenever possi­
ble -for example when you see that the next traf­
fic light is red .
Avoid full throttle
Driving at moderate speeds saves fuel and im­
proves your mileage.
"' Try and keep well be low your car's max imum
speed.
Accelerating gently reduces fuel consumption,
engine wear, and does not disturb the environ ­
ment.
Fue l consumption, exhaust emissions and engine
noise increase disproportionately at high speeds.
If you drive at approximately three quarters of
top speed, fuel consumpt ion w ill be reduced by
one half. Never dr ive faster than the posted
speed lim it and weather conditions permit .

· Reducing unnecessary idling
Even when your car is just idling it burns up fuel .
"'Shut the engine off when you are not driving
the vehicle.
"' Do not warm up the vehicle by letting the en-
gine run at idle .
The idling phase is automatically reduced for
vehicles with the Start-Stop-System*. It is effi­ c ient to sw itch off the eng ine in vehicles w ithout
the Start-Stop-System* when stopped at railroad
crossings and long red lights. Turn ing the engine
off for just 30-40 seconds saves more fuel than is
burned by start ing the eng ine again.
It takes a long t ime for the engine to warm up
fully when it is runn ing at id le . However, wear
and noxious emissions are especia lly high when
the engine is warming up. So you sho uld drive
away as soon as you start the eng ine and avoid
running at high rpms whi le the engine is s till
warming up.
Q) Note
Do not leave engine id ling unattended after
starting. If warning lights should come on to
indicate improper operation, they would go
unheeded. Extended idling also produces
heat, which could result in overheating or oth­
er damage to the veh icle or other property.
· Regular maintenance
A badly tuned engine unnecessarily wastes a lot
of fuel.
"' Have your vehicle serviced at regu lar intervals.
By having your veh icle reg ularly serv iced by an
authorized Aud i dea le r helps to ensure that i t
runs proper ly and economica lly. The condition of
your vehicle not on ly affects its safety and ability
to hold its value, it also affects
fuel consump ­
t ion .

e n g in e
Using the proper engine o il is important for the
functionality and serv ice life of the engine. Your
engine was facto ry-filled with a high-qua lity oil
which can usually be used throughout the entire
year.
(D Note
Your Limited New Vehicle Warranty does not
cover damage or malfunctions due to failure
to follow recommended maintenance and use
requirements as set forth in the Audi Owner's Manual and Warranty
& Ma intenance booklet.
- Use only a high qua lity eng ine oil that ex-
pressly complies w ith the Audi o il quality
standard specified for your vehicle's engine.
Using any other oil can cause serious engine
damage.
- Do not mix any lubricants or other additives
into the engine oil. Doing so can cause en­
gine damage.
(D Tips
If you need to add oil and there is none availa­
ble that meets the Audi o il quality standard
your eng ine requires, you may add a total of
no more than 0.5 quart/liter of a h igh-quality
"synthe tic"oil that meets the followi ng speci­
fications.
- Vehicles with gasoli ne engine: AC EA A3 o r
API SM wi th a viscosity g rade of SAE OW-30,
SA E SW-30 or SAE SW-40 .
- Vehicles wi th d iesel engine: AC EA C3 o r
API CF wi th a v iscosi ty grade of SA E OW-30
or SAE SW-30.

· Eng ine oil consumption
The engine in your vehicle depends on an ade­
quate amount of oil to lubricate and cool all of
its moving parts.
In order to prov ide effective lubrication and coo l­
i ng of internal engine components, all internal
combust ion engines consume a certa in amount
of oil. Oil consumpt ion va ries from engine to en­
gine and may change sig nificantly over the life of
the engine. Typically, eng ines wi th a specified
break -in period (see¢
page 198) consume mo re
o il during t he b reak-in period than they co nsume
after oil consumption has stabilized .
Un der normal cond itions, the rate o f oi l con­
sumption depends on the q uality and viscos ity o f
the oil, the RPM (revolutions per min ute) at
which the engine is operated, the ambient tem­ perature and road condit ions. Further factors are
the amount of o il dilution from water condensa­
tion or fuel residue and the ox idat ion leve l of the
o il. As any engine is subject to wear as mileage
builds up, the oil consumption may inc rease over
time unt il rep lacement of worn compone nts may
become necessary.
With a ll these variab les coming into p lay, no
standard rate of oil consumpt ion can be estab­
li shed or spec ified. There is no alte rnative to reg­
u lar and frequent checking of the oil leve l, see
Note .
If the yellow engine oil leve l warning symbo l in
the i nstrument cluster
II lights up, you should
c h ec k t he o il level as soon as poss ible
cf> page 2 25. Top off the oil at your ear liest con­
venience

A WARNING
Before you check anything in the engine com­
partment, always read and heed a ll WARN­
INGS¢ .&.
in Working in the engine compart­
ment on page 221.
(D Note
Driving wit h an insufficient oi l level is likely to
cause severe damage to the engine.
