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.
Shift light display in the rev counter
Applies to: vehicles with Audi virtual cockpit and shift light
display
The shift light display is only visible in the sport
view* ¢ page 25 when shifting gears in tiptron
ic mode. Green, yellow and red zones are dis
played in the high-rev area of the dial. The entire
rev counter flashes in red at engine speeds near
the limit. Remember to shift to the next gear in
good time.
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.

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 automatically. 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. The average fuel consumption from
the single journey memory can also be displayed.
If the bar turns green, your vehicle is saving fuel
using one of the following functions:
- Recuperation: Electrical energy can be stored in
the vehicle battery (recuperation) if the vehicle
is travelling downhill or coasting in gear (over
run). In this case, the bar will move towards the

1. Switch on the ignition.
2. Press
and hold down the two outer buttons
on the operating unit<=> page 36, Fig. 28 until
the yellow LED@ goes out and the green
LED CD flashes. This procedure will delete the
standard factory settings and does not need
to be repeated when programming the other
buttons.
3. Briefly
press the particular button in the op

9. If the garage door or other system still fails
to be activated using the buttons in the oper
ating unit after programming is completed,
it is possible that the system might be work
ing with a rolling code instead of the normal
fixed security code. If this is the case, a roll
ing code progr amming is required in addi
tion to the steps described above
¢page 37.
Follow the instructions above to program the
other two buttons. Start with the 3rd step.
Erasing the button programming
Programmed buttons can only be erased all at
once; it is not possible to erase them individually.
Reprogram the buttons if necessary.
� Switch on the ignition.
� Press and hold down the two outer buttons on
the operating unit until the yellow LED @
goes
out and the green LED CD
flashes.
Reprogramming the buttons
� Switch on the ignition.
� To reprogram an individual button, press and
hold the desired button until the green LED CD
goes out and the yellow LED @
starts to flash

ton immediately. The programming mode is
then activated for S minutes.

Some devices require rolling code programming.
Identifying a rolling code
� Press a programmed button in the operating
unit again and hold it down.
� Watch the green LED CD
¢ page 36, Fig. 28. If
the green LED starts flashing rapidly, this indi
cates that the system you wish to operate, such
as a garage door, is equipped with a rolling
code.
� Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating a system's drive unit
� Locate
the programming button on the sys
tem's drive unit. The exact location and colour
of the button may vary depending on the type
of system.
� Press
the programming button on the system's
drive unit (this will normally cause an indicator
lamp on the unit to light up). You now have
about 30 seconds to start and complete pro
gramming of the button in the operating unit.
Programming the button in the operating
unit
� Press the previously programmed button in the
operating unit for 2 seconds.
� Press the button for 2 seconds again to com
plete rolling code programming.
� For some systems, the button may have to be
pressed a third time to complete the program
ming sequence.
After programming, the system should recognise
the signal and respond when the button in the
operating unit is pressed. Now the other control
buttons can be programmed as required.

- Having a second person assist you makes
programming of the rolling code easier and
faster. ..,_

Windscreen wipers
Switching on the windscreen wipers
Fig. 48 Windscreen wiper lever
Move the windscreen wiper lever to the appropri
ate position:
@- Wipers off
CD- Intermittent wipe. Move switch @ to the left
or to the right to increase or reduce the wiper de
lay interval. If your vehicle is equipped with the
rain sensor*, the windscreen wipers will be acti
vated automatically in the rain as long as the ve
hicle has been moving faster than approx. 4 km/
ha t least once. The higher the sensitivity level for
the rain sensor* is (i.e. the further to the right
the position of switch @ is), the sooner the wind
screen wipers react to moisture on the wind
screen. You can deactivate the rain sensor mode*
on the infotainment system (this will activate the
intermittent wipe mode). Select the following on
the infotainment system: !MENU! button> Car >
left control button > Driver assist> Rain sensor >
off.
@- Slow wipe
@ -Fast wipe
@ -Single wipe. If you hold the lever in this posi
tion, the wipers will switch from slow continuous
wiping to fast continuous wiping after a while.
® -Wash/wipe. The screen is given an extra wipe
a few seconds later to remove any dribbles of wa
ter (if the vehicle is moving and the temperature
is above approx. 4 °C). You can deactivate this
function by moving the lever to position @again
within 10 seconds after the extra wipe. The ex-
so tra-wipe
function is activated again the next time
you switch on the ignition.
Headlight washers*. The headlight washer sys
tem* only operates when the lights are switched
on. The headlights are automatically washed the
first time and every fifth time you move the lever
to position ®·
A WARNING
- The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver is still obliged to man
ually operate the windscreen wipers as re
quired depending on visibility.
- Do not use water-repellent coatings on the
windscreen. In bad visibility conditions such
as light rain, low sun or when driving at
night these coatings can cause increased
dazzle, which is a serious safety hazard.
Such coatings can also cause the wiper
blades to judder.
- Poor visibility can cause accidents. Always
ensure that the wiper blades are in good
condition ¢ page 51, Changing the wind
screen wiper blades.
CD CAUTION
- In icy conditions, check that the wiper
blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If
the wiper blades are frozen to the wind
screen when you switch on the windscreen
wipers, this could damage the wiper blades.
- Make sure you switch off the windscreen
wiper system (lever in position 0) before you
use an automatic car wash. This will avoid
inadvertent triggering of the wipers and
possible damage to the wiper system.
i Note
- The windscreen wipers are deactivated
when the ignition is switched off. You can
activate the windscreen wipers after switch
ing the ignition on again by moving the
windscreen wiper lever to any position.
- Worn or dirty wiper blades can cause smear
ing on the glass. This can also impair the ef
fectiveness of the rain sensor*. Please check
the wiper blades regularly. ______ �
