A WARNING
-If the 1111 (USA models) . (Canada mod­
els) brake system indicator light t urns on to­
gether with the ABS and ESC indicator
lights, the ABS/ESC regulating function may
have failed . Functions that stab ilize the ve­
hicle a re no longe r available . This could
ca use the vehicle to swerve and increase the
risk of sliding. Drive ca refully to t he nearest
autho rize d Aud i dealer or other quali fied
workshop and have the ma lfunction co rrect ­
ed.
- If the bra ke warn ing/indicator light does
not go out after a few seconds and the park­
ing brake is released, or lights up while you
are driving, the flu id leve l in the brake fluid
reservoir is too low. If you believe that it is
safe to do so, proceed immediately at low
speed to the nearest authorized Audi dealer
o r qualified repair facility and have the
bra ke system inspected.
- Always keep in mind tha t afte r severa l brake
applications, you will need greate r pressure
o n the brake pedal to stop yo ur vehicle. Do
not rely on straine d brakes to respond w ith
maximum stopping power in criti cal situa ­
tions . You must allow for increased braking
16
distances. The extra distance used up by
fading brakes co uld lead to an accident .

Introduction
General notes
The driver information display inside the instru­
ment cluster provides you , the driver, with much
useful information.
Fig. 8 Instrument cl uster : ce nt er display
Information from the driver information system
is shown in the display in the center of the instr u­
ment cluster.
When you turn on the ignition and while you are
driving, some functions and vehicle components
are sca nned for their operat ing status. Malfunc­
tions or required service procedures are signaled
audibly and shown by red and yellow lighted
symbols and reminders to the driver in the dis­
play.
The driver is also shown information about rad io
and CD operat ion and directions for the naviga­
tion system*. You can find addit ional information
on these subjects in the radio or MMI* manual.
The illustrations in the instrument panel display
differ in some of the vehicles .

Driver i nf orm ati on sy stem
Outside temperature display
Fig. 10 D isplay : ou ts ide te m pe ratur e
At temperatures below 39 °F (+4 °C), a snowflake
symbol appears in front of the temperature dis ­
p lay . It is intended to remind the driver to pay
specia l attent ion to
ic e on th e ro ad .
If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are driving at
a very low speed, the temperature shown in the
display m ight be slightly higher than the act ual
outside temperature . T his is caused by the heat
be ing rad iated from the engine.
The unit of measurement for the temperature can be set in either °For in °Con the MMI* or on
the radio control un it. The outside temperatu re
d isp lay automatically shows the unit of measure­
ment that has been set. For add itional informa ­
tion, see the
MMI* or the rad io instruction man ­
ual.
A WARNING
- Never use the outside temperature display
to determine if a road surface is icy or not.
Keep in mind that road surfaces , especially
bridges and overpasses, could be ice cov­
ered and slippery even at an outside tem ­
perature above 39 °F (+4 °C) .
- Always remember, even if the "snowflake"
symbol ( ice warn ing) does not appear in the
display, black ice could be on the road .
-Always red uce your speed and drive with
special care in cold weather cond itions when
t h e chance of encounter ing icy road surfaces
increases.

On-board computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on cur­
rent and average fuel mileage, average speed ,
fuel range and driving time .
Fig. 14 Trip comp uter d isp lay: Average fuel mileage
19

Driver information system
The following information is continuously evalu­
ated by the trip computer and can be displayed
sequent ially in the instrument cluster display:
Fuel range
The estimat ed cruising range in miles (km) ap­
pears in the disp lay. Thi s tells you how far your
vehicle wi ll be able to t ravel on the current tank
of fuel and with the same driving style. The dis­
play changes in increments of 5 miles (10 km) .
Average fuel mileage
The average f uel economy in MPG (l/100 km)
since you last cleared the memory appears in this
display . You can use this display to adjust your
driving technique to achieve a desired mileage.
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneo us fue l cons umption in miles per
ga llon (l/100 km) is shown in this display. You
can use th is disp lay to adjust your driv ing techn i­
que to achieve a desired mi leage.
Fuel consumption is recalculated at intervals of
33 ya rds (30 meters).
Average speed
The average speed in mph (km/h) since the last
time the display was reset appears in the disp lay.
Elapsed time
The length of time that you have been driving
since you last reset the memory appears in this
disp lay.
Distance
The distance that has been covered since the last
time the memory was cleared appears in the dis­
play.
@ Tips
- Fuel consumptions (average and current),
range and speed are displayed in metric
units on Canadian models.
- All stored val ues w ill be lost if the vehicle
battery is disconnected.

Memories
The trip computer is equipped with two fully au­
tomatic memories as well as an efficiency pro­
gram*.
Fig. 15 Trip computer d isplay: memory level 1
You can switch between the trip computer 1 and
2 and the efficiency program * by pressing the
IRESET I button@<=>page 21, fig. 16 .
You can tell which memory level is currently ac­
tive by the number or the sign in the display
c> fig. 15. The data from the single-trip memory
(memory level 1) is being d isplayed 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 fuel pump nozzle
ii1 indi­
cates the efficiency program* <::;>
page 22.
Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1)
The single-trip memory stores the trip informa­
tion 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 information. If the trip is inter­
rupted for
more than 2 hours the memo ry is re­
set automatically .
Total-trip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-tr ip
memory is not reset automatically . This permits
you to eva luate your dr iv ing data for the enti re
period between manua l resets.
Efficiency program*
