you to make sure you have received all of the keys
when you purchase a used vehicle.
For examp le, if you on ly receive two keys, you
should take those keys to your authorized Audi
dealer to have the missing key deactivated so it
cannot be used. You should also report the miss­
ing key to your insurance company .
Calling up the driver information
A yellow or red symbol appears in the instrument
cluster display, usually with a driver message.
The driver message display disappears after about 5 seconds. The dr iver message can be dis­
played again by briefly pressing the
ISETI button.

You can learn more about this in the MMI manual
or in the radio user's manual.
(Di Tips
-When you sw itch off the ignition or open
the driver door, the time, date, odometer

The total tank capacity of your ve hicle is listed in
¢ page 273.
(D Note
Never run the tank completely dry! An ir regu­
lar supply of fuel can cause engine misfiring
and fuel could enter into the exhaust system.
The catalytic converter could then overheat
and be damaged.
Odometer
The odometer indicates the distance driven.
Fig. 5 Instrument cluster: odometer
Fig. 6 Instrument cluster: reset button
The display of distance driven is shown in kilome­
ters "km" or in "m iles".
- USA models -Miles
- Canada models - Kilometers
Yo u can switch from kilometers to miles or vise
versa in the radio o r in the MMI*. You can lea rn
more about this in the MMI manual or in the ra­

proximately 1 second if the engine is warm or if
the outside temperature is above 46 QF (8 QC).
(D Tips
- If the glow plug indicator light illuminates
while driving, there is an engine control
malfunction. The engine should be checked
immediately.
- If the indicator light does not illuminate at
all when switching the ignition on, there
may be a malfunction in the glow plug sys­
tem. The engine should be checked.
;J,./ fj Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC )
If the Gl indicator light blinks wh ile driving, the
ESC or ASR (Anti-Slip Regu lation) is active ly regu­
lating.
If the
DJ indicator light turns on, the system has
switched the ESC off. In this case , you can switch
the ignition off and then on to switch the ESC on
again. The indicator light turns off when the sys­
tem is functioning fully.
If the
II i ndicator light turns on, ESC was re­
stricted using the
I " OFF ! button ¢ page 186 .
Stabilization control (ESC /ABS): Fault! See
owner 's manual
If the GI indicator light and the ABS indicator
light ~ (USA models)
1iJ (Canada models)
turn on and the message appears, the ABS or
electronic differential lock is malfunctioning .
This also causes the ESC to malfunct io n. The
brakes still funct ion w ith their normal power, but
ABS is not active.
Drive to your authorized Audi dealer or qualified
workshop immediately to have the malfunct io n
corrected.
A WARNING
If the 1111 (USA models) JII (Canada mod­
els) brake system indicato r light turns on to­
gether with the ABS and ESC indicator lights,
the ABS/ESC regulating function may have
fai led . Functions that stabilize the vehicle are
no longer available. This cou ld cause the vehi-
Instruments and indicator lights
cle to swerve and increase the risk of sliding.
Drive carefully to the nearest authorized Aud i
dealer or other qualified workshop and have
the malfunction corrected.
(D Tips
For additional information on ESC and ABS,
refer to ¢
page 186.
t!i/!{' Safety systems
The II (USA models) a (Canada models) indi­
cator light monitors the safety systems (e.g . a ir­
bags, pretensioners) and illuminates for a few
seconds each time you switc h the ignition on.
If the
II (USA models) 1 m (Canada models) in­
dicator light does not go out, or if it illuminates
whi le you are dr iv ing, or if it starts to blink, then
there is a malfunct ion somewhere in the system .
If the light does not illum inate when you switch
the ignition on, this also means there is a mal­
function.
A WARNING
-
If you have a ma lfunction in the safety sys­
tems, contact your authorized Audi dealer im­ mediately . Otherwise the safety systems may
not work properly in an accident.

of a significant loss of tire pressure or if there is
a malfunction.
The indicator light [DJ illuminates to check the
function when you switch on the ignition.

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 .

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*
The eff ic iency program can help you to use less
fuel <::;>
