(mu ltifunction display) menu The multifunction display (MFD) has two au-
tom
atic
memories: 1 - Partial memory and 2 -
Total memory . The selected memory will be
shown in the upper right-hand corner of the
display.
With the ignition switched on, and memory 1
or 2 displayed, briefly press OK to change
from one memor y
to another
1
Trip memo-
ry (for a sin-
gle jour-
ney).
The memory stores the values for the
journey and the consumption from the
moment the ignition is switched on until
it is switched off again.
If the journey is broken for more than 2
hours, the memory is automatically
erased. If the journey is continued in less
than 2 hours after the ignition is switch-
ed off, the new data is added to the data
already stored in the memory.
2 Total mem-
ory (for all
journeys).
The memory records the values for a spe-
cific number of partial trips, up to a total
of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99 hours
and 59 minutes, or 1999.9 km (or miles)
for 9999 km (or miles), depending on the
model of instrument panel. On reaching
either of these limits, the memory is au-
tomatically erased and starts to count
from 0 again. Possible displays
Travelling timeThis indicates the hours (h) and mi-
nutes (min) since the ignition was
switched on.
Current fuel
consumption
The current fuel consumption while
driving is displayed in l/100 km (or
miles per gallon, mpg); when the en-
gine is running but the vehicle is not
moving, in l/h (or gallons per hour).
Average fuel
consumption
When the ignition is switched on, the
average consumption (in l/100 km or
in mpg) is displayed after the vehicle
has moved approximately 100 metres
(328 feet). Otherwise horizontal lines
are displayed. The value shown is up-
dated approximately every 5 seconds.
Operating
range
Approximate distance in km (or miles)
that can still be travelled with the fuel
remaining in the tank, assuming the
same style of driving is maintained.
This is calculated using the current
fuel consumption.
Distance cov-
eredDistance travelled, after ignition is
switched on, in km (or miles).
Average speed
After the ignition is switched on, the
average speed will be shown after a
distance of approximately 100 metres
(328 feet) has been travelled. Other-
wise horizontal lines are displayed.
The value shown is updated approxi-
mately every 5 seconds.

Informative text
Information relating to different vehicle processes. Mileage
The odomet
er
r
egisters the total distance
travelled by the car.
The odometer (trip ) shows the distance
travelled since the last odometer reset. The
last digit of the trip recorder indicates distan-
ces of 100 metres or one tenths of a mile.
Outside temperature display
When the outside temperature is below +4°C
(+39°F), the symbol “ice crystal” (warning of
risk of freezing) is also displayed next to the temperature. At first this symbol flashes and
then it rem
ains lit until the outside tempera-
ture rises above +6°C (+43°F) ››› .
When the v
ehic
le is at a standstill, with the
auxiliary heating on ( ››› page 177), or when
travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be higher than the true
outside temperature, as a result of the heat
produced by the engine.
The temperatures measured range from
-40°C to +50°C (-40°F to +122°F).
Compass
With the ignition on and the navigation sys-
tem on, the cardinal point corresponding to
the vehicle's direction of travel is displayed
on the instrument panel ››› page 103.
Selector lever positions
The range of engaged gears of the selector
lever is shown on the side of the lever, and
on the instrument panel display. In positions
D and S, and with the Tiptronic, the corre-
sponding gear is also displayed.
Recommended gear (manual gearbox)
The recommended gear in order to save fuel
is displayed on the instrument panel while
you are driving ›››

o the speedometer, the speed

WARNING
Even though outside temperatures are above
freez in
g, some roads and bridges may be icy.
● At outside temperatures above +4°C
(+39°F), even when the “ice c
rystal symbol”
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.
● Do not rely on the outside temperature in-
dicator! Note
● Differ ent
versions of the instrument panel
are available and therefore the versions and
instructions on the display may vary. In the
case of displays without warning or informa-
tion texts, faults are indicated exclusively by
the warning lamps.
● When several warnings are active at the
same time, the symbol
s are shown succes-
sively for a few seconds and will stay on until
the fault is rectified. Compass*

Magnetic zones The compass does not require calibration in
v
ehic
l
es for which the navigation system was
mounted at the factory. The option compass
disappears.
The compass in vehicles in which the naviga-
tion system was not mounted at the factory,
is permanently and automatically calibrated.
If electronic or metal accessories (mobile
phone, television) are subsequently mounted
in the vehicle, the compass should be recali-
brated manually.
Adjusting the magnetic zone
● Switch the ignition on.
● Select the Settings menu fol
lowed by the
option Compass and Zone.
● Select the magnetic zone corresponding to
the position of
the vehicle ››› Fig. 119. ●
Adjust
and confirm the magnetic zone
(1-15 ).
Calibrating compass
To calibrate the compass you must be in one
of the valid magnetic zones with sufficient
space to be able to trace a circumference
with the vehicle.
● Switch the ignition on.
● Select the Settings menu fol
lowed by the
option Compass and Calibrate .
● Confirm the message Describe a com-
plete circumference to calibrate
the compass with OK and then trace a
c omp
l
ete circumference driving at approxi-
mately 10 km/h (6 mph).
When the corresponding cardinal point is dis-
played, the calibration is complete.
