F ig . 8 Instrument cluster: fuel consumpt ion d isplay

You can call up the fo llowing info rmat ion in the
on-board computer:
- Da te
- Dr iv ing t ime from the short-te rm memory
-Average consumption from the short -term
memory
- Average speed from the short-term memory
- Distance driven from the short-term memory
- Current fuel consumption
- Short-term memory overv iew
- Long -te rm memory overv iew
The short-term memory collects drivi ng informa­
tion from the time the ignition is switched on un­
ti l it is switched off . If you continue driving with­
i n two hours after switch ing the ignit ion off, the
new values are included when ca lculating the cur­
rent trip information.
Un like the sho rt -term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automatically. You can se­
l ect the time period for evaluating trip informa ­
tion yourself .
Fuel consumption
The current f uel consumption can be shown us­
i ng a bar graph ¢
fig. 8. The average consump­
tion stored in the short-term memory is also d is­
played. If the bar is green, your vehicle is sav ing
fuel through one of the following functions :
-Rec uperation : electrical energy can be stored in
the vehicle battery when the vehicle is coast ing
or driving down hill. T he bar will move toward
0.
-Cy linder on demand system*: the engine auto­
matically switches four cylinders (4 .0L TFSI) or
six cylinders (6.3L FSI) off when lower power
output is required and other conditions are
met. Th is change is not noticeable to the pas­
sengers . The cylinders w ill switch on aga in
when higher power output is needed .
