The single journey memory processes the infor­
mation on
a
journey from the time the ignition is
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 totaljour-
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
^>Fig.
15. The average fuel consump­
tion from the single journey memory can also be

displayed.
If the barturns green, yourvehicle is
saving fuel using the following function:
- Recuperation: Electrical energy can be stored in
the battery (recuperation) if the vehicle is trav­
elling downhill or coasting in gear (overrun). In
this case, the bar will move towards the
Q

symbol.

- Active Cylinder Management*: The engine au­
tomatically shuts down two cylinders when per­
formance demand is low and certain other
con­

ditions have been met. This process is imper­
ceptible to the occupants. The driver message

2-cylinder
mode will appear if the average fuel
consumption display
^>Fig.
15 is selected in the
instrument cluster. The cylinders are reactiva­
ted under heavier load conditions.
Energy consumers*
In the Energy consumers view, auxiliary equip­
ment currently affecting the vehicle's fuel
con­

sumption is listed. The display shows up to
three energy consumers. The energy consumer
drawing the most power appears at the top of
the list. If more than three energy consumers are
switched on, the ones currently using the most
power are displayed. In addition, a scale
indi­

cates the overall current fuel consumption of all
energy consumers.
Economy tips
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select and efficiency mode
In efficiency mode, economy tips are shown
briefly on the instrument cluster display in cer­
tain situations where fuel economy is affected.
By following these economy tips, you can save

fuel.

To clear an economy tip from the display immedi­
ately, press the left thumbwheel on the multi­
function steering wheel.
To activate/deactivate economy
tips:
Select the
following on the infotainment system:
|MENU|

© Note
- The date, the time and the time/date dis­
play format can be changed via the infotain­
ment system

- The economy tips are not always displayed
in every conceivable situation, but are delib­
erately spaced out over time.
- Once you have cleared an economy tip from
the display, it will not appear again until the
next time you switch on the ignition.

Applies to: vehicles with efficiency program
The efficiency program can help to save
fuel.
It
evaluates fuel efficiency data, shows a list of aux­
iliary equipment affecting fuel consumption, and
suggests gear changes. It also provides economy
tips for saving
fuel.

The efficiency program uses the trip and fuel
con­

sumption data from the short-term memory.
When you clear the data from the efficiency pro­

gram,
the values in the short-term memory are
reset to zero.
The following additional displays are available in
the efficiency program, depending on the vehicle
equipment:
- Advanced gear-change indicator: The advanced
gear-change indicator is based on the same
log­

ic as the "regular" gear-change indicator. The
"regular" gear-change indicator disappears
from the display when the advanced gear-
change indicator appears

- Energy consumers: The efficiency program
shows a List of energy consumers currently af­
fecting the vehicle's fuel consumption. The dis­
play shows up to three energy consumers. The
energy consumer drawing the most power ap­
pears at the top of the list. If more than three
energy consumers are switched on, the ones
currently using the most power are displayed.

Heating and cooling
Heating and cooling
Heating system/air
conditioner
Description
One of the following systems may be fitted, de­
pending on the equipment in your vehicle:
- Heating and ventilation system or
- Manual air conditioner* or
- Automatic air conditioner* (deluxe version)
The heating and ventilation system* heats and
ventilates the vehicle interior. The air condition­
er* additionally cools and dehumidifies the air in­
side the vehicle. It operates most effectively with
the windows and the panorama sun roof* closed.
If the vehicle has been standing in the sun, it may
cool down faster if
you
open the windows briefly
to let the hot air escape.
Pollution filter
The pollution filter removes impurities, such as
dust and pollen, from the air.
Key-coded settings
Various settings are stored and assigned to the
remote control key in use.
Default settings
Default settings for certain functions can be se­
lected on the infotainment system.
SeLect the following on the infotainment system:

|MENU|
button
>
Car
>
left control button
>
A/C.
Supplementary heater*
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
The vehicle interior warms up more quickly with
the supplementary heater. The system automati­
cally switches the supplementary heater on
tem­

porarily as required, depending on the setting on
the vehicle heating system.
The supplementary heater function can be
switched on or off as required. SeLect the follow­
ing on the infotainment system:
|MENU|

Auto supple­
mentary heater.
® For the sake of the environment
I

- Switch off the cooling mode on the air
con­

ditioner* by pressing the A/C button if you
wish to save
fuel.
This will also reduce emis­

sions.
The LED in the button will go out
when the air conditioner is switched off.
- On vehicles with efficiency program*, you
can see how your fuel consumption is being
affected by auxiliary equipment and have
tips for improved fuel economy displayed

automatic supplementary heater function
can be switched off on the infotainment sys­
tem

©
- Keep the air intake slots in front of the
windscreen clear of snow, ice and Leaves to
ensure unimpaired heating and cooling, and
to prevent the windows misting over.
- Condensation can drip off the air cooling

system*
and form a pool underneath the ve­

hicle.
This is normal and does not indicate a
leak.
- If
you
notice, for instance, that the seat* or
rear window heating is not working, it may
have been temporarily switched off by the
power management function. These sys­
tems will be available again as soon as
suffi­

cient electrical power is available.

The air conditioner contains fluorinated
greenhouse gases. Further information is pro­
