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

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.

Applies to: vehicles with efficiency program
The efficiency program can help to save
fuel.
It
evaluates fuel efficiency data, shows a list of aux­

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.
In addition, a scale indicates the overall current
