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

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:

pears at the top of the list. If more than three
energy consumers are switched on, the ones

A WARNING
- Never run the engine in confined spaces.
The exhaust gases are toxic - risk of poison­

ing!

- Never remove the key from the ignition
while the vehicle is moving. The steering
lock would engage, and you would not be
able to steer the car - risk of accident!
© CAUTION
Avoid high engine speeds, full throttle and ex­
treme load conditions until the engine has
reached its normal operating temperature;
otherwise this can damage the engine.
© For the sake of the environmen
Do not warm up the engine by running it with
the car stationary. You should drive off imme­
diately whenever possible. This will help avoid
unnecessary exhaust emissions.
© Note
- If it is difficult to turn the ignition key to po­
sition ®, move the steering wheel (to take
the load off the steering lock mechanism)
until the key turns freely.
- Any noises which may be heard when the
engine is started are quite normal and no
cause for concern.

A,
WARNING
- Never switch off the engine until the vehicle
is stationary. Otherwise you may not have
the full benefit of the brake servo and pow­
er steering. You may need more strength to
steer and brake the vehicle than you nor­
mally would. This would mean a greater risk
of accidents and serious injury, because you
cannot steer and brake in the normal
man­

ner.
- Never remove the key from the ignition
while the vehicle is moving. The steering
lock could engage suddenly, and you would
not be able to steer the car.
- Always take the key with you when you leave
the vehicle. Otherwise the engine can be
started or power-operated equipment such
as the electric windows can be used. This
could result in serious injury.
- When parking, always move the selector
lever to position
P
to prevent the vehicle
from rolling back accidentally.
© CAUTION
If the engine has been working hard
fora
long

time,
there is a risk of heat building up in the
engine compartment after the engine has
been switched off; this could cause engine
damage. For this reason, you should Leave the
engine idling for about 2 minutes before
switching
it
off.
