have the malfunction corrected.
~ Safety belts
This warning/indicator light reminds you to
put on your safety belt.
The . warning/ind icator light ill uminates
when the ignition is switched on to remind
the driver and any front passenger to put on

belt warning light.
0 Battery
The . warning/indicator light illuminates
when you switch on the ignition and must go
out after the engine has started.
• Alternator fault: Battery is not being
charged
If the indicator light turns on and the mes ­
sage appears, there is a malfunction in the
generator or vehicle e lectrica l system .
Drive to your autho rized Aud i dealer or quali­
fied workshop immediately . Because the vehi­
cle battery is discharging, turn
off all unnec­
essary electrical equipment such as the radio .
Seek professional assistance if the battery
charge level is too low.
(•) Low battery: Battery will be charged
while driving
If the indicator light turns on and the mes­
sage appears, there may be limited starting
ability .
If thi s message turns off after a litt le w hile,
the battery charged eno ugh wh ile driving.
If the message does not turn
off, have your
author ized Audi dealer or qualified workshop
correct the malfunction.
"l::;r: Engine oil pressure
The red engine oil pressure warning symbol
requires immediate service or repair . Driving
with a low-oil-pressure indication is likely to
inflict severe damage to the engine.
• Turn off engine! Oil pressure too low
If the indicator light turns on and the mes­
sage appears, the oil pressure is too low.
.,. Pull
off the road .
.,. Stop the vehicle.
.,. Turn
off the engine.
.,. Check the engine oil level ¢ page 224.
.,. If the eng ine oil level is too low, add eng ine
oil ¢
page 224 . Make sure that the oil pres ­
sure warning symbol. appears no longer
in the display before you start dr iv in g again .
.,. If the engine oil level is correct and the ind i­
cator light still turns on, turn the engine
off
and do not continue driving. Seek professio­
na l assistance .
(D Tips
- The engine oil pressure symbol. is
not an indicator for a low engine oil lev­
el. Do not rely on it. Instead, check the
oil level in your engine at regular inter­
vals, preferably each time you refuel,
and always before going on a long trip.
- The yellow oil level warning indication
l!I requires oil refill or workshop serv­
ice without delay. Do not wait until the
red oil pressure warning. starts to
flash before you respond to the low oil
level warning
1!1-By then, your engine
may already have suffered serious dam­
age.

• WARNING: Please add oil immediately
If the indicator light and the message appear,
add engine oil immediately

Trip computer
Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with trip computer
The trip computer gives you information on
current and average fuel mileage, average
speed, fuel range and driving time .
Fig. 9 Trip comp uter d isp lay : Ave rage fuel mileage
The following information is continuously
eva luated by the trip computer and can be dis­
played sequentia lly in the instrument cluster
disp lay:
Fuel range
The estimated cruising range in miles (km)
appears in the display. This tells you how far
your vehicle wi ll be able to travel on the cur­
rent tank of fuel and with the same driving
style. The display changes in increments of 6
miles (10 km).
The cruising range is calcu lated based on the
fuel consumption for the last 18 miles
(30 km). If you drive conservatively, the cruis­
ing range will increase.
Average fuel mileage
The average fuel economy in MPG (l/100 km)
since you last cleared the memory appears in
this display. You can use this disp lay to adjust
your driving technique to achieve a desired
mileage.
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneous fuel consumption in miles
per gallon (l/100 km) is shown in this disp lay.
You can use this display to adjust your driving
technique to achieve a desired mileage.
Driver information display 25
Fuel consumption is recalculated at intervals
of 33 yards (30 meters). This display switches
to gallons/hour (liters/hour) when the veh icle
is not moving .
Average speed
The average speed in mph (km/h) s ince you
last reset the memory appears in the display.
Elapsed time
The length of time that yo u have been driving
s inc e you last reset the memory appears in
this display.
Distance
The distance that has been covered since the
last time the memory was cleared appears in
the display.
(0 Tips
- Fuel consumptions (average and cur ­
rent), range and speed are displayed in
metric units on Canadian models.
- All stored values will be lost if the vehi­
cle battery is disconnected.
Memories
App lies to vehicles: wi th trip computer
The trip computer is equipped with two fully
automatic memories as well as an efficiency
program*.
Fig. 10 T rip comput er dis play: memory lev el 1
You can switch between the trip computer 1
and 2 and the efficiency program* by pressing
the
I RESET I button @c::> page 26, fig. 11 .
You can tell which memory leve l is currently
active by the number or the sign in the display .,..

26 Driver in formation d isplay
¢fig . 10 . The data from the single -trip mem ­
ory (memory leve l 1) is being displayed if a
D
appears in the display . If a II is shown, then
the data from the total -trip memory is being
d isplayed (memory leve l 2). The fuel pump
nozzle
iii indicates the efficiency program*
¢ page 27.
Single-tr ip m emory (Trip computer 1 )
The single-trip memory stores the trip infor­
mat ion from the time the ignition is turned o n
until it is turned off. If the trip is continued
w ithin 2 hours from the t ime the ignition was
turned off, the new data will be included in
the calcu lation of the current trip i nfo rma­
tion .
If the t rip is inte rrupted fo r more than 2
hours the memory is reset automati ca lly.
Total -trip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the sing le-trip memory, the tota l- tr ip
memory is not reset automatically . Th is per­
mits you to evaluate your d riving data for the
enti re pe riod be tween manual rese ts.
Efficiency program*
The effic iency program can help you to use
less fuel ¢
page 2 7.
Operation

Resetting the service interval display
Your authorized Audi dealer will reset the cor­
responding service schedule after performing
the appropriate service on yo ur vehicle . Yo u
also have the possibility to reset the oil
change schedule after having performed an
oil change according to Audi specifications.

(D Note
If you disconnect the battery terminals, no
calculations can be made for the serv ice
interval display during this time and no
service rem inder wi ll appear. Remember
that observing the proper service intervals
is vitally important to extend ing the life of
your vehicle, particu larly the eng ine, and
maintaining its value. Even if the mileage
driven is low, the maximum period of one
yea r from one service to the next must not
be exceeded .
@ Tips
-Do not reset the display between oil
changes, otherwise the display will be in­
correct.
- The information in the Service Reminder
r ema ins stored even when the vehicle
battery is disconnected.
On-Board Diagnostic
system (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (4 i n
the instrument cluster is part of the On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD II) system.
The warning/indicator light illuminates when
the ignition is switched on and goes out after
the engine starts and the idle has stabilized .
This indicates that the MIL is working proper­
ly.
If the light does not go out after the engine
is started, or illuminates while you are driv­
ing, a malfunction may exist in the eng ine sys­
tem . If the light illuminates, the catalytic con­
verter could be damaged .
Continue driving
with reduced power (avoid­
ing sustained high speeds and/or rapid accel­
erations) and have the cond ition corrected.
Contact your authorized Audi dealer.
If the light illuminates, the electronic speed
limiter may also be malfunct ioning. For more
information
c:> page 31 , Electronic speed
limiter.
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the
MIL light to illuminate
c:>page 217.
On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 18 Locat io n of Data Link Con nector (D LC)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the compo­
nents of your emission control system . Each
monitored component in your engine system
has been assigned a code. In case of a mal­
function, the component will be identified
and the fault stored as a code in the control
module memory.
The MIL light may also illuminate if there is a leak in the on-board fuel vapor recovery sys­
tem. If the light illuminates after a refueling,
stop the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler
cap is properly closed
c:> page 217.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the
stored data can on ly be displayed using spe­
c ial diagnostic equipment (generic scan tool
furOBD) .
