Driver information system
Trip computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on cur
rent and average fuel mileage , average speed ,
fu el range and driving time .
Fig. 9 Tri p computer display: Average fu el mile age
~ 9 a: CX) m
The fo llow ing information is contin uously evalu
ated by the trip computer and can be displayed
sequent ia lly in the instrument cluster display:
Fuel range
The estima ted cruising range i n miles (km) ap
pea rs in the disp lay . Th is tells you how far your
veh icle w ill be able to travel on the c urrent tank
of fuel and with the same driv ing style. The dis
p lay changes in increments of 5 miles (10 km).
T he cruising range is calcu lated based on the fuel
consumption for the last 18 m iles (30 km). If you
drive conse rvatively, the cru is ing range will in
crease.
Average fuel mileage
T he avera ge f uel economy in M PG (l/ 100 k m)
since you last clea red the memory a ppears in this
d isp lay . You can use this display to adj ust your
driving technique to achieve a desired mileage .
Current fuel mileage
The instant aneous f ue l cons umption in miles per
ga llon (l/100 km) is shown in this display. Yo u
can use t his disp lay to adjust yo ur driving techni
que to ach ieve a desired mileage .
F ue l cons umption is recalcu lated at inte rv a ls of
33 y ards ( 30 meters) . T his d isp lay sw itches to
ga llons/ho ur ( liters/hour) when the vehicle is not
mov ing.

Average speed
The average s peed in mp h (km /h) s in ce you last

-Fuel consumptio ns (ave rage and current),
range and speed are disp layed in metric
units on Canad ian mode ls .
- All stored values will be lost if the vehicle

Memories
The trip computer is equipped with two fully au
tomatic memories as well as an efficiency pro
gram* .

Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1)
The single-trip memo ry stores the trip informa
tion from the time the igni tion is turned on until
it is turned
off. If the tr ip is continued within 2
hours from the time the ignition was turned off,
the new data will be included in the calculation of
the current trip information.
If the trip is inter
rupted for
more than 2 hours the memory is re
set automat ically.
Total -trip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the single-trip memory, the tota l-trip
memory is not reset automatically. This permits
you to evaluate your driving data for the entire
period between manual resets.
Efficiency program*
The efficiency program can help you to use less
fuel¢

On Board Diagnostic
System (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) ¢..ift in the
instrument cluster is part of the On-Board Diag
nostic (OBD II) system .
The warning/indicator light illuminates when the
ignition is switched on and goes out after the en
gine starts and the idle has stabilized. This indi
cates that the MIL is working properly .
If the light does not go out after the engine is
started, or illuminates while you are driving, a malfunction may exist in the engine system.
If
the light illuminates, the catalytic converter
could be damaged.
Continue driving
with reduced power (avoiding
sustained high speeds and/or rapid accelera
tions) and have the condition corrected. Contact
your authorized Audi dealer.
If the light illuminates, the electronic speed limiter may also be malfunctioning. For more infor
mation
¢ page 29, Electronic speed limiter.
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the MIL light to illuminate ¢

On-Board Diagnostics monitors the components
of your emission control system. Each monitored
component in your engine system has been as

ponent 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 system.
If the light illuminates after a refueling, stop the
vehicle and make sure the fuel f iller cap is prop
erly closed

In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stor
ed data can only be displayed using special diag
