s istance .
(USA models): If the warning light
1111 and
the warning light
liJ appear together, imme­
diate ly contact your authorized Audi dealer or
qua lified workshop to have all brake pads in­
spected
¢ page 20.
When the light comes on, an audib le warning
signal is also given .
A WARNING
-Always observe the warnings in
¢ page 208, Engine compartment, be­
fore opening the hood and checking the brake flu id .
- Driv ing with low brake fluid is a safety
hazard. Stop the car and get professional
assistance.
- USA models: If the 1111 warn ing light,
the
G1 warning light and the m;B warn­
ing light come on together, the rear
wheels co uld lock up first unde r hard
braking. Rear wheel lock-up can cause
loss of vehicle con tro l an d an accident .
Have your vehicle repai red immedia tely
by your aut ho rized Audi dea le r or a quali ­
fied workshop. Drive slowly and avoid sudden, hard brake applications.
- Canada models: If the brake warn ing
light ., the
DJ warning light and the
ABS warning light
BJ come on together,
the rear wheels could lock up first unde r
hard braking. Rear wheel lock-up can
cause loss of vehicle control and an acc i­
dent . Have yo ur vehicle repaired immed i­
ately by your authori zed A udi dealer or a
qu alifie d wo rkshop. Dr ive slowly and
avo id su dden, hard brake appli cat ions.
- If the brake warning/indicator light does
no t go out afte r a few se con ds and the
par king brake is released, or lights up
whi le you are driving, the fluid level in
the brake f luid reservoir is too low. If you
believe that it is safe to do so, proceed
immediately at low speed to the nearest
authorized Audi dealer or qualified repair facility and have the brake system in­
spected.
- Always keep in mind that after severa l
brake applications, you will need greater
pressure on the brake pedal to stop your
veh icle. Do not rely on strained brakes to
respond with max imum stopping power
in critical s ituations . You must allow for
increased braking distances. The extra
d istance used up by fading bra kes could
le ad to an ac cident.
:l~/(®) Electromechanical parking brake
The warning/indicator light monitors the
electromechanical parking brake .
If the indicator light. (USA models)/ .

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.

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.

Wiper and washer system
Switching the windshield wipers on
Fig. 47 Windshie ld wipe r lever
Move the windshield wiper lever to the corre­
sponding position:
@ - Windshie ld wiper
off
(D -Interval mode. To extend/shorten the
wiper intervals, move the switch @to the
left/right. In vehicles with a rain sensor* the
wipers turn on in the rain once the vehicle
speed exceeds approximate ly 2 mph (4 km/h) .
The higher the sensitivity of the rain sensor* is
set (switch @to the right), the earlier the
windshie ld w ipers react to moisture on the
windsh ield . In some models, you can sw itch
rain sensor mode
off and switch intermittent
mode on in the MM I*. Select:
I CAR I funct ion
button

sensor. In intermittent mode,
you can adjust the interval time using the@
switch.
@ -Slow w iping

®-Clean the windshield. To eliminate water
droplets, the windshield wiper performs one
afterwipe operation after several seconds
while driving. You can switch this function
off
by moving the lever to position @within 10
seconds of the afterwipe operat ion. The after­
wipe function is reactivated the next time the
ignition is sw itched on.
Cleaning the headlights* . The headlight wash­
er system* operates only when the headlights
are on. If you move the lever to position @,
the headlights are washed in intervals.
& WARNING
- The rain sensor is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver is still responsib le
for manually switching the wipers on ac ­
cording to the visibility cond itions.
- The windshield may not be treated with
water-repell ing windshield coating
agents. Unfavorable conditions, such as
wetness, darkness, low sun, can result in increased glare. Wiper blade chatter is
also possib le.
- Properly functioning windsh ield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and
safe driving
i::> page 51, Replacing
windshield wiper blades.
(D Note
- In the case of frost, check whether the
windshield wiper blades are frozen to
the windshield. Switching on the wind­
shield wipers can damage the wiper
blades!
- Prior to using a car wash, the w indshield
w iper system must be sw itched
off (lever
in position @). This helps to prevent un­
intentional switching on and damage to
the windsh ield wiper system. ..,.
