Auto Check Control
Some functions and vehicle components are
scanned for their operating status when you
switch the ignition on and while you are driving. Malfunctions or required service procedures are
signaled audibly and indicated by red and yellow
illum inated symbols and reminders in the dis­
play.
A WARNING
--
- Never rely exclus ively on the outside tem­
pe rature display to determine if a road sur­
face is icy or not. Keep in m ind that road
surfaces, especially bridges and overpasses,
could be ice covered and slippery even at an
outside temperat ure above 41 °f (+S °C).
- Always remember, even if the "snowflake"
symbol (ice warning) does not appear in the
display, black ice could be on the road.
- Always reduce your speed and dr ive with
specia l care in cold weather conditions when
the chance of encountering icy road surfaces
increases.
(j) Tips
If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are driv­
ing at a very low speed, the temperature
shown in the disp lay might be slightly higher
than the actual outside temperature. This is
caused by the heat being radiated from the
engine.

Driver information system
On-board computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on cur­
rent and average fuel mileage, average speed,
fu el range and driving time.
F ig. 9 Tri p computer display: Average fu el mileage
~ 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
rese t the memory appears in t he d isplay .
Elapsed time
The length of time that yo u have been drivi ng
s ince you la st reset t he memory appears in this
display.
Distance
The distance that has been covered since the last
time the memory was cleared appears in the dis­ play.
0) Tips
- 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
bat tery is discon nect ed.
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 tim e 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¢
page 24.
Operation
The trip computer is controlled by two switches
on the windshield wiper lever.

On Board Diagnostic
System (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) ¢4 in the
instrument cluster is part of the On-Board Diag­
nostic (OBD II) system .
The warning/indicator light ill uminates when the
ignition is sw itched on and goes out after the en­
gine starts and the idle has stab ilized . This indi-
cates that the MIL is working properly . ..,.
25

Driver information system
If the light does not go out after the engine is
started, or illuminates whi le you are driving, a
malfunct ion 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 a lso be malfunctioning. For more infor­
mation
c:> page 26, Electronic speed limiter.
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the MIL light to illuminate
c:> page 190.
On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 15 Loca tion of Data Li nk Connector (D LC)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the components
of your emission control system. Each monitored
component in your engine system has been as­
signed a code . In case of a malfunction, the com­
ponent will be identif ied and the fau lt 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 fue l filler cap is prop­
erly closed
c:> page 190 .
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stor­
ed data can only be displayed using special diag­
nostic equipment (generic scan tool for OBD).
In order to connect the specia l diagnostic equip­
ment, push the plug into the Data Link Connector
(DLC). The DLC is located to the right of the hood
release
c:> fig. 15.
26
Your authorized Audi dea ler or qual ified work­
shop can interpret the code and perform the nec­
essary repair.
_& WARNING
Do not use the diagnostic connector for per­
sonal use. Incorrect usage can cause malfunc­
tions, which can increase the risk of a colli­
sion!
Electronic speed limiter
-
Your vehicle may be factory equ ipped w ith tires
that are rated fo r a maximum speed of 130 mph
(210 km/h). This is may be less than the maxi­
mum speed of your vehicle. To reduce the risk of
sudden tire failure and loss of control if the vehi­
cle is operated at excessive speeds , your vehicle
has an e lectronic speed limiter. The electronic
speed limiter prevents your vehicle from going
faster than the tire speed rating . For more infor­
mation
c:> page 207.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle roadspeed signals, the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)
II will illuminate. If this occurs, con­
tact the nearest authorized Audi dealer for ass is­
tance .
_& WARNING
Always observe the posted speed limits and
adjust your speed to suit prevailing road, traf­
fic and weather conditions. Never drive your
vehicle faster than the maximum speed rating
of the tires insta lled .
