fuel consumption AUDI A5 COUPE 2010 Owners Manual

Driver information display
The following information is continuously evaluated by the trip
computer and can be disp layed sequentially in the instrument
cluster display:
Fuel range
The estimated cruising range in miles (km) appears in the display.
This tells you how far your vehicle will be able to trave l on the
current tank of fuel and with the same driving style. The display
changes in increments of 6 miles (10 km).
The cruising range is ca lculated based on the fuel consumption for
the last 18 miles (30 km). If you drive conservatively, the cruising
range will increase.
Average fuel mileage
The average fuel economy in MPG (1/100 km) since you last cleared
the memory appears in this display. You can use this display to
adjust your driving technique to achieve a desired mileage.
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneous fuel consumption in mi les per ga llon 0/100 km)
is shown in this display. You can use this display to adjust your
driving technique to achieve a desired mileage.
Fuel consumption is recalcu lated at intervals of 33 yards (30
meters). This display switches to gal lons/hour (liters/hour) when the
vehic le is not moving .
Average speed
The average speed in mph (km/h) since the last time the display was
reset appears in the display.
Elapsed time
The length of t ime that you have been driving since 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.
[ i ] Tips
• Fuel consumpt ions (average and current), range and speed are
displayed in metric units on Canadian models.
• All stored values will be lost if the vehicle battery is
disconnected. •
Memori es
The trip computer is equipped with two fully automatic
memories.

2 is shown, then the data from the total-trip memory is being
displayed (memory level 2l.
Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1 l
The single -trip memory stores the trip information from the time the
ignition is turned on until it is turned off. If the trip is continued
within 2 hours from the time the ignition was turned off, the new
da ta will be included in the calculation of the current trip informa -_.,,

[ i ] Tip s
The consumption estimates as published by ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) and Transport Canada may not corre ­
spond to your actua l consumption on the road, which wi ll vary
depending upon vehic le load and speed, road and weather condi­
tions, trip length, etc .•
Drive smoothly and keep a tookout ahead
Vehicles use the most fuel when they are accelerating.
- Avoid unnecessary accelerating and brak ing.
Vehicles use the most fuel when they are accelerating . If you antici ­
pate what is going to happen next, you will need to brake less and,
thus, accelerate less. Let the vehicle coast whenever possible -for
examp le when you see that the next traffic ligh t is red .
Avoid full thrott e
Driving at moderate speeds saves fuel and improves your
mileage.
- Try and keep we ll below your car's maximum speed.
Acce lerating gently reduces fuel consumption, engine wear, and
does not disturb the environment .
Fuel consumption, exhaust emissions and engine noise increase
disproportionately at high speeds. If you drive at approximate ly
three quarters of top speed, fuel consumption will be reduced by
one half. Never drive faster than the posted speed limit and weather
conditions permit. •
Reducing unnecessary idling
Even when your car is just idling it burns up fuel.
- Shut the engine off when you are not driving the vehicle.
-Do not warm up the vehicle by letting the eng ine run at
idle.
It makes sense to shut off the engine in traffic jams, when waiting
for trains to pass at rai lroad crossings, or at traffic lights that have
long waits on red. Turning the engine off for just 30-40 seconds
saves more fuel than is burned starting the engine again .
It takes a long time for the engine to warm up fully when it is
running at idle. However, wear and noxious emissions are especially
high when the engine is warming up. So you should drive away as
soon as you start the engine and avoid running at high rpms while
the engine is sti ll warm ing up .
0 Note
Do not leave engine idling unattended after starting. If warning
lights should come on to indicate improper operation, they would
go unheeded . Extended id ling a lso produces heat, which could
resu lt in overheating or other damage to the vehicle or other
property .•
Regular maintenance
A badly tuned engine unnecessarily wastes a lot of fuel.
- Have your vehicle serviced at regular intervals.
By having your vehicle regularly serviced by an authorized Audi
dea ler helps to ensure that it runs properly and economically. The
condition of your vehicle not only affects its safety and abi lity to
hold its value, it also affects
f ue l co nsu mpti on.
C hec k your o il e ach tim e y ou fill your ta nk.

The amount of oil used is related to engine load and speed .
It is normal for the oil consumption of a new engine to reach its
lowest va lue after a certain mileage has been driven.
You must drive your vehicle about 3,000 mi les (5,000 kilometers)
before you can properly assess oil consumption.
This also applies to fuel consumption and engine output.
0 Note
• Have your vehicle maintained properly and in accordance with
the service recommendations in your Warranty
& Maintenance
booklet. Lack of proper maintenance as well as improper use of the
vehic le wi ll impair the function of the emission control system and
cou ld lead to damage.
• Do not alter or remove any component of the Emiss ion Contro l
System unless approved by the manufacturer.
• Do not alter or remove any device, such as hea t shields,
switches, ignition wires, valves, which are designed to protect your
vehicle's Emission Control System and other important vehicle
components. •
Fewer short trips
~-----------------
Fu e I consumptio n will always be relat ively high on short
tri ps.
- Try to avo id driving s hor t distan ces wit h a cold engine.
The engine and catalytic converter have to reach their optimal oper­
ating t emper ature
to reduce fuel consumption and noxious emis­
sions effective ly .
Just after starting, a cold engine in a mid-size car only achieves a
fue l economy of 6 -8 miles per gallon (30 -40 1/100 km). After about a
half a mile, fuel economy climbs to 12 mpg (201/100 kml. After about
2.5 miles (4 km), the engine is at its proper operating temperature
Controls and equip­
ment Safety first Vehicle operation
Dri
ving and environm ent
and fuel economy has reached a normal level. So you can see that
you sh ould avoid short trips whenever possib le .
The
o ut side t emper atu re is also critical in this regard. Your car
consumes more fuel in the winter than in the summer .•

0 Note
Driving with an insufficient oil level is likely to cause severe damage
to the engine.
[ i] Tips
• The oil pressure warning display~ is not an indicator of the oil
level. Do not rely on it. Instead, check the oil level in your engine at
regular intervals, preferably each time you refuel, and always before
going on a long trip.
• If you have the impression your engine consumes excessive
amounts of oil, we recommend that you consult an authorized Audi
dealer to have the cause of your concern properly diagnosed. Keep
in mind that the accurate measurement of oil consumption requires
great care and may take some time. An authorized Audi dealer has
instructions about how to measure oil consumption accurately. •
Checking the engine oil level
Read oil level
Fig. 223 MMI Display;
Oil level indicator
Select: Function button [CARI> Oil level.
- Park your vehicle so that it is horizontally level. Shut
the engine off when it is at operating temperature.
Wait approx. two minutes. Read the oil level in the MMI* Display=> fig. 223. Add
engine oil if the bar of the oil level indicator is near "Min"
=>
page 275
Depending on the way the vehicle is driven and the operating condi­
tions, oil consumption can be up to a 1/2 quart per 600 miles (0.5
liter per 1000 kml. Consumption may be higher within the first 3000
miles (5000 kml.
[ i] Tips
The oil level indicator in the MMI* Display is only an information
display. If the oil level is too low, a minimum oil warning appears in
the instrument cluster. Add oil
=> page 275. If the hood has been
opened, the current oil level is shown in the instrument cluster the
next time the ignition is switched on. •
