You can call up the fo llowing info rmat ion in the
on-board computer:
- Da te
- Dr iv ing t ime from the short-te rm memory
-Average consumption from the short -term
memory
- Average speed from the short-term memory
- Distance driven from the short-term memory
- Current fuel consumption
- Short-term memory overv iew
- Long -te rm memory overv iew
The short-term memory collects drivi ng informa­
tion from the time the ignition is switched on un­
ti l it is switched off . If you continue driving with­
i n two hours after switch ing the ignit ion off, the
new values are included when ca lculating the cur­
rent trip information.
Un like the sho rt -term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automatically. You can se­
l ect the time period for evaluating trip informa ­
tion yourself .
Fuel consumption
The current f uel consumption can be shown us­
i ng a bar graph ¢
fig. 8. The average consump­
tion stored in the short-term memory is also d is­
played. If the bar is green, your vehicle is sav ing
fuel through one of the following functions :
-Rec uperation : electrical energy can be stored in
the vehicle battery when the vehicle is coast ing
or driving down hill. T he bar will move toward
0.
-Cy linder on demand system*: the engine auto­
matically switches four cylinders (4 .0L TFSI) or
six cylinders (6.3L FSI) off when lower power
output is required and other conditions are
met. Th is change is not noticeable to the pas­
sengers . The cylinders w ill switch on aga in
when higher power output is needed .

calls at the same time. One of the calls will be on hold.
End call ends the active phone call. A call
that was placed on hold stays on hold and can be
taken off hold with
Resume.
Conference*:
a call on hold and up to five active
parties (depending on the network) can be added
to a conference call. To make an additional call,
put all participants in the current conference call
on hold using
Hold . If you press the~ button,
you can make an additional calls from the direc­

@ Tips
- The telephone functions can only be con­
trolled with the multifunction steering
wheel if the telephone equipment was in­
stalled
at the factory.
-The telephone and call options depend on
the cell phone service provider and the cell

for an extended period of time since no
fresh air is drawn in. With the air-condition ­
ing switched off, the windows can fog up,
which increases the risk of an acc ident.
- Individuals with reduced sensitivity to pain
or temperature could develop burns when
using the seat heating function. To reduce
the r isk of injury, these individua ls should

© Vehicles you are passing
If you slowly pass a veh icle that side assist has
detected (the d ifference in speed be twee n the
ve hicle and your ve hicle is less than 9 mph (15
km/h)), the disp lay in the exterior mirror turns
on as soon as the vehicle enters your blind spot .
The display will not tu rn on if you quic kly pass a
ve hicl e that side assist has detected (the diffe r­
ence in speed is greater t han 9 mp h (1 5 km/h)).
Functional limitations
The rada r senso rs a re desig ned to detect the left
a n d right adjacent lanes when the road lanes a re
the normal wid th . In some s ituat ions, the d isplay
i n the exterior mir ror may turn on even tho ugh
there is no vehicle located in the area that is criti ­
cal for a lane change. For example:
- If the lanes a re n arrow o r if yo u are driv ing on
the edge of your lane . If this is the case, the
system may have detected a vehicle in another
l ane that is no t adjacent to your c urrent lane .
- If you are dr iving through a cu rve . Side assist
may react to a vehicle that is one lane over
from the adjacent lane .
-If side assist reacts to other objects (such as
high or displaced guard rails) .
- In poor weat her condit ions . The side assis t
functions are limited.
D o not cove r the rada r
senso rs ~ fig. 121 with

jects , beca use they w ill impair the f unct ion . Do
not use side assist when towing a trailer . For in­
formation on clean ing,
see ~ page 306 .
A WARNING
- Always pay atte ntion to traffic and to the
area around yo ur vehicle. Side assist cannot
replace a dr iver's attention . The dr iver alone
is a lways responsible for lane changes and
s imi lar d riving maneuvers .
- In some situat ions, the system may not
func tion or its funct io n may be lim ited . For
example:
-
A ss istance systems
- if vehicles are approach ing or being left
behind very q uick ly. The disp lay may not
turn o n in time.
- In poor weat her condit ions such as heavy
r ain, snow or heavy m ist .
- On very w ide lanes, in tight curves, or if
the re is a rise i n the road surface. Veh icles
i n the ad jacent lane may not be detected
because they are outside of the sensor
range.
- Aud i side assist cannot detect all vehicles
under all conditions, which can increase the
r isk of acc idents .
- Please note that s ide ass ist only d isp lays ap­
proaching vehicles or vehicles in yo ur blind
spo t if your ve hicle is traveling a t least
19 mph (30 km/h).
- In ce rtain s ituations, the system may not
wo rk or its f unct io n may be lim ited . For ex­
a m ple:
- The display may not turn on at the r ight
time if vehicles are approach ing or pass ing
very quickly.
- In poor weat he r con dit ions, such as heavy
rain, snow or fog .
- In very wide lanes, in tig ht c urves or whe n
there are slopes in the roadway, vehicles
i n the ne ighbor ing lanes may not be de­
tected because they are o utside of the
senso r range.
@ Note
The sensors can be d isp laced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and u nderbody. This ca n impair the system. Have
an a uth or ized Audi dea ler or author ized Audi
Service Fac il ity check the ir fu nct io n.
