fuel reserve AUDI Q5 2017 Owners Manual

Instruments and indicator lights
The number of keys programmed to the vehicle is
also displayed. The display
L2 3/3 in dicates that
three keys have been programmed. This a llows
you to make sure you have received all of the keys
when you purchase a used vehicle.
For examp le, if you on ly receive two keys, you
should take those keys to your authorized Audi
dealer to have the missing key deactivated so it
cannot be used. You should also report the miss­
ing key to your insurance company .
Calling up the driver information
A yellow or red symbol appears in the instrument
cluster display, usually with a driver message.
The driver message display disappears after about 5 seconds. The dr iver message can be dis­
played again by briefly pressing the
ISETI button.
Setting the speed warning
By pressing the !SET ! button briefly, you can set
thresho ld
1 of the speed warning while you are
driving

You can learn more about this in the MMI manual
or in the radio user's manual.
(Di Tips
-When you sw itch off the ignition or open
the driver door, the time, date, odometer
and temperature are displayed for an addi­
tiona l
30 seconds.
- You can also call up the display with the
ISET I button c::;, page 9 while the ignition is
switched
off.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge works only when the ignition is
on.
When the needle reaches the reserve mark, the
c::;, page 30 Ii') symbol appears in the instru-
10
ment cluster display as well as the message
Please refuel. This message is meant to remind
you to
refuel.
The total tank capacity of your ve hicle is listed in
¢ page 273.
(D Note
Never run the tank completely dry! An ir regu­
lar supply of fuel can cause engine misfiring
and fuel could enter into the exhaust system.
The catalytic converter could then overheat
and be damaged.
Odometer
The odometer indicates the distance driven.
Fig. 5 Instrument cluster: odometer
Fig. 6 Instrument cluster: reset button
The display of distance driven is shown in kilome­
ters "km" or in "m iles".
- USA models -Miles
- Canada models - Kilometers
Yo u can switch from kilometers to miles or vise
versa in the radio o r in the MMI*. You can lea rn
more about this in the MMI manual or in the ra­
dio user's man ual.

Cond itions
- Cautious driving and reserved ac-
celeration.
- Release the accelerator pedal early
and entirely .
- Brake early and evenly with short
pedal movements .
- Reserved acce leration and early
and even braking with short pedal
movements.
- Use the
!<=!VI button sparingly .
- Intentionally take your foot off of
the gas pedal to allow for lengthy
coast ing .
- Reduce the vehicle speed by re-
leasing the acce le rato r peda l and
not by b raking.
- Avoid vehicle speeds above ap-
proximately 99 mph (160 km/h).
- Use the 5 selector lever position
and tiptronic mode sparingly .
- Do not run the combustion erngine
while the vehicle is parked to warm
the engine.
- Use the rear window/exter ior mir-
ror defroster and the seat heating
sparingly .
- Park the vehicle in a garage over-
night.
H yb ri d
Vehicle behav ior
The kinetic energy of the vehicle is used to
move the vehicle .
When you release the accelerator pedal en-
tirely, the combustion engine turns off auto-
mat ica lly and is disengaged. The vehicle
g lides without being propelled .
The electric motor brakes the vehicle . By do-
ing this, a large amount of the kinetic energy
is recovered and may be stored in the h igh
voltage battery in the form of electric energy .
The kinetic energy of the vehicle is used to
move the vehicle .
The battery dra ins quickly when the
!<=!VI but -
ton is turned on, which can increase fuel con-
sumpt ion because electric driv ing is given
priority, even if driv ing with the combustion
engine on wo uld be more efficient.
When you release the accelerator pedal en-
tirely, the combustion engine turns off auto- mat ically and is disengaged . The vehicle
g lides without being propelled .
F ue l consumption can be reduced by coast-
i ng.
It is possible to coast up to a vehicle speed of
approximately 99 mph (160 km/h).
A sporty driving style increases fue l con-
sumption .
The temperature of the combustion engine
rises very s lowly and the fuel consumption in-
creases considerably.
This conserves the energy in the high voltage
battery so that it is available to run the vehi-
cle in electr ic mode .
This reduces exposure of the high voltage
battery to cold temperat ures . The required
temperature range for the high voltage bat-
tery will then be reached more quickly after
you sta rt driving .
