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
5 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.

On-Board Diagnostic
system (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) ¢4' i n
the instrument cluster is part of the On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD II) system.
The warning/indicator light illuminates when
the ignition is switched on and goes out after
the engine starts and the idle has stabilized .
This indicates that the MIL is working proper
ly.
If the light does not go out after the engine
is started, or illuminates while you are driv
i ng, a malfunction may exist in the eng ine sys
tem . If the light illuminates, the catalytic con
verter could be damaged .
Continue driving
with reduced power (avoid
ing sustained high speeds and/or rapid accel
erations) and have the cond ition corrected.
Contact your authorized Audi dealer.
If the light il luminates, the electronic speed
limiter may also be malfunct ioning. For more
information

On-Board Diagnostics monitors the compo
nents of your emission control system . Each
monitored component in your engine system
has been assigned a code. In case of a mal
function, the component will be identified
and the fault 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 sys
tem. If the light illuminates after a refueling,
stop the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler
cap is properly closed

Fig. 73 allroa d: Roof ra ck atta chm ent points
~ Always read and follow the instructions pro
vided by the roof rack manufacturer when
installing the roof rack system.
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roof, you must observe the following:
- Only use roof racks approved for your vehi
cle. These approved roof racks are the basis
for a complete roof rack system. Additional
attachments or carrier systems are needed
to transport luggage a nd sports equ ipment .
We recommend using roof racks from the
Audi original accessories program.
- When installing the roof rack, make sure it
is only mounted on the designated locations
on the roof ¢
fig. 72 or¢ fig. 73 .
-We recommend that you keep the installa
tion instructions for your roof rack system
together with your Owner 's literature in the
veh icle .
Sea ts a nd s to rage 67
Wh en sh ould th e ro of rac k be r emo ved ?
-Before going through an automatic car wash
(it is best to ask the car wash operator for
advice).
- When not in use, to reduce fuel cons ump
tion, wind noise and to guard against theft.
A WARNING
=
- Use of an unapproved roof rack or incor-
rect mounting of an approved roof rack
can cause the roof rack or the items at
tached to it to fall off the roof onto the road.
- Objects falling from the roof of a vehicle
can cause a crash and personal injury.
- Only mount the roof rack on the desig
nated locations on the roof
i:> fig . 72.
- The roof rack system must be installed
exactly according to the instruct ions pro
vided.
- When driving with a roof rack system,
changes to the center of gravity and wind
resistance can change the vehicle han
dling and lead to a collision . Always
adapt your driving and your speed to the
cur ren t conditions.
(D Note
- Your vehicle warranty does not cover any
damages to the veh icle caused by using
roof racks or mounting structures not
approved by Aud i for your veh icle. The
same app lies to damage resulting from
incorrect roof rack installation.
- Always check the roof rack mountings
and hardware before each trip and d ur
ing a trip to make sure everything is se
curely tightened. If necessary, retighten
the mountings and check the entire sys
tem from time to time.
- After mounting a roof rack system, or
when you transport objects on the roof
of your vehicle, the height of the vehicle
is naturally increased. Be careful when
dr iving under low bridges or in parking
garages for example. This cou ld cause

Description
App lies to vehicles: with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig . 11 3 Detect ion range
What c an Audi adapt ive crui se cont rol d o?
The adaptive cruise control works in conjunc
tion with a radar sensor installed in the front
of the vehicle
¢page 99, fig. 110, which is
subject to desig nated system limits
<=:> page 101 . Stationary objects are disregard
ed . On open
roads with no traffic, adaptive cr uise
control works like a regular cruise contro l sys
tem. The stored speed is maintained . When
approaching a moving vehicle detected up
ahead, the adaptive cruise control system au
tomat ica lly slows down to match that vehi
cle's speed and then maintains the distance
that the dr iver previously stored . As soon as
the sys tem does not detec t a vehicle up
ahead, adaptive cruise cont ro l ac celerates
back up to the stored speed .
Which functions can be controlled?
When you switch adapt ive cruise control on,
you can set the cu rrent speed as the "contro l
speed "
