Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automatically. You can se­
lect the time period for evaluat ing trip informa­
tion yourself.
F or some vehicle functions, you can access driv­
ing information from the short-term memory
consecutively in the line ©~
page 23, fig. 5 by
turning the thumbwheel @.
Fuel consumption
The cu rrent fue l consumption can be shown us­
ing a bar graph¢
fig. 8. The average consump­
tion stored in the short-term memory is also dis­
p layed. If the bar is green, your vehicle is saving
fuel through one of the following functions:
- Recuperation : electrical energy can be stored in
the battery when the vehicle is coasting or driv­
ing downh ill. The bar will move toward 0.
-Cylinder on demand system*: the engine auto­
matically switches four cylinders
(4.0L TFS!) or
six cylinders (6.3L FSI) off when lower power
output is required and other conditions are met . This change is not noticeable to the pas­
sengers. The cylinders will switch on again
when higher power output is needed.

A scale @also shows the current total consump­
tion of all other equipment .
Fuel economy messages
Fuel economy messages a re displayed when fuel
consumption is increased by certain conditions
~ fig. 10. If yo u follow these fuel economy mes­
sages, you can reduce your vehicle's consumption
of fuel. The messages appear automatically and are only displayed in the effic iency program. The
fuel economy messages turn off automatically

Yo u can adjus t the tilted mir ro r sur face by turn­

T he m irror goes back into its or iginal pos ition
once you drive forward faster t han 9 mph (15
km/h) or sw itch the ignition off.
A WARNING
-Cu rved m irror surfaces (aspher ic or convex *)
enlarge the field of v is ion . However, they
make objects in the mirro r appea r small er
51

For example, in a frontal collision at a speed of
30 mph (48 km/h) , the forces acting on a 10-lb
(4.5 kg) object are about
20 times the normal
weight of the item. This means that the weight
of the item would suddenly be the equivalen t of
about 200 lbs (90 kg) . One can easily imagine the
injuries that an item of that weight flying freely
through the passenger compartment can cause
in a collision at a speed considered relatively low.
A WARNING
Weak, damaged or imp roper straps used to
secure items to tie-downs can fail during hard
braking or in a collision and cause serious per­
sonal injury.
- Always use suitable retaining straps and properly secure items to the tie-downs in
the luggage compartment to help prevent
items from shifting or flying forward.
- Never attach a child seat tether strap to a
tie-down .
- For strength-related reasons, the mounting
hooks can only be used to secure objects
weighing up to 10 lb. (5 kg). Heavier objects
will not be adequately secured -there is a
risk of injury.

A WARNING
-The ski sack is intended only for the trans­
portation of skis and other light objects . To
reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
never transport heavy or pointed objects in
the ski sack.
- When braking rapidly or during an accident,
the load could be displaced and cause injury
to occupants.
- Sharp edges on the load must be covered
for protection. Always fasten the belt tight­
ly around the sack and its contents.
- For safety reasons, do not transport more
than two pairs of skis in the ski sack.
- You must secure the ski sack with the strap
after loading.
- Make sure all objects that you are transport­
ing in the pass-through are secured. Other­
wise they could slide around during sudden
braking maneuvers and cause injury.
@ Tips
- Never stow the ski sack away when it is still
wet or damp (for example, snow melting
from skis). Allow it to dry completely before stowing it away.
- Position skis in the ski sack with the pointed
ends facing the front and ski poles with the pointed ends facing the rear.

Fig. 77 Roof rack attachment points
.. Always read and follow the instructions provid­
ed by the roof rack manufacturer when instal­
ling the roof rack system.
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roof,
you must observe the following :
- To enhance the vehicle 's streamlined design,
rain gutters have been molded into the roof .
It
is not possible to use normal roof racks. Only
install a roof rack specifically designed for your
model AB. Contact the nearest Audi dealer for
information on approved modular roof racks for
your vehicle .
- Only use roof racks approved for your vehicle .
These approved roof racks are the basis for a
complete roof rack system. Additional attach­
ments or carrier systems are needed to trans­
port luggage and sports equipment . We recom­
mend 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. 77.
- We rec om mend that you keep the installation
instructions for your roof rack system together
with your Owner's literature in the vehicle.
When should the roof rack be removed?
-Before going through an automatic car wash (it
is best to ask the car wash operator for advice)
