On-board computer display
The on-board computer has different journey memories:
- Short-term memory (on-board computer 1)
- Long-term memory (on-board computer 2)
- Efficiency programme
The following information can be displayed in sequence in on-board computers 1 and 2:
- Date
- Estimated range of fuel in tank
- Driving time
- Average fuel consumption
- Average speed
- Distance covered
- Current fuel consumption
- Engine oil temperature display*
On-board computer 
(short-term memory)
(short-term memory)The short-term memory processes the information on a journey from the time the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. If the journey is resumed within two hours after the ignition is switched off, the new values are automatically included in the calculation. If the Audi A3 is left standing for over 2 hours, the short-term memory is automatically erased when you set off again.
On-board computer 
(long-term memory)
(long-term memory)Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term memory is not erased automatically. In this way, you can determine the period for which you wish the on-board computer to supply driving information.
