- Fig. 15 Instrument cluster: Consumption display
Resetting values to zero
Important: The consumption, short-term memory or long-term memory display must be selected.
To reset the figures in the selected memory to zero, press the left thumbwheel on the multi-function steering wheel for one second. Or:
On the multi-function steering wheel, select right control button > Reset values*.
The equipment installed on your vehicle determines which of the following displays are available:
- Date and time link►
- Plug-in hybrid drive: range link►
- Average fuel consumption
- AdBlue range link►
- Single journey memory summary
- Total journey memory summary
- Energy consumers link►
- Driver assistance link►
- Traffic sign recognition link►
The single journey 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 figures are automatically included in the calculation.
Unlike the single journey memory, the total journey 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.
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption can be shown in a bar display Fig. 15►. The average fuel consumption from the single journey memory can also be displayed. If the bar turns green, your vehicle is saving fuel using the following function:
- Recuperation: Electrical energy can be stored in the battery (recuperation) if the vehicle is travelling downhill or coasting in gear (overrun). In this case, the bar will move towards the
symbol. - Cylinder on demand*: The engine automatically shuts down two cylinders when performance demand is low and certain other conditions have been met. This process is imperceptible to the occupants. The driver message 2-cylinder mode will appear if the average fuel consumption display Fig. 15► is selected in the instrument cluster. The cylinders are reactivated under heavier load conditions.
In the Energy consumers view, auxiliary equipment currently affecting the vehicle s fuel consumption is listed. The display shows up to three energy consumers. The energy consumer drawing the most power appears at the top of the list. If more than three energy consumers are switched on, the ones currently using the most power are displayed. In addition, a scale indicates the overall current fuel consumption of all energy consumers.
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select and efficiency mode
In efficiency mode, economy tips are shown briefly on the instrument cluster display in certain situations where fuel economy is affected. By following these economy tips, you can save fuel.
To clear an economy tip from the display immediately, press the left thumbwheel on the multi-function steering wheel.
To activate/deactivate economy tips: Select the following on the infotainment system: MENU button > Car > Audi drive select. Select: efficiency > right control button > Economy tips.
Note
- The date, the time and the time/date display format can be changed via the infotainment system link►.
- The economy tips are not always displayed in every conceivable situation, but are deliberately spaced out over time.
- Once you have cleared an economy tip from the display, it will not appear again until the next time you switch on the ignition.
