dynamic mode. The display is shown in the status  
bar.  
Changing between the standard and  
extended views  
The instrument cluster has two views – the stand-  
ard view and the extended view.  
The engine has reached its operating tempera-  
ture in normal driving conditions when the oil  
temperature is between 80°C and 120°C. If the  
engine is running under increased load at high  
ambient temperatures, the oil temperature may  
increase significantly. This is no cause for con-  
cern, provided that the indicator/warning lamps  
In the standard view, the central display area is  
shown and the tabs are always displayed.  
In the extended view, the central display area is  
larger and the tabs are hidden.

The odometer records the vehicle's total mileage.  
Description of displays  
Information on the rev counter  
Information on consumption  
The rev counter indicates the number of engine  
revolutions per minute. The start of the red zone  
on the dial indicates the maximum engine speed  
which may be used briefly in all gears after the  
engine has been run in properly. However, it is  
advisable to change up a gear or select transmis-  
sion position D/S (or lift your foot off the acceler-  
ator) before the needle reaches the red zone.  
The current consumption can be shown in a bar  
display. The average consumption from the  
short-term memory can also be displayed.  
Information on the short-term and long-  
term memories  
The short-term memory collects the information  
on a journey from the time the vehicle is switched  
18  
Instrument cluster  
on until it is switched off. If the journey is re-  
sumed within two hours after the vehicle is  
switched off, the new figures are automatically  
included in the calculation.  
Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term  
memory is not reset automatically. In this way,  
you can determine the period for which you wish  
the on-board computer to supply driving infor-  
mation.  
Information on the gear shift indicator  
To familiarise yourself with the gear shift indica-  
tor, drive in the normal way to start with. A gear  
change will be recommended on the instrument  
cluster display if the gear you are in is not the  
most economical choice. If no gear change is rec-  
ommended, you are already in the most econom-  
ical gear.  
The display is only visible in tiptronic mode.  
The symbol after the current gear means  
change up a gear.  
The symbol after the current gear means  
change up two gears.  
CAUTION  
The gear shift indicator is intended to help  
the driver save fuel. It is not intended to rec-  
ommend the right gear for all driving situa-  
tions. In certain situations, only the driver can  
choose the correct gear (for instance when  
overtaking or driving up a steep gradient).

Audi assistant  
Functions and operation  
Introduction  
You can switch routines and proactive sugges-  
tions on/off in the Audi assistant menu  
ðpage 29.  
The Audi assistant enables you to use a wide  
range of vehicle and infotainment functions via  
voice control. If there is an active internet con-  
nection, you can ask for online content such as  
the current weather or news. In addition, the  
Audi assistant tries to understand the logged-in  
user’s behaviour in order to offer routines and  
proactive suggestions that make it easier and  
more convenient to operate the vehicle.  
System limitations  
Routines and proactive suggestions may be re-  
stricted if the GPS position is not clear.  
The best way to use the Audi assistant  
►
Speak clearly in a normal volume. Speak louder  
if you are driving fast.  
►
Speak in a normal tone without long pauses.  
►
Close any doors or windows, etc., to reduce  
background noise. Make sure that passengers  
are not talking when you say a command.  
Using routines and proactive suggestions  
Important: You must be logged in with a myAudi  
user ID in the vehicle.  
►
Keep the vents pointed away from the micro-  
phones located near the front interior lights in  
the headliner.  
Routines  
If a recurring pattern of actions is identified, the  
Audi assistant can recommend a routine. If a rou-  
tine is stored, it will be performed automatically  
when the appropriate conditions are fulfilled. For  
example, the climate control will be set automat-  
ically at a certain outside temperature. Routines  
cannot be performed in certain situations and  
may be forgotten.  
WARNING  
– Please direct your full attention to the road  
at all times! As the driver, you have full re-  
sponsibility for the safety of the vehicle and  
other road users. For this reason, you should  
only use the functions in a manner that al-  
lows you to maintain control of the vehicle  
in all situations – risk of accident!  
You can switch automatically generated routines  
on/off or delete them in the Audi assistant menu  
ðpage 29. You can cancel a routine that has  
been performed by switched the function off or  
saying “Hey Audi, reverse routine”. It is only pos-  
sible to cancel a routine via voice command for a  
short time after the routine is performed.  
– The Audi assistant must not be used in cases
