On-board computer (Audi A6 C5)

Car with FIS and on-board computer

The on-board computer analyzes and displays the current and average fuel consumption, average speed, fuel range and travel time.



The on-board computer analyses and displays the following information on the displays (FIS): current fuel consumption travel time average speed This information is displayed on the FIS display in the sequence given above.

All indicators (fuel range, travel time, average fuel consumption, average speed and current fuel consumption) are indicated in metric and, in certain export variants, in the English system of units.

Use

The on-board computer is controlled by two switches mounted in the windshield wiper control handle.





Feature selection

• Press the top or bottom side of the function switch A repeatedly. The 5 functions of the on-board computer are displayed sequentially.

Erasing information

• Perform a selection of the current function.
• Press and hold the reset button B (Reset) for at least one second.

The reset button can be used to set the following zero values:

• travel time
• average fuel consumption
• average speed of movement

The trip computer only works when the ignition is on. When the ignition is on, the last function at the time the ignition was turned off is displayed. By briefly pressing the function switch A or the reset button B, you can also turn off the indication of the need to break in driving.

Note: When the battery terminals are disconnected, all accumulated values are erased.

Current fuel consumption

Car with FIS and on-board computer

Current fuel consumption indication helps you save fuel.

The display shows the current fuel consumption value, measured in l/100 km. Using this display, you can select the driving mode that corresponds to the optimal fuel consumption.

Consumption is calculated for each 30-meter section of the route. When the car is stopped, the last calculated value is displayed.



If after starting the engine the function for determining the current fuel consumption is called, then during the first 30-40 meters of the route its average value is displayed.

Fuel range

This indication helps when planning your movement.

The display shows the range in kilometers. This display shows how many kilometers the car can travel on the actual remaining fuel in the current driving mode. The range by fuel is determined by discrete values, counted in 10 km increments.

The calculation of the power reserve is based on the fuel consumption over the last 30 km of the journey. With more economical subsequent movement, the power reserve increases.

Travel time

Car with FIS and on-board computer

Travel time indicator reminds you to take a break from driving.

The display shows the travel time counted from the moment of the last reset of the memory data of the storage device. When the ignition is off, the travel time value is saved. When driving continues, the subsequent time count is added to it.

If you want to start counting the travel time from a certain point, clear the memory by pressing the "Reset" button.

A reminder to take a break from movement

Two hours after the start of the journey, regardless of the programmed function, an automatic switchover to the travel time indication occurs. A flashing "2:00" indication reminds the driver to take a break from driving.

This indication can be switched off by briefly pressing the top or bottom side of the function switch or the "Reset" button.



If you now leave the ignition on or if the break is less than 10 minutes, then every two hours after that the reminder about the need to stop for a rest will be repeated with the travel time indication of 4:00, 6:00, etc. If the break lasts more than 10 minutes with the ignition off, the travel time countdown data is reset.

Average fuel consumption

Car with FIS with on-board computer

This indication helps when planning your movement.

The display shows the average fuel consumption in litres per 100 km since the last memory reset. This display allows you to select the driving mode that corresponds to the optimum fuel consumption.

When the ignition is switched off, the average fuel consumption value is stored in memory. When driving further, the subsequent consumption data is taken into account.

If you want to determine the average fuel consumption again, you must reset the memory data by pressing the "Reset" button. When driving the first 30 m after resetting, the display shows zero.

Average speed of movement

Car with FIS with on-board computer

This indication helps when planning your movement.

The display shows the average speed in km/h since the last memory reset.

When the ignition is switched off, the average speed value is stored in memory. When driving again, new data is also taken into account.

If you want to determine the average speed again, you must reset the memory data by pressing the "Reset" button.
