Default Center Display

Question on the center console display. I like to use the one that displays my MPH (large at top) and then my current MPG. The MPG display I use has a little icon next to it that looks like a "no" symbol (circle with a line through the middle). I assume this is the correct one to use.

I have a question about the mileage displayed on the display. It currently shows my total overall mileage (ie: 1225) which is fine but then it has a number next to it that has no relevance (ie: 1052). I have reset all mileage counters in both the #1 and #2 settings and this number (1052) does not change. Any ideas?

Correct me if I am wrong but the #1 setting is for the current trip and resets every 2 hours after car has been turned off and the #2 setting is for overall.

Any help is appreciated.

the zero w/ the slash means average.

our cars have 4 odomoters.
1. the main odometer that cannot be reset for the vehicles lifetime
2. a trip odomoter easily reset with the 0.0 on the bottom corner of that screen
3 & 4. the trip odomoters in the onboard computer.

hope this answers your question.

If I remember right, avg MPG #1 resets everytime you shut off the car and # 2 resets when you hold that reset button on the bottom of your right stalk. I reset # 2 on every fill up.

#1 goes 2 hours of the vheicle being turned off then resets itself.

that 1052 is the odometer that is reset by the 0.0 on the dash itself, not the odometers you get (1&2) when scrolling through the screens. Took me a week to figure that out myself.

Audi could have made it less complex-I think about 95% of the owners would not lose much -my DF included.

I never noticed the 0.0 on the dash... thanks for the info!

It's my 1st Audi and it is definetly one of the more complex cars to operate that I have ever owned. But I love it....!
