Default 21 Q5e Dash symbol?


Does anybody know what the dash indicator with a green foot on the pedal signifies?

Yes, it's telling you that you should get off the throttle since there is a downhill grade coming up. It's part of one of the "efficiency notifications" that you can turn off.

It’s also tied into GPS telling you there’s an upcoming speed limit change or stop. It will slow you down with regen. Some folks claim it’s also tied into the front camera for sign recognition, but I know it does does need sign recognition to activate.

If you scroll to the driver assistance screen, it will tell you what it’s for. Usually telling you an intersection is approaching, a roundabout, or a change in speed limit. Mine will specifically say what it’s for and it seems to be conditional, because I don’t always get it in the same parts of my commutes.

You must have a Prestige. I don't get that information.

My Q5 is a Prestige, my A5 is Premium Plus and they both have it.

My green foot is always in addition to one of these symbols on the driver assistance screen, which is below the short term and long term trip information screens.
