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 analyzes and displays (FIS) the following information: current fuel consumption travel time average driving speed This information is displayed on the FIS display in the above sequence.

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

Use

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



Feature selection

• Repeatedly press the top or bottom side of the function switch A. The 5 functions of the on-board computer are displayed in sequence.

Erasing information

• Fetch the actual function.
• Press and hold reset button B for at least one second (Reset).

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

• travel time
• average fuel consumption
• average speed

The on-board computer only works when the ignition is on. When the ignition is switched on, the last function at the time the ignition was switched off is displayed. By briefly pressing the function switch A or the reset button B, you can also turn off the driving break reminder.

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

Current fuel consumption

Car with FIS and on-board computer

The current fuel consumption indication helps save fuel.

The display shows the value of fuel consumption at the moment, measured in l / 100 km. With 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 track. When the vehicle is stopped, the last calculated value is displayed.

If, after starting the engine, the function for determining the fuel consumption at the moment is called, then on the first 30-40 meters of the path, its average value is displayed.

Fuel range

This indication is helpful in planning a move.

The display shows the range in kilometers. This display shows how many kilometers the car can still travel on the actual remaining fuel in this driving mode. The fuel range is determined by discrete values measured in steps of 10 km.


The fuel consumption for the last 30 km is taken as the basis for calculating the range. With a more economical subsequent movement, the range increases.

Travel time

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

The display shows the travel time counting from the last reset of the storage device memory data. When the ignition is off, the value of the travel time is saved. When the movement continues, the subsequent countdown is added to it.

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

Reminder to take a break from driving

Two hours after the start of the movement, regardless of the programmed function, there is an automatic switch to the indication of the travel time. Flashing view indication "2:00" reminds the driver to take a break from driving.

By briefly pressing the top or bottom side of the function switch, or the button "Reset" this indication can be turned off.

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

Average fuel consumption

FIS vehicle with on-board computer

This indication is helpful in planning a move.

The display shows the average fuel consumption in liters per 100 km since the last memory reset. With this display, you can select the driving mode that corresponds to the optimal fuel consumption.


When the ignition is off, the value of the average fuel consumption is stored in memory. When driving continues, 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 button "Reset". When driving the first 30 m after the reset, a zero value is displayed on the display.

Average moving speed

FIS vehicle with on-board computer

This indication is helpful in planning a move.

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

When the ignition is off, the average speed value is stored in memory. When you continue driving, 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 button "Reset".
