Technical Service Bulletin 17 Range display (distance to empty) in on-board computer 17 14 49 2028440/2 April 3, 2014. Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 17 number 12-26 dated January 20, 2012 for reasons listed below. Model(s) Year VIN Range Vehicle-Specific Equipment All Audi 2005 - 2015 Not Applicable Trip Computer Condition REVISION HISTORY Revision Date Purpose 2 - Revised header data (Added model years) Revised entire bulletin for clarity 1 1/20/2012 Original publication • The customer complains of one or more of the following issues: • When the vehicle is completely refueled, the vehicle range (“distance to empty”) that is displayed is different than the vehicle range that was displayed the last time the vehicle was completely refueled. • The displayed vehicle range drops inconsistently. • After the vehicle is refueled, the displayed vehicle range does not change for a long period of time. • When the vehicle is driven on hilly roads for a long period of time, the displayed vehicle range suddenly changes by a significant amount. • There are no DTCs related to fuel senders stored in the instrument cluster control module, J285 (address word 17). This condition does not involve or affect the accuracy of the fuel level indicator, but only the estimated distance to empty display on the on-board computer. Technical Background The primary purpose of the vehicle range display is to help prevent the vehicle from running out of fuel. As soon as the fuel gauge needle enters the red zone (well before the tank is empty), an audible warning and a low fuel indicator light activate, and the vehicle range display may show 0 miles (see owner’s manual for reserve fuel capacity volume). The average and instant consumption figures shown in the on-board computer are not used for calculating the range. Instead, the range is calculated using an internal weighted value. Two different calculation methods (filter algorithms) are used for determining the range display. © 2014 Audi of America, Inc. Page 1 of 2 All rights reserved.

Technical Service Bulletin For vehicles older than model year 2009: Only consumption figures of the last 50 kilometers (31 miles) are included in the calculation. The last kilometer has the most weight and the first kilometer has the lowest. If the vehicle is driven efficiently right before the vehicle is refueled, the displayed vehicle range could be much higher than it was after the previous fill-up. Conversely, if the vehicle is driven aggressively right before the vehicle is refueled, the displayed vehicle range could be much lower than it was after the previous fill-up For vehicles from model year 2009 and newer: A gradual driving profile is built from the last 50 kilometers (31 miles) and from the last 500 kilometers (310 miles). The short-term consumption figures over the last 50 kilometers (31 miles) and the long-term figures over 500 kilometers (310 miles) are included in the calculation, which is also based on the tank volume. With this method, the range display can only rise when the vehicle is driven efficiently for extended periods, resulting in a more accurate vehicle range. Tip: In both methods, the range display after fill-up depends on the driving style before fill-up, so the range displayed after fill-up will not always be the same. In addition, the displayed vehicle range does not refer to the whole tank volume; it only indicates a trend based on the short-term to medium-term fuel consumption.
