Audi A4 dashboard can display speed. Method to display speed: First, press the page switching button on Audi's multifunctional dashboard to adjust the information displayed on the driving display. The driving display will first show the automatic lighting option. After the automatic lighting option is displayed, locate the activation button on the left side of the steering wheel. Pressing the activation button will display the driving speed. Display of car speedometer: One type of car speedometer displays speed via LCD, with similar principles, except the output is shown on an LCD screen. The speedometer consists of a permanent magnet fastened to the drive shaft, an aluminum cup with shaft and pointer, a housing, and a dial firmly attached to the case. When not in operation, the aluminum cup, under the force of a spiral spring, keeps the pointer at the zero position on the scale. When the car is moving, the drive shaft rotates the permanent magnet, whose magnetic lines of force generate eddy currents in the aluminum cup. The interaction between the eddy currents and the magnetic field of the permanent magnet produces torque, overcoming the elastic force of the spiral spring, causing the aluminum cup to turn the pointer by an angle.

On the Audi A4 dashboard, I most frequently use the digital speed display function, especially in the new virtual cockpit system. It can be operated using the multifunction buttons on the right side of the steering wheel, such as pressing the View or OK button to switch to the digital speed reading in the center of the instrument cluster. This design is particularly intelligent, as it automatically highlights when speeding in conjunction with navigation. I often drive long distances, and this customizable mode makes reading the values more intuitive and accurate, avoiding frequent eye movement. Ensuring the system software is updated can improve the display response speed. Audi's interface is optimized to be very user-friendly, with simple and straightforward operation, enhancing the driving experience.

As a long-term Audi A4 owner, the speed displayed on the dashboard is something I check daily. With the standard configuration, the traditional analog dial is clear at a glance—just look at the needle position to know the current speed. Switching to a digital display is also simple; I just press the button on the right side of the steering wheel, like the View button, to bring up large digits. Whether driving in the city or on the highway, this feature is practical and can even integrate with navigation to show speed limit reminders. For setup, I recommend adjusting the default mode in the vehicle menu—once you get used to it, you won’t even need to glance consciously.

Speed display is crucial for safe driving. On the Audi A4, the dashboard design makes the speed clearly visible, whether through analog pointers or digital options. I always keep it at the center of my vision to monitor speed changes in real time and avoid the risk of speeding. Combined with the vehicle's warning systems, such as flashing alerts on the dashboard when exceeding speed limits, it enhances the ability to prevent accidents. Regularly checking dashboard functions, such as inspecting bulbs or connections, ensures accurate readings and provides greater peace of mind while driving.
