What does 'efflclency' displayed on Audi mean?
2 Answers
Audi displaying 'efflclency' means the vehicle's driving mode is set to Economy Mode. Economy Mode Instructions: When the Audi dashboard LCD screen shows an 'E' in the lower right corner, it indicates Economy Mode is active. The screen will display 'Economy Mode' in the center for 5 seconds before automatically returning to the previous interface. Press the switch again to exit the mode. Shifting to M gear temporarily exits Economy Mode. Economy Mode Features: Economy Mode helps drivers accelerate in an eco-friendly manner by moderating throttle response and controlling the air conditioning system (heating/cooling) to improve fuel efficiency.
My Audi has been running for several years, and the 'efficiency' display actually refers to the driving efficiency system. Every time I start the car, this prompt pops up on the dashboard, monitoring my driving habits, such as how hard I press the accelerator or how abruptly I brake. The system calculates a score or progress bar, lighting up green when it's high, reminding me to drive more smoothly. As an owner, I find this quite useful—it helps me save on fuel costs. If I drive carelessly with low efficiency, fuel burns faster and is wasted, so it's better to accelerate gently and brake less abruptly. The operation is straightforward; detailed reports can be accessed in the MMI settings, showing changes in average fuel consumption. This is especially noticeable on highways, where high efficiency can save 5%-10% on fuel, making long-term maintenance easier. I recommend new car owners pay more attention to this feature—developing good habits leads to comfort and safety.
